Kind of a strange order they're showing them in. :confused:

[Michael24]

Yeah, that's strange. I remember the last time USA did a marathon a few years ago they showed all three in order the first night, then they were just cycled randomly for repeats throughout the week.

I wonder if that weird version of Raiders that adds more sound effects and dialogue during the truck chase is still used for TV airings. I'll have to try and tune in to find out.

[yodazone]

Yea, they're going backwards on the Indy airings...they're even putting "National Treasure" to start off the marathon:

[sarah navarro]

Finally!I've never seen the trilogy on t.v. before:D
Ok im gonna watch these on tv and im gonna have my own marathon before i see KOTCS that should hold me off for awhile,eventhough i just watched LC and ROTLA yesterday:)

[Avilos]

Only thing I can figure is they wanted to show RAIDERS in prime time. Which is why it will be shown last.

[Raiders of Clay]

Well I know what Im doing that day. I can't remember the last time Indy was on T.V. In whatever order it comes in it is a great way to kick of May.:D

[Crack that whip]

Kind of a strange order they're showing them in. :confused:

Not really. Obviously they're showing them in the series' internal chronological order, just choosing to sequence Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in the series according to its earliest scenes rather than its latest ones.
;)

(Possibly interesting note: Counting all of the Young Indy material collectively as a single "project" equivalent to a single feature film, as is often done... has anyone ever noticed how each successive screen Indy production is at least in part a prequel to what has come before? Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom takes place entirely before Raiders of the Lost Ark, the opening minutes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade take place before either of those, and most of The (Adventures of) Young Indiana Jones (Chronicles) takes place before any of the movies, aside from the Crusade prologue. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the latest of four feature films and a TV series, should actually be the first of all those Raiders follow-ups to actually be set entirely after the original movie - at least, as far as we spoiler-dodgers know, anyway [and no, that's not an invitation for spoiler-savvy fans to correct me if I'm wrong; there'll be plenty of time for that after May 22nd]...)

[tupogirl]

:) Thanks for the info! I know what we're doing for Mother's Day weekend ! :)

[Violet Indy]

Channel 7 in Australia is now doing the same thing! Each week counting down to KOTCS, they will show one film every Wednesday! Just saw the promo's today. :whip:

Why would you want to sit through an edited movie with commercials if you have the DVDs?

Yah exactly,its the thrill of knowing theres millions of other people enjoying it with you:D

[Snakes]

I think it would be awesome to be flipping through channels and BOOM, Indy's on TV!

[Lord_glavin]

I posted this in a thread earlier but TV 3 in New Zealand is showing it on tv too

its like DVD with special bonus features of advertisments!

[Indy Black]

Thanks for the info, I'll be watching as I don't own any of the films on dvd(waiting for them to be re-released). Saves a poor college student, watch them on tv:up:

Plus I can catch my girlfriend up on the Indy films as she's never seen any of them, yes shocking but true.

[patrickm2009]

me and some friends are having an indy party on the 17. were watching them all then. when you watch on tv something ALMOST ALWAYS gets cut.

[indyfan105]

I have direct tv in HD.. both USA and scifi are in HD.. I wonder how they will play the 3 indy movies on HD? will be in letterbox format or reformatted for the tv.. anyone got any answers?

The "Last Crusade" is being aired in letterbox so far.

:up:

[Lonsome_Drifter]

The Zepplin seems to be turning around.

[acsgrlie]

USA HD...Wow :hat:

[Lonsome_Drifter]

Why in the heck are they showing it from The Last Crusade, The Temple of Doom, and then Raiders of the Lost Ark?

That makes no sense to me.

[yodazone]

"Temple of Doom" is also being aired in Widescreen!

:up:

[Lonsome_Drifter]

My wife wants to slap me because I am watching this on USA now.
She says "You watch these on DVD at least once a week!"

What should I say?

Wish I could help. My dad just said that to me.

[indyfan105]

I am taping them on my DVR. all 3 movies.

[yodazone]

Looks like they're doing the marathon again tomorrow starting at 9am!

Indy overdose!!

:up: :up: :up:

[Lonsome_Drifter]

I just noticed that the guy was says "You are watching Indiana Jones on USA, blah blah blah" just said "You can get Indiana Jones on DVD for the first time on May 13th!"

WTF is that?
The first Indiana Jones on DVD was in 2003. I know, because I got them the day it came out!
Why did USA lie like that? Or did I just mishear what that guy said?

I was confused for a moment too but I think he meant the special edition DVDs.

[Lonsome_Drifter]

Oh, okay. I was wondering why that guy would say "First time on DVD!" lol

[Amdrag]

Anyone watching the HD feed? My God it looks brilliant. The upscale really worked.

[Shortie]

I recorded TOD in HD because my DVD is scratched. I was watching Raiders in HD it looked good.

Sci-fi will also be airing the trilogy (in the same order as USA) in a couple weeks, maybe next.

