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.
I don’t care for “Home Alone 2” star Donald Trump
A bit player at best.
In his latest role he’s basically Walmart Hitler
Dollar store Hitler.
This gave new an idea.
Donald currently enjoys erasing history - rewriting slavery, removing BIPOC accomplishments, etc. What if we start removing him from old media? Re-record a version of that movie that didn’t have Trump in it, erase old copies of The Apprentice, etc.
Or just cut out the scene from the existing movie and start spreading the edit via bittorrent.
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.

I apologise if this seems inappropriate, but I kinda like your wife now. And you for putting that argument up in the first place.
Vin Diesel. Nothing against the guy personally, but his whole dumb guy thing just irks me.
better than rock, lol, rock was such camera whore.(all those complaints against him during 2F2F.
Those complaint were the start of the Rock’s non-wrestling acting career. Nowadays he sundowns series that execs are convinced they can still make money on, taking up a lead role and ruining any chance of another decent sequel.
Danny McBride. I can grit my teeth if he’s playing a small role, 30 Minutes or Less was pushing the limit, but he so often plays the same insufferable, arrogant asshole and he plays it too well.
Used to be different but Jack Black needs to go away. Every time I see him in something its the same character over and over, pudgy loser that plays air guitar and scats at every opportunity cause he’s all quirky like that.
I can’t stand him, and my feeling is he’s a twat as well
He’s like Adam Sandler in some of his roles, too. Pudgy loser man… married to or dating a knock out super model.
Him and Pratt need to go away for a while
I totally agree.
Also I just saw your user name and I started imagining a movie pitch in my head and laughed. Thank you for making my day
Adam Sandler. I personally feel that his humour is aimed at school children - making silly faces and silly voices and basically making fun of the disabled or neuroatypical - but it’s marketed to adults.
But I like 50 First Dates. He’s mostly not a shouting toddler in that.
I thought Sandler in Uncut Gems was pretty good. It’s a serious role, that made me rethink all of the campy comedies he’s done.
“50 first dates” is such an anomoly. That’s the first Adam Sandler film I ever saw and it was years before I realized why i was getting side-eyed saying I liked his movies. Click was ok too, clearly more for his usual audience though.
Owen Wilson. He has one tone and always looks spaced out.
Wow.
Pretty tired of seeing Chris Pratt’s face everywhere. His early career was great, but I find him obnoxious these days
Perfect for parks and rec and guardians 1. Everything since then has just been typical Hollywood overuse. “People like him let’s put him in everything!”
Hollywood overuse. “People like him let’s put him in everything!”
I mean, I blame the audience more than Hollywood, the same reason why we get a lot of reboots and sequels instead of new movies, or the same reason why Netflix account sharing killing strategy worked.
The dislike shouldn’t be completely headed to the actor nor Hollywood.
Also you got me thinking, would people that didn’t see him in the older stuff like those you mentioned and are tired of him will roll their eyes if they decide to watch them just now?
hes also a right wing nuttie, which lowers his likability
I’ve heard this a lot but every time I look into it is always just him being religious.
he supports his alt-right brother who attends a fundie church as well, and he shares in his beliefs, although not as explicitily as his brother.
That man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
1000%
Can you elaborate? Not casting doubt, just admitting ignorance.
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.

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?
Do you have any experience with Christianity? It is by nature evangelical. You are supposed to share your message with others. Different denominations stress this to different degrees
Yeah, I was raised by fundamentalist extremists who were really into the militia movement back in the 90s.
Had to go no contact with them as they became insane QAnon cultists who illegally mfg full auto capable assault rifles in their garages.
I actually did not grow up too far from where Chris did.
Lets just say he grew up even further out in the boonies than I did.
Will Smith and his one facial expression.
Nathan Fillion
Campy actor from campy shows that people made their personalities for lack of better alternatives.

Leo DiCaprio. No exceptions. The movies he’s been in that I’ve enjoyed were enjoyed despite him and not because of him.
His entire approach to a character is to put on an over-the-top accent and call it a day. I’ve never had the sense that any of his characters were the actual character and weren’t just “Leo with an accent”. I’ll be fair and say that he has improved in recent years, with movies like The Revenant being tolerable.
But holy shit, how his career went anywhere when people saw his “acting” in Titanic and especially Romeo and Juliet, is mind-boggling to me.
“What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”… of course he’s very young… good stuff.

Have you seen The Basketball Diaries?
Didn’t like inception or shutter island?
Not as much as I would have liked them with someone else in the lead role. Especially Shutter Island. It’s one of my favourite books and Dicaprio ruined it with his usual overly affected New York accent straight out of SNL.
Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don’t realize it’s him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.
I agree, but I’ll watch Edge of Tomorrow or Oblivion if they’re on.
Edge of Tomorrow is just Tom Cruise getting killed over and over again. It’s great for people who hate Tom Cruise!
I would say his role in Magnolia is the exception.
Chris Pratt, I never got why he’s famous. I was never a fan anything he did he just seemed like a one trick pony. (Be the dumb/funny chubby guy) then he did Guardians of the Galaxy and yes I did enjoy it but that’s about it. And with him being casted in almost everything lately I’m done with him.
Same. Aside from parks and rec and guardian films, pretty much avoid his trash. He’s also a super judgemental religious nut.
Yes I’ve heard that he is a religious nut job and a dick to fans too. Give it time and he will be the next Kevin Sorbo.
oh, he got into acting through nepotism, by his wife. and he complained about not get more leadership roles, because that seems to be a thing for right wing actors, they love been cop/leaders/military leader. i find it funny he thinks he was good for star TREK. just like with MS gal gadot.
Jessie eisenberg. He only plays jessie Eisenberg. I hate his whiny delivery. The “Now you see me” movies were awful, and he ruined Lex Luthor.
I can’t think of anything he’s been in that I’ve thought was good.
(Nicholas hoult as LL looks great though)
