I believe Ford really was shot in the head in REGARDING HENRY by YackBacker	Dec 16th, 2008 08:16:39 PM
His career has been mixed-to-poor since that movie. He became an OLD guy overnight. Save for THE FUGITIVE (in which Ford really didn't do that much anyway) the guy has been in a ton of crap movies, in which he has not been that great. And no, he is not Jack Ryan. That was Alec Baldwin's job, but Baldwin had to be a dick and go do a play instead. Assbag.
Less funny ANCHORMAN, or less intelligent BROADCAST NEWS? by MCVamp	Dec 16th, 2008 08:19:55 PM
Why not both? At least Ford's trying something a little different than "average thriller" again.
A project...underrated...WHAT?!?! by CatVutt	Dec 16th, 2008 08:26:09 PM
Regarding Henry was ASS. There's no two ways about it. God, that thing sucks. It sucked then, it sucks now. It's virtually unwatchable. Herc's lost his fucking mind.
I hope he wears Indy 4 old man pants by Heckles	Dec 16th, 2008 08:34:03 PM
Then has a gay son who swings on vines with monkeys.
YackBacker by codymr	Dec 16th, 2008 08:40:40 PM
You summed up my thoughts perfectly... sadly, childhood heroes never survive. I'm guessing that HF may drop out of this anyway... of late he has a habit of committing to a project and then walking away: Syriana, Traffic, The Perfect Storm.
Regarding Henry IS underrated by TiVo1138	Dec 16th, 2008 08:43:41 PM
And Ford's performance, like in many of his flicks, carries the movie. And I don't think that was the point his career started to become a mixed bag. I'd say it was after Air Force One. Ford REALLY needs to reteam with Peter Weir. His two best performances are in Weir flicks, Witness and The Mosquito Coast.
Who's Harrison Ford? by Gilkuliehe	Dec 16th, 2008 08:49:28 PM
I'm confused, Herc... No info about what he's done, is he some sort of actor? So hard without those parenthesis... Ugh, forget it, I'll look it up on my own... I hate it when journalists make things hard for me.

REGARDING HENRY was NOT a good film. by LoneGun	Dec 16th, 2008 09:17:10 PM
Ford plays an ignorant, self-centered jerk who gets shot and wakes up a nice guy, an innocent, who's lost his memory. The transformation is way, WAY too easy, one in which the character doesn't have to atone for his past behavior because he simply doesn't remember it. I suppose, the intentions of the film were good, but the sentiments were cheap. The film was fluff. As for this film, well, I'm always rooting for Ford to have a good one. He's definitely had his run of stinkers. But he is a good actor.
YackBacker, right on the money by Stuntcock Mike	Dec 16th, 2008 09:19:04 PM
He seems to be sleepwalking through everything. Maybe he just doesn't give a shit anymore. Actually, I'm convinced of it.
Dude I liked Regarding Henry....when I was 13!!!! by NoPIX	Dec 16th, 2008 09:22:18 PM
But now...it's loaded with some cliches. And it's just not a realistic portrait of a guy with his condition. But I get why people like it.

I hated Regarding Henry by canopus	Dec 16th, 2008 09:53:48 PM
It's like they tried to make it seem like he, and his family, was better off because he got shot in the head and made mentally challenged. The wife gets a faithful husband, and the kids get the little brother they always wanted, getting shot in the head is great!!!
Hope he uses his whiny Blade Runner voice... by Tin Snoman	Dec 16th, 2008 09:56:22 PM

All this talk of Regarding Henry by StraightToHell	Dec 16th, 2008 10:38:07 PM
And nobody bothers to mention that the guy who shoots Ford in the head in the movie is none other than John Leguizamo! Benny Blanko from the Bronx! And I agree that Ford doesn’t seem to give a shit anymore. Just watched TKOCS again with my folks, and he just has no drive in this movie. At all. Like he’s reading script pages that were just given to him moments before the scene was filmed. Sad. There is such joy in watching his work in the first three Indiana Jones movies. But now the guy just looks bored out of his hind. Working with Peter Weir, or someone of equal stature, seems to be the only way for Ford to go now. The Mosquito Coast is his best performance, really one of the all-time greatest by any actor. He needs a role that he can sink his teeth into. Maybe play completely against character and do a meek little accountant who pines for a girl half-his-age in his office. Something where he can’t just be Harrison Ford and has to act for a change.
Yawn by hallmitchell	Dec 16th, 2008 10:43:35 PM
If you are going to do a story on Anchors. I want an anchorman sequel.

