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.

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)

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.

Reba McEntire. I just don't like her folksy shtick

Didn't we have this discussion just a few weeks ago?

My answer remains Tom Hanks. With the exception of one scene in Dragnet.

Well damn I gotta know which scene got the ok? I've always loved that movie.

Brad Pitt.

While we're tearing into celebs for being huge pieces of shit to everyone around them, Brad physically beat Jolie and the kids and not a peep is made.

Robert Duvall. Don't know what it is about him, but I have a real distaste for any role he's played.

[–] lemming741@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Adrian Brody, without exception

You stole mine.

Not 100% of the time but there are several. The one that comes to mind is Jeff Goldblum. My wife feels the same. We never like him but many of the movies we like well enough we just wish he was not in them. So like wicked and the original jurassic park are like that. Curiously I liked him in the fly but that seems to be a one off. Literally the moment I see his face and he speaks I want to punch him.

Craig Robinson.

It’s not really his acting but more the roles he played that make me dislike him.

The worst role of his is the Pontiac Bandit. I despise that character. He shows up once every season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine just to make Jake look like an incompetent ass hat, when most of the time the show portrays Jake as very competent but aloof.
Though this is also the best acted role of his that I’ve seen.

Then there is Darryl from the Office. I don’t hate him as a character there, but I think he’s mostly just mediocre.

Don’t get me started on This Is The End though, yuck.
