Re: Indiana Jones Collection -- Fall 2012
I have the Indiana Jones Trilogy Box set on DVD as well as Crystal Skull 2-disc. But, I'm game for an upgrade.
As far as the bonus material goes, the DVD box set has a great 2 hour Indiana Jones: Making the Trilogy documentary. I wonder if that will get ported over or if they will produce a new one with material from the 4th film included.

I am sure the box set will come with all of the previously released extras from the DVDs. Just look at what Lucas did with the Star Wars blu-ray set, Empire Of Dreams, all of the extras from the prequels and From Star Wars To Jedi were on it.

Empire of Dreams was not on the Star Wars BD box set.

Didn't the opposite happen with Star Wars?

What are the chances we get a complete set of trailers for the movies like we did on the Star Wars blu-rays (more sarcasm)?
They'll probably release a complete set that contains all episodes of the Young Indy TV series and Indy V a few years from now.

We've already seen that they altered the shot of the car falling off the cliff. How much of the trilogy will be left alone?
I may end up holding on to the DVD box set just in case.

Sure, but they wouldn't release a set called "All the Good Movies (Pending Debate Between #s 2 and 3)" and rely on people having bought the other one sometime in the last few years. And no doubt there'd be a contingent complaining about that too. Not to mention some bonus features would probably encompass all films in the series.

Everyone always dogs the fourth movie (and rightly so), but the second one sucked just as much. I'll probably wait for individual releases. Since they're not really a continuing story, I always watch 1 and 3 back to back and have no need for the others.

You're insane. The second one is fantastic.

Re: Indiana Jones Collection -- Fall 2012
I saw The Last Crusade on Bravo HD the other day and was blown away by it. I wasn't planning on watching it, but I had to watch it for a little while just because of how nice it looked. It made me want to get the blu-rays, right then and there, as I couldn't imagine them being any better.
As for changes in the movie, I seriously doubt it. I know Lucas owns them producer, but Spielberg was the director and has a lot of say (even against Lucas). Spielberg spoke out against altering movies a while back (even saying he regretted changing ET and will probably not release the 2002 version on Blu-ray). Some might argue that if Spielberg had a say against Lucas, then the 4th wouldn't have been as bad, but I just don't think Spielberg cared at that point. Lucas does respect Spielberg and asks his opinion a lot (even if he doesn't always listen), but these are Spielberg's movies as well, so I'm sure he would listen to him this time around. Heck, it was actually Spielberg that told him to direct the prequels when Lucas wanted to hand it over to someone else, despite complaints that Lucas wanted control. I read it in an interview with Spielberg a while back (don't remember where, though).

Kate Capshaw almost manages to single-handedly ruin Temple of Doom for me. She is So. Fucking. Annoying. that I sometimes can't take it.
I've already got Crystal Turd on Blu, so I'd really rather not have to buy it again.

I have very vivid memories of going to see Temple of Doom as a kid when I was about 7. They were passing out Indiana Jones things at the theater. It was all so exciting to me. I think it's one of those movies that I have a hard time looking past that experience with. Because of that, it gets a bit of a pass from me, though I certainly understand why others would slam it.
Not surprised at all that the fourth was included. I wasn't a big enough of a fan to buy it on its own, and I knew I'd have to buy it when the inevitable Indy boxset was announced.

As for alterations, I wouldn't expect anything big enough to raise a stink about. Given his recent comments about E.T., as Obidawsn said, Spielberg seems to realize that was a mistake. He should also have a say in whether the extras from the DVDs are included or not.

I imagine people can get some value from reselling it now, but probably not a whole lot.

Re: Indiana Jones Collection -- Fall 2012
I love The Last Crusade a lot more than all of them. It's what I grew up on and I love it. BUT..it's not the best one of the original 3. ToD beats the shit out of it. Taking risks, better direction, etc etc.
The best is easily Raiders but ToD was a film where a chance was taken and it fucking worked. I admire the fuck out of it cuz of what it did.

My order of preference for the Indy films is the same as their order of release.
