But it's his charm. It's not all about acting but his natural self which gives him the edge. There's absolutely nobody capable of replacing him as Indiana Jones or Han Solo. Well, you can, but movie would suck a lot. Ford is capable of making a shit movie very enjoyable. I remember hearing how Chris Pratt might be the one replacing him which I just find sad.

Same would go for Anthony Hopkins or Samuel L. Jackson. Most of the time they don't act and their roles are quite similar (especially Jackson), but you can hardly replace them cause they do their job perfectly.
Yeah it's called charisma, and with Ford not the colorful kind like Samuel L Jackson, but understated every day hero kind of appeal. Tho he couldn't escape it because his acting range is kinda limited, while someone like Hopkins could do anything even if he mainly gravitated to the same vein of tad overacting roles.

Ahh, nah Deckard can't have an insignificant cameo hopefully.


Btw oddly good choice with Gosling, he fits the minimalistic style of the and vibe of acting of the first movie.

Imo there's nobody who could better fit the main character for this movie like Gosling. It was the best choice by far. He has that mysterious noir look, if the even makes sense.

Charisma. I wanted to say that :D
Btw they already cast a young Han Solo for athonology project that makes no sense, I'm not sure if they dare to replace him as Indiana Jones tho...



This is the young Han Solo they chose:









While they probably should have taken this guy






who already done a good job of playing young version of Harrison Ford in a same movie as him in Age of adaline, kid is absolute doppelganger lol:

Nah, if you shave that first guy and give him a similar haircut he'll look just as similar.

Anyways, such things should never be given preference to acting capabilities.

True, actually seen the guy they chose in couple projects and he did really well, while the doppelganger only seen in one movie playing his young version. But still, it would be so fitting if they chose him lol.

But Alden Ehrenreich is a far more talented actor, so even if he doesn't look identical to a young Harrison Ford, that's alright.

I know it's not new but have you watched The Lobster? I LOVED IT.
It took me long enough, but I saw it last night. I quite enjoyed it. Creative storytelling and lots of unpredictability. :)

My wife on the other hand? Thought it was yet another one of those bizarro movies I tend to enjoy. (Like how I raved about Under the Skin...)

Happy New Year, Hoori! :party:

The Lobster was really interesting at first, but the magic faded away after they escaped into the forest.

Saw Assassin's Creed today, and thought it was a huge missed opportunity. The action sequences were intense and breathtaking, but almost nothing else was worth it. They wasted talented actors on a hollow story line that could've so much more if they tried a little. I just hope the sequel turns out to be WAY better than this movie, just like the original game and the sequel.

Your wife is right. Both were sh!t.

Watched La La Land, few days ago, I'm not really into musicals, but know it was directed by Damien Chazelle, I had to give it a try. I think it was my favourite movie of the year. The music stays with you for some time.

Just got back from watching La La Land myself. It was beautiful and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I don't know if I'd call it great though.
