Whether you're the paranoid type who thinks the government is hiding lizard people in the basement of Area-51, or if you simply revel in debunking conspiracies as ridiculous nonsense, you can't help but get sucked into the almost romantic notion of some larger, possibly nefarious scheme being carried out behind closed doors.

Filmgoers in the U.S. are complaining that sound drops out completely at several points during the new Indiana Jones film, 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.'
