Can anyone with ...Oh we totally need our own ward!<br /><br />Can anyone with a good memory, and a keen eye for Harrison hotness help with this? I believe that when I saw The Fugitive at the cinema way back in the summer of 1993 there was a full body shot of Harrison in a pair of tight white briefs. It's during the scene where he ditches his prison overalls and shaves off his beard. It made quite an impression on me, because it was the first time I had ever seen Harrison on film without his trousers, not to mention that there was a rather impressive looking bulge in those tighty whities - and when you're sixteen, you tend to remember things like that, you know?<br /><br />Anyway, I patiently waited for the VHS release, planning on freeze framing said scene. But I was totally stunned to discover it wasn't there! Well, it was, kind of. Part of the shot remains, but it looks as though the camera has zoomed in ever so slightly, so that you only see him from the waist up, although from memory, you can just see the waist band of the briefs. Disappointed is not the word, and this has bugged the hell out of me ever since. Is there a conspiracy? Did they deprive us of what could be the most revealing shot of Harrison on film? But why would they do that? It doesn't make sense.<br /><br />Does ANYONE remember this scene in the cinema version? Or do I really need to be locked up?claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-12426262391233681282012-07-16T09:12:54.163-05:002012-07-16T09:12:54.163-05:00Welcome, skyway!

I've been stalking (yes, stalking) this blog shamelessly for the past year, wanting to read all your Han and Leia goodness. Please excuse me if I start rambling about them, I am one BIG fan of H/L (excluding everyone else here). I have a blog on here (Lord of the Stars || Multi-Fandom Blog) but it's mainly about Star Wars. Of course. And I need followers.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to Crucible (along with my other 36 Star Wars books, and yes I'm operating on the assumption that Crucible shall be mine) and I can't wait to see what Denning has in store for the Big Three this time. If it's their final adventure, I'd rather they more "retired" than one of them die. <br /><br />Although, watching Han weep over Leia's body... heart-rending.<br /><br />Zyra, Push, I just bought 'The New Rebellion' by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and it has SO MUCH H/L goodness! I won't spoil anything, but YOU NEED TO GET A REVIEW FOR IT UP SOON! It's seriously -the best-. <br /><br />Kso, I've rambled.

I am guessing the title refers to the latter definition, which does sound ominous. But then you can't get anymore ominous sounding than Apocalypse can you? And no one died in that.<br /><br />The thing that keeps me thinking positive on this is this...who is the head honcho of Lucasfilm publishing now? Yes, the lady who used to write as Dianora. I cannot seriously believe that so early into her job she would approve the death of either Han or Leia, she would certainly have a lot of input to what the writers can and can't do, and I honestly don't think she'd be happy about that.claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-79135784684098609782012-07-14T02:20:52.766-05:002012-07-14T02:20:52.766-05:00Now it's morning I can think clearly.....they ...Now it's morning I can think clearly.....they know how much fans analyse stuff in the lead up to book releases, so the emphasis on Han is probably a red herring and done totally on purpose, when it most likely doesn't mean anything.<br /><br />Death or not, this could be the Big Three's final adventure in print, then the younger generation take over full time. That will happen I think.<br /><br />But yeah, the cover is bad! They look ancient. To be fair though, they haven't really aged that much on book covers over the years. Luke still looks 20 something on most of them. But at least when they look young on the cover we conveniently forget how old they really are. And this kind of slaps you in the face doesn't it?claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-81124965858353673612012-07-14T02:12:35.639-05:002012-07-14T02:12:35.639-05:00I never understood why he wasn't nominated for...I never understood why he wasn't nominated for The Mosquito Coast. I thought he was amazing in that, in my opinion his most Oscar worthy performance without a doubt.<br /><br />Oh, he'll definitely get that honorary Oscar, I've no doubt about that.

We know it wasn't his fault because he didn't even know, but it seems unfair he never knew his son until he was 19 or whatever. I don't think he'd respond lightly to that! Although I'll be honest and say I do enjoy the quicksand... I mean, drysand scene when she tells him and the snake he has to use to get him out. <br /><br />I feel like he likes his work enough that he might not ever retire, especially if he can be picky, which he probably can be. People will always want him for things. I doubt though that he really needs the money. Yes, he had one of the biggest divorce settlements ever, but the man has his own private hangar for his fleet of airplanes. I have a feeling he's not strapped for cash.<br /><br />I think he'll get an Oscar eventually. It may only be honorary, but still. It does kind of suck though that he's never gotten one, though not many of his films were Oscar-type roles. He's far too iconic to never get one, though, even if it is honorary. Cuba Gooding, Jr. has an acting Oscar and Harrison doesn't?

I doubt it though. I mean, why have a new book come out just to kill one of them? Honestly, this actually doesn't excite me at all. I love reading about them especially when it's Troy, but dear lord, how tired must those poor people be? Can't they have a little rest? Maybe it's just more stuff about Han and Leia being grandparents, or Jaina having a baby or something. I doubt that of course but they need some peace and quiet, even if Apocalypse didn't exactly end with everything in a great place.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-1391546927287469062012-07-13T19:57:15.858-05:002012-07-13T19:57:15.858-05:00I had all the same thought too.

It took me a long time to get over Apocalypse. I was really hoping for something along the lines of the Shadows of Mindor book or a complete rewrite of the entire EU :). And yah that cover. What annoys me the most is does Leia really have to wear jedi robes all the time, not very flattering. Kinda reminds me of the housecoats old women wear.Seams2Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743144026790154782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-65605003080765698602012-07-13T19:17:29.457-05:002012-07-13T19:17:29.457-05:00Did you see there was a cover to it?

I agree about Crystal Skull; it does grow on you. Most people don't like Temple of Doom the first time either, but it is dark and funny after you've seen it a few times. The nuking the fridge scene never bothered me, though I wish some of the dialogue was better among Indy, Marion, and Mutt. And portraying Indy basically as an absentee, deadbeat dad (even though he didn't know, he should have)? Not the best choice.<br /><br />I am excited for 3 HF films next year! He has never done this much work at one time. He has consistently done one film per year and that's it. I hope he is not planning to retire anytime soon after one last year of making money. I know the divorce must have cleaned him out a bit and maybe he feels the need to replenish his savings, but I hope he's not planning to call it quits. That would be a very typical HF move. He's still got it. Maybe he can get that Oscar yet.OKHotshot77https://www.blogger.com/profile/02242484230557154041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-72475952797192577512012-07-13T18:41:55.905-05:002012-07-13T18:41:55.905-05:00Claire, that actually passed through my mind brief...Claire, that actually passed through my mind briefly too.
