Indiana Jones and the Deforested Chest



My obligatory Indy post for today: Harrison Ford proves his masculinity by comparing his body to Earth.

While I’m still upset by all the bad buzz related to Indiana Jones and the Movie That’s Not Even in Theaters Yet, I find this story at least a little uplifting, as it’s for a great cause. Harrison Ford, who sits on the board of directors at the environmental organization, Conservation International, appears in a new PSA focused on the harms of deforestation. To show us how much it hurts the earth, Ford’s seen having his chest hair yanked out, a la Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

But does it really hurt, Harrison? Because you didn’t scream or wince at all. I know you’re a tough guy action hero, but it would really drive the point more if we could see the man behind Indy/Han Solo/Jack Ryan/President Marshall/etc. start yelling and maybe even shed a tear from pain. Nevertheless, I appreciate the sentiment, especially the way you’re capitalizing on your latest Indy movie to bring us this important message. I can’t wait for the next PSA where you get hair plugs put in to illustrate the ease of reforestation.

    “All the bad buzz”? The movie’s currently sitting at 77% fresh over at RT. Not an overwhelmingly ecstatic response, to be sure, but that’s hardly “bad buzz,” yes?

    The reviews aside, look around the internet and you’ll notice a lot of bad buzz surrounding the film:
