Mr. Crowe may have pre-empted Mr. Ford as my favorite actor...

[annathepiper]

... but a certain rugged archaeologist is still my all-time favorite movie character, and Raiders of the Lost Ark is still my all-time favorite movie, and according to the official Indiana Jones website, the Indy trilogy is COMING OUT ON DVD ON 10/21!

GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME. Because mmmmmmm Indy.

The first one is the only one worth watching.

BRING ON THE FLAMES! UNLEASH THE FURY!

[avram]

No flames from me; I agree with you.

[annathepiper]

Heh!

Temple of Doom has two thing worth watching for me: 1) Short Round, 2) the one bit of actual chemistry between Indy and the otherwise annoying blonde chick, in which he drawls out the line "Nothing shocks me. I'm a SCIENTIST".

Last Crusade: Sean Connery is fun, and watching River Phoenix do a spookily good job of channeling Mr. Ford as young Indy is also good.

But aside from that, oh hell yeah, Raiders IS the best of the three, hands down.

Do you still find Harrison Ford's finger (http://www.apartment42.com/fingergallery.htm) attractive?

[annathepiper]

*snicker* We were just talking about that link on the Murkmush. I've been aware of that site for some time; that has traditionally been part of my favorite Harrison Ford fansite. ;)

And to answer the question, on Indy or Han? HELL YEAH!

I hated the 2nd one only for the EWWWW factor. I never got past the bugs on the floor.. It was too much for me. I have to say, as a fun movie and family entertainment of family, the humour in the 3rd one was great.. but yes, hands down.. the 1st one rocks.

I hear they are working on a 4th installment of the movie... yes, get those trilogies out there in peoples hands so they buy them, so we can resell the 4 movies in a pack.
I felt like this with StarWars Trio... First in it's original version... then in the souped up version, which of course this fan HAD to buy.. since. I was lucky though.. My b-day got me the 1st one, by xmas I got the 2nd one from my parents again since they were doing a Harrison Ford Xmas for me. :D LIttle did they understand how much of a Star Wars fan I reallly was.

[chipmunck.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO....

Oh my, I never noticed it, not a character quirk, but a actor quirk.. wonder if the directors realized it, and if any other new movies come out with him, will he do it again?

[mamishka.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm pretty sure he does it in all of his movies at some point. I can't always remember where it happens in his flicks, but it is a signature gesture of the man. ;)

[poetry-lady.livejournal.com]

For me, the only reason to watch the second movie is the oiled-up naked chest scene. mmmmmmmmmmmm

The third movie is fun in that she had a fling with BOTH of them.

[poetry-lady.livejournal.com]

omigod, that is too funny. I never realized that he did that in every movie!

[emmacrew.livejournal.com]

That has been on my Amazon wish list for about two months now (because one day they happened to hype it as pre-release).

*Covets*

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Yay.

Wife's Xmas present solved :)

[annathepiper]

I've been hearing for some time that there is going to be a 4th Indy movie, but I'll believe it when I see it, honestly. :) Over and over what I've heard is scheduling conflicts with Ford and Lucas, no good script has been found yet, etc.

And there's also simply the fact that while I love Mr. Ford dearly, he is getting awfully old for the part! Unless they somehow manage to come up with a script that makes an older Indy having an adventure Not Ridiculous, I'd be dubious indeed.

(My ideal 4th Indy flick would have a grown-up Short Round. I'd like to see what happened to the kid! He could be the young sexy half of the action, following in Indy's footsteps or something. ;D )

[annathepiper]

That was indeed a fine naked chest. ;)

And hee! "I'm as human as the next man!" "I WAS the next man!"

[annathepiper]

Glad to hear it! And hi, new person who's friended me. ^_^

[chipmunck.livejournal.com]

We should all get together and right that missing script. :D hehe.

[annathepiper]

*snicker* Yeah, in all our copious free time.... ;) Though this does remind me I have writing to do...

[annathepiper]

I knew it was coming, but I had lost track of when! *dances* YAY INDY ON DVD!

[annathepiper]

I had known about it before I saw the Finger Gallery, courtesy of several jokes getting made about it around the Murkworks -- I mean, after Meems and I did the Great Harrison Ford Filmfest of January 1997, it was kind of hard to miss.

But the Finger Gallery really *ahem* pointed it out well. ;D

[annathepiper]

I'm sure he will. :)

Though I just want any new Harrison Ford films to Not Suck. I never got around to seeing K-19, and I've been scared to see the current one he's in... because *shudder* "buddy cop flick", from what I could tell from the trailer.

