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.

Haha, will Ferrell as well!

Except Lego movie. (Haven't seen stranger than fiction but I'm led to believe that would be the second exception to my "I can't stand will Ferrell" rule, and a rule is only allowed 1 exception)

Pedro Pascal. I don't think I've even seen anything he's in, and yet I feel I've been overexposed to his face. Nothing personal.

Robert Downey Jr. because he just has a smug aura and I don't like Marvel movies. I'm sure he's cool irl. Or not, idk.

Chris Pratt. Too much, go away.

Jason Momoa because he's too perfect and I'll never be him.

The Rock because he's annoying and in everything. I liked him more as a wrestler.

I'd agree Will ferrel sucks but The Oblongs was one of the best adult cartoons ever.

Gal Gadot. Though it would be a stretch to call her an actress. Even the most untalented coat stand can act better than her.

Will Ferrell for sure.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Zac effron, zoey dechanel or whatever shes called.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Zoey disappeared

Tom Hanks.

He knows what he did.

Was it fucking the volleyball because I think that was his finest performance.

Basically all of them. At this point I feel like all celebrities are vapid shitty people. I don't want to participate in para social relationships.

Kira Sedgwick for decades, though I could never explain why — just something visceral in me. But her role as Wuntch (which ironically was supposed to make you hate her) on Brooklyn 99 was awesome, and I’ve enjoyed her work past and present ever since.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

The pure hateful banter between Wuntch and Holt was priceless and she killed it.

I wonder if Will Farrell dislike is a generational thing? I grew up on Will Farrell in SNL and A Night at the Roxbury and loved every second of it.

On the other hand, Bill Murray was before my time, and I haven't liked anything he's done.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

I liked Farrell on SNL. Once he started doing movies, his likability, for me, drops off rapidly after about 5 minutes at a time. I still think he can be good in the right supporting roles, but he's too over-the-top for a leading man.

Meryl Streep sets my teeth on edge for some reason. She's hailed as a fantastic actress, but she always comes across as plastic and fake to me.

I did like Fantastic Mr. Fox, but she only did a voice for it.

Yeah, Will Ferrell. I liked him in Zoolander, though.

[–] l3enc@piefed.ee 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Jenna Ortega. she's always playing the same character archetype in the exact same way (quirky, #notlikeothergirls, fairly mainstreem left-ish political views)
