On May 21, 2005 I walked down the aisle towards my future wife for the biggest day of my life. I left the church as a married man to the tune of a certain theme song (and it was not Star Wars, as many people thought). Exactly three years and one day later, that theme song is returning to my life for the second biggest day in my human existence: The release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
On Thursday the first trailer was released, and if you haven't watched it yet, stop reading right now and go to www.indianajones.com and watch it. You will not only be blown away by its awesomeness, but you will get a glimpse into the man who made me the person I am today. Thanks to Indiana Jones, I discovered the world of ancient history and archaeology, which led to my interest in languages and ancient Mediterranean culture. Unfortunately, I have never been able to experience my lifelong hero/role model/icon on the big screen because I was only six when the third movie hit theaters in 1989. Thus, Indy's return to the big screen at a time of my life when I can most appreciate him is not just a big deal, it's a monumental occasion. For the first time ever, I will watch Indiana Jones in an entirely new adventure on a screen bigger than a 20-inch TV. Are you catching my excitement?? At this point it really doesn't matter whether the movie's critically acclaimed or not because I will still see it at least 3 times in the theater, including the very first midnight showing on the morning of May 22. I might have to start a savings fund for all the theater viewings and merchandise that I will be purchasing over the next few months.
If you know me, you know that I get excited about movies, but no other movie has caused such excitement, and no other movie may cause such excitement again. I will be the guy who always brings a lightsaber or wears elf ears to his favorite movies when I don the fedora and strap on the whip for the return of the greatest adventure hero in movie history and the second biggest day of my life.

After watching the trailer, I am hooked and excited about May 22nd.
you can buy the actual whip used by Indiana Jones at guernseys.com there's a big auction coming up with a lot of amazing stuff for sale including Jack Ruby's pistol and the wicked witch's hat from the Wizard of Oz. The whip will probably only go for a couple hundred thousand dollars.
