Maybe you are missing the irony. LaBeaf is complaining about "Acting" in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull AFTER "acting" in turds like Transformers 2. Soooo...yeah, still a sellout.

Ooooor not. He was pretty open about Indy, but apparently, he does not want to be too harsh on his cash cow of a "Franchise".

This recent interview seemed to put a positive spin on things talking about him in TF3.

"You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven. But the actor's job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn't do it. So that's my fault."
He knows nobody thinks any actor could've made that monkey scene work. He's lazily thrown in some self-deprication to cover his ass when what he really wants to say is it's all Speilberg's fault. I'm guessing by calling him a @$@%ng idiot Harry meant his backhanded self deprication was obvious and childish. Shia's a snot, read any of his interviews.

That's just your interpretation. I just don't see it that way.
Haters gotta hate.
And again why does Harrison's opinion count, when was the last really good movie he was in? Go look. You'll see nothing sparkling there. AND he always plays himself with few exception.
And he's in that dreadful Empire Strikes Back thing.

Actually the CGI version of Shia LoBuff could have made that scene more believable!

Why should he have to cover his @$$ in the first place when he is giving well deserved criticisism to a garbage film?

Because you just do not burn your bridges. Especially when those bridges are built by REAL Hollywood powerhouses.

Well also to say thing like why ole Megan whatshername everyone loves was fired because of Spielberg and the fact that he was having relations with it while it was married......or dating her now husband..............!
Fodder!

If you have to betray what you believe in to keep those bridges then you do.

I cannot take him seriously when he moans and groans about KotCS when he was in all three Transformers flicks. How is it you can? Good lord, YOU could act in those films. I can think of a lot of scenes in the two TF movies I saw that are on par with the monkey swinging.

To be fair, Shia is just starting out in the movie business with Indy 5 and TF franchise the first movies out of the gate. He was probably contracted to do the TF trilogy so he's sort of stuck doing all three. He's an actor, an employee of the Transformers company. You go to work, and I'm sure your boss asks you to do something you don't necessarily agree with. You may give your opinion about this, but in the end you do what you're asked to do.
As for Harrison Ford criticizing Shia, I thought he was a bit harsh. I don't think what Shia said was particularly damning - just he was presented with something he felt he didn't execute as well as he possibly could, and it reflected on the big screen.
And if we're going to point fingers, I seem to remember a Mr. Ford on Conan on night, obviously drunk, basically saying he'll do another Indy film if the money's right.

To me, that basically says he doesn't care about the integrity or quality of a film, but will shill out to any film company for a paycheck.
I love Harrison Ford, but him criticizing Shia struck me as a 'glass house' sort of thing.

This coming from someone who has an avatar pic of a person that has been in 6 movies and is constantly called " Rooooocccckkkkkkyyyyyyyyyy"
I was far more comfortable knowing that Shai LaDouche was in small,nothing parts/films that few would remember and he would soon dissappear into film history as a "who was that?/nobody".Instead, the fates that be have decided that he can carry a big film franchise and he has(along with a bad scripts/dialog) assisted in sucking hard in film after film.What a disaster.Shai LaDouche couldn't act his way out of a paper bag with matches and 8oz. of gasoline.I still hope in time he will fade away into nothingness that involves film/entertainment.
