For the love of God please stop making poor old Harrison Ford pretend to be a 40 year old treasure hunter.
Nobody wants to watch "Indiana Jones and the Non ADA Compliant Ramp Outside the Post Office"
I still don't understand why Indiana Jones wasn't made into a sort of James Bond legacy character
Like the movies are my problematic favs - yes, I know they're steeped in racism but also it's fun to see Nazis get decked and all - but there's something depressing about the latest movie being mostly about Jones being old, decrepit, and cranky. It loses a lot of its charm that way
Its so much harder to ignore the problems with the treats with you back smh. (<3 missed you)
Especially considering he literally has a young protege in a bunch of the movies, the passing of the torch writes itself.
Unless they're just really committing to the bit and soon they're gonna have a movie where Ford is the ancient mcguffin a new younger adventurer has to find a "rescue"/steal.
Lmao, Shia LeBeouf got
'd so hard
Just looked it up and he has a recent lawsuit for SA shit from FKA Twigs, so fuck him and I'm retroactively glad he's washed up
i'm 90% certain that was the idea with Crystal Skull & Shia leboufe but i think it disappointed money-wise and Shia became less of a rising star and more of a liability for the studios
There are books upon books of Young Indiana Jones and also some solid Indiana Jones games that could get the screen treatment. They're RIGHT FUCKING THERE USE THOSE
Indiana Jones and the Home of Retirement
Somehow the idea that Indiana Jones is a character and not Punch People Action Guy and he must be played by Harrison Ford is so absurd. He is a hat, a jacket, a whip, exciting danger and punching. Harrison Ford wasn't even the first guy to play Indiana Jones from a thematic standpoint. They were ripping off old adventure serials which starred that exact archetype.
The racism and misogyny are fucking hard to sit through as an adult, i rewatched the first one recently ang omg. The love subplot is Indi slept with a 16 year old and she falls in love with him.
Made doubly worse that the latest two movies involve that being a fond relationship that he pines over, which is fucking gross
They're Not Great, that's for sure
Everybody always forgets you need the donkey dick past the last step at the top and bottom.
just reading that in my inbox forgetting the context was a fucking trip
That's what I'm here for.
