Despite The Dude lending me his copy of Ender’s Game something like five years ago at this point, I ain’t never read it. With this first trailer getting me a bit intrigued, it seems that now may be the time to shove this classic deep into my synapses.
Harry Ford is going to be up in the Anchorman 2 house. I can get behind that. Here is hoping that whatever sort of preparation goes into this role involves finding some way to unmelt his face. Good lord, the guy sort of freaks me out these days.
I’m one of those assholes who still hasn’t read Ender’s Game, despite The Dude lending me his copy. What I did do was assuredly banish his copy to some Black Hole somewhere, after it slipped out from my car’s back seat and into infinity. Sorry dude! I love you. For those who are down with The Game, here is a first look at Harry Ford in the movie.
I was pretty cool with a Blade Runner sequel happening, so long as it was telling a new tale in the glorious cyberpunkverse I had come to splooge on. I didn’t want no haggard ass Harry Ford and his dangling earring running through it. As my Dad used to say, “How does it feel to want?” Pretty shitty, pah. Maybe it won’t be as bad as it seems.
Despite the fact that Orson Scott Card is a raging homophobe, there’s no denying that Ender’s Game is one of the classics of science fiction literature. In it, a young boy named Ender Wiggin is taken to Battle School where is gifts as a strategist are revealed. His talent is used in the ongoing conflict with the “buggers” – an alien race who won’t stop fronting on the human race. It’s “sequel” Speaker for the Dead, is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. Period.
After decades of planned adaptation, the book is finally coming to the big screen with Hugo‘s Asa Butterfield as the lead, Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) directing, and Roberto Orci producing. The crew has started a Tumblr so we can all follow along with the production at home. This excites me more than Taco Tuesdays or Pizza Mon-Fridays.
As Forrest Gump once said, “Rumors is as rumors does, boogers, cliche pop culture reference, tee-hee pee joke”. We should have recalled that line from that movie over the weekend, when it rumors about Harrison Ford appearing in the Blade Runner sequel came to boil. It ain’t happening folks! Probably.
I was pretty cool with another movie taking place in the Blade Runner universe so long as we didn’t have to see a haggard ass Harrison Ford in it. I may not be pretty cool with it for much longer.
Harrison Ford ripped into Chewbacca last night on the Jimmy Kimmel show. It wasn’t the most humorous skit I’ve ever seen, but it was nice to see Ford actually acknowledging his Solo roots. Earring still needs to go.
Harrison Ford is talking Indiana Jones 5?
Via /Film
According to Tout Le Cine, Ford told the assembled press at Deauville that he, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have agreed on the maguffin for the fifth film. Well, my translation software doesn’t say the ‘fifth maguffin’ but the ‘fifth element’ – I hope he wasn’t just talking about the Luc Besson movie.
What the fuck. Guys. Come on. The Indiana Jones awesome to suck ratio is so friggin’ high. Don’t start diluting that. Did you ever think that there would be as mad awful Star Wars movies as there were stellar ones? Kingdom of the Crystal People With Adamantium Skulls featured Even Stevens swinging on vines with monkeys. Please. I beg you. No
