Indiana Jones 4 trailer

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

So I guess this qualifies as a viral video… I had the pleasure of catching the Indiana Jones 4 trailer the day it was released and it was a pleasureful morning in part because the trailer actually looked good, content wise if not quality. The trailer brought back some nice memories from my childhood when movies lived up to expectations or better yet set expectations so high they would never be met. For many kids my age it was Star Wars and I put myself in the mix as a fan but not a fanatic, but my true hero was Indiana Jones and the chills it brought me as a eleven year old. I remember begging my grandmother to bring me to the theater to see the original over and over and her tolerating the film to see me enjoy it. Months later I traded a copy of “The Howling” for a betamax copy of the original Indiana Jones and watched it over and over with the very poor quality, dubbed a thousand times look that it had. Anyway a few days back when I saw the “sneak peek” of the trailer on the WGN morning news ripped off from the web with a quality very degrated and similar to the old Beta film that gave me chills years ago I got chills again. Not necessarily because the trailer was amazing but because it brought me back to my childhood again when Indiana Jones was the man.
