Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?
-
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. I’m 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.
He’s the epitome of “cringe comedy”, the comedy where the goal is to make actions and situations more and more outrageously uncomfortable as the story progresses. Can’t stand that style. I really don’t find him funny at all and avoid his films. Exception being Elf, and the only reason why is that the script doesn’t 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: “I was like, ‘I don’t know, but I know I’ll be famous and I know I’ll make a s- ton of money.’ I had no idea how. I’d done nothing proactive.”
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
-
Chris Pratt's only good films were the Guardians of the Galaxy fims and the Lego Movie and his face wasn't even in one of those.
He was great in Deep in the Valley which is a bad movie.
-
This is the film he did that everyone should judge him by.
It was definitely the film that made me respect him as an actor.
-
A bit player at best.
In his latest role he's basically Walmart Hitler
Dollar store Hitler.
-
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 agree on both. Chalamet is a dickhead. Word was he was a one man Chlamydia vector at NYU.
And I don't get the Nolan worship either. His movies are okay, but not one of them is in my Top 10, probably not even in my Top 20. I don't think I've ever seen any of them more than once. I just never found them compelling enough to want to see it a second time.

Technically, theoretically, on its own, not much.
However: Why is this Celebrity telling my kids what they should be doing/thinking? Why is their way of life so important and such a big deal that they need to talk about it openly, all the time?
(You just play the uno reverse card with everything all the right wing folks say about anything they don't like coming out of a celebs mouth, when they are gay or lesbian or queer or a different religion or promoting a scam product, etc).
Now I'm not gonna run around and actually do that, but I do find it kind of weird. I'd expect that message to come from... you know, a church Father, a local Bishop or something?
