![]() Christopher Plummer waited even longer: he apparently dissed what he called “The Sound of Mucus” for the beloved musical’s 40th anniversary. Mark Wahlberg, for example, made 2008’s The Happening but then publicly said it was “a bad movie” while promoting The Fighter about two years later. Most stars do it after the fact, and mostly because they think the movie in question just isn’t much good. ![]() ![]() (More on that in the video below.)Ĭarrey isn’t the first actor to back-pedal on a project-but he’s still bringing something new into the mix. Mark Millar, the creator of the comic on which Kick-Ass is based, wrote in response to the tweet that the movie is “one of Carrey’s best-ever performances” and he’s “baffled” by what Carrey said, because it’s: (a) a work of fiction, (b) less violent than superhero blockbusters, (c) a movie that spends time talking about the consequences of violence, and (d) about a vigilante, Carrey’s character, who refuses to carry a gun. ![]() “I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,” he wrote, following it up with an apology to his colleagues and the clarification that he was not ashamed of the film itself but, rather, had changed his position on on-screen violence.Īs Alyssa Rosenberg at ThinkProgress points out, Carrey has not elaborated on what exactly he’s bothered by and why-or even what he means by “cannot support.” Some of his fans have suggested that he donate his earnings from the film to a cause related to violence prevention, but consensus seems to be that he will at least refrain from promoting the movie.
