Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?
-
For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.
Sean Penn, Adam Driver and this fart:

Fuck (and I cannot emphasize this enough) fuck Timothy Chalamet. He is always so wooden. He can't act for shit. Hes just a very pretty nepo baby.
Also, can we count film makers? I hate Christopher Nolan. Every movie he makes is such a torturous slog. They are all metaphors for their own creation, and everyone of them is too concerned with the machinery, like hes pretentiously drawing attention to it. "GET IT? IM MAKING A MOVIE? IM A FUCKING GENIUS!"

I couldn't stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven't minded the guy.
I love watching him in the stupid repetitive action flicks! The whole genre is great entertainment when you want to just see something total garbage, and he's my favorite lead for them because he has the vibe of doing it ironically. Sometimes the actors are too serious and that kinda ruins the fun

Tenet frustrated me. You could tell that there was a good movie there but the sound mixing was horrible and the execution was lacking.

Have you seen The Basketball Diaries?
This is the film he did that everyone should judge him by.
-
I cannot, for the life of me understand the appeal of Russell Crowe. Except I have no problem with his brutish density in L.A. Confidential.
Have you seen The Nice Guys?
-
My wife laothes Tom Cruise. Hard stop. No exceptions. I don't have any problems with him as an actor, the Scientology insanity is a whole other matter.
...maybe one exception: I was able to talk her into seeing Edge of Tomorrow by telling her that he dies 26 times on-screen and countless times off-screen.
Have her watch Tropic Thunder and dont mention his cameo. Its his best work.
-
Ben Stiller. I just can't get into anything he's in. He's just reading lines, nepo-baby for sure.
Exceptions: dodgeball, and tropic thunder, holy FUCK is he funny in tropic thunder
You know he wrote Tropic Thunder and Zoolander?
-
Ryan Reynolds. The exception would be Waiting. Iām just so over him and his one dimensional acting.
Watch "Voices" as it is very different and much darker than his normal work.
-
Jeremy Renner.
Has he ever actually been good in anything (besides the Jeremy Renner app and his legendary rock and roll music)?
The Hurt Locker?
-
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Although I wouldn't call him an actor. So I'm not sure if I answered the question.
If he isn't an actor what is he? Remember acting is a significant part of pro wrestling. You can argue he is a bad actor but it is silly to say he isnt an actor

Will Farrell
Vince Vaughn
Seth Rogan
All there are annoying as shit.
Vaughn plays against type in Freaky which was pretty good.
-
Will Ferrell. He might be the most unpopular actor here? Quite a few mentions.
Heās the epitome of ācringe comedyā, the comedy where the goal is to make actions and situations more and more outrageously uncomfortable as the story progresses. Canāt stand that style. I really donāt find him funny at all and avoid his films. Exception being Elf, and the only reason why is that the script doesnāt allow him much room to act the way he usually does. He has to expend effort.
Farrell isn't doing cringe comedy. Cringe comedy plays off extreme discomfort of the audience so that's more Ricky Gervais or Gary Shandling and perhaps the best example of it is Gary Shandling being interviewed by Gervais
-
Oddly enough he had the worst Bostonian accent out of the whole cast. He sucks out loud and so does his acting.
He's from Foxboro which isn't that close to Boston.
Also as an aside most people do terrible Boston accents and pronounce the city as "BAW-Ston" in said terrible accent. It should be "BAA-ston"
-
hes also a right wing nuttie, which lowers his likability
Is he or is he a traditional non-fascist conservative like his father in law Arnold Schwarzenegger?
-
He's a Republican from WA who makes a very big deal about his Christian Faith.
He will "pray for you" if you "don't understand him", he teamed up with Marky Mark to ... promote Lent observance... he has ... either previously not been that much of a religious person but then had a literal Come to Jesus moment... or he's been pretty religious the whole time and was downplaying it in the earlier days of his career.
He also may or may not have been a congregant at the Hillsong church, which is pretty anti-LGBTQ.

Generally speaking, he comes across like you would expect someone to when they're from an abusive religious family:
He comes across as basically an insecure, nervous wreck who does not not know how to properly 'perform' Christianity for both his family and older friends, as well as the broader and more diverse world... so the result is basically an awkward or maybe 'quirky' kind of machismo.
Dude is your quintessential performative masculine dude bro, a meathead.

His wrestling coach asked him what he wished to do with his life, and Pratt recalled: āI was like, āI donāt know, but I know Iāll be famous and I know Iāll make a s- ton of money.ā I had no idea how. Iād done nothing proactive.ā
He's Joe Rogan, but more Christian, more feckless.
What's wrong with promoting the observance of Lent among those that believe in Christianity? Ideally it is supposed to make you think about the value of self sacrifice and appreciate when others have made sacrifices for you.
He is not part of Hillsong but rather an affiliated church which is also problematic.

I've hated that fucking guy since the days of My So Called Life.
I was surprised he had an acting career past that. Dallas Buyers Club proved why he has a career as he's incredible in it. He was also a solid Paul Owen in American Psycho but anyone who is very good looking who could play an empty vapid person would have done well with that role.
-
Woody Allen. Everything about the way he acts just makes my skin crawl.
He's great in Casino Royale where he plays a feckless loser who is treated as one by David Niven who plays James Bond.
-
Jared Leto. All his best roles are the ones that could have been better, if they were played by someone else.
Who would you cast in his place in Dallas Buyers Club?
-
Is there a movie where he (Wahlberg) doesn't play "Jersey boy who made good"? I feel like it's always the same character with a different job facing a different crisis.
You think Wahlberg is a Jersey boy? What country do you come from? He has an incredibly noticeable Massachusetts accent which isn't anything like New Jersey's accent
