Is Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) Too Old?

The whole Indiana Jones revival thing is just bizarre to me. Harrison Ford is, what, 80 years old now? And he's still outrunning giant stone boulders and bounding over fifty thousand foot waterfalls in a tiny life raft. Kinda hard to believe.

On the other hand, there's a whole generation of young folks who never got to experience the original Indiana Jones movies first hand. In their prime. I guess they deserve that much. Coulda been with a more fitting actor in his place though. Just saying. Brad Pitt woulda done nicely. Or even George Clooney if he needed to be more mature. That's pronounced Ma - Tour for those not in the know. Sounds way classier.

Would any young person of today actually know enough of Indiana to want to be the halloween costume? I couldn't say. I suppose after having seen the movie maybe. They seem pretty popular. I don't know if it's cuz of the parents or the children. Or some combo variable of the two.

Joker's way bigger. High School Musical too. But Indiana is making a respectable showing.

Mutt is a cool name anyway. If nothing else.
