Is this a set-up for National Treasure 3: Page 47 Deciphered?"<BR/><BR/>Bingo! At least the "National Treasure 3" part is correct. When a property makes over 200 million per picture, you milk the goose as long as you can. <BR/><BR/>But I hope they don't split up Benjamin Franklin Gates and Abigail Adams Chase (OK, I made up the Adams part, but doesn't it sound Americana-esque for this party?) this time around. That had to be the lamest plot device, aside from Riley losing millions of dollars, despite the ability to electronically control the entire Internet, access the planetery satellite integration system, and probably start World War III with his Play Station console.<BR/><BR/>I predict the proof that aliens existed next time around. JFK assassination is too lame, Jimmy Hoffa is probably a footnote ho-hum explanation, and anything else we can think of that's outrageous.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266776310787190413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896375.post-65933990265766176822007-12-23T20:28:00.000-07:002007-12-23T20:28:00.000-07:00Just saw the film...lots of fun!

About 2000 miles away? That was in another nation! Not all indians got along. And I don't get why the president didn't just say that he was NOT kidnapped in the first place!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896375.post-37347374287539556192007-12-23T03:16:00.001-07:002007-12-23T03:16:00.001-07:00The first half of your question is a long drawn ou...The first half of your question is a long drawn out answer but in response to your second half, The president did look at page 47. He needed Gates' help deciphering what it meant and/or helping him create a solution. Thus leading to the next Nat'l treasure which by the look of box office numbers is going to happen.Greggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336857752531280365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896375.post-1824427846583364822007-12-23T03:16:00.000-07:002007-12-23T03:16:00.000-07:00My understanding was the premise that in order to ...My understanding was the premise that in order to prove the Gates family was telling the truth, they had to prove that the page was torn from grandpa gates' book to protect what was on the page from the KGC. The KGC (or the confederates) were opposers of Lincoln and wanted to find the treasure to have enough money to essentially fund whatever movement they wanted so they could take over. In that sense. That is implied when Gates was speaking with the President, saying his grandpa died for his country protecting us from allowing the confederacy to get the treasure, making them stronger. It was also referred to when they were talking about the letter the Queen had written to the KGC, giving them the clues to the treasure in hopes that they would find it, weakening the United states position by funding the opposition with the treasure money. <BR/>the second half of your question doesnt have as much rambling (sorry). The president asked Gates about page 47 not to find out what was on it, but to get help understanding it and figuring out a solution and/or what it meant. <BR/><BR/>I believe I am right but of course I only saw the movie once. thanksGreggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336857752531280365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896375.post-65091479003926230062007-12-23T01:20:00.000-07:002007-12-23T01:20:00.000-07:00How did the discovery of the city clear great gran...How did the discovery of the city clear great grandpa gates' name?
