xpost!!!
that would be great - even less competent, cocksure smugglers hoping that by propping up carbonite han in badly-lit rooms they, too, can talk their way out of sticky situations, evade their creditors, and save the orphanage.

so basically the Blues Brothers.

would watch, but only if our leads are actually the Max Rebo Band
― Doctor Casino, important war pigeon (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 17:34 (nine years ago)
The short story about the OG cantina band was a wacky caper IIRC, so not without precedent.
― Reckless Recluse (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 17:35 (nine years ago)
han is a great character but i'm sure they're going to fuck this up completely
― nomar, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 17:38 (nine years ago)
Mostly because Han basically is Harrison Ford.
― Reckless Recluse (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 17:42 (nine years ago)
hmmm, reminds me of the sad attempt to build up indy's kid as a possible successor in 'crystal skull.' wait that's it, they should get shia labeouf

In the same way that Indiana Jones wouldn't have been as successful or had the same resonance with Tom Selleck in the role, it's fair to say that Ford is largely responsible for the popularity of Han Solo. To the extent of being arguably the most irreplaceable member of the original cast (aside from maybe James Earl Jones's vo). So, yeah, a young Han Solo film feels a bit like a fool's errand.
― Reckless Recluse (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:10 (nine years ago)
sounds like the surest thing since those 4 other guys who played Inspector Clouseau.

It's weird to think that there was a time where Harrison Ford was just a working stiff actor doing bit parts in Coppola movies and not embodying this incredibly iconic characters.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:17 (nine years ago)
It's weirder to think of some other great Harrison Ford roles that no one thinks of. Like "The Mosquito Coast" or "Witness." Or "Frantic."
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:19 (nine years ago)
he got an Oscar nod for Witness!
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:26 (nine years ago)
More importantly, he's good in it! And "Mosquito Coast," and "Frantic."
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:30 (nine years ago)
Witness was his breakout from the genre box; his other straight romantic dramas before it tanked.
Was the next one Working Girl? did Frantic succeed at the b.o.? i know Mosquito died.
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:30 (nine years ago)
Oooh, forgot about him in "Working Girl." I wish he had done more funny supporting character stuff.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:31 (nine years ago)
i remember admiring Mosquito Coast while noting he'd been a li'l nicied up from the Theroux novel, and that River Phoernix was already a better actor. Never saw the Polanski.
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:32 (nine years ago)
He's good in the Frisco Kid IIRC.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:33 (nine years ago)
He really fell apart after Working Girl (Fugitive excepted).
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:35 (nine years ago)
I love Mosquito Coast. River Phoenix was the best in movies where he had troubled parents.
― Reckless Recluse (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:35 (nine years ago)
or was gettin paid for a beej in the first scene.
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:36 (nine years ago)
Or that, yes.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:44 (nine years ago)
Wow, forgot about "The Fugitive." He's great in that.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:45 (nine years ago)
i actually thought ford was good in the last indiana jones movie, it's everything around him that was terrible.
also K-19 is a super effective and kind of weird and totally depressing movie and spotty accent aside Ford is great.
― nomar, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:47 (nine years ago)
clear and present danger is great too! he's got that 'how dare you sir!' scene which is sort of the apex of latter day ford shouting at people moments. and the action scenes in it are A+.
― nomar, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:49 (nine years ago)
'what lies beneath' too...i like that one.
oh man, I LOVED him in What Lies Beneath
― Very selfish, and very ironic (DJP), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:50 (nine years ago)
what lies beneath is woeful tho
― Cuombas (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:52 (nine years ago)
weird to think that it's a zemeckis joint
― Cuombas (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:53 (nine years ago)
"everything" in the last Indy was not "terrible." at its best the series is EXCELLENT CRAP.
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 19:10 (nine years ago)
"Should've mailed it to the Marx. Bros.""Nazis, I hate these guys."
for me it's a classic big budget b-movie. so many great lines in it.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 19:12 (nine years ago)
Indiana Jones: [of Indy's new lover] How did you know she was a Nazi?Professor Henry Jones: She talks in her sleep.
i never got this joke tho
raiders is a classic movie, temple of doom and last crusade are not at that level but are excellent in their own right. crystal skull might as well have been made by len wiseman.
― nomar, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 19:15 (nine years ago)
Crystal Skull's greatest strength was the foley work. It had the best punching sounds I've ever heard.
― a silly gif of awkward larping (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:08 (nine years ago)
this exchange is how indy learns that alisom doody had previously been sleeping w/his dad
― Less surprised by the total lack of surprises (stevie), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:29 (nine years ago)
I think Adam meant that he didn't get it when younger
― Sorkinspeak coaxed out Oscar begging near the tabs of Link Wray (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:35 (nine years ago)
They used the finest side of aged kobe beef to get that sound.
― Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:41 (nine years ago)
a backhanded compliment to Ford if I've ever heard one
― a silly gif of awkward larping (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:44 (nine years ago)
Adam is also making a joke about the non-existence of the Crystal Skull?
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:56 (nine years ago)
lol oh yes i forgot about Crystal Skull. was that Snoke at the end of that? pretty cool of them to tease the new Star Wars villain that early.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 21:29 (nine years ago)
Paul Dano is...Han Solo
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 22:19 (nine years ago)
So this was better than I thought possible. Cool.

Colin Trevorrow:
"We're going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying," Trevorrow said. "Rey is a character that is important in this universe, not just in the context of The Force Awakens, but in the entire galaxy. She deserves it. We'll make sure that that answer is something that feels like it was something that happened a long time ago, far away, and we're just telling you what happened."
enjoy it while it lasts I guess
― Number None, Thursday, 14 January 2016 19:28 (nine years ago)
We're going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying
drama circa 2016. hyped for the profundity!
― denies the existence of dark matter (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 14 January 2016 19:31 (nine years ago)
hyped for the ultimate motive of the first order being merely "chaos". the first disorder if you will.
― nomar, Thursday, 14 January 2016 19:33 (nine years ago)
It's all adding up. Lindelof will pen the final installment, Rey will be Space Jesus.
