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.

Gérard Depardieu is one of the worst representatives of his own species.

He's also one of the best actors.

I've always wondered about those brilliant actors being idiots and/or assholes. How can they at the same time show (what I believed to be) such deep understanding of their fellow humans? Or is it just pure mimicry, without any intelligence and empathy?

Scientologists.

A name I haven't seen in this thread is Owen Wilson. I hate his aloofness and his delivery. When combined with Ben Stiller it's a force multiplier.

Will Farrell

Vince Vaughn

Seth Rogan

All there are annoying as shit.

Tom Cruise - Dudes a freak and a weirdo but Tropic Thunder was funny af.

Will Smith - After the Oscar’s.

The rock - Phony and plays the same person all the time.

milas kunis, scientologist, shilling for masterson and then fleeing to europe with her equally reprehensible husband.

Chris pratt, gary sinese, both are right wingers,

forGARY sinese why he was great in the movies he was in, hescurrent virtue signalling for the troops on REDDIT is very cringe, mostly because he started last year around the time when the eleciton/campaigns was in full run.(unlike jon stewart, you only came out recently as a rightie, to shore up the voter base for republicans that the gop would throw under the bus)/. he allegedly left acting because of his sons death, i call bs because he knows he was going to get flak for supporting the GOP/VETS and not denouncing the gop for slashing VA care/bills, and he would likely get washed out of Hollywood eventually. hes using nostalgia as a shield from criticism, and his wierd "larping" for vets.

chris pratt, himself being a right winger, and supporting is fundie church, and i dont find him too good of actor, such wooden acting and people are defending him somehow? he only has one inflection and expression throughout all the roles he has been in, his acting careers was pure nepotism.

Rob MAC(originally rob machellenny) og isaip episodes were great, but became extremely pretentious even changing your name, trying to stay in hollywood inner circles, by colluding with questionable people like reynolds, a football star, and also the amount of comestic procedures he has done to make him look 20year old alien.

Jim Carrey, no exceptions. I fucking can't stand his face.

Will Ferrell with the exception of Anchorman. He plays the same man-child character in every movie, and he pretty well ruins the Barbie movie for me every fucking time. (Just kidding I love that movie but I really wish he wasn't in it)

Something about Jude Law sets me on edge. Like I'm chewing tinfoil or something. I don't really know why.

[–] sdfric88@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

James Spader. His voice makes my skin crawl. It's so smarmy and pseudo-intellectual. I have never seen him in anything that I didn't feel complete revulsion to.

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He was born to play Robert California

But seriously, I love him in Boston Legal. He’s still smarmy but actually an intellectual, and he genuinely tries to do his best for people, countered to William Shatner classic “old school” republican(this was 2005) who mainly cared about guns and freedom.

And Raymond Reddington.

Tom Cruise - but damn, his performance in Tropic Thunder is a masterclass.

The first time I saw the film, I didn't even recognize that he was in it.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 hours ago

I agree, I can't stand Tom Cruise as a person but collateral is one of my top movie.

Woody Allen. Everything about the way he acts just makes my skin crawl.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

did he voice the family guy episodes that he was in, he sounded creepy asf, of course him being on the RIGHT.

tried to gather sympathty because your house was near the malibu fires this year, boohoo.

Mark Wahlberg. Racist meathead.

Exception: The Departed

Young Nicole could play more than ice queens.

Seeing Matthew Broderick in anything still ruins the entire show for me after hearing about how he killed 2 women in Ireland and just got away with it.
