For The First Time In A Long Time, I Agree With Ford

[lazypadawan]

Harrison Ford lets loose on Shia LeBeouf, who is set to make even more money with yet another "Transformers" film out this weekend:

The young loose cannon is now sharing with the world his "exploits" with former co-star Megan Fox.

Believe it or not, Brad Pitt said some not exactly nice things about Devil's Own when that was out and Harrison had to take him to task for that as well. He's probably going to start thinking twice about working with these young up-and-comers.

Heh heh, I wasn't crazy about "The Devil's Own" either but I wasn't the well-paid star of the film.

What grates about LeBeouf is that he only turned on KOTCS after the backlash. He knew he couldn't do that to the "Transformers" films, which are often bashed by critics and by guys on the internet, because Michael Bay would have him in the same unemployment line with Megan Fox.

LeBeouf seems to have a habit of trashing films after doing them. But he's more than happy to cash the checks.

Definitely agree with Ford here and I'm glad he finally responded to the comments. LaBeouf was the one who dragged him into it in the first place.

I do recall there being a lot of reports about an on-set feud between Ford and Pitt on the set of The Devil's Own. That wasn't exactly a great shoot. I think The Devil's Own might have been the beginning of the Harrison Ford decline.

Well... Michael Bay has kinda gone on record as saying Transformers 2 wasn't that great (I think he said he wasn't thrilled with how the mystical element of the film turned out), and Bay is kinda waving a finger in Steven Spielberg's direction for instigating the firing of Megan Fox. Granted, she said some things she shouldn't have said, but she certainly didn't brag about sleeping with Shia. I wonder why?

I know you're a guy, but would you ;)?

Eh, I think Bay was just trying to pass the buck to the boss. The rumor mill said he hadn't been happy with her since she publicly complained about working on "Transformers 2."

Heh. Go Harry!

Shia claimed that Ford agreed with him that KotCS was lousy. Maybe, maybe not. But he at least didn't tell the world how much he thought it sucked.

Besides which, I think Ford was glad that he got to don Indy's fedora one more time. It was in all likelihood going to be his last opportunity to play Indy (the proposed fifth flick is in limbo, and I frankly hope it stays there), if not his last opportunity to be an action hero. I think it showed in his performance; he was more charming and lively (if with a touch of his signature crankiness) than he'd been in eons.

It sounds to me like he's blaming himself for the bad reception of the movie.

He's still a tool though.
