Yes, and the bit part by Harrison Ford was just ... a bit part, and look where he went!

Ford really is something special, though. Anybody who whines "All the great Hollywood actors died with Bogie" are Looney Tunes. We have a bunch of great actors of our own. Harrison Ford is one of them. He's the only guy who could have delivered Six Days and Seven Nights (and incidentally then-lesbian co-star Anne Heche went straight directly afterward ... just sayin'!), which is a very funny and even true, in its way. Mostly it's just an extremely funny movie of a spring-winter romance mostly because of Ford and Heche, and a great supporting cast.

I don't like his politics, but I sure like Harrison Ford's acting.

Problem is, Ford can’t really act. He’s got a shockingly limited range, and always seems perpetually uncomfortable. He was close to being the weakest link in BR, since everyone else in the film was superb with virtually no false notes.

That’s why I said Tom Selleck could’ve played all his roles (at least Deckard and Jones) and he’d have done just as well.

I think I watched part of “Six Days...”, but those kind of odd romantic comedies I just don’t much care for.
