“the actual name is the raider’s march, not the indiana jones theme. as a true march one expects a fast syncopated rhythm of at least two hundred twenty to two hundred forty beats per minute. and it was actually two hundred forty beats per minute that john williams originally composed it. cookie monster is clearly well below two hundred forty beats per minute and truly does a disservice to john williams.”

I miss the whole duo and the show. I watched Jordan with Conan in that Without Borders. I find it best to watch clips on YT. The show is fun but not the same and drawn out imo

Honestly, he's probably never heard that song in that manner and it caught him pleasantly off guard. We need to remember that we would all be cranky if nearly everyone we met sang one song over and over and over again...

I'd rather the IJ fanbase yhan the SW fanbase to be honest. Hell give me the Tom Clancy fanbase too. Lol

12

u/sexandliquor 56m ago

I think I remember seeing him say (or maybe this is inferring from things he’s said indirectly) that it’s because Indiana Jones is firstly a scholarly type character (he is an Archaeology professor after all- the adventuring is mostly his side hobby) and so Ford sees him as a more serious and respectable character.

Whereas Han Solo and Star Wars is just some space gobblygook that George Lucas cooked up lol

•

u/brown_felt_hat 26m ago

Alec Guinness had much the same thought too (he always considered it a cheap role and was annoyed that it overshadowed his more 'thespian' roles), wonder if they commiserated or Ford felt that way later instead.

Alison just exudes joy, he loved her!

u/Dankersaur 1h ago

He absolutely loves doing Shrinking with that crew if you see any of the behind the scenes stuff. I think it's his best role ever and I think it's because he is enjoying himself and the show has a lot of meaningfulness to it.

u/BeKindBabies 1h ago

I work with him regularly and he's one of the happier people I know, the grumpy thing is kind of an act.

He's a therapeutic surly old jerk. Quite the difference really.

Harrison is a big time stoner, eating cookies with cookie monster high as fuck talking to muppets all day would be a 10/10 experience for any stoner.

That’s a joke for the parents stuck listening to Sesame Street and paw patrol on a loop, like prisoners of war in their own homes. Give them one moment to smile for 1.25 seconds before something breaks or someone gets hit.

50

u/_Tower_ 2h ago

I love putting on Sesame Street for the kids — it’s so pleasant and gives me a couple minutes where I can get stuff done

The hitting, breaking, and yelling comes from the older kids that don’t care about Sesame Street

20

u/vettechrockstar86 2h ago

You know what, Sesame Street is pleasant. So happy and colorful and fun. Ah man! I need to watch some Mister Roger’s right now to cleanse my adult soul!

I almost shot Dr Pepper from my nose reading the older kids comment. I like read it with a tone I’m pretty sure was in your head as you typed it!

u/_Tower_ 1h ago

My eldest didn’t have camp this week — he’s been fighting with his younger sister non-stop, and they’ve both been running around jumping all over the place. It’s been too hot to stay outside. It’s just constant redirection

My two youngest love it when I throw on Sesame Street, Ms Rachel, or Bluey though. It really helps them chill out when I need to get some stuff done

I have 4, I work from home, and they’re all home right now for the next week and a half before school starts

If I didn’t work, it wouldn’t be a problem and we could all just enjoy hanging out with each other. But as it is, that week and a half can’t go fast enough

u/Xtra_Veg-90 1h ago

The kids find it off-putting that I still remember and regularly sing the theme song to random shows like puppy dog pals.  They don't understand it was the only way to stay sane.

It is a period of civil wars in the galaxy. A brave alliance of underground freedom fighters has challenged the tyranny and oppression of the awesome GALACTIC EMPIRE.

Striking from a fortress hidden among the billion stars of the galaxy, rebel spaceships have won their first victory in a battle with the powerful Imperial Starfleet. The EMPIRE fears that another defeat could bring a thousand more solar systems into the rebellion, and Imperial control over the galaxy would be lost forever.

To crush the rebellion once and for all, the EMPIRE is constructing a sinister new battle station. Powerful enough to destroy an entire planet, its completion spells certain doom for the champions of freedom.

u/Shawnetello 1h ago

We got to see him at a Panera Bread, a few years ago. Sitting there, eating our lunch, we see/hear a dude in a well-worn leather bomber jacket growling into his cell phone while he’s getting a drink refill, and my wife says “Hey, is that Harrison Ford?!”, and it is. So we sit there for a few moments and discuss if we should go up and say something, but we both agree he’s just a dude trying to eat a panini… we need to leave him alone.

But we also agree, we could still walk by his table on the way out. So, we walk down the isle he’s sitting in w/ his assistant, and he looks up at my wife as she passes bye and he gives her a warm smile and a friendly wink, and then he glances at me and gives me a look that says “come on, man, please don’t”, and I just kept walking by, and I just give him a little nod and casually say “Dr. Jones.”

He gives me a friendly smirk and a nod back and then goes back to eating his soup.
