Poll: Are you going to the premiere in Full Indy Gear?
Hey All,
Just curious as to how many of you are going to the Crystal Skull Premiere in your area in Full Gear? I am pretty certain I am the biggest IndyFan in my immediate area (PrettyBigGuy lives about 20 minutes north of me.) IndyFans are as HardCore as the SW crowd but there are fewer of us. I have a feeling that if I were to Gear Up for the Premiere, I'd be the only one, and I'd feel like a Complete Tool. What Say You?

I doubt I can afford everything, but I'll wear as much as I've got. That'll probably amount to my ol' Wested lambskin, maybe my $18 cowhide bullwhip with my homemade leather whipholder, the Fieldmaster I'm trying to get before the premiere, and that's about it. I might bring my MKVII bag too, but it still has the webbing on it. I'd hate to cut it off just for the sake of screen accuracy.
Beyond that it's jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers sadly. Unless I magically get a job and buy some more gear before then.
Getting gear before the premiere is a big motivator for me. It's probably also true that Indy 4 may have reminded me how much I used to want gear, but gave up on it in the name of "practicality." It's a childhood dream, and I decided that before May 22 I should try my hardest to fulfill it.
But I'm also worried that after the premiere, and everything quiets down, I'll loose the intense motivation I have to get more gear.

No. I made this mistake in 1999 - Here's the true, untold story and I will be brief.
I watched news footage here in Atlanta of costumed fans waiting in line for Episode I at local movie theatres. I decide, being then a lifelong Star Wars fan, that A) It's safe to do so, and B) I have a costume to put all those to shame! So, I deck out in a virtually screen accurate Luke Skywalker Tatooine outfit, custom boots and whatnot with Graflex saber at my custom-made belt and everything.
I go into the theater at 12 a.m. for the first midnight showing. The theatre is packed and I walk into the bottom aisle of the stadium seating - and NOT ONE OTHER PERSON is dressed up. The entire theatre stops talking almost all at once - probably 300+ people - and stare at me in bemused silence. I take my seat, now very self-conscious and feeling betrayed by the footage on the local news (where were all those people?!) and then am doubly humiliated when the film is gosh-awful.
In the event that KOTCS is a cinematic embarrassment and in the interest of not being humiliated a second time, I am going gearless, Wested and Adventurebilt at the most...if that...

I'll wear what I have, which should be a full (largely close-enough) set by then. No gun, of course, and I'm still on the fence about wearing the whip.
If I'm the only one dressed up, so be it. The people who know me already think I'm kind of a nut for the work I put into costumes. The people who don't know me don't worry me, as their opinions are hardly relevant.
For those as are embarrassed, find friends! There are lots of other people from the Indiana Jones movies that your friends could be, and some of the costumes can be recognizable without being screen accurate.

I pretty much have NO choice in the matter - all my friends REFUSED to see it with me UNLESS I'm in FULL gear. "Kenny, you're not going with just the hat, or just the hat and jacket, but the FULL outfit. We're talking boots, whip, and even the freaking socks!", said my friend Peter . I'm banking on getting my whip from Todds soon enough to learn a few basic cracks before the premiere, because you know SOMEBODY is gonna wanna see if "I can walk the walk" (or is it "talk the talk"?). Who knows, maybe the theater will hire me for the day to take pictures with kids and stuff . Besides, who cares if anybody says anything? Like they expect people NOT to dress up as the character of a major franchise when a new movie is released? Those are the same arse holes that make fun of people on Halloween, when it's them that needs to grow up. I say, bring it on!!!!
PS: Anybody else realize that Indiana Jones events are the ONLY events where the preperation calls for wrinkled clothes covered with [Fuller's] Earth, as oppossed to the clean, pressed, black-tie affair?

Keep in mind French that Indy Gear is a lot more inconspicuous than a Star Wars costume. Even with a Fedora. Plus, it definitely helps if you go with friends, even if those friends aren't wearing costumes themselves. Just being around other people makes you more resilient to "the stare." :junior: -MIndyFrench wrote:No. I made this mistake in 1999 - Here's the true, untold story and I will be brief.

Definitely. Going with friends kills a lot of the awkwardness. Although, I've never been to a movie in costume before. Never had a reason to before now. But this is Indiana Jones. I would hope that most Indy fans would at least try to wear something Indy-ish.Mulceber wrote:Keep in mind French that Indy Gear is a lot more inconspicuous than a Star Wars costume.

When I went to Pirates 2 I saw plenty of people sporting piratey clothing. I think it's my duty as an Indy fan to wear whatever I can. Full gear if I can get it, but as much as I can anyway. Even if I never wear gear the rest of the time. This moment calls for it. Anybody at the theater that night who has a problem with that can go jump in a lake.
I figure we are like representatives, or emissaries, of Indy fandom. That's why it's our duty to dress up. We're the ones who are setting the bar for gear wearing.
If you can wear the entire costume, I highly recommend it. Cuz that night I am Indiana Jones. That's all there is to it.
Me neither. It's going to be a new experience, but I've already invited at least 2 friends to the movie, so I'm hoping this will work out well.Although, I've never been to a movie in costume before.
Thanks for the encouragement, I'll definitely be going in full gear (sans the bullwhip and possibly the holster). :junior: -MIf you can wear the entire costume, I highly recommend it. Cuz that night I am Indiana Jones. That's all there is to it.
Hmmm! Reading this thread kind of put me on the fence, actually. Before I'd have said "Yeah! Yeah!" If I did, I'd definitely wear the whip. It helps to go with friends, and it helps even more to go with other gearheads.
I think I'm going to end up going with Jerry / Dejah Thoris / et. al., IF we can swing it. And If that happens, you can bet I'll be in full gear. Otherwise, who knows? Maybe, maybe not. Definitely my AB, and likely my Wested and Aldens.