I haven't really enjoyed a Ford flick since Six Days Seven Nights of all things, and I only enjoyed that because it was really fluffy and fun. And it was not a GOOD movie.

I don't think he's been in anything I'd call really good since The Fugitive.

[chipmunck.livejournal.com]

Did I say "right.. blah blah". Of course I should have written: Write.

Hehe.. Well, I am in a Script writing class and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with it. :D hehe.

I am ready to blow my lid. We have to write an outline. Okey, not bad. I did this. I feel okey about it. I didn't add a cool aspect but at this point, I am not caring since I am not fond of the teacher because of his actions against me.

So now we are to write a 3 page Treatment double spaced. He says that treatments have a beginning, middle and an end. Okey. fair enough. But I read that a full length movie, (which we should be writing) should have around 30 pages of treatment, maybe a bit less if possible for a 120 page script. Which constitutes a full length film. Which we are suppose to write.

Yet he sort of implies in a off handed remark, and that is only the way we got our assigment. grumbble grumble... that we are to send in a 3 page Treatment. IS this of the whole story? Is this just 3 pages of our story? What the heck is it? YEt emailing apperently doesn't get answers back.. I am completely fustrated. I feel like I am being ignored.
I will forgive him of couse if he had some personal emergency, that is understandable. But to ignore your students for 2 days? Come on.. YOUR the teacher!!!! you should be paying attention to your class at least 20 min. a day if not more to answer any possible questions that come up. :P anyways. I am totally unimpressed and wish I had the other teacher who also seems to do the script class, but he is my teacher for another class and is TOTALLY COOL!!!! :) anyways...
I guess I Shouldn't have taken up your journal space for my rant. :P IT's that it's 11pm and I neeeeed to know since it's due tomorrow!!!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

I'll play fair (but cryptic).

Tara.

[annathepiper]

HrRmRmRmmMRmRmm. It's official, I'm intrigued!

L.A. Worldcon?

Or are we talking an online connection? Given your location listed in your LJ userinfo, I don't think it would have been the 1995 Scotland Worldcon, since Tara wasn't there!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

*grin*

I was actually AT the 1995 Scotland Worldcon, though mostly in the filk circle.

But we're talking online. With a 'see also: Jen'.

[annathepiper]

HrMRmRmRMm. I too was at the Scotland Worldcon, and I'll be at the next one. :) But I didn't filk much in Glasgow and how much I filk in 2005 is going to depend on how well I can play something in public! I'll probably come armed with mandolin or bouzouki, though.

HrMRMRmm though. Online, huh? Let's see. The places I know Tara from online are Two Moons MUSH, PernMUSH, Segel Weyr, and the McAnallys mailing list. I am somewhat inclined to guess PernMUSH, though I am not pulling up a Jen out of my memory from there. ;)

[annathepiper]

No problem about the rant, babe, ranting is part of what Livejournal is for, huh? ;)

Glad the other teacher is cool at least! Let me know how the assignment turned out.

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

My. Someone needs to search her log archives :)

*wink*

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

For amusement value, you also have guyelfkin in your Scotland 1995 picture archive on your site...

[annathepiper]

And this would tell me what, exactly? I don't typically log which characters belong to which players. ;)

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

Only that you missed a Tara on Aether :)

[annathepiper]

OHHHHHHH. Okay, comprehension dawns! I know a Tara IRL, so I was thinking of her. ;)

Hi there, then! Long time, etc.!

[fleetfootmike.livejournal.com]

*grin* Hi!

Sorry to hear about the arm - glad it's getting better.

We probably met, or at least were in the same room, at some point during the '95 con :) I remember the filk room being a touch chaotic, to say the least.

[annathepiper]

I can't honestly remember if I DID any filk in Scotland! I seem to recall too much hanging out with various and sundry friends known from online at the time and going to room parties to have much time for the filk... and at that point I hadn't taken up the stringed instruments, either, and neither was I playing my flutes at filks... something I hope to change in 2005. :)

I've been scared to go to filks lately until I can actually do something besides panic when somebody says to me "play something" -- which actually happened to me when I bumped into Heather Alexander and Joe Bethancourt at a room party at 1997's Worldcon. ;D I can play rhythm chords fairly well on several songs, but they're mostly Great Big Sea and Elvis ditties, so I need to learn me some jigs and reels!

And figure out if I really want to keep my bouzouki in GDAE. HRMRmRmRmm.

[annathepiper]

Cool. :) Do you know this person?
