Indiana Jones and the Thread of Doom
As many of you probably know there is a new Indiana Jones movie due for release in a few short days. This will sort of act like the official discussion thread for that movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
But also in anticipation for the movie, I will be watching the original trilogy for the first time in full. (I've seen the first one and bits and pieces of the second) so it will also serve the purpose of being a discussion on the old movies for anyone who wants to talk about it.
I saw the trailer of the new movie and it looked kind of crappy. Very cheesy. But I'll probably still see it in cinema.
Have you never seen the old Indiana Jones movies?!
They're all really crappy and cheesy.
That's the entire charm of them to begin with.
I love Indiana Jones, and I want to see this so much.

As a somewhat newcomer to the franchise, what is your order of preference for the movies?
I hear a lot of Raiders> Crusade> Temple
But curious if you hold that opinion as well.
Also did you know that Temple was a prequel to Raiders?
Yes, I knew that it was set a year or two before Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I also know that this movie (Crystal Skull) takes place 18 or 19 years after Last Crusade, which explains the aging of Indiana Jones.
In all honesty, I like the movies in order they were released.
Although if you watch them in the order of Temple of Doom, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and then Last Crusade - that works too. Because you say "ooh" to a few more things. Nothing amazing or jaw-dropping.

I've seen the trilogy probably around 5 times, I love it. Yes, maybe I've changed, I think the whole society is more critical than it was 15 years ago. Back then we just accepted movies as they were, now we're always trying to find something that could have been better.

I think you are.
I mean you are judging the movie based on the trailer.
Okay, being a big fan of the series, I have been anticipating this movie for YEARS. Like, probably literally 8 to 10 years. I havent been this excited for a movie, ever.
Oh, and here is how I would rate the 3: Crusade>Raiders>Doom
I watched the movies when I was 5-6, and I had Doom on tape - so that made it my favorite. I'm watching the trilogy again after almost 15 years - Crusade is next, and they're as good as I remembered them. I can't wait for Crystal Skull!
Man, im really thinking about going to a Midnight showing tonight, but I doubt I can get anyone to go with me...I might just wait until Saturday afternoon. We will see.
