How Disney/Lucasfilm could bring Indiana Jones back

This is the future...

there are apparently 4 hours of cutscenes, So I'm really looking forward to the Youtube movie edit.
 
I had no idea that there was a Harrison Ford before the Harrison Ford.:eek:
Film history shows that in disaster movies like EARTHQUAKE or INDIANA JONES AND THE SIXTH SHAMELESS CASHGRAB, actors playing dads are practically mere minutes older than their children.

But not pairing Cruise and Ford whatever the billing probably loses even more money than they'd have to spend to do it. Cruise used to pair up with famous, older veterans semi-regularly, but now it's at best his meeting a celebrity guest cameo a la Anthony Hopkins, Max Von Sydow or the Mummy. As Cruise gets more wrinkly and unstunty, he'll hopefully reconsider taking second billing to Ford, Hanks, Denzel or Cyndi Lauper while returning to worthier projects.
I'm honestly kind of shocked that Ford and Cruise have never done any movies. With as popular as they are, you'd at some point somebody would have brought them together, it's almost guaranteed to be a huge box office record breaker.

Mash and Doctor Who don't interest me, I've been exposed to both, they're just too lighthearted and goofy.
M*A*S*H... light-hearted and goofy?

The show with an episode in season one titled "Sometimes You Hear the Bullet" where one of Hawkeye's closest childhood friends is wounded and dies when Hawk tries to save his life is light-hearted?

The show where the ending of Henry Blake's final episode is still considered one of the most shocking twists in television history is goofy?

The show where an episode titled "Dreams" features some of the hands-down most disturbing imagery seen in any television show is light-hearted?

The show where the finale starts off with Hawkeye having lost his mind after watching a Korean refugee murder her own baby in order to prevent North Korean soldiers from spotting their bus is goofy?

The show has the tone of a sitcom. If I'm going to watch something war-themed, I'll put on Band of Brothers or The Pacific or a movie like Black Book. Yes, MASH might do serious episodes, but it feels like a sitcom trying to be a drama. It just doesn't work for me.
 
M*A*S*H was the original dramedy, and still the best. It's a crime against television that the networks insisted upon that canned laughter laugh track. At least there was no laugh track in the operating room.
The best feature on the DVDs is the straight audio without the laugh track. Thanks to that, I haven't heard the laugh track on M*A*S*H since the last time I watched it in syndication twenty years ago.

Thank you for this, I do not like dramedies. Monk is the exception. According to Wikipedia, MASH is a half-hour sitcom. :cardie: Why's everyone acting like it's The Sopranos level serious?
 
Hogan's Heroes was a sitcom. Scrubs was a sitcom. Calling MASH a sitcom is doing it a disservice. War is not funny and MASH never treated it is as such. The occasionally zany antics of the surgeons of the 4077 were a response to the horrors that they faced on a near daily basis dealing with battlefield wounded, in order to keep their sanity in place for the next batch of wounded that could come at any moment. Characters had breakdowns, characters died, and the operating room scenes were always elbow deep in blood. It was serious subject matter, despite the humor. And like I said, the laugh track was just a tragedy.
