I envision Ford and savemedrzaius in the scene from Air Force One where Ford says "Get off my plane" and chucks him out the back.

I like his movies but it's usually despite of him instead of because of him.

But hey different strokes for different folks and I'm aware I'm definitely in the minority...I find him swarmy and just not a good actor.

Blasphemy! Ford is a terrific actor.

Granted, sometimes he'll mail in a performance depending on the quality of the film. But when nails a role, he really nails it. Star Wars and the Indy trilogy are great examples, as are the Jack Ryan films and The Fugitive. But check out some of his lesser known roles as well, like Witness, Frantic, The Mosquito Coast, Regarding Henry, and Crossing Over.

His character in Mosquito Coast is one of my favorite Ford performances:

Blade Runner the Final Cut on bluray is one of my favourite movies ever.

Regarding Henry and Witness were great movies.

Ford is usually nasty on talk shows. You can tell he hates doing them.

I love this story from Mark Hamill. Also, this might be the best Harrison Ford impression I've ever heard.

Conan does well with him. Go to 5:20 for the highlight:

He seems like a good sport on Kimmel as well. This one's the best.

Ford plays up his grumpy guy image to a hilarious tee. If you watch his whole press interviews it’s usually good for a laugh.

He’s always stoned too.

Took my kid to watch Secret Life of Pets 2. Recommendation? Don't. The first was fun and peppy. This one was so bad I fell asleep about 30 minutes in, til almost the end. It's fun for kids I guess, but the humor is so forced. My 5 year old laughed, but it was nothing memorable. I wouldn't waste your money watching, and just wait til it comes out on Netflix.

Just got back from Toy Story 4 with my family. Thoughts
- Wife loved it, which is always shocking when she's fully engaged in a movie
- Son loved it. He couldn't stop laughing his head off at the funny parts, which were actually funny
- I loved the full arc of Woody's character, from Toy Story to this one. Yes, it could have been finished by Toy Story 3, but I think they always intended to leave the door open for this one, with a Bo-Peep Reunion
- While predictable, I was actually somewhat surprised at the ending. I expected it about 25-30 minutes in, but I really though the end was going to have Andy. Either way, I loved the ending. To my previous point, a really good arc for Woody overall.
- Leave it to Disney to make me tear up. That ending was very well done.
- I went in with really high expectations, and I left satisfied. That was one of the better movies I've watched this year so far.
- Many more thoughts, but to finish up, the effing Dummies were scary AF. I've hated Dummies since I was a kid and read and saw the Goosebumps episode/story with them in it.

That was a good impression.

Had to watch the beginning again to see how Mark Hamill is sitting. How very odd.

Toy Story 4 was good. It wasn’t perfect but I had some good laughs and maybe a tear or two. 7/10 for me, but I’d rank it 4th on the list of Toy Story movies. The animation was amazing. The scene where RC was in the water was stunning.

I took my mom and kids to see this as well and we all actually thought that it was better than the first.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is a tremendous film. I can't say that about many solo Marvel films.