Regarding Henry most OVERATED SAPPY SHIT EVER by quantize	Dec 16th, 2008 11:38:49 PM
Fuck the hell off, I have a very clear memory of the groans from the audience during this film...a melodramatic sappy droll script, shitty direction and acting. What the fuck is this? Some kind of desperate attempt to make night turn in today? Not ALL shitty failed films are forgotten classics..
Harrison has done a lot of great work but by disfigurehead	Dec 17th, 2008 12:46:25 AM
it's time to retire to Montana now. He should take SS and Luca$ with him.
Love that song... by SlackAttack	Dec 17th, 2008 12:49:10 AM
Why did Oasis become so bloated and sucky? Anyone?
uh, because they suck? by the milf lover	Dec 17th, 2008 12:57:50 AM
I know it's not much of an explanation, since I've always hated Oasis. I dont know what it is with these super huge british bands like Oasis, Radiohead and Coldplay, but they're all horrible and overblown. I'll at least grant Radiohead talent and some originality, and they get cool points for Creep and Scott Tenorman Must Die.

There is only one relevant Anchorman... by quintana007	Dec 17th, 2008 02:54:10 AM
...and his name is RON BURGUNDY. McAdams and Ford sounds like Lisa and Grandpa Simpson
Never mention Radiohead and Coldplay by gotilk	Dec 17th, 2008 03:12:49 AM
in the same post again. EVER. I'm not threatening you, the order of the universe is. You have created an imbalance that threatens to collapse so hard on your credibility your internal organs may spontaneously combust and replace themselves with the new WalMart-only AC/DC CD. And I won't even get into what will happen once the whole of all existence realizes you think Creep was a high point.
so, what's the secret that JJ will try to hide in this one? by onezeroone	Dec 17th, 2008 03:23:10 AM

Harrison Ford by CaseyMcCall	Dec 17th, 2008 03:23:26 AM
Legend. And any new project sounds interesting to me. Does this mean 'Crowley' is a no go?
Edit button please? by onezeroone	Dec 17th, 2008 03:25:59 AM
msg got cut before could type it out. So, what will JJ tease us with in this one? what will the viral campaign be about? cmon, you know he can't make a movie without "oohh look at me, I have a mysterious secret which no one can be told but is only an excuse to hype you up to see the movie which will be shit anyway" shit?
Radiohead by kwisatzhaderach	Dec 17th, 2008 03:39:09 AM
are a great band. Oasis and Coldplay are not.
Kelsey Grammer did this as a t.v. show. by Bob Cryptonight	Dec 17th, 2008 04:08:45 AM

I would! The last one was stupid, but so what? It was fun. The fun was dripping off the screen.

Harrison's best performance? by Thrillho77	Dec 17th, 2008 06:43:07 AM
"Whaaat up, BIOTCH?!?!? ....Get in the baaaack!" If you don't recognize this, then you have not seen the greatest line reading ever.
Honk if you're fucking Ben Affleck! by Thrillho77	Dec 17th, 2008 06:44:04 AM
It's a shame that, since The Fugitive, I'd rather watch random Ford clips on You Tube than his actual work in, you know, films.
Yeah, Milf Lover... by abiggerboat	Dec 17th, 2008 06:55:26 AM
Because American bands are so much better than British bands. History definately (maybe) proves that! Oh wait, hold on...
Harrison Ford went full retard in Regarding Henry by SomaShine	Dec 17th, 2008 06:56:18 AM

