He does not have all his marbles. And it's becoming increasingly and exponentially evident
Because he gave a bad interview? You've been campaigning against Harrison since before KOTCS came out. I don't know why in all honesty - but, you're a Mod so I can't really question you. "Increasingly and exponentially evident." For every awkward and sluggish interview you can pull up, I can pull up one which is totally normal, and energetic; for every awkward and sluggish interview you can pull up from the past year, I can pull up an awkward and sluggish one from the 1980s and 1990s.
Harrison Ford has never, with perhaps the exception of 1977, been a consistently good interviewee. He's socially awkward. He's goofy. He's a bit weird and probably is on the Autistic Spectrum or suffers from social anxiety, if we're making diagnoses here. You KNOW this, just as well as I do. You know Harrison Ford is a pretty odd guy when he's not on the big screen. But you cherry pick. You'll pull up that one goofy eyed gif again and again, and ignore every good picture, or make some handwaving comment; you don't respond to any energetic, really invested interviews. Those don't fit the narrative you're trying to push, so I understand why you'd ignore them.
I'm sorry if it comes off disrespectful, but it really does seem, at times, like you hate Harrison Ford.
You can deny it if you want, but I don't go around trying to get an actor I like pushed off a project. You campaign and try to shove down everyone else's throat that he's not supposed to be in this film, and the implication is that anyone who doesn't share your opinion is wrong, stupid, and a person who "puts actor over character."
I don't go around spreading really cruel rumors about actors I like, or even ones I don't like (saying he has Alhzheimer's is very cruel, and diminishes the absolute horror that that disease is). It comes off really petty on your end, again, no offense meant, but to go
there, saying, as if it is absolute fact, that he has an incurable, progressive, wasting brain disease that is like a living death, simply because you don't want him to play Indy again? Pretty low blow. Very low.
Harrison Ford is a known, massive pothead. He's been so for decades. He also probably does other drugs as most in Hollywood do. My dad is 63 - ten years younger than Harrison roughly - and he couldn't tell you my birthday if you asked him. He couldn't even tell you his own parents' birthdays. He sometimes has trouble with names, or with other things of that soft. He doesn't have Alzheimer's; been checked. He simply smokes Pot.
I don't smoke Pot and sometimes I couldn't tell you what I had for dinner last night.
If Harrison Ford had Alzheimer's, do you think the studio would be able to insure him for a big budget, massive film like Blade Runner?
I'm sorry but, as someone whose worked with older people, and seen the ravaging, absolutely nightmarish effects that disease can wreck on someone, it really does, in all seriousness, strike me as a very low, low blow to say someone has it simply because you don't like them or don't want them being in a movie. It's cruel.
