Star Wars 7 shit talk

han is a great character but i'm sure they're going to fuck this up completely

Mostly because Han basically is Harrison Ford.

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.

sounds like the surest thing since those 4 other guys who played Inspector Clouseau.

"Han belongs in a museum!"

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.

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."

he got an Oscar nod for Witness!

More importantly, he's good in it! And "Mosquito Coast," and "Frantic."

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.

Oooh, forgot about him in "Working Girl." I wish he had done more funny supporting character stuff.

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.

He's good in the Frisco Kid IIRC.

He really fell apart after Working Girl (Fugitive excepted).

I love Mosquito Coast. River Phoenix was the best in movies where he had troubled parents.

or was gettin paid for a beej in the first scene.

Or that, yes.

You put the gun down you stupid asshole, Paul, guns down!

Wow, forgot about "The Fugitive." He's great in that.

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.

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+.

'what lies beneath' too...i like that one.

oh man, I LOVED him in What Lies Beneath

what lies beneath is woeful tho

weird to think that it's a zemeckis joint

"everything" in the last Indy was not "terrible." at its best the series is EXCELLENT CRAP.

"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.

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.

Crystal Skull's greatest strength was the foley work. It had the best punching sounds I've ever heard.

i never got this joke tho

this exchange is how indy learns that alisom doody had previously been sleeping w/his dad

I think Adam meant that he didn't get it when younger

Crystal Skull's greatest strength was the foley work. It had the best punching sounds I've ever heard.

They used the finest side of aged kobe beef to get that sound.

a backhanded compliment to Ford if I've ever heard one

Adam is also making a joke about the non-existence of the Crystal Skull?

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.

Paul Dano is...Han Solo

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

We're going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying

drama circa 2016. hyped for the profundity!

hyped for the ultimate motive of the first order being merely "chaos". the first disorder if you will.

It's all adding up. Lindelof will pen the final installment, Rey will be Space Jesus.

Can we just officially make 'Lindelof' a pejorative already? "I hate to say it, Phil, but you really Lindelofed the Jenkins account."

Lindelled off imo

And if you're older, wiser and just stand by and let someone Lindelof can we say you totally Cused out?

Frantic has a solid twenty minutes, the rest is Saturday afternoon fare.

I still read complaints that Ford is shrill in The Mosquito Coast but it works for the character (and, yeah, River Phoenix is beautiful and scary-good).

love Mosquito Coast

Is it just me, or does Adam Driver look a lot like Harpo Marx?
