Yeah, I never noticed just how funny people thought 'Last Crusade' was until yesterday. People ate that film up!

And I used to dislike the comedic aspect of 'Kingdom' but after watching it directly after 'Crusade'...I noticed how devoid of humor it actually was compared to its 1989 counterpart.

Oh, definitely. LC is actually my least favorite simply because of how overtly comedic it can be at times. It felt really overdone after the darkness of TOD simply to 'apologize.' Also the aspects that were returned (another school scene, Sallah and Marcus, Desert, Nazis, Christian artifact) feel like it might have been trying to be 'Raiders 2.0.'

So I was very happy when KOTCS was less jokey than LC, one of the things I love about it.

Don't get me wrong--I love LC. But between making Marcus a buffoon suddenly (he clearly was not feeble-minded in ROTLA) and using the father-son thing to make Indy occasionally look dopey, it must fall last in line for me simply because I like the other three more.

But Indy is still Indy! (y)

I hear you on 'Crusade'. The comedy is good but it's too present. Great film, regardless! But I understand what you mean.
:hat:

We're in the minority on not caring for the comedy in 'Crusade', though!
:p

Burtt did KOTCS. Who introduced ROTLA? My marathon didn't play the intro for it if there was one.

I was going to mention the missing Raiders intro, myself! I just didn't get around to mentioning everything in my earlier posts on the marathon experience. At our theater, we also got intros for all three of the later movies(Ben Burtt for Temple and Skull, Dennis Muren for Crusade), but not for the original.

Did any of the theaters run an introduction for Raiders of the Lost Ark??

Raiders intro was missing along with trivia and prizes. (n) They were very tight with the lanyards and posters as well. Someone who works at the theater went home with some cool stuff. They will probably Ebay it all. (n) (n) (n) (n) (n)

Amazingly I was able to bring in my whip and holster with a replica weapon. No one stopped me as the jacket might have been hiding most of it. I had a great time as well as the forethought that went into the lanyard and poster were most impressive.

I wore the whip with no problems. As I mentioned a while back, I don't think anyone feared a mass whipping. Left the holster at home, though. (and the jacket and bag)

Still need to take some pics with the big standee poster (like the one in IndyClone's photos).

My son and I were the only ones who dressed in costume (his being Shorty's hat). Would have been cool if other people wore gear. If there was a contest, I would have been bummed to have left the rest at home.

I went as the anachronism walking out of frame while Indy drank the monkey (more monkeys) under the table...

Oh, with a 63' Orioles Hat and Stan Smiths.:hat:

I pointed that guy out to my son. Larger than life in Imax. While he's known generically as "somebody from the crew," he probably went to the movies just to see himself in that scene. Maybe he said, "Hey, son, check it out. That's me."

Great hat for 30 bucks.

I guess its "passable" but you and I know it's not right...Shorty was no Yankmee fan.

Funny, but right around the time Indy was "born" the Yankees didn't exist...they were the Baltimore Orioles back then.
