How do you watch the Indy trilogy?.

[Canyon]

I'm just waiting for someone to reply with "Why, with my eyes, of course." :rolleyes:

How do you watch the triolgy? Is it always with friends, family or just by yourself?

For me, it's usually just good old Canyon. Believe it or not, I have never, ever watch these films with my family (I don't even think that they've even seen all of them) and I have never seen them with friends. To me, it's kind of a personal thing and for the most part, at least, it has always been that way.

I have occasionally seen the films with my other half, which starts of okay, but can be a bit of a nightmare as he he knows how much I like Indy and sometimes he'll start making sarky comments about Indy etc. :mad:

I am interested in hearing your replies. ;)

[00Kevin]

I watch it upsidedown with my head in a bucket of pirana fish and lobsters crawling in my pants

[Pale Horse]

I usually hold 00Kev in that position so he doesn't fall over :D

I haven't watched the movies because i am still waiting for the DVD's. It's been that way for years, now.

[monkey]

Are you wearing the pants while this is going on?

That's amazing! You watch it that way too? I thought I was the only one that knew that that was the only way to watch Indiana Jones!

but of corse...you know, George Lucas watches movie like that for inspiration










and I'ld personally like to apologize to Canyon for ruining another one of her threads ;)

[vaxer]

I can only watch Indy movies alone or with my sister beacause I only like seeing them in english with no subtitles, and the problem is that in my country (France) people don't speek english so..

BTW find the french voice-overs horrible. Indy has a different voice in every film!

[theinfiniteweird]

I love watching Indy films with family and friends, eso. friends who haven't seern them yet, or haven't seen them in a wahile or that just don't know what's going on. This way, I get to share the excitment of a first time watch, plus I get to talk all about it, answering their questions and giving out trivia and such. But I mostly like watching it with first timers because it makes me feel more like a first timer, which the first time is usually the best.

By myself is only to catch things I might have missed, or when i have questions, and this way I can rewind and fast forward and pause at will. But I've done this a few times and I now pretty much know everything about them, so when someone says, "Nope, haven't seen them" or "Not in a long time", or just "Let's watch Indy!" I get SSSOOOOOO excited!

[LASTCRUSADER]

It really doesn't matter who I watch the films with. By myself, friends or family. Like theinfiniteweird said it is always nice to watch the films with someone who has never seen them before.

[Randy_Flagg]

I usually end up watching them from the middle to the end, simply because I don't own any of them, so I wind up catching them as I'm flipping through the channels. Then I'll watch a bit and think to myself, "I've seen this movie a million times, let me check if there's anything else on." I'll flip through a few more channels, get hooked on an infomercial or something, then realize that I don't actually care whether or not the Juiceman has a new product out, and I'll flip back to Indy. A few minutes later, I'll once again think, "Okay, you've seen this WAY too many times... turn it off," and sometimes I will, and other times I just sit there and watch it again. Kind of sad really.

[Renderking Fisk]

I don't watch them all that often so that when I do, it's a big deal and they seem fresh.

[intergamer]

I never watch them alone. Just when I have friends over, and they say, "Wow, you have Indiana Jones on DVD?" Then I watch them in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound in my basement on my 23" flat screen TV while normally playing ping-pong and foosball and chess and cards with my friends at the same time.

[IndyBlues]

Before the DVD release. I watched them by myself, because my fiance wasn't really into them back then. Since the DVD release, I watch them with her, because she admits she likes them after giving them a go, and my little boy, who is 3, absolutely loves the Indy movies. I have to skip a few parts here and there to make sure he doesn't see the gorey parts, but he loves the action, and the music. He has a set of the Indy Disny figures and plays with them while he watches, and of course, I have to join in.
Kids. What a great excuse to play with toys,LOL

BTW, this seems like a good reason to own the censored versions that you folks have over in Great Britain.
Maybe someone could help me out.

I also like watching them late at night when it is real quiet, and everyone is asleep, so I have no distractions.
Just me, the DVDs, my big screen, and some surround sound.
Now that's some quality time.

[MP3]

I usually watch my DVDs by myself at odd hours (e.g. as normal as lunch time, or as odd as 2:30 AM) on my computer. Although I have a 5.1 sound system powered by a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, most of the time I use my Sony EX-70 earphones (they rock!!!!) so that the sound is confined to my room only.

I do occasionally watch them with friends, but never with family; in my family, movies are, shall we say, "frowned upon" for various culture/tradition-related reasons.

[Renderking Fisk]

Who let this guy in?

All kidding aside...IndyBlues is a great guy. Would have saved me from a dreadful week if he had known I was really in trouble.

