Saw Indy on of the Daily Show tonight, and he is still trying to rock the bed hair, and it ain’t workin’. Looks like he cuts it himself, after trading shots with Marion Ravenswood. When was the last time Falfa had hair that wasn’t embarassing? ---

He still has hair? Seriously Harrison Ford belongs in a museum, next to Coronado’s Cross. I’m still hopin they restart the Indiana Jones franchise with another star. Or go frankly with the concept of an out of date adventurer having to keep up with the world in the Atomic age (something that was visually accomplished in Indy 4 and the atom explosion, it really was a nice shot and gave the sense Indy was starting to become a dinosaur. A relic out of a relic-hunter.) ---

I’ve never seen anything quite like it, but it looks like sort of a comb-_forward_. Like the hair on the front of his head is going, so he’s flattened some of the other hair and had it combed to cover that up. That or he just looks disheveled as usual.

It looks like he lets his hair do what it wants to do – no styling. Maybe the man just has no vanity. I like it. It’s way better than, for example, Donald Trump’s hair. ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > His hair looks fine, even good, to me in that interview. The disturbing thing is finding out the old codger has a 9 year old kid. Technically, Callista Flockhart’s adopted son, according to Wiki. They married in June of this year. He’s still hot. Some men, like Peter O’Toole and Sean Connery, got better with middle age. Ford started out incredibly hot, and is now aging reasonably well. ---

He seems to save any animation in his face or voice for his films- he is as wooden as they come, lately. And his hotness is definitely in decline, whereas Sean Connery and Morgan Freeman continue to inspire… 🆒 “Crotchety bastard” seems to be his new go-to role… Clint Eastwood does it better (and kicks people’s asses in the process). I never thought I’d hear myself dissing Han Solo, but yeah, he needs to either find some good roles or retire already. ---

> [@Moirai](#): > > I never thought I’d hear myself dissing Han Solo, but yeah, he needs to either find some good roles or retire already. Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones series, The Fugitive, Jack Ryan series . . . I’m pretty sure he works when and only when he gets a wild hair up his ass.
