Good lord is that going to be bad.

I bet that third shot was an ordeal. "Wait - both knees?"

I think he looks hot.

He's 65, at that age Mr. Kibbles is expected to still be hanging off the sides of buildings. There are coworkers of his doing that as I type this. My FIL runs marathons, rock climbs and just got his 5th degree (a PhD, this time). And before anyone says well that's not Indiana Jones, remember, even earlier on, could everyone his age (age of first movie) hack that shit? Ha. Not with the human puddings we have on this planet.

America is graying but not necessarily slowing down.

Sure, in movie make up and with the proper lighting he looks good for his age. Ever seen the guy in person? not so pretty.

Also, I think it's not that he doesn't handle his age well, it's that he just isn't indiana jones aged any more. He kind of looks silly and unless there are some great gags in the movie about him throwing his back out, I'm not sure I'll buy it. Especially not in the time period.

Yep. Seen pictures, still looks good to me.

I'm fine with it. He's not dead, I can see people that age being active, don't see a problem.

Maybe if I were younger I'd feel that way.

Good lord, he's 65?! I have to agree, he's looking good, could have passed for 50-ish, hardly "elderly."

While I love William Shatner's current persona, and I do find the forced, ersatz youthfulness of *some* older people to be tiring, I agree with you here.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not a huge fan of Shatner, don't know why. And I know what you mean about forced youthfulness, it bugs me sometimes, can't think of one now.

But Harrison Ford gives off the aura of an active man (could be because he is). Ok, he crashed a helicopter in 99 but at least he was piloting it!


P.S. I bet Calista Flockhart keeps him young. :P

Definitely agree, he is teh sex in those photos.

Aww, the images have been replaced with this:

Ah, merci!

He looks older, that's for sure, but Indy is still Indy. :)

I had a dream of an alternate universe where Mark Hamill was "The Guy" and Harrison Ford ended up doing cons and bit parts for the rest of his life...it was oddly satisfying.

(Reply) (Thread)

I'd like that universe, except that I don't think Harrison could ever do a decent Joker laugh.

They've removed the photos. :-/

Maybe I'm looking through fangirl-colored glasses, but I don't think he looks all that bad for his age....

(Reply) (Thread)

For his age, no. But he doesn't seem to grok that with age comes a slightly different way of presenting yourself.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Naw. I still think he's cute in the fedora.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Maybe it's an 'over 40 fangirl' thing but I'm 100% with you on this.

Personally, I envy Callista, and she's younger than I am! :)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

i don't find Callista attractive in any way, but I am pleased by their relationship - he's taking better care of himself these days!

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Again - right with you on this one... She doesn't do it for me, he does.
I just realized that what I said might be misconstrued as saying I wanted to look like her - but she's not my cup of tea. Anorexic and waiflike doesn't turn my crank at all.

Women should have curves!! :)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, I didn't think that at all, just commenting.

Yes, women need curves.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm under forty and I think he's looking damn fine. He's aged very well. But Harrison Ford was my very first crush so maybe I'm biased! ;)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

There's always exceptions... good taste is ageless! :)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Why can't you transition?
Because he's following Sean Connery's example, perhaps?

Never say never again!

harrison ford is fine as the elder indiana jones, this movie will be great.

But . . . harrison ford as computar haxor in firewall is absolutely unbelievable. I mean, someone his age, his training was IBM's and punch cards, now sure some of the old folks stayed on top of it, going to training, and stuff, but there's no evidence in the movie and it seems quite clear that technology perplexes harrison ford, as an actor and a human being. he's the guy that has trouble figuring out why his clock is blinking 12:00.

too old, miscast, poorly acted, completely unbelievable. Why did he take that role? How broke is he?

An older indiana jones is totally believable. You know your older uncles and aunts, they wear the same clothes they wore when they were in high school . . back in 1959. Grandpa Indiana Jones would totally still be wearing that floppy hat. Do you imagine him in a tree piece suit? Grandpa pants pulled up to his nipple and suspenders?

Why did he do firewall . . . that's the real question.

(Reply) (Thread)

I was about to make the same comment about senior Indiana Jones. Folks I know in the 65-90 range tend to wear what they wore all along. Maybe not back in high school, but certainly whatever they found comfortable/functional as younger adults. Shit, I'm almost 50 and wear the same style I settled on in my early 20s.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Bah don't get me started on Shatner. He's constantly been whinging they asked Nimoy to be in the film and not him. When he's not carrying on about it, he's writing his version of how Kirk and Spock met....

I couldn't have said this better myself.

Hubby and I just saw a preview for Stallone in the new Rambo flick, and were pretty much thinking the same thing about him.

(Reply) (Thread)

When I first heard that Lucas and Spielberg were getting together to do Indy IV, I thought no good can come of this. The more I hear about the film, the more strongly I feel that no good can come of this.

Indy IV has the potential of making Indy II seem like Citizen Freakin' Kane.

I think he would have looked a little better in the pictures if he was wearing clothes that actually fit him.

(Reply) (Thread)

Oh, Lord. Thank you for sending this out to the ether... Hopefully it will be heard...

(Reply) (Thread)

Well, ole Bill had his awkward moments of transition. Witness Star Trek V. (Well, maybe witness is the wrong word. I don't want to encourage anyone to look at that one.)

(Reply) (Thread)

Oh, quit fussing. He's perfect for the part. Didn't you know that the actual title of the next Indy flick is "Indiana Jones and the Rolling Rebellion," in which Indy has inherited Roosevelt's second best wheelchair, and Salah pushes him around in it on the trail of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?

(Reply) (Thread)

As much as I love HF, I joked a little while back that they should title this movie "Raiders of the Lost AARP."

*snorts her water*

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Dunno that I agree with you on this... I think Harrison looks hot still... Just as I thought Bruce Willis looked fab in the most recent Die Hard.

(Reply) (Thread)

His body is still rocking but his face in that hat makes me cringe. :(

(Reply) (Thread)

I am untroubled by this.

I also second that while I think Shatner is great, he has been throwing a tantrum about not being in the new Trek.

(Reply) (Thread)

Since none of the other Indy movies was played completely (or even remotely) straight, I think we can safely assume that the film will not take itself or Harrison's physical capabilities too seriously. Hell, Indy spent most of the first three movies getting beaten down, knocked out, tied up, and generally surviving (much less prevailing) only because of a bit of cleverness and a bundle of determination. I'm sure there will be a stunt or twelve in #4, but tongue will remain firmly in cheek.

(Reply) (Thread)

Harrison Ford was, is and always WILL be sexy. The same cannot be said for Shatner or Clint. At least not from THESE lips.

I can't wait for Indy to return.

You think that is bad, wait until this comes out:

(Reply) (Thread)

My problem with that second picture isn't so much his age as much as it's the fact that he has that angry scowl on his face but his outfit's still in pristine condition. Indy should never really get mad until he at least has some prominent sweat stains on his shirt, even if it is still in mostly one piece.

Really the outfit looks way too new in all those pictures, except maybe the last one. I really hope those were just publicity stills and the clothes he wears in the movie will be more "broken in."
