I know it’s not incredibly inventive to joke about Harrison Ford being of retirement age when he puts on fedora for a fourth time this summer. In fact, I’ve commented on his decline as an action hero before. In my opinion, he needs to move onto more character pieces and leave the action movies to the young bucks – whoever they might be.

Frankly, I’m seeing a disturbing trend when it comes to trotting out these old action stars. Slyvester Stallone was first out of the gate with Rocky Balboa. He’ll do it again in Rambo 4: Pearl of the Cobra in 2008. Bruce Willis is dusting off John McClane in Live Free or Die Hard this summer. As reported last week, they’ve settled on a script and Harrison Ford will be playing Indiana Jones for the fourth time in 2008. It’s only a matter of time before Arnold Schwarzennegger’s term as California governor expires and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that he’ll throw his hat back into movie-making since all these other old guys are doing it. It’s riduculous and it has to stop. To that end, I’ve dedicated myself to making fun of this new trend in ’07 where ever I might see it.

Quick bit of news – we’re bringing back the talkcast.

Be sure to join myself, Joe Dunn from Joe Loves Crappy Movies and Gordon McAlpin from Multiplex tonight at 9:00 PM CST when we debut our new joint talkcast appropriately titled "The Triple Feature." The three of us will be getting together for an hour every Monday night at 9:00 PM to discuss the latest movie releases, comics and pop culture. We’ll be taking your calls throughout the show, so be sure to visit the TalkShoe web site about 15 minutes before hand so you’re in the room when we start broadcasting.

I think Joe and Gordon are itching to talk about Children of Men, which I’ve yet to see. But I can probably talk about the site redesign, or something, if things get slow.

If you want a sense of what to expect, you can download the first three shows from last year. They’re a lot longer than what we plan on doing in ’07, but Joe and Gordon made appearances in a few of them and you can download them to get a sense of how we interact. They’re a lot of fun to listen to!

I didn’t get an opportunity to make it to the theater this weekend. Cami’s baby shower was on Saturday afternoon and we pretty much spent all day Sunday organizing everything and washing clothes. It’s a crazy time to be alive! Can you believe A Night at the Museum took in $24 million in it’s third week? That means its box office is up to $164 million. Does that mean there is a sequel in the works? It’s the runaway hit of the holidays! Have you guys seen it? What did you think?