No problem. I'm as much encouraging myself as anyone else too. I don't have a holster, but can you really get in trouble for wearing a whip in public? I mean I guess normally you could, but maybe I could get away with it since it's at an Indy movie. Hard to say.Mulceber wrote:

Yeah it's a tough question...personally, I'm inclined not to risk it. I'll probably just leave the whip at home. No point in calling even MORE undue attention to myself. I think it also depends what state you're from if you're a texan you could almost certainly get away with it, but here in New York we're pretty tough on weapons (which I'm normally happy with), so it could get dicey. :junior: -M

Argonaut, as a fellow Oregonian, I can assure you that the whip is safe if you want to go with that. It is classified as an "agricultural tool" rather than a weapon. A Webley or S&W though, that's another matter!
I'll be wearing an Indy jacket definitely! It would be weird for me not to wear it as it is a part of my attire every day. As to going crazy with the full gear at the premeire, and I say crazy with the utmost respect to all who plan to do so, it really depends on your community. We have three colleges in my area, so you are pretty safe doing whatever wacky thing you want. We have Ren Faires, the Black Powder and Cowboy Action Shooters (I rent from a couple of those!), the Caldonean Games (lots of kilts!), and the historical re-enactors of Fort Walla Walla.
I could probably go in full gear and not be alone. However, though I'm sure there are gearheads in this area (Milton-Freewater, OR, Walla Walla, WA in case anyone here is reading!) I don't know who they are so I would be going on my own. Maybe I'll talk to theater management and see if the want me to come down in full gear and crack the whip in the lobby a few times.

Whoah! Awesome, Weston. Not only are you a fellow Oregonian, you are a fellow Milton-Freewater/Walla Wallan! I live just outside of Milton Freewater, to the south. I'm going to see Indy 4 at Hallett cinemas in Walla Walla. That's so awesome. Had no idea there were other gear heads around here. Been living here all my life, and about 17 years in this awesome old house. Maybe I'll see you there at the premiere.Weston wrote: I could probably go in full gear and not be alone.

Wouldn't be considered rude to wear a hat in a theater? A proper fedora could interfere with some ones view... I guess as long as one has discretion it would be fine.
I think I'll just go with the jacket if it's cold enough to warrant it... it's tasteful and connects to the ruggedness of Indy without crossing the line of taking his identity.
This all reminds me of the line from PCU- "you're wearing the shirt of the band that you're seeing— don't be that guy"

I can't find the "Oh #ellz yeah" button....
Right now my frustration is trying to find a suitable premiere event where the tourists down here don't look at me like I'm a nut......
Back in '89, they had a premiere for LC about 40 miles from here, complete with radio station promotions and a costume contest...MANY were in costume, including myself. It was awesome. If they can't come up with at least that much enthusiasm after 19 years, there's something wrong.....
Maybe that's why I'm prepared to drive as far as Miami for the proper event, if necessary....I don't expect this sort of thing to happen again.

Im getting confused... I'm going to London's leister square to see the premiere and i figure it will be a few day before may 22nd coz they'll need to do a world wide tour of premieres before the release... for that i think i will get completely dressed up. But on may 22nd i'll prob be watching it at my home cinema were like people have said if i have enough of my friends watching my back then i'll go full gear... but i think i'll get slightly drunk for it as well i think!!!
I take it people think it would be a bad idea to take my plastic resin s & w to the london prem yes????
I'm not bothered about my whip coz there wont be enough room to swing a cat.

French, that's horrible! I feel for ya man!
That's why to have to connect with the costume people beforehand, then you know where you're all going. I went in gear to Ep. II's premiere, and in my Jedi robes for Ep. III. So I'll be going with some of the local SW folks up here for the premiere of Indy IV. Hopefully I can get some of them to suit up Indy for the night. If not, it's me and Kathy as Indy and Marion. It'll be fun regardless.

Exactly. I plan to take mine off once I'm watching. Don't want it getting in anybody's way. And plus that's what Indy would do. It's only polite.Mulceber wrote:That's why hats were made to be removable. :junior: -MWouldn't be considered rude to wear a hat in a theater?

It occured to me it'd be be difficult to sit in a theatre seat with a gunbelt, whip, and bag. Not gonna let that stop me though. I always go to the theatre in my jacket and fedora (and always politely take off the hat when I sit so others can see the screen as everyone should do).
I find I get 100% less sass from folks when I carry the whip. People suddenly remember their manners when they see that thing.

I absolutely love wearing costumes to see movies! I had a Jedi Costume I made for Ep 2 and i wore it also to Ep 3. I am in theater, so I love costuming. I also Have a Jack Sparrow costume (see avatar). I love walking around in my costume because of all of the odd stares I get.
For me, it is being the odd man that makes me feel cool.
I am wearing all of the Indy stuff I can get my hands on.
Right now I have a WPG MK VII, close enough Pants & Shirt, Web Belt, Gun Holster, and Shoes. I just ordered a Camptown Fieldmaster and a custom whip holder. I am going to be buying my gun belt and bag strap from Todd's Costumes. I don't think I will have it in my budget to get the jacket.
