This went up...good God, 15 months ago. But it's still funny. Not just the verbal repetition but the same emotional infusion stabs, over and over and over. Easily the equivalent of Shia Lebouf's "no, no, no" video. (Thanks to Slashfilm.)

So, this must be why he signed on to film "They Killed My Family with My Wife's Suitcase"

Pynchon8 >> Exactly. There was a hilarious "finger of doom" website several years ago.

LexG says ...

Heh... definitely funny, but I think you could probably work up a package like that for just about any "star" actor with a recurring shtick and a long enough filmography -- Costner being all aw-shucks, Gibson being crazy-eyed, Eastwood doing his thing, Reynolds sipping a beer, McConaughey being chill.

Can't argue that Ford has done the grumpy indignant monotone thing almost nonstop for twenty years... but I also think he gets a lot of cheap shots just because a lot of Han Solo and Indy fans are still stuck in 1983 with their attachment to those series, and see everything since as some Lucas-level violation of their childhood memories. At some point, I think it's kind of unfair to Ford (and Lucas) to always hold them to something they did when YOU were eight years old.

Also:

Wow, check that 1997-as-hell WB un-touched-up full-frame transfer on FRANTIC. I remember when DVD first hit big, and WB had put out all these library titles... the transfers were FAR WORSE than the movies generally looked on cable. I still have cardboard-case versions of Last Boy Scout and Pale Rider that despite being widescreen look worse than VHS... hell, worse than any movie ever looked on WSBK in 1981.

Lex, I thought the same thing about the clip of Frantic. Hilarious. Actually caught a bit of it on tv a few months ago. Wow. The scenes where Ford is barefoot are ... well, makes one wonder why Tom Selleck couldn't get more gigs.

two things:

It's a shame they didn't end with Tommy Lee Jones' response: "I don't care!"

and also-
too bad he turned down Cape Fear..but then he would have messed with his confident on screen persona..and might shake things up a bit and have a career.. oh well..
