Welcome to our series “This Looks Like a Good Place for a Stickup”! Now, we’ve never met before, have we? Of course not, ha ha! I have in my hand an ordinary deck of playing cards, an electric chainsaw, and a plucked, uncooked goose. I want you to choose a card, any card . . . good, good, don’t show it to me, just memorize it. Now put it here into the goose’s anal cavity. No, no it’s fine, no need for that look. Terrific! How about a hand for our volunteer folks?! Aren’t they great? Now, over here we have a perfectly live ordinary pony. You’re going to use that chainsaw to saw this pony in half while I hang from my nostrils over . . . excuse me? The card and the goose? Oh, no that has nothing to do with this trick; that was just . . . for me. Now . . . where are you going? You’re worried about the trick? Don’t worry! I’m perfectly safe! The pony . . . .? I’m perfectly safe! Wait, come back . . . dang it, I still don’t see how any of this is supposed to help me rob a bank but today’s movie “Now You See Me” should give you a better idea, despite its complete lack of pony mutilation. How do they do it? It’s magic! F you!

Zorro, I think, qualifies as a cinematic rogue and over many films since the silent days, Harrison Ford was often known as the handsome rogue in his early films. Food of the Gods, for example. Who doesn’t remmeber him in that movie?
OMG! I just realized Marjoe Gortner from Srarcrash was also in Food of the Gods! So many stars in that film!
Wait, Harrison Ford wasn’t in “Food of the Gods,” was he? The cast is only 11 people and I don’t see him anywhere! Marjoe Gortner, sure, but not everyone’s favorite nerf-herder! Or was he in a giant rat costume…..?
He is in it… a very early role that sent him back to being a carpenter for a while I think.
Here is the amazon prime splash page… its really him!

Hmmm. Hang on, let me follow up on that picture . . . wait, the guy on the left? The one who isn’t Marjoe? That’s not Harrison Ford; that’s Jon Cypher. What sick mind game are you playing, Vince?!
When Max is right, I am man enough to admit it. I have thought that was him for decades! After hanging around penguins all the time I guess all humans look like Harrison ford to me! I wonder if he was in some other “classic ” film and I confused them? I’m confused a lot these days. Sorry Max but I think we all learned something important today about friendship. Or something.
Sir, you are a true gentleman, manfully conceding defeat. I shall certainly return your graciousness and PSYCH! I was right, you were wrong! Nanny nanny boo boo! I shall do the victory dance now! Come, penguins, dance with me! Come on, now . . . hey, don’t mess around! I’ve seen “Mary Poppins” and both “Happy Feet” movies! I KNOW penguins can dance! Why are you denying me? Dammit, Vince got to you, didn’t he. You couldn’t let me have this one victory, could you . . . I’ll get you, Gadget! Neeexxxt tiiiiime!
