Harrison Ford Was Against Celebrities Talking Politics Before He Was For It

Ford also praised Swedish teen-age anti-climate-change activist Greta Thunberg during a recent public appearance, during which he criticized “our lack of moral leadership” and lamented that “Science is being ridiculed by people in ideological campgrounds.”

Ford didn’t mention Trump specifically during a clip published by the Associated Press on Thursday, February 6, but appeared to refer to him.

Ford took a different tack on commenting about public affairs when interviewed in 1997 by George, a magazine founded by John F. Kennedy Jr. that published from 1995 to 2001.

Kennedy, who wrote the article, asked Ford about his interest in Tibet’s subjugation by China, and elicited half a comment from him about Cuba before Ford stopped himself.

“These kinds of loose lips I have no respect for, in myself or anybody else. These are important issues, and I don’t feel these kinds of conversations are worthwhile. I’d prefer to see the debate over important issues conducted by experts rather than by celebrities. I also don’t want to attract attention to myself,” Ford said, according to the article in the August 1997 issue of George.

Later in the article, Kennedy quoted Ford as saying:

“I don’t talk about religion, politics, or money – by breeding and training.”

Another quote from Ford:

Great research from my favorite new conservative news source. Ford's old comments about his non-political "breeding" have not been reported anywhere else since 1997.

After Paul McCartney praised and hugged Hillary in New York at a fundraiser (yes I felt the barf coming on) Mick Jagger said “Some music people express their political preferences. I don’t think that’s what I want to do.”

About a year later Nov.16, 2016 he said Europeans are mystified by Trump winning. Since then he trashed Trump and said people should get involved in bring him down.

How much of this movie’s money is from China?

China loves to use the “climate change” club on dumb Americans.

Ford’s buttons are being pushed.

When he put that earring on, it changed him.

Kind of like the ‘The One Ring’ from “Lord of the Ring” made anyone who had possession crazy mad evil.

You know a typical democrat.

I’m putting Harrison and Brad Pitt out to pasture, among others.

These folks are just actors. Not to long ago actors were considered just one step above whores. So again why should we give their any weight?

Knocking knees with the skeleton he is married to has apparently changed his point of view. I wanted to see his new movie but alas I just can’t. GFY Harrison.

Ford hit his head too hard in his latest plane crash.

His latest movie turns a good story into a joke. The CGI dog is ridiculous.

Thanks for the "man on the street" review. Probably saved me about $50-$75, between dinner and two tickets. Just need to convince the wife that there really is nothing worth paying money for this week.

‘The Call of the Wild’ Review: Arctic Meltdown

A CG pooch is the liveliest part of a production that otherwise goes to the dogs.

They got it all wrong in “The Call of the Wild,” a woefully inept retelling, or re-re-retelling, of the Jack London story about a comfortably domesticated California dog named Buck finding his true feral self in the Yukon during the Gold Rush. This latest iteration of Buck is so lifelike, thanks to the wonders of computer animation, and the people around him are such lifeless caricatures, that the studio should have given the pooch the gift of speech and kept the humans mercifully mute.

He drank the Hollywood kool-aid. He became just another liberal puke.
