The teaser trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom and the Crystal Skull, the fourth and no doubt final entry in the immensely popular and lucrative Spielberg-Lucas film series, was officially revealed on Valentine's Day. While there are admittedly one or two things about it that rub me the wrong way, my overall reaction was a positive one. To quote Allison Doody from Last Crusade I was "giddy as a schoolboy" watching it.
Even though it's only been a few days since its unveiling, the internet is aleady "abuzz" with talk about it. Bloggers are praising, critiquing and performing in-depth analysis of every second of this teaser. For example, over at his superb film blog Burbanked does a rather extensive evaluation of it, raising points of concern that no doubt hordes of fans and non-fans alike will have. As a fellow appreciator of film publicity, Burbanked not only examines the content of the trailer but the trailer itself. His opinions are perhaps a bit more critical than mine, but they're nontheless fair and lucid. Burbanked's point that he is not yet convinced it's a film that "needed to be made" is, I think, a particularly valid one. The truth is I'm not sure I feel convinced of that yet either, but having seen this trailer now, I do feel something that I haven't felt since word of a fourth Indy film first surfaced: optimistic. I had always known that Spielberg, Lucas and Ford could pull this off (if anybody could), but I wasn't necessarily confident that they would. My confidence, however, is building. Once the actual theatrical trailer is released, hopefully, it will build even more.

I saw Burbanked's post but did not read it yet. So this is the first time I've seen the trailer. Recently I showed Lily the first film and she loved it. Now I feel I must show her the next two to get prepared for this fourth one. Like you I think they just may have pulled it off. I do have doubts of course, but I also have to say that even though they may not have needed to make it, if it turns out to be a load of fun then that's reason enough for me.
Thanks for the link and the kind words, Damian!
That's especially generous of you to classify my rants as an "extensive evaluation" when I sometimes look back on them and think of them as "nitpickings of a madman" instead. I usually take these kinds of things way too seriously and in way too much detail, but when a beloved property like Indiana Jones is at stake, it's really hard to see marketing materials that are, even in part, substandard.
But I think your instinct to be optimistic is a good one, and it's one I do share, despite my initial crabbiness. I want to believe and hope that they'll pull this off and that we're all left with dopey, giddy smiles on our faces in May.
And hope is a good thing, right?
Tucker:
I remember you telling me that you watched Raiders with Lily and that she liked it. I was wondering (as I did when you showed her the first Back to the Future) whether you'd show her the other two as well. I think that you should and then you can take her to the theatre to see the fourth one. If I had any kids of my own, I'd certainly want them to see an Indiana Jones film on the big screen. Also, I think your point about it being a load of fun being reason enough to make it makes sense. All the Indiana Jones films have ever supposed to be, as Spielberg himself has said, is fun; a "B" movies made with an "A" budgets.
Burbanked:
You don't need to apologize for taking this seriously. Obviously I take it very seriously too and I appreciate your hesitation/reluctance to climb on board the "this-movie-is-going-to-ROCK" express. I share it. My point was just that, in spite of its flaws, the trailer does capture the potential of this movie to be good (which I guess is the purpose of a trailer). It seems to foster my hope rather than destroy it...
And yes, hope is a good thing. :)

「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上,最重要的一件事,就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己,你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗,耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己,你才能體會所有美好的東西,所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己,你才有愛人的能力,也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步,就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去,以無沾無滯的輕快心情,大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步,則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇,願意接受未知的指引;也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊,一路雲淡風輕。親愛的,你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人,在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................有時,你覺得痛。胃痛的時候,接受它,承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份,與它和平共處。心痛的時候,接受它,承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份,與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在,只會讓它更要證明它的存在,於是你就更痛。所以,.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺,還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊,不逃避,不閃躲,不再與你的痛爭執,如此,你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧,才會乖乖平息下去。.................心願-你許下了一個心願,你閉上眼睛,在冥想之中把這個心願交託宙給宇整個讓宇宙推動它全部的力.量去執行.,你看見星球與星球的引力牽繫著彼此,你聽見虛空與虛空.唱裡著和妙美的聲音,為了你的心願,整個宇宙正在相互傳遞,然後你放下了心願,不僅是放下,最好你還把你的心願忘記,唯有如此,它才能脫離你,發展它自己,
當它在宇宙的遊歷結束之後,它自然會來到你身邊,以你曾經希望的方式回應你,許下,只是讓它發生,放下,才是讓>它實現,你的心願使你懂得不能執著的奧秘...................
