It was rather wonderful.

Which? The German Way or the Austrian Way?

[Naïve Old Fart 9,552]

"That's how Austrians say 'goodbye'".

 

"And this is how we say 'goodbye', in Germany".

 

"I liked the Austrian way better".

 

"So did I".

I die every time Indy says “Don’t get sentimental, Dad. Save it till we get outta here.” 

Gotta appreciate how before saying anything he first tries to swipe it with his shoe before blowing it out

Fun fact: This got changed to "And this is how we say 'goodbye' at the SS" in the German version of the film.

'Our situation has not improved!'

I do appreciate how Indy himself lets out with “This is intolerable!” When they are escaping the Russian camp In KOTCS.

Good Re:View! I'm more with Rich but they do a good job of discussing the film's many strengths while not ignoring its issues. I hope they Re:View the other Indy films at some point.

It occurred to me today…

 

In Last Crusade, when Jones nearly falls through the floor in the Word of God challenge, he ends up making his initials. 
 

These are the things I think about while avoiding spoilers.

Henry Jones Jr.? HJJ?

[Andy 4,141]

Well, I suppose he eventually did if he tapped the J twice. 

[Sweeping Strings 2,363]

Buzz around DOD put me in the mood for a bit of everyone's favourite Nazi-punching archaeologist, so popped TLC into the DVD player last night. 

Much enjoyment lies within of course, although I will say this ... possibly due to TOD being seen as too dark/gory etc, until we get to the horse-and-tank chase followed by the 'Grail's last resting place' finale, there's a certain ... lack of peril (for want of a better phrase) apparent in the action sequences.    

[Brónach 1,302]

ToD has genuine flaws but i wouldn't call it dark or criticize it on that basis

Isn't it "J", then "I"?

[Bellosh 3,419]

also doesn't he hold onto other 'wrong' letters when hanging?

 

nah they prob only set up a few to break.

[Andy 4,141]

Well I see the film tomorrow.  I have to say, I don’t remember ever anticipating a movie more. This was announced years ago, and during the dark years of the pandemic, it promised … some light at the end of the tunnel I suppose.   That, along with myself, my parents, John Williams, and my heroes all aging along with the character made it all the more meaningful. Let’s just say, I’ve never needed a film more.   I hope to enjoy it, and if not, well the anticipation was fun.  This really means a lot to me. 

Anyways here’s some pics of me in my gear.

What do you use the whip for?

 

Looking good, btw.

[Andy 4,141]

I use the whip for swinging mostly. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,086]

Swinging?

[Andy 4,141]

I can crack it, but tbh it’s sorta scary. If you don’t know what you’re doing (I don’t really) you can hurt yourself.   It’s a quality made kangaroo hide whip, the real deal.  It breaks the sound barrier when it cracks so it sounds almost like a gunshot. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,086]

So when are you going to Star in Indy 6?

[Brónach 1,302]

yes we can get an indy with that vibe like jeremy irons or john malkovich

[Andy 4,141]

As soon as the AI advances enough to simply paste Ford over me completely.

Finally, technology has caught up with imagination. Or was it the other way around? 

[rough cut 1,714]

Great costume @Andy!

 

You weren’t by any chance attending the JW concert at the Hollywood Bowl back in 2016 in full attire, we’re you? I was sitting next to a dude sporting the Jones-outfit and shook his hand just because he looked so damn cool!

No that wasn’t me, but what a wonderful gesture on your part!  I’m sure you made that person’s day.

I went to go listen to The Last Crusade this morning and as I did not have my own music files handy I went to Spotify. Do people know the Concord recordings are there? But there's no disc 4?

[ThePenitentMan1 744]

 

 

[Bellosh 3,419]

That game is so good

[Holko 9,530]

Great score too!

They've been there for years.

[JWilliamsFan1999 47]

I love Raiders's score and Temple Of Doom, amazing music both of them by John Williams. 

Basically I love the original trilogy's scores for Indiana Jones and Dial Of Destiny as well

A very nice vintage interview of Spielberg with lots of details of his early career.

I do own it on CD and on vinyl. It's a great release but we still need a definitive version.

[JWilliamsFan1999 47]

Agreed. Along with the rest of the Indiana Jones franchise soundtracks.

One thing that I really like about the DCC release is that it exists in a rarely-seen perfect middle ground where both C&C fans and OST fans like this album just as much as the other releases for this score.  The music is presented chronologically, without any mid-cue microedits, but even from an OST fan's perspective, it's still a tight, fully engaging listening experience.  There are cues omitted from the program, but even from a C&C fan's perspective, the program doesn't suffer too much from these few missing cues; it feels complete, even though it isn't.

 

Honestly, if a perfect Mike Matessino release of this score had more-or-less the structure Jay posted awhile back, but also included a third disc that featured a rebuild of the DCC program without the between-track cue endings, I wouldn't complain about its inclusion at all, especially since it'd be a nice way to include the short edit of the Raiders March with the coda without needing to cram it into one of the first two discs.

 

Throw in a new assembly of the full Desert Chase that uses the uncut album take of Indy's Feats in the Alternates section on Disc 2 (for a total of 76-ish minutes) and it'd be the perfect Raiders expansion as far as I'm concerned.

It would be awesome if we get another La-La Land release but with Indiana Jones because they already did this with E.T., Close Encounters and Jurassic Park from what I've heard.

What would you want to be included on this program?  Any particular unreleased tracks you'd be looking forward to?

[Naïve Old Fart 9,552]

A remastered - and full, I might add - version of DESERT CHASE, for starters.

[Brónach 1,302]

the complete thing, alternates, and concert pieces, plus a rerecording of that whole thing again

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I'd love for both the film and album takes of Indy's Feats be presented full and uncut.

Man that DCC… for those who weren’t around back then… after going so long with the OST, when the dam burst with the 4CD Star Wars Anthology and then this DCC of Raiders… it was indescribably awesome.  Getting all.those. iconic. unreleased.cues made the hairs on the neck stand up.  And hearing the complete unedited Desert Chase was just amazing.  The mix leans heavy on the tubas in that track… I hope Matessino preserves that one day, because it was so much more wonderfully pronounced than on the OST mastering. 
 

These days we all want complete, with alternates, and Matessino mastering.  But it cannot be understated what a gift that was to the devoted back then. 

[Faleel 5,359]

The whole album brings out the low brass more.

My Raiders playlist is basically that CD with the Concord sets Washington Men/Indys Home track (that cue was a grail cue of mine, however short it is)

The Score in order as we hear it in the film, but definitely an extended version of some the action music and the Raiders March and Marion's Theme.

This exists??? An unedited version of Desert Chase???? Where can I find this?
