Finn said:Funny how the Internet allows us to study the slightest minutiae in a man's reaction and draw incredibly far-reaching conclusions. Didn't think that was possible.
Wait. It usually isn't. Yet...
TheFedora said:More and more this board is starting to remind me of how some Jurassic Park message boards were when Jurassic World was in this early stages of rumor. I understand, people who don't have much news will reach, but I believe that the comments I made regarding Pratt's were meant to be humorous and not taken seriously.
Finn said:So props for following the proper scientific procedure there, I guess. Because that's pretty much all you can draw from said clip.
Don't I know that. It's perhaps one reason I feel such a strong sense of loyalty towards TR.N. While it can get a little silly around here as well, at times, in this little corner of the web I can, if not supress, at least control said silliness.Pale Horse said:In the quest for revenue generating clicks, everyone is a mercenary, and a grave robber.
I was going to defend TMZ then remembered they acquired some of Spielberg's stolen Indy 4 documents in 2007 but were stopped by Paramount from reporting too much. Unfortunately there are a few clowns, fewer investigative journalists, and the rest cut and paste. At least TMZ posted raw video, while none bothered to upload or transcribe the Hasty Pudding presser in which Pratt spoke at length about Chris Evans' charity. That's the irony here, the paparazzi are the only ones getting out of the way of a story.Finn said:those clowns practically dissected a 45-second YouTube clip
Cool Video, Thanks for posting but, how much cooler would It have been with John Williams booming Soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kongisking said:Lest anyone think I've forgotten just how awesome Harrison Ford's run as Indy was, here's something to show my appreciation for that era. I'm very proud of this one, hope you all like it. And shout-out to my mate Henry Junior for the beautiful logo at the end! If he's still around these parts...

Silvor said:Why on earth recast the role when Ford is still willing and able to play Indy again?
I think you meant to say "I" instead of "we" right there.indytim said:Because he's a 72 year old man. I love Harrison Ford. I love Indiana Jones. But Ford is now simply too old to play the character as we wish to see him.
Silvor said:Unless somebody made you the spokesperson for the entire world wide audience for Indiana Jones while I wasn't looking.

They will want someone young enough to carry this franchise forwards for at least 10 years, getting three or four films out of him in the process. Disney aren't doing this for artistic reasons or fan service. They're doing it first and foremost to make money because the Disney shareholders demand to see a long term return on their investment. The 'Ford Purists' can stamp their feet all they want but I can assure you it is simply not happening. Harrison will have no more than a cameo in the next film.
Things that do not evolve die. That's just a fact of life. This franchise will do exactly that with a new actor in the role of Indy. Just like with James Bond. Just like with Batman. If not, they'll be no new movies and we'll be left watching reruns, wondering what could have been.

Guess you know Bob Iger personally or maybe Alan Horn as they relaunched the $4b Star Wars franchise with the same 72 year old in the lead partindytim said:I lost nothing today.

Pale Horse said:...supporting. Supporting Part.
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are the leads. The rest are supporting characters.
Too tired to link the supporting evidence, but it's out there.
