Indiana Jones - Destined To Flop
The Critical Drinker ^ | 6/26/23 | The Critical Drinker

I don't think it's wokeism.

It's just the fact that Harrison Ford is too old and should have relinquished the role to Chris Pratt. Actually, I'd like to see Bradley Cooper be Jones, as he as that professor and action figure look.

I agree with Harrison Ford being too old now. Time to kill him off in the last movie. Chris Pratt doesn't have enough charisma.

He's a great actor though and really fits the profile of what Jones should be.

Mostly all of Hollywood is liberal, unless Jim Caviezel stars in it.

They should get that latest hot-stuff actor to take over. What was his name, Shia Labeouf?

It’s another Disney Film.
I hope it does flop.

Out of curiosity I looked it up. Harrison Ford is 80!
So, yeah. You might have point.

Speaking of Jim Caviezel, I think he would be an excellent choice for Indy.

He could still be the “Young” presidential candidate if he threw his hat into the ring against “(I’m not) Jokin” Joe.

James Camron wheeled out _Titanic_ to help _Avatar 2_ recoup the billion it had to make just to sustain itself.

Maybe they’ll wheel out the original and perhaps _The Last Crusade_ to make sure the fifth adventure makes its money, too.

I love the Critical Drinker.

Yes, Harrison Ford is too old. But putting someone else in the role won't solve the problem of the woke script that fans will hate.

Agreed. Cooper is woke. Which makes him an idiot.
