Why did they have to give him this trendy for five minutes broccoli cut? Ten years from now it's gonna look daft. There are tons of photos of this actor with the classic Don Draper style and he looks far more like Superman in other stuff than he does in actual Superman 🤦🏻‍♂️

It was full of hidden steels wasn't it. Obviously. They did a flawless job of making it look dangerous asf.

One of the best sequences ever. Actually I think this can be this weekend's movie with my lad. We've finished the Aliens and Predator run now, all five movies.

I'm watching it. I probably find it much more acceptable there as it sort of acts as holiday destination promo material, all very glossy and fancy. But in fantasy and sci-fi stuff it just makes me question absolutely everything I'm looking at. When I want to cleanse myself of this feeling thank god I can just stick Friedkin's Sorcerer on.

I remember being ripped out of my hype by the early shots in Crystal Skull between Ford and Blanchett at the airbase. And apparently that was a genuine dusk exterior shot - yet they somehow made it look fake asf. Andor season 2 is also (I'm guessing) a huge offender. Every single shot I'm sat here thinking, are they even stood there? At the very least, they should call this DoF & Chromatic Aberration: The TV Show. They're hiding the seams, badly. I'm telling you it's all digital's fault.

I just hate how sterile and simulated these modern movies look now. Instantly puts me off. There's no immersion; I'm constantly wondering if the actors are even standing outside during what is supposed to be an exterior shot and everything looks digital and manipulated by some effects guy right down to the most mundane element.

I find it's always better when people don't really know if someone's joking or not.

No hidden disclaimer necessary!

Back in a day there would have been an annoying posters ranking thread about it and it would have been another fun one, but everyone's very nice here now.

There are no annoying characters in Jaws. They're all essential.

Heh, love it. He sounds more like usual self narrating this antwacky stunts documentary:

As usual, Jurassic Park chats shite. I know it's a given on the interwebs to repeat ad infinitum that Selleck might have been fine or even equally"as good" in the role, and visually, sure, he could look the part. But don't we realise that appearance is only part of the formula? I think the half-fans that push the Selleck alternative always overlook a core difference between him and Ford: their voice, their way of speaking. Selleck is quite pitchy, there's even a slight whine in his speaking tone. He always talks like he's moaning about stuff. I believe the actor has even made fun of his own voice in the past, something to do with his Vic Virile impression. Ford however really has a uniquely deep and masculine quality in his vocal cords, there is a crucial throaty gruff that is a natural charismatic advantage of Ford's delivery, and I don't think this is fully understood or appreciated just how much it lends to the overall magnetism of Indiana Jones. It is this component of his presentation which imbues a strong air of authority and authenticity into the role, which is crucial to the near mystical allure of his Indiana Jones character. Ford is gruff and dry, he's no nonsense. He doesn't whine, ever. Moreover, nobody grins through gritted teeth after taking a smack quite like Ford does. That is Indy. Essentially, Selleck would have been a completely different portrayal, and arguably nowhere near as memorable. Tom simply never had what it takes to singlehandedly define a whole era of cinematic action adventure.

The newer games are so dreary.

Fuckin lol