Love scene between Harrison and Rachael. by mrfan	Dec 17th, 2008 07:41:57 AM
Yeah. I bet that made some of you throw up a little.
Harrison Ford's Role by Seth_Brundle	Dec 17th, 2008 07:44:22 AM
Harrison Ford would be reporting the "Special" Reports, and keeps getting picked on for fumbling on the teleprompter.
Thrillho77 by Flyingcircus	Dec 17th, 2008 07:48:19 AM
Fuckin A. I thought I was the only one who obsessed over how hilarious that was. Good old Jethro!
about two years Harrison Ford was on conan o brien... by emeraldboy	Dec 17th, 2008 08:10:28 AM
promoting Firewall. and you would not believe this but Conan O brien pulled out a clip of....The Star Wars Christmas Holiday special. Ford hadnt seen this in 30 years and put his hands over his face and took the demeanour of please god make it stop. Ford is a pro and got back his composure and went on to promote Firewall.
Fail already, enough of ladies in charge shite. by Damien Chowder	Dec 17th, 2008 08:30:07 AM
Just about everything on tv has a women in charge. Sick of it! Look at the real world you shmucks, it's not like that! Stop it!! Also how old is McAdams?! Whats with this "16 year old in charge" bollox that has invaded tv for the last 10 years! Producers and Doctors and shite are not thrust into high positions fresh outta college!! Shit! Doogie Howser was an exception! I'm not an ageist or sexist guy but sometimes things like this make me wanna double punch granma.
Oasis! by LivesWithinLaws	Dec 17th, 2008 08:43:36 AM
Going to see Oasis tonight at MSG!
Oh, is it cool to talk shit on Ford now? by TheLastCleric	Dec 17th, 2008 08:54:29 AM
His last ten years have been soft in terms of projects but he's still an icon and his past works are pretty much unmatched. Ford may be an "old man" but he's in seriously great shape and still has plenty left to contribute. He's also made some incredibly underrated movies in the last few years, like Devil's Own and K9. All actors have their high and low moments so if you're going to blast him you might as well include Eastwood and Connery in the mix as well. Personally, I don't see the point given all the great work Ford's done but whatever. And I think he was the best Jack Ryan by far.
Morning Glory? Afternoon Delight. by Squashua	Dec 17th, 2008 10:06:56 AM
Evening Repast?
Oh great... by Kid Z	Dec 17th, 2008 11:54:59 AM
... another terrible chikflik w/ a title stolen from an Oasis song. Just what we all need. Will Ol' Man Jenkins (nee Harrison Ford) be the romantic lead opposite (40 years younger than him) Rachel Mc Adams? Great... just great... another reason to quickly go out for a few beers w/ your crew as soon as the gf starts talking about wanting to see a movie.
kwisatzhaderach... by Kid Z	Dec 17th, 2008 11:59:14 AM
...Radiohead is indeed a great band... but, for entirely different reasons, so is Oasis. Coldplay, though, suck @$$! Oh... and Blur rules!
Indy 5... by Kid Z	Dec 17th, 2008 12:10:13 PM
... Al Qaeda steals Alladin's lamp, Indy called out of retirement again. He's in his 90's now, so Shia's along for the ride, becoming enmeshed in an elaborate fight scene in which he fights suicide bombers whilst jumping from bad CGI-camel to bad CGI-camel during a stampede. Finally the movie reaches its denoument when all concerned find the lost cave of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. Osama bin Laden rubs the Lamp, Indy, Shia and Karen Allen run (well, Indy kind of just walks fast now) through the suddenly crumbling cave while the Genie of the Lamp emerges and melts Osama's head off (it's an Indy movie... the bad guy always has to have his or her head melted off at the end). Indy and Karen Allen celebrate the birth of their grandson, sired by Shia and his beard through in-vitro fertilization.
Harrison Ford is a dick by Reckoner	Dec 17th, 2008 03:29:53 PM
I don't like him anymore. And the idea of him in a comedy is not a good idea.
Coldplay doesn't deserve to smell Oasis's shit. by MSA13	Dec 17th, 2008 04:28:49 PM
But Radiohead can if they want.
You can't deny that Oasis were great back in the day by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 17th, 2008 05:58:30 PM
Their first two albums were amazing. "Wonderwall" pretty much defines the 90's for any Brit. They suck now though. My God, do they suck now.
Indiana Jones & The Lamp Of Alladin.. by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 17th, 2008 06:00:21 PM
..will be fucking your eyes (and your childhood) in 2012. You better believe!
Wonderwall was horrid shit by the milf lover	Dec 17th, 2008 10:46:16 PM
just like everything else Oasis has ever churned out. Wonderwall sounds like Gallagher wrote it after sitting drunk on the toilet, constipated for 40 hours straight until he had a huge steamy liquid diarrhea. Radiohead's singer was the most whiny sounding little bitch in music until James Blunt and Akon came along. Karma Police, gimme a fucking break, you dipshit. Oh and good job making people hate overrated British singers with Amy Winehouse. But I do like some british music like The Beatles, CeDigest and Muse. I just happen to not like shitty music.
thing about ford is... by cloudrider`	Dec 17th, 2008 10:56:34 PM
there are actors who just want to be grow and be great actors. and then there are actors who just want to be a moviestar. pacino, deniro, sean penn, ed norton, kidman, blanchett, theron, brad pitt even, these guys belong in the former group. ford belong in the later, along with the governator, bruce willis, cruise, travolta, etc. you can judge it from the kinds of films they make. one group deserves respects, the other deserves my poop.
I WAS AFRAID IT WAS A ROMANCE by Mullah Omar	Dec 17th, 2008 11:43:44 PM
...between Ford and McAdams. Not buying into the 50-year differentials I see in some films. Then again, I may reconsider when I'm 70.
INDIANA JONES AND THE LAMP OF ALADDIN by Mullah Omar	Dec 17th, 2008 11:53:00 PM
Sign me up for that piece of shit! If they're going to fuck up the series (which they did), they may as well go full-blown campy cheese. Bring on Osama! Nonagenarian fist-fights! Shit, bring on Zombie Saddam!
Amy Winehouse by abiggerboat	Dec 18th, 2008 02:55:32 AM
...is shit, I couldn't agree more. You sir, are a prick though, I'm afraid to have to tell you. Cheque please!
Sounds fucking great. by MMacKK	Dec 18th, 2008 07:02:38 PM
Bout time he did something smart.
