'Blade Runner is not one of my favourite films': Harrison Ford's fiery take on classic sci-fi hit (www.desimartini.com)

Harrison Ford spills the beans on his tumultuous time filming the iconic Blade Runner with Ridley Scott and how the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, was "just slightly more civilized."

“(Several parts of the text in this article, including the title, were generated with the help of an AI tool.)” So the article was probably written by a “skin job”.

I don't read much celebrity news, but from the little bits here and there over the years, I get the impression that Ford is kind of a pain to deal with.

By most reports, he's a pro on set. He's just old and gives no fucks to what others think anymore.

I always felt that he became famous entirely in spite of himself.

Does Harrison Ford like anything at all at this point?

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Does Harrison Ford really like any of the movies he’s ever been in?

Edit: I looked it up, apart from Raiders of the Lost Ark, I’ve never heard of these other movies he was in:

Been a while since I've seen Mosquito Cost, but as I recall he invents a super refrigerator that cools things down like a reverse microwave. Nobody takes him seriously, so he takes his toys and he and his family move to Central America where his family learns to hate him. Definitely recommend skipping it.

K-19 was a pretty good movie about a nuclear disaster aboard a submarine. Worth a watch.

Well duh. Ford likes Indiana Jones the most. He has made it clear many times. This is because in that film, he is the sole archetypical hero vs Star Wars etc.

I hardly know someone who deserves success less than HF.

[–] correcthorsedickbatterystaple@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

he's an actor. people are willing to pay money to see productions he is in. what's not deserved?

[–] mndrl@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think that many people as you think are willing to see the productions he is in:

He doesn't deserve it because he is a mediocre actor who was lucky enough to be in iconic IPs but has a terrible attitude towards those IPs and, to top it all, towards the fans.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The fans are pathetic manchildren, who doesn't have a terrible attitude towards them? Kevin Feige?

Oh snap
