: Ummm...yeah, I think he does look too old. It's time we all accept a certain basic fact. Harrison Ford does not want to play Indiana Jones as badly as we want him to. He is a professional who is earning money. Though he has stated his interest in returning to the Indiana Jones series, I think that is more about PR than anything else. And the more time that passes, the more unlikely it is that his interest in an IndyIV will grow. Personally, I think that aother IJ movie will be as elusive as the treasures Indy seeks.

Personally I don't think that Ford is too old to play Indy again. Connery has done movies that are action type movies, and Ford certainly seems capable. With this being said, I have a sneaking suspicion that we will never see another Indy movie. I do hope I am wrong. Perhaps Spielberg and Lucas will realize that my generation-the baby boomers need some encouragement now that we are no longer youthful in appearance, and will realize that we are a huge market to go after. Thar's gold in them thar hills! Steve
