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!
None. I dislike some actors, but so many other people pour part of themselves into these things and influence each other when developing them that it’s impossible for me to not have at least some curiosity.
Mel Gibson.
This is the first one I agree with. Everybody else, they’ve had good ones, and they’ve had bad ones, but their name alone doesn’t ruin anything for me.
I’ve heard there’s some weird stuff around Leto, so that might be worth avoiding him, but I never really paid attention, and I don’t think about that guy at all.
Boss Level looked interesting. When I found out he was in it…nope.
I just can’t believe he asked Winona Ryder if she was an “oven dodger.” Wtf
I renamed my cat because of this guy. I don’t really like to change animals names from what it was at the shelter in case they’re used to it, and I have a cat named Mel, who I suspect was named for him because there was another nearby cat in the shelter he came from named “Gibson”.
So I’ve renamed him after Mel Brooks.
Its common for shelters to name the pets themselves, as they don’t always come with one. They might have just been going down common famous names with no real intent behind it. My cat was originally named Miami, and her brothers and sisters all had american city names too.
Absolutely. Take your bigoted self and go away Mel.
I’m sad that I like a film of him, ‘We were soldiers’.
But I like the film because my dad took me to the cinema to see it, not because of the film itself.
Childhood’s trauma stuff and shits, that’s how it is and too bad it’s a Mel Gibson movie 🤷🏻♂️
I loved that film as it was a good film. Even Mel’s baggage can’t wreck it. Sam Elliott’s character was brilliant especially.
Jonah hill
Kevin Hart
Ryan Reynolds (other than Deadpool)
Will Smith, after that slapping Chris Rock nonsense
Oh and (am Asian and tried to give her a chance but) Akwafina makes me cringe
Honorable mention: Adam Sandler makes me very wary. I get that he likes making movies with friends, but goddang his lows are low. Although recently I thought Uncut Gems was good
Awkwafina is good in the new black mirror.
Agree with the Awkwafina sentiment, I think for me it’s that she got famous for her music/comedy (not sure which had the most impact in her career) then slipped into acting like Kevin Hart and other comedians tend to do.
Not that it shouldn’t be done, but I feel like she hasn’t really proven herself on screen. Also, the Awkwafina moniker is a bit detrimental if being taken seriously on stage is her goal.
Holy shit idk how I forgot to mention Kevin Hart!
Seriously with Will Smith. How am I supposed to see him in some emotional role with depth when all I see is a fragile man who can’t manage his own ego.
Uncut Gems was a damn masterpiece, pure stress and anxiety from start to finish. He deserved an Oscar nom for that at the least.
I +1 that Will Smith sentiment.
I feel like a hypocrite somewhat, since I’m aware of other actors who did far worse things and yet I’m not as put off in a similar manner. I guess it’s easier to separate the art from the artist in some people more than others…
He was great in action/comedy big blockbuster flicks but that Oscar slap made him super insecure and uncool. Like he lost his swag. Will Smith doesn’t sell that he’s That Guy anymore
Jared Leto
Oh another Tron movie! Oh it’s Jared Leto…
NiN doing the soundtrack though. Tempting
My exact thoughts. Sigh.
For the most part I’d agree. But he was honestly pretty good in Dallas Buyers Club. Most everything else I can think of is shit.
What about American Psycho, I thought he was fine in that?
Indeed. Forgot about that one.
Saw him in real life once… he yelled “shut your mouths” to his fans chanting for him to come outside. His whole appearance that day and how he treated those around him has forever made me dislike him.
I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.
It probably helped that he had a relatively minor role in it too. The face of his faction of characters in the film was Luv
All credit goes to the director, as Denis gets top notch performances from every single person in his films.
Henry Cavill. I’ve got nothing against him, I just can’t stand his face.
I CANT STAND THAT I DONT GET TO TOUCH HIS FACE
Fuck cavill wolverine i want devito
I have that face thing with Patrick Swayze and Meryl Streep. And the girl from Dirty Dancing. I am working on getting over Jennifer Lawrence’s face. All these people are surely somewhat good actors but there is something about their faces that I cannot stand and it makes it impossible for me to focus on the plot. I just made it through Silver Linings Playbook today, finally, it was hard but I am glad I managed, Lawrence did a good job and I forgot about her face for almost 30% of the time. One day I will manage to watch more than 15 minutes of Dirty Dancing.
Is it the jaw/chin? How about Kurt Russell, Bruce Campbell, Jay Leno, Wings Hauser, Richard Kiel or Robert Z’Dar?
No, the people you mentioned are fine. I think it is something with the nose-chin-cheek combo that I find appalling.
For Jennifer Lawrence it’s a separate thing, we have many similar features (like fat cheeks and hooded eyes) and it creeps me out too much and I get insecure watching her. I keep thinking how weird I must look and reevaluate my makeup the whole time, it’s too stressful.
