I like the Indiana Jones movies up to "The Last Crusade." Then came that fourth movie, with the aliens, and now Harrison Ford is 80 (he's the same age as my dad and Joe Biden—all born in 1942), and he's at it again for what I pray is the last time:
I can't say I'm all that excited. Maybe it's just that I'm in my 50s, and I just don't have enough gland-juice, anymore, to feel greatly excited about anything. Maybe I'm just tired of a franchise that ran its course a long time ago. And from what I've heard,* this new film contains a truckload of woke nonsense as well, just like every other bit of shitty entertainment to issue forth from Hollywood's ass these days.

*The rumor is that the film ends with a young woman becoming "the next Indy." Jesus. That may have changed; I heard that test audiences were howling when they saw the ending—and not howling in a good way. Stop shoving your agenda down our throats, Hollywood.
Definitely the latter. The trailer plays like a very bad cartoon with poorly done cgi of an 80 year old who most of the time can barely walk. It seems that people are forgetting Ford was seriously injured on set and delayed filming for months.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing how he'd broken his leg on set during the filming of "The Force Awakens."
ReplyDeleteWonder what it's like to get in a helicopter with him these days. I imagine he still flies.
It wasn't too long ago that he crashed flying an airplane, so I think I'd pass on flying with him. Tom Cruise is still young enough that I might fly with him though.
