Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

I'd love to have seen Christopher Walken's Han Solo, though.

Puts Coke right out too. Coca Cola, proud sponsors of the Hitler Youth handbook, circa 1934. Time put him on the cover, too.... Man of the Year, wasn't it? Interesting deciding where to draw the line. I suspect manh of us have, albeit indirdctly, benefitted from Mengeles' vile experiments.



I can't imagine Selleck being half the icon. (Even if Harrison Ford loses cool points for agreeing to mord Star Wars rubbish). I'd love to have seen Christopher Walken's Han Solo, though.



That's true. A pity, but understandable.

Yeah, I'm a Pepsi boy.

I often struggle with a similar question. Why am I wearing this Aero jacket during the Denver Summer heat? Perhaps there is a bit of "Indy" in all of us.

Oh, we all wish …!

Sean Young would have been an improvement. But after Bladerunner, maybe Spielberg didn't want to cast her opposite Ford again?

Oh, I'd have to disagree with you there. Karen Allen …. oh my. Utterly charming and gorgeous. She nailed the role.
And after Bladerunner, I don't think any director in Hollywood wanted to work with Sean Young again. She was the Megan Fox of the day ...

it is very hard to imagine young Christoper Walken as a good guy.

more confincing as Hitler's or Vader's man really

Lets face it, if Tom was cast as Indy, we wouldn't have known about Ford, so Tom would be the man! It's a Zen thing, do you get it? [video=youtube;vUXCXCKbXb8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUXCXCKbXb8[/video]

Don't forget Dr. Strughold, who helped designee the space suits for our American Astronauts. As a NAZI, he tested Jewish children literally to their deaths to determine how the human body would react to space!

When do we forgive the living for the sins of their ancestors? 50, 70, 100, 200, 500, maybe 1000 years if that rings a bell!

and probably this place would be full with pictures of wonderful mustache, where members compliment each other and sharing tips how to brush it to bring out more of its character, the perfect length of it, the patina it gets from coffee stain and tomato ketchup, rather than jackets, or somekind of hat

If my great grandfather to the 20th power's farm was looted and pillaged by Genghis Khan, where do I file the claim?

The real point is we must never forget the lessons of history. How we manage this knowledge is important. The consequences of the things we are talking about are still part of our world.

It's all forgiven.
The important part is not to forget.

I don't understand, why do you think you should be compensated for remembering?

 

[navetsea]

another history fact we have studied about how devastating atomic bomb could be and how horrible the long lasting effect to the ecosystem, and they are indeed still part of our world.

We sure are.

Getting back to the movies, I thought the last one was terrible. Indy needs the Nazi's as occult abusing protagonists. Blanchett was hot, but Russians don't cut it as Indy bad guys.

 

[Seb Lucas]

Yep, it was a sad, creaking,CGI sodden mess. A wasted opportunity.

a leather jacket would make a nice rugged jacket for those cold nights in the desert, something to protect you from the wind & sand storms , scorpians, snakes, etc.

I dont know why he would wear one in the middle of the day in the scorching sun though?

Exactly.
In fact, he wears a leather jacket in the jungle in 3 of the films, and it never goes moldy.
