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.
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
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.
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.
…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.
I apologise if this seems inappropriate, but I kinda like your wife now. And you for putting that argument up in the first place.
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.

Campy actor from campy shows that people made their personalities for lack of better alternatives.

I can’t for the life of me get into Seth Rogan
Part of the “I have a career because I smoke weed and drink with the actually talented stars” club
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)
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 would say his role in Magnolia is the exception.
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!
Steven Seagal, he’s complete garbage on every level. He can’t act, he can’t run, he’s a sex trafficker and rapist, and his whole career was started with a bet by producers to make the most incapable and unlikable person famous.
Also, aikido, he can’t even do a stupid useless fake “martial art” invented to sell to suburbanite children properly.
I had a friend who did this aikido/irl hadoken energy bullshit. He lost interest in it after my other friend (a Korean dude who didn’t appreciate all this dog shit Orientalism) heaved my electric can opener at him to test his claim that he could stop fast moving objects with his chi.
Did you not see that demonstration where he effortlessly destroys an entire dojo of people by wrist-flipping them one at a time without moving his hands more than 20cm?
Thats raw skill.
I’m $ure the $ubject$ involved in that demon$tration were $uper $eriou$ and can $urely explain how $killed tho$e move$ were…
