For me it’s The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he’s in!

    Anthony Mackie

    He has zero charisma and was largely responsible for bringing down the quality of Altered Carbon S2 (though the writers did him no favours) and was the most boring part of The Falcon & Winter Soldier.

    I couldn’t bring myself to watch the new Captain America movie mainly because of him being in the lead role.

      Whole heartedly agree.

      His Black Mirror episode was also probably the most fucked up episode, and not in the fucked up way I want my Black Mirror episodes.

    I’m surprised to see no Chris Pratt (or CP, as he likes to be called) in this thread.

    But Chris Pratt for me.

    Not a specific performer, but I avoid the It Girl stuff like the plague.

    Sydney Sweeney, Jenna Ortega, Selina Gomez, those types where they’re going to be super hot products for a few years while they’re young and then they fall off once they age out of prime fuckability. I find it super disturbing, it’s like a sword is hovering over them.

    Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. I hope none of you have ever heard of them. They are just bad at acting and the movies where one of them is the director are just horrible… and still they are in sooo many german movies.

    Kevin Hart- doesn’t act, plays himself but doesn’t lean into that like Ryan Reynolds does. Will Smith- more of the above in recent years Jonah Hill- something inside me screams asshole every time I look at him Tom Cruise- he can take his propaganda elsewhere.

      Jonah hill isn’t a shitty person for not wanting to be referred to as the fat comedian. People only saw him in his personal life in shitty interviews and thats why people think hes an asshole.

      Check out the Edgar wright interview, they were very aware of it even when superbad was just coming out. FYI that interview is a bit.

        I will definitely take a look at that! Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that this was because of weight. He just ends up coming off as very snooty in a lot of his serious roles to me. He gives villain vibes in those roles, genuinely never watched an interview of him personally tbh.

          Apologies I was referring more to popular opinion than your specific opinion. I can’t think of a movie that fits the word snooty though, do you have an example? I could maybe see that from the movie “Don’t worry, he won’t get far on foot”.

      It’s true he’s been awful since Queer as Folk, but if you’ve heard his normal speaking voice in The Gentlemen it’s kind of understandable that his character accents always sound a bit forced.

      I think that’s honestly why I think he’s fun. His king Arthur movie is a hardcore guilty pleasure as someone who enjoys the actual king Arthur myths…

      Why the fuck did they try to make him a superhero???

      It’s just blind stupid fun but they don’t have an ego attached like the rocks movies do

      But Schweiger provides so much entertainment value! Especially when someone publically disapproves of him or his work, and he totally escalates!

    I mean there’s a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:

    • Danny Masterson
    • Bill Cosby
    • Kevin Spacey
    • James Franco
    • Kevin Sorbo
    • Tom Cruise

    So it’s not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.

    For the dumbest reasons, I can’t enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she’s absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain’t great. I also didn’t enjoy Heather Graham’s acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock’s acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.

      Kevin Spacey has been great or straight up magnificent consistently, lol, is it the moral aspect that disturbs you? I firmly believe (and evidence keeps piling up!) that most Hollywood actresses were couch casted, many boys were touched and the cycle repeats. The entire entertainment industry is compromised and has been for years (check out who taught Diddy his tricks). Nvm the “Hollywood accounting” too, money laundering and all of that.

      Basically, if you’re enjoying American media, odds are it was made by someone who’s gonna go straight to Hell, no “Go” no 200 bucks, and bigger odds than whoever is making money out of your purchase/rental is going to an even lower circle, lol. Just pirate it and you take away your contribution to amorality, right?

        A lot of actors are terrible people but Kevin Spacey specifically seems to play it up irl for some reason?

        After he got booted for the whole thing he started making videos on his YouTube channel telling the world that he would come for them and that they would regret hurting him while in character as a villain from projects he’s worked in in the past.

        He’s the only actor I know of that knows exactly why people don’t want to see him and continues to play into that specifically for some reason…

          His accusers started dying shortly after he uploaded those videos. Enough so, that the rest dropped their lawsuits.

      Which Rock movies aren’t shite? I recall enjoying the Rundown, but that was also well before reaching the current saturation point

        lol dude, I watched Baywatch, San Andreas, Rampage, SkyScraper, Jumanji and Central Intelligence from what I remember with my ex. I swear to God those movies get blurred in my mind due to his “samey” character/acting.

        I think some of the movies you could argue that aren’t shite of the Rock’s are Rundown, Jumanji, Moana, and maybe some of the Fast and Furious movies. Although, I never really watched those (I’ve only see the first) but other people seem to enjoy them.

      I had an internal laugh to myself in the Wonder Woman movie when the Amazons had an Israeli accent. I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.

        Oh, he went right-wing religious. I think he was a Jan 6th denier/supporter saying it was antifa. His views on atheists was weird. Like, when he did the Gods Not Dead movie and he was playing an “atheist” he was like, I had to get into the mind of an atheist and be the most despicable person or something.

        He’s been a bit looney on Twitter for a while now.

        Although I haven’t checked in for a while. I haven’t checked since awkward Hitler took over.

      Yeah she just comes across as a pretentious little child who knows better than you. And I even agree with her on some things.

      I will actively avoid anything of hers in the future.

    Melissa McCarthy does that for me. It’s getting better, but for the longest time I’d see an interview with her about some project and she’s funny, charming, intelligent, and convinces me to check it out. Then I would watch the thing and it’s like “Haha fat girl poopoo fart.” .

      The only two things I can say that I enjoy her in are Spy and Only Murders in the Building.

      In both cases the rest of the movie/show carries her but she doesn’t actively make them worse like she does with 90% of the stuff I’ve ever seen her in…

    The Rock is definitely overused, but he f****** killed it in the Rundown with Sean William Scott. I love Sean Williams Scott
