We need a Han Solo v. Indiana Jones poll

http://laurabush.info/archives/winter05/forddrunk.jpg

i say han solo because i like his outfit, it is v intersting

Patriot Games

I thought this one was going to be really hard but then I looked very closely at the options and I voted with my heart.

I remember really enjoying Mosquito Coast, it's like for the requisite hollywood actor trope of playing someone mentally challenged, Ford chose to play a manipulative genius bipolar aspie adventurer.

ICE IS CIVILIZATION.

guys i am actually having a v difficult time with this

I kneejerked and went Raiders because he is so fucking hot in the first part when he is just being all professor-y.

I will rep for The Fugitive.

I kneejerked and went "Star Wars Xmas Special" because I temporarily lost my mind.

I THINK I'M GOING TO GO WITH WITNESS BUT THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL, BLADE RUNNER, THE CONVERSATION, RAIDERS, ESB AND EVEN YOU, WORKING GIRL, YOU ARE ALL SPECIAL TO ME TOO.

the star wars holiday special is amazing

you forgot all his cheese booze titties movies

Yes, but I should have voted "Raiders" considering that was the movie that made me want to be an actor. ;_;

oh wait holy shit you didn't

tom, read the options closely

wait ok

i have to say i thought you made up the jethro the bus driver thing. did you read the link i put up???

so hot

i refuse to choose

I am still laughing at "what up biotch"

I had to go for the neutral option

I don't know what cheddar beer boobs are but I'm voting for those

well, hello!

Why's he holding the new wilco lp?

I AM DOWNLOADING THIS THING NOW

I think that's "Music for Airports," actually.

Is he wearing an earring in each ear nowadays? That's fairly tragic for a man his age.

EMPIRE DUUHHHHH

wo ist mcbeal, ally?

i is indecided

Graffiti v Fugitive Witness?!

I voted Blade Runner but maybe I should've voted Frantic.

The Fugitive cos he's all sad about his wife n stuff and the police aren't very nice to him.

and it's one hell of an action movie. Without one-liners.

it's ok. he's really good in the scenes in the hospital.

Mosquito Coast.

fuck you

was the fugitive the last ok thing he did?

the fugitive is not okay, it has Tommy Lee Jones in it.

He likes outhouses and henhouses.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

watch 6 Days 7 Nights again, this time you will like it.

I beg to differ. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

well, it's shorter than the title implies

that's one at least

perception is reality

does mosquito coast have the best beard?

Bob Solo

The Fugitive by a landslide imo.

Westside realty

i know the other poll already took care of this, but its really unfair to split up the iniana jones/han solo performances.

i voted empire bc he is the most sassy in it.

Indy doesn't like fast women. :(

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Harrison Ford is concerned about his wife and family

i just came here to post that, ya bastid!

Can't believe no one voted for Frantic!

^i literally just thought the same thing re: frantic

Random Hearts apparently didn't even make the list.

Dude walked into my gallery five minutes ago. I looked up from browsing the boards and he's looking at a painting two feet from the front door. So I give him a half-assed wave and the kind of confused look I'm sure he gets all the time and he shoots me back that gruff "hey" he always gives in the movies. He took off right after that.

laff it up, Fuzzball

write-in vote for "I already work around the clock!"

laff it up, Fuzzball

!!!

I must be brain-dead, because there was some basic stuff I didn't get in the quite pointless Random Hearts. Why is Ford so obsessed with knowing every last detail about his wife? What happened with Bonnie Hunt near the end? What is the Dennis Haysbert story about? I've only seen a few Harrison Ford films past Apocalypse Now. But enough to know that Harrison Ford Looking Grim is a genre I should avoid.

It's short, but two choice quotes:

Between Ender's Game and the Hunger Games franchise, why do you think we're so entertained by kids killing one another?
[long pause] Beats the shit out of me. Ender's Game is a very different kind of movie and a very different kind of warfare.

Is there a trick to making seemingly ridiculous dialogue like “When the aliens first invaded...” work?
Yeah. That's my job. That's why I get paid.

'critically injured' in a plane crash

http://variety.com/2015/biz/news/harrison-ford-plane-crash-1201447290/

Didn't check for snakes in the cockpit before takeoff

Unnecessary use of "critical" it would seem

RIP

can this clown not stop hurting himself on imaginary flying vehicles?

yeah sheesh

Tom is twice the man of Par33ne or am I wrong?

takes some obscure shitposter to speak the trith amirite

Was thinking about Harrison Ford when we were watching "The Last Crusade." The guy (especially for his first 20 years of work) was handsome, charismatic, had great comic timing, great chemistry with his actors, solid dramatic acting chops, could play charming really well, was a box office draw, and yet with very few exceptions (like the misbegotten Sabrina remake or maybe Six Days, Seven Nights, both flops) was never really cast in traditional romantic leading man roles. Just action roles or loner-dramas like in Witness, Mosquito Coast, Blade Runner, Presumed Innocent, et al. That seems unusual, doesn't it?

Working Girl is pretty trad leading man, but I do agree that post-Raiders til that point he picks some pretty unusual projects. After Working Girl, it's mostly actioneers or thrillers and he's pretty much type-cast as Harrison Ford.

I think there's something about his habitus that makes him better suited for drama or action than for romance. Some kind of undecidedness, a perpetual sense of ennui that would make it somehow feel disappointing for the climax to be him settling down. I mean, even in Frantic, where he (SPOILERS!) ultimately ends up with the "safe" choice, his wife, and the person representing the dangerous life he'd become mixed with, the French woman, gets killed, the ending feels somehow wrong... Like he should've chosen the other woman and the other life, and killing her is just a convenient way to avert him facing that choice.

Though of course this reading is probably informed by all those loner-dramas, and in an alternate universe where he chose a more romantic career I might be feeling differently.

Yeah I think he could have done both (Cary Grant seems like he's sort of the template here, although Ford made some way odder choices).

After Working Girl, it's mostly actioneers or thrillers and he's pretty much type-cast as Harrison Ford.

My Harrison Ford theory is that he tried hard up till Mosquito Coast, but when he didn't win anything for that, he just gave up.

he should have retired after the fugitive tbh

Even working girl, he is kind of a supporting comedic role.

Dude needs to chill with the flying

Did this at OC's airport, I see. (Minor trivia: it was a Clear and Present Danger filming location.)

If you've been subjected to the Call of the Wild trailer, I had no idea that Jack London's hero is supposed to be 400 years old.

Who was deeper into the CGI uncanny valley--Ford or the dog?

dog seemed obvious, I couldn't recognize any modification in HF
