You’ve got to pick sides these days. There’s no grey in life anymore, no nuance. It’s black and white. Guilty? Then throw away the key!
A victim? Then everything you say is sacred and righteous. Think the most recent album by x band is okay, but not as good as their last one? No you don’t- you’re a HATER!
Israel vs Palestine. Dawkins vs God. Left vs Right. 0 vs 1. But even in these binary times we’re stumped on where we stand on Harrison Ford vs Shia LaBoeuf .
Last May, Shia “charisma repellent” LaBoeuf gave the fourth Indiana Jones film (Indiana Jones and the CGI Fuck-Up) a slagging-
“I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished. I have a relationship with Steven Spielberg that supercedes our business work. And believe me, I talk to him often enough to know that I’m not out of line. And I would never disrespect the man. But when you drop the ball you drop the ball.”
In a recent interview though, he was called out by Harrison Ford, starting a beef with LaBeouf. His surprisingly un-boring rant was…
“I think he was a fucking idiot. As an actor, I think it’s my obligation to support the film without making a complete ass of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive, and talented – and he's learning how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult.”
Now our automatic reaction is to side with Ford. Han Solo versus the kid from Transformers is a no-brainer, surely? The problem we have is that Shia’s words ring rather true. Lest we forget he’s talking about a film that has successfully given the world the phrase “nuking the fridge” as an alternative to “jumping the shark“.
On the other hand, Ford’s words sound like wise advice for LaBoeuf from the man who was in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Empire Strikes Back and Blade Runner. However he also refers to LaBoeuf as being talented so what the hell does the narky old git know?
See, it’s difficult isn’t it?
