Blade Runner 2

^ 30 years in-universe and 35 years in real life. Total sum: 65 years! :lol:

The teaser music and ambience was perfect IMHO. I hope it's as good in 2049 because Vangelis' music is a big part of Blade Runner's atmosphere.
 
While I'd love to see Vangelis come back, Daft Punk would be a good option.. Or maybe Moby... So much of why Tron:Legacy worked was the atmosphere created by DP's score...

Gotta love Ford's " I don't give a damn. Just shoot the photo" look


EW always has terrible photos
 
Ford has been on snooze control in recent years, so I'm really hoping Villeneuve - who I think is a really gifted director - manages to elicit something out of the cantankerous old bastard.

(If he didn't, hopefully Ford/Deckard gets 'retired' early on :))
 
Is it me or does he look YOUNGER in these photos than he did in The Force Awakens? Maybe it's the hair...

That's not always the case. It depends on the photographer. I've seen some good ones from them.

As for Blade Runner 2049, I'm hyped. Just saw the preview last night and it looks promising. From both Gosling and Ford.
 
I sort of still hold out hope for Sean Young. She allegedly met up with Ridley in the last year or so.
 
I'm very excited for this film but just from the trailer it looks a little bit too sterile, the picture is too clean and sharp. There was something a bit dreamlike and hazy with the original film. Here the picture seems a bit empty, there's less in the background.

There's less smoke. But then, these days, certain sources of that aren't likely to be allowed xD
 
Even in BR2, Harrison Ford looks so OLD!!! Really sad, how decrepit he looks. He'll make Sean Young look younger, at least, so it's sweet that it flatters her. He has no appeal left, though, outside of nostalgia, alone.

He really has to get out of the Action/Adventure market and start playing bit parts as somebody's grandfather, from now on. I didn't even want to see him in his last Indiana Jones movie, but a friend invited me to see it in the cinema with him, he'd even pay my way, but I told him to get the 'F' lost, with it and he never let it go.

He ended up buying me the DVD with a booklet and all this with it, because I MUST see Crystal Skull. And...............it sucked. Yes, there are age jokes directed at Ford in it, but I'm still watching him living out some 2nd Childhood Fantasy. He's spry, I'll give him that, but really ... it's past time to take on age-appropriate roles for Mr. Ford.
 
Well, I only hope I can look half as good as he does when I'm in my 70s. Yes, he has that haggard, "It's not the years it's the mileage" look, but the guy HAS to be in incredible shape to do what he does and to bounce back so well after the injuries he's suffered in recent years. I'm sure having a much younger wife helps keep him on his toes as well.

Crystal Skull didn't suck because of Harrison Ford's old age. In fact he was the only one that came out unscathed from that stinking mess.
 
Well ... Crystal Skull was written by David Koepp, which is The Kiss of Death, to begin with. He ranks right down there with John Logan. But Ford leapt me right out of the movie, when he was fighting with that Russian at the rocket complex. I could sort of excuse the swinging from the whip, through the warehouse, because it's just a convention of Jones' in this franchise. His whip has always been magic, especially how it untangles itself with just a tug, no matter what it's wrapped around, or how taught it became. But when I saw him swinging from the chain, bursting through the glass and beating the living shit out of this Russian who's twice his size and a third his age ... I got very uncomfortable. I felt insulted, I guess it was.

Like, in The Voyage Home, nobody does anything, physically, that's beyond belief, what someone in their age bracket might be expected to do. Only Shatner's rug defies all Reality. But Ford really needs to start accepting his age. I know I've accepted his age, already. I mean ... I can see him running, without getting overly winded, as long as he's not outpacing a 30 year old. I can easily accept him shooting people with considerable accuracy. I can even accept him surprising a youngin' with a 1-2 punch that knocked them on their ass and out cold, for a while. But Indy's gymnastics of Crystal Skull make me kind of want to turn my head and look away. It's too dreadfully embarrassing.
