OK, I was just asked a question. It's a question to which I should know the answer, but I don't! I'm having great existential trauma here, but in the meantime I thought I'd check in with the hivemind:
Why did they choose a bullwhip for Indiana Jones?
I have no thoughts on whyfor a bullwhip for Indy.
But look: it's the Batman Begins panel at ComicCon and over here it's the Fantastic Four panel!
Hm. It gets retroactively explained in #3, but in #1, it just showed up as part of his gear, without comment. Right? He had it back in the South American tomb/giant bocci balls complex.
Why did they choose a bullwhip for Indiana Jones?
Because it's rugged and manly, and reminiscent of an old-school serial.
(It's nagging at my brain that there was a more specific reason, and that it was probably mentioned on the making-of documentary on the DVD that I watched not three months ago, but I can't remember. Sorry.)
Why did they choose a bullwhip for Indiana Jones?
Because laser-guided missles hadn't been invented yet.
I don't think Clive Owen is hot either. And that takes some effort. I think most British actors are hot. So y'all can have the Clive.
Of course, I think JF is hot...I had a Pretty and Tormented button installed last year and he trips it more than anybody who's not Timmy.
It's our biggest hero-in-your-face celebrity, daytime metaphor for all us
FF? Really? I thought they were kind of ... stuffy, until Ultimate. And even then...
Roll call:
Clive Owen: Neutral. I've seen him in two movies and one of the BMW thingies, and he's never stuck to my brain.
Tobey Maguire: Odd-looking, yet strangely appealing.
Jake Gyllenhall: Neutral-to-attractive.
Matt Damon: Ditto.
James Franco: Looks genetically engineered -- too perfect to be hot.
Colin Firth: HOT. Teppy, you might just need to see a movie with him to get it.
Colin Farrell: Pretty enough to make me watch Phone Booth AND The Recruit. Skanky IRL.
Guy Pearce: Very, VERY pretty.
And, of course:
Drew Fuller: The prettiest, and all mine.
I thought Damon was incredibly hot as Will Hunting, but not as much since. Maybe I just want a working-class hero.
I wouldn't kick Matt Damon out of bed.
Except to do him on the floor.
