Harrison Ford, QUIT COASTING!

OK, anyone else thinking Harrison Ford's star is starting to fade a little? well, it isn't because people don't CARE about him anymore. Its because we're tired of his 1 dimensional roles. He seems to play the same character over and over...and that can be fine (Look at much of Bogart or John Wayne's Career). The key is to be putting that persona we love into interesting settings. Ford isn't doing that...and its by his own admission. people like to see him a certain way, so why stray from that? Sure, i get it. still don't miss the point i made above.

Ford is beginning to type-cast himself. He still has a great deal of star power, but Studios will not keep on paying $20+ Million dollars to him if he can't do better than a 4th place showing behind some poor competition.

I say all this because i'm a fan and want to actually see people i like in movies i'll like.
