Just another white knight to the rescue, old man with young chick flick


For starters, I thought Sean Connery was Kate Capshaw's father. Boy was I surprised when she referred to him as her husband. Seriously? Yet ANOTHER movie with an old geezer married to woman 1/3 his age, and everyone acts as if that's NORMAL?

Then there's the hero who comes to the rescue.

This movie has been done many times before. Yawn.

I bet that old Scotsman laid a lot of pipe in his older years. Women of all ages loved Connery.

He more likely supposed to be in his late 50s and she in her late 30s or early 40s. That Hollywood pushing white patriarchy values. In awhite male patriarchy. Men are valued by how much money they make. Women are valued by their looks.

What's the problem. Connery was ONLY 23 years older than his leading lady! ha

He was the one and only 007 as far as I'm concerned, but I really loathe how Hollywood still pairs up the old guy with the young woman. When I first saw his little girl, I expected her to say, "Hi Grandpa!" Seriously, he was closer in age to his father-in-law. Is it SO hard to find an actress who was born in the same decade as the big star (who apparently never gets old).
