I saw Raiders 6 times in the theatre in 1981, at least once with my parents.
I saw Temple of Doom once in the theatre in 1984, a midnight preview show with my parents.
I saw Last Crusade twice on opening day in 1989, the second time with my parents.
Dad and I saw Crystal Skull separately, once, in the theatres in 2009. He called me after he saw it, and we both agreed it was… not as good as the others.
This will be the first one without either of my parents around. That thought hit me as I watched the trailer today.
I cried all the way through it, realizing at the end that there was more than one reason for that.
As much as we were both disappointed with Indy 4, Dad would probably be as excited with the trailer for Indy 5 as I am.
I just hope I make it all the way through watching it at the theatre without becoming a blubbering mess.
