- I think they have alternate options as to what the roadblocks & speedbumps are. as soon as the fratboys got a dancing speedbump I thought the - peglegpete Dec 2, 11:57
- Generally I think they do that so that we don't know how far apart they are so that the final leg seems closer than it really is -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 11:54 1

- Oliver Stone's O - Coming Fall 2016 -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 11:52 3
  - *sues Stone for trademark infringement* -- nm - Oprah Dec 2, 11:59
  - Obama would have to go back in time and shoot Martin Luther King for Stone to make a movie about him. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:53 1
    - Or he could just have to resign under threat of impeachment. -- nm - Dano Dec 2, 11:55

- Oh, SNL, no contest -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:44 4
  - we could do a completely separate poll for these. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:46 1

  - Word -- nm - Guigue Dec 2, 11:44
  - that's my favorite movie of his. The art museum is my favorite scene of his. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:43
- In terms of his performance, I might go with Roxanne or All of Me. -- nm - mara Dec 2, 11:42 1
  - hard to choose between those two...both so perfect -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 2, 11:43
- I was just about to poll this, too...favorite: Muppet Movie; definitive: Roxanne -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:41 3
  - more quotes come out of The Jerk. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:43 2

Australia isn't doing any better in Australia. - David Dec 2, 11:38 4

  - Or cookies. Whatever he ended up betting. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:50
- The ads puzzled me. I know it's Baz Luhrman, but I kept expecting to see a sight gag and then a title card for "Romantic Movie" -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:41

In their careers, who has been the bigger box office draw Tom Hanks or Harrison Ford? -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:35 43
- Ford's biggest non-franchise hit is The Fugitive with $183 million. Hanks has three non-franchise movies over $200 million - Cast Away, Saving... - Roger More Dec 2, 11:51 2
  - To be fair, Indy 1 should count here....it became a franchise cuz it was a hit. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:00
  - Inflation adjust them to $7.12 2008 ticket pricing and the picture grows murkier. -- nm - David Dec 2, 11:57
- Hanks has Toy Story on his side. -- nm - Amy Dec 2, 11:47
- The Numbers knows all, people. You should know this. Don't abandon an old friend. - Mop Dec 2, 11:43 7
  - That list includes things like Cars and The Simpsons for Hanks which is dubious. - Inigo Dec 2, 11:45 6
    - Why dubious? He *is* Woody. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:51 5
      - It's a stretch imo to give credit for any real animations; much less an inmation where they have a cut scene over the credits. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:53 4
        
        Oh, I have not seen Cars. I can agree with that one. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:56 3
        
        I probably gave away a bit of a spoilers but further spoils - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:58 1
        
        The simple inclusion of Larry the Cable Guy removed it from my list of movies I will see. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 12:01
        
        Or Simpsons. Whichever one you are referring to. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:57
- Not sure if you're doing this as a trivia or just a question, but according to the-numbers, - JaxSean Dec 2, 11:43 1
  - Thank you! -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 11:44
- Hanks has 3.8bil, Ford had 3.3bil. Not sure if that's pre Indy 4 though. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:38 1
  - mojo numbers differ... - Stewie Dec 2, 11:41
- Ford has been in the more successful films and is a *slightly* bigger draw imo. -- nm - David Dec 2, 11:38
- Harrison Hanks -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:37
- for a time, Ford was in 6 of the top 10 grossing movies of all-time -- nm - zork Dec 2, 11:37 13
  - But people would have gone to see Star Wars and Indy with a different actor in the role. I'm not sure the same is true of Forrest Gump or Cast Away -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:39 12
    - I should say, *possibly* Indy. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:40 5
      - They would have...Tom Selleck was popular then -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 2, 11:45 4
        
        Yeah, but I'm not sure he would have made as lasting an impression as Ford did. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:47 3
        
        and he did make King Solomon -- nm - zork Dec 2, 11:48 2
        
        sfek 's Mines or some other crap that I forget the title that did absolutely nothing. -- nm - zork Dec 2, 11:48 1
        
        But that one wasn't by Speilberg/Lucas/Kennedy/Marshall. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 2, 11:50
    - Star Wars, yes. But you can't discredit Harrison on Indy. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:40 5
      - Wrong. I would have seen Star Wars once instead of 25 times. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:55 3
        
        he was a much better actor/character than Hamill/Luke -- nm - zork Dec 2, 11:57 2
        
        Exactly. You could easily make the arguement for Hamil or Fisher, but not Ford. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:59 1
        
        Yeah, he did have American Graffitti on his resume at that point. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:03
      - No - he also made movies like the middle two Jack Ryan films and Air Force One more successful than they would have been otherwise -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:41
- Ford. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:37
- Tom Hanks, by quite a bit. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 11:35 9
  - They are very close to each other in terms of dollars -- nm - Stewie Dec 2, 11:38 8
    - Yeah, but things like Star Wars were going to make a trillion with anyone in the role. Hanks made throwaways like Castaway mega-profitable. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 11:39 7
      - I think you could say the same for Ford with The Fugutive and Air Force One. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:41 5
        
        Fugitive was a remake and would have done well with other actors I think -- nm - Stewie Dec 2, 11:43 1
        
        It might have done okay, but not $180mil okay - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:45
        
        Yes, but Hanks hasn't really piggybacked on any established tentpole franchises. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:42 2
        
        Except for DaVinci, I agree. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:43 1
        
        True, true. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:45
      - I wasn't sure what was being asked, but yeah, I think Hanks has been a much better draw to moviegoers -- nm - Stewie Dec 2, 11:41
Simon Pegg = ? Ashton Kutcher = ? -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:34 1

NWBR - this really isn't about the fundamentals anymore. They drank all that syrup and now they're all antsy in the pantsy. - Reagen Dec 2, 11:34 9
