I guess we're all familiar with Harrison Ford trashing Star Wars. I think he's tried to recant a lot of that,
but it still pisses me off, I mean it's like giving the fans the middle finger.
Robert Patterson: Twilight
Ok, I know what you're thinking, those movies deserve it.
But hey, they made him a lot of money, plus put him out there.
Christopher Plummer: The Sound of Music
Again, maybe it was too schmaltzy for him, but give me a break:
It was his start and beloved by fans
Hey, they agreed to it; maybe they're worried about being typecast, but trashing is not cool.
Agree? any other trashing you're mad about too?

Shia LaBeouf slagged off the Transformers films too. What did Harrison say about Star Wars?

Harrison said the character never interested him that much and would never play him again (changed on that one) He also makes a new quote "The Force is within you, Force yourself." ok that I like that, but the sour painful look on his face in past interviews really bothered me. Have respect for your fans. It's like I sell you a painting I did and then start laughing, 'what a joke, I can't believe you love that, it's the worst painting I ever did. hahahaha

I think Paul Newman took out an ad to tell people not to watch the Silver Chalice when it was to be aired on tv years after its theatrical release. I love that film.

In an episode of his TV show, Jack drives up to a studio gate where a guard takes a look at him. Guard: Aren't you Jack Benny? Weren't you in The Horn Blows at Midnight? Jack: Why yes! Have you seen it? Guard (angrily): Seen it? I directed it!

I don’t think Christopher Plummer should be included in these discussions of actors who hated a movie. He made his peace with “The Sound Of Music” long ago. In his 2008 autobiography “In Spite Of Myself” he writes that he showed up on set with a haughty “I Am A Serious Actor” attitude. He credits Julie Andrews for befriending him and inspiring him with her dedication to the project (and, indeed, he gives a performance almost as worthy as Julie’s). In 2015 he showed up at all the “Sound Of Music” 50th anniversary reunions, posing in smiling pictures with the surviving cast members. He really mellowed a lot after – and maybe because of – his “Sound Of Music” experience.
I think that most movie actors who regret being in a film (often one made before they hit the Big Time) just don't talk about it. They want to let people forget it rather than make it more prominent.
I wonder if the Paul Newman anti-Silver Chalice ad was a joke. Surely, making such a Big Deal out of the TV broadcast could only increase viewership.

Actually, it's not a bad movie--very silly, and not the classic To Be or Not to Be, but not an embarrassment. Too bad Benny didn't make too many more movies; he was a wonderful comic actor.

Hi Mike, thanks for your post, I didn't know Christopher Plummer supported the film and cast members in the end. I'm glad to know that, it matters, but to me what was said still lives in the ethers. What Harrison Ford said, Plummer, and I didn't mention Leonard Nimoy wrote was just plain selfish. I LOVED Spock, but he wrote the book "I Am Not Spock." Why? because he didn't want to be typecast. He knew fans loved the character, and fans know he's an actor, but it was a selfish book to make money and complain. And then he wrote the book "I Am Spock"  Yep, maybe I should be more forgiving, but actors should be more careful and more appreciative of fans. Especially if it's something they love and watch over and over.

I don't see how an actor shitting on their movie is being disrespectful to the fans. In fact, I find their honesty refreshing.
What Harrison Ford thinks about his movies is his business, not mine. Harrison Ford very specifically seems to be in it for the money and he has made this hilariously clear, at least more recently.

You sent me a private message announcing you putting me on ignore like an annoying wife needing to be heard in the kitchen, you have no business calling others babies. |

Don't be more stupid, Harrison's job relies on him also promoting his movies to potential cinema ticket buyers, if he has zero interest or liking of his own films then why should anyone else give a fuck. Somebody quote me moviemouth has me on ignore. |

It can be tiresome.
It's their feelings though, they're entitled to have them. It's a window into the reality behind the magic. Some actors let it get to their heads, but the culture is so thirsty for their input that it's sometimes hard to blame them. I'd rather this blatant honesty about Star Wars than Harrison Ford lying through his teeth and saying he loved it.

Generally speaking, I believe if a celebrity trashes a film they've done, they're not doing it to offend fans. Usually a celebrity trashes their film because they were disappointed with how it turned out, didn't have a good shooting experience, just did the movie for the money, etc.

Somebody quote me moviemouth has me on ignore. I agree Downey. Hey moviemouth, if you don't care, more power to ya. That's great. It's all just opinions in the long run. Who cares. I still think it's disrespectful to the fans that love the franchise, and you don't. Fine. Let's live and let live.

I am far more angry and annoyed that I can see the reply to me by a user I have on ignore than anything any actor has ever said. Downey is a scumbag. He wants to argue for the sake of arguing, he likes to insult for the sake of insulting and you are encouraging this behavior.

But what about the fact that IT'S what catapulted you into stardom! I'm not really a Star Wars fan, but my nephew was from a childhood. I'm very protective of my nephew  meanwhile he probably doesn't care himself. lol
