Because it couldn't be possible that he liked the films. Not for DCINB at least. :wink:
When he calls the movies s**t is he despicable and when he backpedals, I don't see how we can't take this as some furious backpedaling, he is a upstanding citizen whose word must not be questioned. :lol:
I never said he was despicable. :lol: My genuine reaction to the false article was "oh well, it's his career".

I believe he's proud of being a part of the Bond legacy, I mean what sane actor wouldn't be?

I wasn't specifically talking about your comments, I haven't read them all so I don't know what you in particular had say. Just the overall over protective fan knee-jerk reaction.

Seems to be case of wanting the cake and eating it too. When he dissed the movies he was a bad man and when he kisses the right amount of ass he is a proud actor of a fine tradition. It's ridiculous.

I'd have to see the original source which if real would be a small venue he never thought would go any further when it did he had to kiss and make nice to keep working in big pictures. Although he does seem to give more merit to smaller screen Danish films.

It is ridiculous. Look at who opened up with hit piece on Jesper when it looked like he was taking a s**t on the series. The title was he won't be back implying his comments made him unwelcome. What kind of crap is that? Then going further to say they know of cut scene that will be on dvd soon where Mr White gets killed. What did that have to do with anything? It is petty fanboy nonsense.


When Jesper takes back his comments the same fanboys point his words out as some sort of vindication. I don't know what the truth is but it is obvious one group of fans jumped the gun started off by trying to blackball a actor and it wasn't the people on this site.

As far as I know, Mr. White does not die in the scene that got cut. Bond walks into his apartment with Mr. White waiting inside, it ends with White shooting down Bond and leaving him for dead, kind of like the FRWL cliffhanger in the novel. The reason it got cut was that so that the makers of Bond 23 wouldn't have to be tied up having to resolve it and go whatever direction they want. Had the ending remained intact, Mr. White would have had to at least make another appearance, but since that didn't happen it's up to the writers whether they want to include him back or not.

I agree with Jesper (first time round) in that QOS is s**t.

Either Jesper actually did say it, then was advised by his agent to do a 180 degree u turn quickly, as it would be bad for his career.
Or he didn't say it, and it was the press doing their usual fabrications again.

But who really cares anyway.....he is not exactly a major player in the Bond franchise, or a huge movie star in Hollywood, so it's just another slow day with the newspapers again. Reporting trivial crap and making it bigger than what it is.

Very slow news days. They are reporting Craig is married when he is not.

Problem with this story is MI6, first they didn't link to the original source but that is the least of their sins. Their main sin is they made it good tabloid fodder by adding themselves into the story instead of just reporting it/ relaying the information and by becoming the source of the news for other idiot movie websites. Poor Benny is having an allergic reaction to his precious site contradicting the company line.

This guy more than likely did say it, but so what. He isn't the first and will not be the last. Funny for a liberal as Hollywood tires to position themselves, they are not beyond blacklisting actors if they are the wrong political persuasion or the more common if they commit the most grievous sin of doing or saying something that cost them money. You'll never see any actor slagging off Hollywood unless they are retiring or devoting themselves entirely to small indie films.


Although if this guy had slagged of Brozza and DAD the same click of stooges would be talking about who wonderful it is to see someone speak their mind.

I didn't know you cared.
Though you seem to have an interest in the goings on at Mi6. As you'll be aware it's one of the most popular Bond sites in the world.

Yes, he was a real dick about it too, giving one little boy his autograph only on the condition that he never watched Star Wars again. When I worked at a Walgreens in South Carolina, many of my co-workers were highly qualified people forced by circumstances into doing jobs that were beneath them, yet most of them bore it with far more dignity and grace than Sir Alec showed on this occasion.

I forgot about what a jerk Alec Guiness was.
But I kind of get it, here is this poorly written mix of mythologies that becomes a cult phenomenon and nobody remember who he was beside Ben Kenobi.
Alec Guiness died in 2000 and as a kid I thought he died right after Jedi nobody heard much from him.
MR White is saying it was all a joke that the press took seriously. I don't think that is the case here. Its a excuse and not a very good one

I could understand him getting annoyed with adults who only knew him as Obi-Wan, but that little kid was probably not old enough to fully appreciate such masterpieces as The Ladykillers, Bridge on the River Kwai or Kind Hearts and Coronets anyway. Is giving pleasure to young audiences such a terrible thing?

Alec Guiness tarnished his legacy by being such a dick. Young or young at heart it didn't matter what movie they enjoyed an actor's performance from. We all know Connery isn't all that happy with the Bond recognition but far as I know he has never been a dick to his fans.

Yes, but if the Star Wars OT are the only films of Sir Alec's you've seen, then you're missing out on some great movies, including the ones I mentioned above.

I loved Bridge of the Rive Kwai! Murder By Death was another good on of his.

Alec Guiness was a great actor but the Star War eclipsing his other works ticked him off, I think that was the reason for Mr White mouthing off. HE does a bunch of other small budget films he is proud of and everyone will always say isn't that MR White, he doesn't like the movie or the role and would rather people know him from his other movies.

I'd love for a story like Guiness has telling a kid who watched CR 100 times to promise to never watch it again to the mothers relief :lol:

But no, the stars should be extremely thankful for anyone who enjoys their work. Brosnan gets recognized all the time for various things and is always nice and polite. Hell he is teaching the Twilight punk how to act around people, just show how classy Pierce is.

Sonehow, I don't think the two are equivalent. Mr. White is nowhere near as iconic a role as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Which is why the Rifftrax commentary for CR simply referred to him as "THAT guy" throughout.

I was juts thinking of Mr White's motivation not to compare the movies to star wars