What is with the order they are showing them?

Looks like Sci-Fi is doing them in release order:

May. 17, 2008

04:00 PM MOVIE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
06:30 PM MOVIE INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM
09:00 PM SCINEMA SATURDAY INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE

Hopefully in the same Widescreen format!

:up:

[Snakes]

I noticed some weird stuff I'd never seen before while watching Raiders just now. First, did it seem like the shot where Gobler and the Troop car go over the cliff was redone with CG? It looked sharper and more realistic than I remember it. I haven't seen Raiders in awhile though so I could easily be wrong. The second is in this scene.

http://www.theraider.net/showimage.php?ImageUrl=http://www.theraider.net/films/raiders/gallery/dvdscreenshots/330.jpg

I'm positive that Toht is a dummy in this shot. He never moves a centimeter, is slouched crazily low in his seat, and his jacket is folded in a weird way. Has anyone ever noticed this?

[yodazone]

The colors are definitely retouched! Especially in the final Ark sequence where the lightning and fires are flying everywhere.

Also in "Last Crusade" the desert/canyon scenes at the end looked alot redder.

[Adamwankenobi]

I watched all three yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised at the respect USA gave to the films. Not only were they presented in widescreen, but the commercials were sparse, and their placements didn't seem to interfere with the story as much as a lot of commercial placements do.

My only gripe is that they played that DVD commercial at every commercial break.

Toht looks to have no neck at all in that one. Suspicious, indeed.

[NYCGoldenIdol]

Thanks for reminding us:D I just turned on the tv...You rock!!!!

[Indy Pendant]

I just finally realized that I have USA HD, which means that I get to watch the movie with only two-inch bars at the top and bottom of my screen rather than six-inch bars.

Oh good! I might actually get to see TOD tomorrow instead of waiting for my library to get it in! :D (It's the only Indy film I haven't seen.) Thanks! :up:

[NYCGoldenIdol]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Temple of Doom tomorrow night. Then on saturday my friend and I are going to see the Crystal Skulls. What an Indy weekend I'm going to have:D

Lucky. :) I want to go see KOTCS again (for a third time) but I doubt my parents or my brother would be willing to drop me off to see a movie I've already seen twice.

Oh well, I'll just have to settle for seeing TOD on tv. ;) I'm always up for a new Indy adventure.

Oh, and the Last Crusade is going to be on saturday night too. What an awesome weekend to have:up:

Do you have a friend, who can drop you off to see KOTCS again?

[Indy Pendant]

I'm DVRing everything in HD even though I have the '03 DVDs.

Oh, and the Raiders ghost still creeps me out.

Those ghosts were sure creepy as well as the nazis faces melting.

Somehow I managed not to look at the TV for the latter.

USA has done a great job in presenting the films-I usually hate watching good movies on network TV, due to all the cutting and commercials- but these (well, at least Raiders so far) were cut well, with sparse commercials placed in actual appropriate places, and the quality (on my non-HD tv) looked fantastic! It may be ridiculous to be waiting for a 24 year old film that I have on DVD to air on network TV- but I'm exited for TOD tonight!

[Indy-Anna]

Oh, and the Last Crusade is going to be on saturday night too. What an awesome weekend to have:up:

Do you have a friend, who can drop you off to see KOTCS again?

Unfortunatly not. But I may be able to see it soon if it's showing at the movie theatre near the summer camp I'm going to in about a week. *crosses fingers*

And on a side note, I'm watching TOD right now and I'm really enjoying it so far! :up:

[Crusade>Raiders]

Its crazy. I've seen these movies dozens of times, I have them on DVD, and yet I still watched Raiders/Doom/Crusade every time they come on TV. I'll be watching my fave Indy tomorrow too :whip:

[sarah navarro]

You've never seen TOD before:confused: :p

[Indy-Anna]

You've never seen TOD before:confused: :p

Nope, not before last night. I wasn't allowed to see it when I was younger (now I know why!) and we never owned it 'cause it never was a favorite in my family, so I never had a chance to see it until last night.

I enjoyed it though. :up:

It's my favorite movie of all time.:whip:

[DarthMickey]

It's a great movie and even gets better the more you watch it. :gun:

I'm the same way. Lots of movies I don't bother watching on TV because of commercial interruptions and the cropped aspect ratio, and because I may also have them on DVD anyway. But the Indy films are a small handful of movies that I almost always end up watching whenever I catch them on TV. :)

[Kooshmeister]

My mom caught the truck chase in Raiders Thursday, but I missed it. Darn. I wanted to see if they still used the funky-looking redo of Gobler's chasm fall. Did they?

Anyway, I was able to come in and sit down and watch the last of Temple of Doom. I was a little upset when they cut out Indy's hilarious, exasperated, "Oh....****" on the bridge, but glad they kept "Prepare to meet Kali...in hell!"

[oliverjones18]

I watched LC today