I also have a thing where I can’t stop thinking of rooster anuses whenever I see Kevin Bacon (his mouth).
I want to emphasize that none of this is meant in a mean spirited way and those people are beautiful the way they are. It’s my brain that makes these associations and I very much disapprove of them.
No reason to be ashamed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that’s a good thing. But it also means that you can never please everyone. You are happiest when you accept yourself as you are. And never compare you with Hollywood.
My text reads like fortune cookie advice, but it is meant honestly. Have a nice day.
Shia LeBeouf, though he’s mostly gone away at this point.
He’s awesome in Fury, as everyone is in that movie
That movie changed my mind on Jon Bernthal, he was so good in it. I had only seen him in the first season of Walking Dead and thought he was pretty bad. I think most of that was just the show though, the dialogue was terrible.
The walking dead is ridiculously awful. Theres always a show like that out though. Yellowstone was pretty recent. Greys anatomy. Right now I think 911 qualifies. Horrible writing but somehow crazy popular.
That was a surprise, usually hate him
He’s following you, about 30 feet back.
Actual cannibal, Shia LeBeouf…
Well, now I need to watch it again.
Normal Tuesday night.
JUST DO IT
Hugh Grant. I’m sure he’s both a wonderful person and a great actor, but… he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He’s become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.
I’d recommend watching Heretic. I thought he crushed it as a bad guy. I also liked him in The Gentleman. Both are far from his Notting Hill and Two Weeks Notice romcom type stuff.
Wtf, Hugh Grant as a bad guy? I’m intrigued.
Yes, that Oompa Loompa was nasty.
I watched this when I had covid and holy shit i was not in a fit mental state to deal with hugh grant oompa loompas
He’s great as a villain in Heretic and, oddly enough, in Paddington too.
Dungeons and Dragons, Heretic, Paddington 2…
He’s been doing a lot of villain movies recently and he is FANTASTIC at being the bad guy!
I agree that he is awful as the main character though… I want to see him defeated!!!
Yes heretic was pretty good, recommended.
Try Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I love Hugh in that movie and I’m not really a Hugh Grant guy either.
Yeah, I never really liked him before, but I’m down with his recent villain arc.
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”.
Tom Cruise I just don’t like anything about him
Will Smith, because he’s annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air
Be glad Will Smith turned down being Neo in The Matrix… To do Wild Wild West!
I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception
Minority report was pretty damn solid too. Knght and day wasn’t bad for guilty pleasure
I enjoyed watching Tom Cruise die over and over and over and over and over.
I’m just here to watch the bird people fuck
I am no fan of Tom Cruise, but his performance in Tropic Thunder is a god damned masterpeice
Take a step back, and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
I liked Tom a lot in Collateral. Such a great movie.
That and Magnolia.
I don’t have a problem with Tom Cruise as an actor, but ever since my daughter pointed it out, I can’t help staring at his tooth.
If you stare too deeply into the tooth, the tooth stares back into you.
Toofs
Nope. Toof. Singular.
He has a front tooth. Where most of the rest of us have two upper front teeth, co-captains of the mouth, he has one right there in the middle.
My one co captain tooth is in front of another despite years of braces :( slowly leading to a central tooth and worries that I’ll have to get the misplaced one removed
Wait until you watch Legend and see his teeth before he had work done.
Hate the person, love the actor. He’s made loads of good movies, so I can’t complain
Charlie Hunnam is not good, has a silly face, and cannot deliver lines.
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.
Oof a lot of ppl like him
I dunno, I enjoyed the hell out of his acting in Sons of Anarchy
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
Seth Rogan
Will Farrell’s later stuff
Vince Vaughn
Vince Vaughn was perfectly cast for Bad Monkey, IMO. He fit the role well, so he worked well for it.
He’s solid (in my opinion) in Brawl in Cell Block 99 also, as one of his non-comedy roles.
Rogan’s ok in something that’s written for him, otherwise he stick out like a seth rogan sized dogs bollock
I don’t switch anything off faster than when Danny McBride shows up
I used to think he was just a crass asshole but after watching and then loving Righteous Gemstones, he grew on me. Gemstones is such a crazy, hilarious, and satisfying show and the fact that he created/showran it changed my mind about him
Eastbound and down is pretty wild too. His sense of humor is always one step ahead of me for some reason and it works.
Two things I can stand him in: tropic thunder and this is the end.
This is the end just isn’t a very good movie IMO. Tropic thunder is fantastic though.
It has its moments, but yeah it’s a complete vanity stoner film. Which is perfect when i desire cinematic junk food
For me, it was American Ultra. Couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes.
Will Ferrell. He gives me the creeps and he isn’t funny.
He plays an immature man-child in almost every single role. I didn’t find it funny the first time and I haven’t found it funny the 50th.
Jenna Ortega. For awhile I only saw her name in poor bastardizations of my favourite childhood media and it has soured me on her work entirely.