[IndyBlues]

Thanks for the kind words RK. I'm STILL regreting that botched rescue attempt. I should have seen the distress signals you were sending. LOL

[Vogel]

I ussally watch them allone or with m,y little brother who likes them also very much. Most of my my friends know indy but except for one, they´re not fans(indy is being broadcasted 2 times a year on the television, so everyone knows indy)). So I never watch it with friends.

[Canyon]

Nice to see that there are some mature replies here, *cough* Monkey and OOKevin *cough*. :rolleyes:

[IAdventurer01]

I watch them alone
I watch them with friends
I watch them with the lights on
I watch them with the lights off
I watch them with the volume loud
I watch them with the volume soft
I watch them upsidedown with my head in a bucket of pirana fish and lobsters crawling in my pants...

I just care that I watch them, Can-y-on!

Note: I am very bored right now.

[00Kevin]

I can watch them with a man
I can watch them from the can
I can watch them in a Bar
I can watch them from a car
I can watch them upside down
laying backwards on the ground

I can watch them from the wall
I can watch them with a doll
I can watch them on Naboo
I can watch them in some poo
I can watch them in a chair
Even with no underwear

I can watch them in no clothes
I can watch them with no nose
I can watch them in a thong
I can watch them all night long
I can watch them 'til the end
then come watch them yet again

hear the monkey? she is thanking us for our strong support

[Webley]

When I got the DVDs I watched them all, now I use the scene selection to gest see the scenes I like best.

[Renderking Fisk]

I feel a lot of warmth in this room, either that or I'm on fire.

[00Kevin]

...and the chair

[Pale Horse]

I'm with ya Canyon, how can you not be friendly to the friendliest Ravener...? :)

[IAdventurer01]

Hey! That was good 00Kevin!

[monkey]

Sorry Canyon, for my role in this descent into madness.

I like to watch the IJ movies with my girlfriend of 19 years (otherwise known as my wife), with the lights turned down low, and a bowl of microwave popcorn.

Watching Indiana Jones movies together always seems to make us feel more 'Adventurous';)

[grumpus]

GREAT ryme 00Kev nothing better then from the can

Is it the blood sacrifice in TOD, the finger necklace in RotLA, or the sliding between the boats in LC. Personally, for me and my mine, it's the "snake-surprise" scene that sends us to recreate Venice.

I usually watch them alone. Sometimes my sister joins me.

[You call him Dr. Jones!]

I like to watch Indy by myself. It's a personal experience.

I'm being friendly, teasing is a mild form of humor, not to be taken seriously, unfortunitly, we have learned that some european raveners can't take jokes very well, if ya know what I mean

It's okay, this is a crazy place anyway. ;)

Do I read right that you've been married for 19 years!? Ah well, I'm not surprised, a sweet man like you...

Uhhhhhhhh... I think you just answered your own question - it's probably the Venice scene that he was talking about. ;)

[philhos]

I got the DVDs for Christmas and I've watched them quite a few times already.

However, my 3-year-old daughter absolutely loves "Jones" as she calles him.

I feel ecstatic that I can raise my daughter the right way: she loves Indiana Jones and Spider-man. Now, if I can just get her into sports, I'll be set. :)

[ElodieJones]

I watch alone!

Because my family don't like watch a film in English. (I lieve in Switzerland).

And because they don't like watch 500 time the same film !!!

[Indyologist]

I watch the Indy films wearing nothing but a fedora. ;)









Just kiddin'

I often work out to the Jones Soundtracks… get the tune to a particular sequence… get my weights out and take off my shirt, exposing my bare chest.

Depending on the sequence, my pace is either fast or slow. If it’s few bars of Marion’s love theme I’ll do some slow rhythmic pumps with the weights. If it’s a chase or a march or a chase theme I’ll do some fast pulsating undulations.

At the end I’m panting with exhaustion… my bare chest glistening with sweat, my muscels rippling from over use. I lay back drained yet exausted.

[Indyologist]

Ilsa: "I can't forget how wonderful it was..."

[Tennessee R]

I watch it with the whole family most of the time (usually LC).

I'm not even gonna reply to that. Oh wait, I already have! :p

[Indygirl21]

Sometimes i watch them by myself, because they're kind of a personal thing, you know? Like they're sacred or something and they shouldn't be shown to anyone else. I like to just watch indy and his wonderfulness and hotness in peace sometimes.
But other times i feel the need to share the joy. My sister is always up for watching LC with me, she thinks it's a riot and loves Sean Connery's character. I also like watching them with my friends who have never seen them before so that they can understand my obsession. Or not...

[fatima]

Finally, I got some time for reply to this topic!
Well, I try to watch Indy movies alone, it's a private moment for me and it's mine, I want to pay attention to all the details (even knowing I've watched them over than 20 times each...but they are precious to me!) so in case I've some Indy/Harrison fan with me I also don't mind, plus I think it can be much more interesting then!!! ;)

[matthiassatlure]

I find it easier to watch them by myself, because most people get fed up with me, because I constantly say the lines out loud. Also, I tend to rewatch parts I like (like the truck chase in Raiders) over and over again, the longest being ten times in a row...

