Why were we watching Barbara Walters? It had to do with Star Wars or something. Must have been a 25th anniversary special or something.

There was a period, in the nineties, where I tried to catch everything Harrison Ford was in.  I had an art professor at USC, who went to high school with Ford.  His name was Harry and they both shared a teacher who got the both of them confused and would call him Harry Ford.

Also in a Barbara Walters interview with Ford which I saw many many years ago when asked if he would do Indy again he said (cant find video but they have his quotes)

[asked if he would ever play Indiana Jones again] "In a New York minute."

She asked him about Han Solo:

[asked if he would ever play Han Solo again]" No, because I have outgrown that character."

Well so much for that.

Well you just discredited your entire arguement. You present an interview where you've clearly pointed out that Harrison Ford lied about what he said, and then expect me to believe the other half of it? Nope, sorry not buying it. The man has no credibility for me to take him at his word. Therefore my original statement stands and wins.

Aw, I was curious as to what my old professor has been up to :

Harry Hansen taught at the University of South Carolina for 33 years, from 1970 to 2003. He worked his way up to Professor of Art and Associate Head of the Art Department. USC was his life, where he loved teaching students about the basics of art. He also taught Encaustic Painting and Watercolor, two fields in which he excelled. Many of his students have gone on to successful careers in diverse fields of art: art teachers, painters, graphic designers, and even an award winning editorial cartoonist.

Harry’s own artwork is in public and private collections throughout the southeast. His paintings, shown nationally and regionally, have won numerous awards. He often traveled around the state to teach painting workshops and to jury art exhibits for South Carolina’s many art groups. In 2006 McKissick Museum, USC, hosted a retrospective exhibition, The Essence of Nature: Works by Harry Hansen. Comments collected during the exhibition, especially from former students, are heartwarming in their regard to Harry as a teacher and as a person who cared for each student’s future.In Harry’s late 50’s he began showing signs of confusion and stopped making any art. No one knew what was happening to him, as he went from doctor to doctor. He began to withdraw from friends and stopped playing squash, a sport he’d played and enjoyed for years. Finally an official diagnosis of Vascular Dementia, akin to Alzheimer’s Disease, was given in 2005, when he was 63. Harry continued to sink more and more into his own world, which became smaller and smaller. That he doesn’t know what is wrong with him, is the blessing of his disease. The difficulty has been for family and friends to watch him slowly slip away. He now lives in the moment and is content. Amazingly, Harry still recognizes his own artworks and still enjoys the activity of drawing.

He'll definitely be grouchier this time around.  I keep imagining 70 year old Ford in that black vest. Lol

That might be kind of cool.  Instant messaging while gaming , with a keyboard not unlike my iPhone's (minus the annoying autocorrect).

Is Carrie Fisher coming back to play Jabba the Hut?

For anyone that cares to know: Fire Emblem is some of Nintendo's finest work to date! It's just one of those games that EVERYTHING is done soooo well, it's next to impossible to find any faults with it. The difficulty is absolutely PERFECT; it is COMPLETELY your own fault if you fail or succeed. I am surprised at the DLC so far. The majority of it is battles against teams of previous Fire Emblem heroes. If you beat that battle, you can add the hero commander to your own army. Very handy... and the battles are NOT easy. There are 3 of those so far. The latest DLC is a battle where you kill undead enemies purely for the sake of earning gold to buy better equipment. In the normal game, it is tough to earn a lot of gold on your own, so effectively you have to pay to earn gold. Sounds like a cheap ploy by Nintendo to make money... but the battle is actually a LOT of fun! Not something you would normally expect from them, but it's done in a way, you don't mind it in the least!

The relationship building, pairing of allies and eventual union of team mates and their off-springs... so simple, yet so compelling. Intelligent Systems has topped themselves with this one, and with their past track record, that's saying A. LOT!

Last Guardian a PS4 game now?  Grrrrrreat!

I'm still not buying another console before I can get my hands on the damn thing.  I bought a ps3 for The Last Guardian and I bought a psp after the promise of a Fumito Ueda portable game.  Not saying I regretted either of those, but the days when I would buy hardware in anticipation of a game are long gone
