How cool is Indy? [10 vote(s)]

Amazingly cool. I want to be him. He is surpassed only by Han Solo for sheer cool-ocity.

Meh. Don't really care either way. Nice whip, though.

Not only is Indy a load of old cobblers, but he is also tosh, tripe and codswallop.

Indy


Just need to clear something up!


Someone (who shall remain nameless) told me this evening that Indiana Jones was a load of old cobblers.  He or she was watching Indy and the Last Crusade at the time.


Lets set the record stright.  How cool is Indy?  Hmm?

Heh.  I was just trying to protect you!


Which bit, exactly did you find boring?  The bit on the train with the lion and the rhino and the snakes?  The nazi fighting, motor bike ride, daring escape from the airship?  The fight in Venice on the boats?  How about the tank bit?  Terribly dull.


I think I'll go and watch Jane Eyre for a bit of excitement.

I think those movies are exactly what they are supposed to be. If you're looking for that kind of adventure movie, you won't be disappointed. They're good films, but not any that I would rush out to see over and over. Though, I probably woudln't turn any of them off if they happened to come on tv.

That was the most wishy washy answer I could come up with.

Indy is cool.  No question.  Cool.  As is the bird in Lost arc who slams all those vodkas.  Check it out Lite, you must like that.

She was kinda annyoying, though wasn't she? (the girl in raiders of the Lost Ark, not Lite!)


She started off being a bit hard and bolshy, but as soon as she got out of the bar she was a screaming girly who kept getting kidnapped and tied up and pushed off stuff.


Cool movie, Raiders.  Best of the 3.


(Did I mention that I look just like a young Harrison Ford.  And I have a ... er... a whip...)

Maybe.  But the vodka slamming was enough to make her very cool.  Bring it on.

And she did almost escape from Bellaq by getting him very very drunk.  problem was... she was pissed, too. So it didn't work.  Indy still had to haul her annoying arse out of there!


They're making a new one you know.  Honest.  It's gonna have Harrison Ford and Connery in it again and it'll be out in a coupla years.  Not sure whether it's a good idea, though...


Hmmm...

ANYTHING Indy is a good idea as long as Harry Ford is still the man!

I knew they were making a new one but I did not know Connery would be in it too. I get they have someone else plaything Indy's kid or something. Harrison is getting up there in years and can't do all the stunts and fights and crap (at least in a believable manner).

Its Harrison Ford really, he just plays that role so well, if he'd been british he could have probably been james bond, in fact i'm trying to think of a rubbish Harrison Ford film?


anyone?


possibly that one where he's with a woman and crashes his plane (the woman's fault, natch) on a desert island and despite hating him at first she eventually falls in love with him - yukky.


Any others?

Unfortunately, yes. While rare, he was involved in a sordid, unpolishable turd of a flick, Air Force One: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/air_force_one/


In spite of what anyone tells you about this film, rest assured, it is crap.

Hm.


Well I quite liked it.  Mainly 'cos Gary Oldman hammed it up something chronic all the way through.  The supporting cast were **CUCUMBER**e though.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that movie.  I had the biggest hugest girly crush on Rik Mayall after watching that.


I went out and got all of the Young Ones episodes on DVD because of it.


We need a swooning smiley.

I'll work on it.  I think there's a blushing one!


Rik Mayall is cool.  He's better in The New Statesman than he was in the Young Ones though.

I refuse to see Eternal Sunshine on the basis that it has that tosser Jim Carrey in it.

I haven't seen City of God.  What's that then?

Its foreign - brazilian in fact - basically the Godfather but with teenagers and in Potuguese - very good.


Eternal... gave me renewed faith in both Carrey and Winslett - it almost made me cry


Big Fish actually made me cry (Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney)


So films that made you cry?


'Gone with the Wind' makes me cry....