[Cagefighterkip]

I watch it upsidedown with my head in a bucket of pirana fish and lobsters crawling in my pants

sounds uncomfortable

[gear guardian]

Why, with my eyes of coarse. :p

[The_Raiders]

I prefer to watch them by myself, (becasue I'm the only one I know who really likes the movies) , with a bag of chips :cool:

[deckard24]

I'm usually a by myself watcher as well! My sister( who grew up with me watching them over and over) will watch them with me on occasion. It's kind of a personal thing I guess, because no one I know shares the same level of excitement for the films. I just got my folks to watch Raiders and LC recently, and they really enjoyed them. They probabaly only saw them once before in the 80's, so for them it was like watching them for the first time again. They're both very excited for KOTCS now, so I've got some converts under my belt!LOL

[Lao Che Pun]

This thread will sound like a broken record if I say that I watch them by myself, but the honest truth is that I'm sure we stand out in society by wanting to watch any film more than 2-3 times...let alone 500 like some.

I like to watch Last Crusade and venture out to my kitchen to fetch a Diet Coke like the legendary Diet Coke Indiana Jones commerical. Does anyone remember that one?

[Adamwankenobi]

Same here. :up:

[Indy_Chic]

I usually watch the Indy movies by myself as well. With a drooling bucket handy! :o

[ReggieSnake]

My oldest sister likes the movies, so she watches them with me sometimes; my other siblings, however, usually would rather watch something else.
I sometimes drag friends over to watch them, though none of them are nearly as enthusiastic as I am about them. Then, of course too I tend to drive anyone who's around me nuts talking about KotCS, and how long it is till it comes out etc.:rolleyes:(Or Young Indy trivia as of late:up: )

What generally happens is that I watch them alone, I kinda like it that way. Waiting a few months in between views keeps them fresh: I haven't watched the trilogy since November.

Yeah i know what that's like. I'v somehow managed to get each DVD from the trilogy on with my friends but they're never interested in the movie right at a very important part they want to go eat or a cat or dog comes up so they want to pet it, very frustratin :rolleyes:

[Darth Vile]

Similar to my Star Wars watching habits, I have an agreeable partner... and whilst it woudn't be her first choice, she quite enjoys sitting through an Indiana Jones movie every few months (even on a rotation of just 3 movies). Any more frequent than that, I'll just lock myself away in the TV room and watch them myself with a couple of beers...

[Mickiana]

I watch the trilogy by myself and I will be watching KotCS with millions of Indyfan companions.

[Hedwig]

I watch the trilogy by myself but if I have to watch it with someone it would be my dad. Actually the very first time I watched it was with my parents. My dad really understands what entertainment is about and agrees with me on the fact that Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best films ever made. I also watch the trilogy when I'm sick and alone at home. When my folks come home and they ask what have I done while they were gone I answer: "Nothing" and smile mysteriously... Later my sister asks did I watch the trilogy and I admit. Almost the perfect crime...:cool:

Same here.

Willing to bet you both mean crisps not chips :D damn yankees! :p

I tend to watch last crusade most, then raiders then once in a blue moon ill watch temple, sadly there is just not much i like about temple at all really. the opening is cool up until the plane crash n all but the little kids just get on my nerves.

but yeah, um, on my own i guess, a lazy sunday or saturday evening. either with a mcdonalds or with some crisps

[Michael24]

Most of my Indy Trilogy viewings have been with my parents. Growing up, we only had either just one TV or only one TV with the VCR hooked up to it. Several times a month we'd have a "Family Movie Night," and many times the choice was one of the Indy films.

In recent years, I've mostly watched them by myself since I now have a TV/VCR for myself in the upstairs spare room. But when the DVDs first came out, we spent three nights watching all three movies as a family since it had been maybe several years since we'd all last watched them together. Nowadays my parents hardly ever time to just drop what they're doing and watch a movie like we used to, so a lot of movies I end up just watching on my own.

Ok, crisps :rolleyes: The only people who ever watch Indy with me (or want to watch it with me) are my little cousins, which makes it hard becasue they like to repeat lines and stuff like that, I never say that it can bother me becasue theres at least some people other than me who want to watch it. I'm gonna try to drag a friend or two to the theatre to see KOTCS, but I'll be like the only one interested :whip:

Wow, I didn't realise that this thread had been resurrected.

I know what you feel like. I typically like watching these movies with just me, myself and I (or with someone who hasn't seen them before). Otherwise, the other watcher just doesn't understand.
