People really want their 'Mummy?'

Fandango's new movie poll falls squarely into the "duh" category. The summer movie audiences want to see most is "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" run a distant second and third.

Let me grab some smelling salts.

But high on the list of "can't wait to see 'em" films is "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor." I thought this sequel existed so that "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" wouldn't be the worst title of '08.

Nope, it came in no. 5 on Fandango's list, drawn from several thousand site visitors who participated in the March poll. Other tidbits from the survey - Harrison Ford is the all-time favorite action movie star and the late Heath Ledger (The Joker) is the most anticipated new character portrayal.

Mummy movies = Brendan Fraser. Ask Julie why that works so well. Got your email, will put some thought to it and get back to you.

I discounted the Fraser factor ... won't get fooled again.
