    Mine works but only because my setup is located in my basement, where we walled off a window and it's dark any time of day. The downside is that it's a small room and can only fit 3 or 4 people at most, so I can never have big screening parties at my place. Still, it really saves me the trouble...

    Indiana Jones V

    I wasn't sure if I should put this in the thread about "most recent movie watched" thread or here, but since it's Indy-related, I guess here is okay. I had a co-worker over last Saturday for his first-ever screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark. He's 39 and had never seen any of the films. He...

    I have both First Blood and its sequel books. I can't bring myself to read the 3rd book. On the subject of Stallone, they produced a novelization of both Cliffhanger and Demolition Man. Man, those were the days. :D

    I think I have the book in question, although it's falling apart: The other books are the novelizations, including Crystal Skull.

    Indiana Jones V

    I've seen a few movie novelizations of more recent films, like Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy and of course the Star Wars films, but nothing lately I can speak of. Last Crusade did have its own novelization, written by Rob MacGregor (who did a handful of young Indy novels that were somewhat...

    I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be a novelization of the movie. Every Indy film had one (Even Crystal Skull) but I don't see one for Dial available. Then again, I can't remember the last time I saw a novelization of any film in the last decade or so. Maybe it's no longer a thing.

    I went and bought a Disney Sankara Stone. I had to buy one off Ebay (for a slightly higher price) but I've wanted one for a few decades, so it was time to take the chance. The lighting effect is what sold me on this particular brand.

    Indiana Jones V

    All I can think of when Indy spin-offs are mentioned are sitcoms starring the supporting characters. Can you picture Sallah, the best digger in Egypt getting into shenanigans with his nine kids and his wife Fayah? (They could call it Nine Is Enough, and every episode has Sallah singing various...

    Maybe we'll give it a little more time before we discuss details so as not to spoil anything for anyone who still hasn't seen it yet! Indy-related, but Disney is releasing merchandise of their own, specifically replicas of the treasures from the movies. I already own an idol replica and a...

    Indiana Jones V

    I've been guilty of writing a few disparaging paragraphs about Attack of the Clones on a message board or two when it first came out. Having felt deeply disappointed at Lucas' approach, it felt cathartic to analyze what I thought were missteps on his part. (I have some screenwriting experience.)...

    I wonder what goes on in the heads of people who make hating something their entire existence. I have an acquaintance (would prefer to not consider him a friend) who claims to hate George Lucas and all things Star Wars-related, yet rabidly consumes everything that comes out like a glutton then...

    This is an old joke and may have already been posted, but not in this style!

    I just got back from an 11:30 showing. I had to wait almost 30 minutes before the theater figured out that the movie wasn't running- the small crowd sat in total darkness wondering why they weren't even showing any trailers! However, they skipped the trailers (thank goodness) and went right to...

    One more trailer with some footage we haven't seen yet: There's a scene with bugs; a nod to Temple of Doom, I'll wager. :) Oh, and I managed to wear my fedora to work last Friday since the theme was Marvel, DC, or whatever- I did get compliments; apparently some of the other employees were...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Since Indy 5 is coming out very soon, I was telling myself to hold an Indy marathon and rewatch the first four films. I'm a bit busy to do it all at once, so I thought I'd at least give Temple of Doom a view, since I hadn't really sat down and watched it from start to finish in decades. I...

    Yeah, when I think of 1960's-style fedoras, that hat would not come to mind. It IS a nice hat, but doesn't seem like a hat of that period at all.

    I don't think I'll wear any Indy-related gear to the theater, but at work the management said there would be a day where we can wear anything "Marvel, DC or anything we want to support" as long as it doesn't violate our uniform code, so I might wear my fedora that day next week. The security...

    I stumbled across a board that had spoilers, and quickly exited. The temptation to go back and read just a little bit keeps gnawing at me, so thank you for posting that review. It will help me get through the next two and a half weeks. :) Right now, I plan to see it twice in the same weekend...
