Harrison Ford has to be one of the most one-dimensional actors in history. He always plays the same type role and always has the same facial expression.

.... it would cost between $3 billion and $10 billion to drain the Hetch Hetchy reservoir and replace San Francisco's water and power supply than never-say-never environmentalists enlisted action hero actor Harrison Ford to their daunting cause." They should get to fund raising then. Why should I pay for their attempts to feel good?

You've obviously never seen "The Mosquito Coast" or "Witness" then.

Ditto. He may be a lefty in the real world, but he's an excellent actor.

Just a thought...why couldn't they have had Harry as the lead in "Snakes On A Plane" instead of Samuel Jackson?

you're so right...but you forgot to add that those same facial expression apply to drama OR comedy! He's just been lucky to get himelf involved in some very good movies with very good scripts.
I watched WORKING GIRL and THE FUGITIVE last week. I swear, he could have been the same character in each role.

Why should I pay for their attempts to feel good?Why? B/c they're "the Annointed" while we're merely the lumpenproletariat,that's why.

Just a modest proposal:
Drain Hetch Hetchy.
Dam and fill Yosemite.

Ford does what John Wayne always advocated his acting was--it's all in the raising of the eyebrows, and really just saying the lines.

I guess those environmentalists would like see a few gas turbines replacing the 400WM the Hetch Hetchy Hydro Power Plant.

Draining San Fagsisco's water supply sounds like a good idea??
Wonder how many tons of Blood for Oil he burned in his Gulfstream to make this film?? Can you say enviro-hypocrite?

They should get to fund raising then. Why should I pay for their attempts to feel good? That's just the beginning...
Imagine paying for a new supply of water to accomodate 4-6,000,000 people, in an atmosphere of almost total technical environmental ignorance, hamstrung by environmental regulations that will require 20 years and billions$ additional?
Not to expose my hopelessly cynical but historically justified side, but I do hope that the new water supply is in place before destroying the perfectly good existing one. Perhaps there will be an epidemic of human reason and, realizing that in one of the world's most populated and seismically active earthquake areas, perhaps having a backup system might be wise.
Or not.
It makes me all warm and fuzzy thinking about it.

He was good 10-15 years ago. Now it's just the same tired stuff.
What is it with these actors anyway? Let's trace the "thought" process. "I have all the money I could ever want. Anything material or service is at my disposal. What are my choices in life? Strung-out junkie or environmentalist." For current and former A-list actors, it's about 50-50 between junkie and environmentalist. I guess it's too much work to go find a hobby.

Harrison Ford has often appeared to be drunk at awards and other shows. Maybe he's a strung-out junkie AND an environmental activist!

No joke, a single cross-country chartered jet trip burns more fuel than your car does in 5 years. Funny I don't see ole Harry and Robert Redford living in the sticks and surviving on acorns but they expect it from you.

Its a Hollywood fantasy... at a time when California faces a major drought, liberals want to eliminate San Francisco's main water reservoir.
