2012-04-16 12:21:14 PM
Wait... don't forget Mark Hamill's brilliant turn in the movie 'Slipstream'! I think his on-screen career was probably doomed because he got typecast as Luke. I mean, if you're going to be typecast, would you rather be the cool, daring rogue, or the whiny farmboy who gets a lucky shot?

Harrison Ford has been an old-school movie star since Indiana Jones. He plays Harrison Ford in every part he gets. So far, it's worked, so I'm not going to complain.

Hamill also has short-term memory issues based on the car accident he was in back in '77. It's one of the big reasons we went back to focusing his efforts on voice over work (much easier for him). It's more than paid off for him compared to the majority of the cast of those movies (with the exception of Harrison Ford, Ihe might have earned more as an actor than any of the other cast... including JEJ).

Regardless, good joke by subby.

Are those interior pictures depicting how Mr. Ford has actually furnished his house?? (I mean, they could be props just for the shoot.) Because to me that just doesn't look like the way Harrison Ford would furnish a house. Nothing to make you go, Whoa, coool!
As someone noted, too much white, e.g., white dining room chairs mess up that space, I believe.

Outdoors, however, the pool and the views are quite nice.

He did a pretty good "seriously eccentric closeted gay nerd" in "Comic Book the movie". Not creepy so much as painfully awkward. That movie was sort of his pinnacle of self-indulgence but I thought it was a lot of fun.

Mugato: I'm obviously a huge Star Wars fan and huge Indiana Jones fan but I can't help but think if Tom Selleck would have been able to get out of his Magnum PI contract and do Raiders, there wouldn't be that big of a difference between Ford and Hamill's careers.

the franchise would (possibly) still be happening as Tom Selleck doesn't look as "old bag of shiat" as Ford does. (but thats a "what if fangasm" statement..which i normally despise...but in this case it's relevant.)

Selleck aged well, Ford didn't and Ford can't act.

Indiana Jones: Han Solo in the 30's. not a big stretch.

Mosquito Coast. great film. Decent acting on Ford's part.

Witness? great film. Decent acting on Ford's part.

Blade Runner? great film. Decent acting on Ford's part.

everything else:
Grumpy Old Man one note garbage : "get off my plane, leave my family alone" .

Dunno that not doing Raiders would have precluded his superstardom. Han Solo/Star Wars kinda set that path in stone, Raiders obviously added gasoline to that fire, but there were going to be more SW flicks so...lotta "What if's" in there...

I agree tho, Selleck would have been fine as Jones.

It's a goddamn shame he's retiring from voicing The Joker. Of course he may change his mind some day. He originally said Arkham Asylum was his last time doing the voice, but he came back for Arkham City.
