"I Was Quit When I Came in Here, Bryant. I'm Twice as Quit Now."

And for our final installment on Harrison Ford week...John Book from Witness...No, of course not, it's humanoid replicant hunter Rick Deckard from Blade Runner.  In this day and age, it's sappy to say, but yeah, I too was heavily inspired by this dystopian neon gargbage heap of the future created by Ridley Scott.  I was in the video store as a kid, and all I saw was the box for a sci-fi flick with Harrison Ford that wasn't Star Wars and it's pic of Ford was nowhere near Indiana Jones.  From the minute it opened, I was pretty darned smitten, and have seen it enough times that I can annoy friends with the narration from the original release when watching any of the subsequent versions.  Anyhow, I'm quite happy with the drawing, and hope you enjoy it as well.

Our 2nd installment for Harrison Ford week (which probably should've been 1st, in terms of influence) is the galaxy's favorite scoundrel, Han Solo. If anything, Solo, as both smuggler and fan favorite character, once again proves people's love affair with the outlaw/rebel, the selfish guy who ultimately does the right thing.  Lord knows he was instantly my favorite...I mean, I wanted to be Luke, a young man starting on a mystical martial arts journey, but I loved Han.  Hell, if there had been some magical way to combine the two (you can't...it's not the same...they have to each be what they are), that's the guy I would've wanted to be.

"Computer! Stop the flow of time!"

This week, by strange coincidence, turned out to be dedicated to some lovely ladies from sci-fi.  We kick things off with a quickie from a goofy favorite of mine, Luigi Cozzi's nonsensical Star Wars knock-off, Starcrash (1978), which featured the lovely Caroline Munro.  Munro, a successful model, never quite got beyond the arm candy parts she was offered in her film career despite being both a Bond girl and a regular at Hammer studios.  She was the lead in Cozzi's bizarro space opera alongside a very young Hasselhoff and a seemingly embarrassed Christopher Plummer...oh, and former child preacher, Marjoe Gortner.  And as I can't help but mention: how can you not love a movie with a villain named Zarth Arn?
