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.

Mark Wahlberg is a racist that once tried to beat a Vietnamese person to death while shouting "I hate the Vietnamese" and other racist shit in the past.

OMG! That's exactly the way I feel. Stranger than Fiction is a masterpiece.

I don't care for Will Ferrell but I don't hate him as a person and that's what I thought you meant.

I can't believe you used this example. Amazing!!!

Jamie Foxx and his associates were at an adjacent table at at restaurant in LA years ago. He was a total cunt to wait staff. Pure asshole to his core. Restaurant comped our meal because he ruined the evening for everyone.

I can't stand Adam Sandler movies. Exceptions: The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.

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.

[–] 46_and_2@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If you want another comedic stupidity, he has some funny parts in Snatch. Can't be bothered to watch his copy&paste action movies, too, though.

[–] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

It's worth watching. I used to not care for Melissa McCarthy because she always just seemed to play the "funny fat lady" parts, but in Spy she was pretty good.

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.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I agree, but I'll watch Edge of Tomorrow or Oblivion if they're on.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 11 points 15 hours ago

Edge of Tomorrow is just Tom Cruise getting killed over and over again. It's great for people who hate Tom Cruise!

Will Farrell and people who have the same "try hard" comedy style as Will Farrell; Steve Carrell, Ben Stiller, etc.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

is it something with the double Ls ?

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

Funny coincidence but no. I just think these guys have the same act, and it's not an act I enjoy.

I definitely don't like the guy who played kylo ren.

Seems like his popularity was completely forced.

Hollywood is starting to make me dislike Pedro Pascal only because he's in EVERY DAMN THING.

I actually like the guy, but overexposure is a thing. And he could stand to just chill for a little while.

Scar Jo. She's just not a good actor. Same with Gal Gadot. Also Jack Black and Seth Rogen and the Rock, they don't act - they're just themselves in every movie.

Amber Heard. I used to find her attractive and her acting is decent. Then, the whole court case fiasco happened and I just can’t tolerate her anymore. I haven't watched Aquaman because of her.

There are no exceptions.

The first one that comes to mind is Jared Leto. Can't stand him in any role but I will tolerate him in Requiem for a Dream. And even then I've only seen that movie once which is more than enough.

Jared Leto (I don't know why, I just really don't like him), but there are no roles of his that I like. In fact, he has ruined a few movies for me. I was actually really excited about Tron: Ares until the casting was revealed.
