Eddie Murphy baffles me... People disliked movies like Meet Dave [2008] or The Adventures of Pluto Nash [2002] that instead I liked.

I also seem to remember Madonna not giving a flying s**t about Who's That Girl?  After it failed at the box office, her only response was a nonchalant, "So it was a flop..."  She then moved on with her life. 

Ben Affleck regrets doing Daredevil.

Clooney also apoligized to Sony for Monument Men, which I did not quite understand (the apology, not the movie).



Bill Murray has trashed Garfield a lot as has George Clooney with Batman & Robin (although with Combat Acadamy and Solaris on his credits I think its unfair to single out that one for abuse ;) ).

Sir Alec Guinness hated Star Wars (1977) but the proceeds from it made him financially independent for life.

From Wikipedia:

Quote
Guinness was quoted as saying that the royalties he obtained from working on the films gave him "no complaints; let me leave it by saying I can live for the rest of my life in the reasonably modest way I am now used to, that I have no debts and I can afford to refuse work that doesn't appeal to me." In his autobiography, Blessings In Disguise, Guinness tells an imaginary interviewer "Blessed be Star Wars", regarding the income it provided.

I've read James Spader did not think highly of STARGATE even when he took it.  Not sure what he thinks now, way after the fact.

FWIW: I LOVED that movie when it first came out.  Still do.  And, I especially dug Spader's characterization of Daniel Jackson.

~ Apparently both Juliette Lewis and Quentin Tarantino who attended a screening together disliked Natural Born Killers and both left the theater halfway through and went to a bar instead.

~ Jennifer Connelly used to bash her movie Phenomena on talk shows.

I love Phenomena!
I knew QT spent a lot of time distancing himself from Natural Born Killers (and I don't blame him) but never heard that about him & Juliette Lewis. Tom Sizemore expressed regrets about being in NBK too - not bashing the movie exactly, but he said he always felt bad about the scene where his character murders a hooker.

natural born killers got bad rap when it came out.  Having seen it again recently, its pretty tame compared to the violence in today's movies.  Also the movie is satire for those that don't know.

I can think of one that seems to be the opposite:

Raul Julia, a fantastic actor, relishing his role in the crappy Street Fighter movie in 1994, because his kids were fans of the video games/cartoons related to Street Fighter, and he wanted to do this for them personally as they were stoked when they heard a film was being made.  He's the best part of the film.

I think it's fair to say Raul Julia is the best part of other films as well.

Perhaps not known as well in the "mainstream," he'd rank as a truly underrated actor in my opinion.

In a last minute decision, Matthew Modine had to switch roles with Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights (1990). The only reason Modine signed up for the movie was because he was promised to play the bad guy, but Keaton got the part instead. Modine wasn't happy about that, and sort of bashed the movie afterwards.

I heard that Val Kilmer disowned Top Secret: I can't think why.
Yeah, I laughed my galaxy spanning a$$ off at that flick.

Another consideration: Actors who, like John Carradine happily took what ever pay they could get and had no illusions of doing Shakespear, and maybe some who just never realized what they were doing (Calling Ed Wood).






John Carradine hated VOODOO MAN (1944).

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
