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.
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.
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.
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.
Fuck (and I cannot emphasize this enough) fuck Timothy Chalamet. He is always so wooden. He can’t act for shit. Hes just a very pretty nepo baby.
Also, can we count film makers? I hate Christopher Nolan. Every movie he makes is such a torturous slog. They are all metaphors for their own creation, and everyone of them is too concerned with the machinery, like hes pretentiously drawing attention to it. “GET IT? IM MAKING A MOVIE? IM A FUCKING GENIUS!”
Tom Cruise, no explanation needed
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)
I came here to say Will Ferrell with the same exception, then read your post.
Stranger Than Fiction shows Will Ferrell is perfectly capable of being a good actor playing interesting roles, but chooses to just play low effort trash.
Leo DiCaprio. No exceptions. The movies he’s been in that I’ve enjoyed were enjoyed despite him and not because of him.
His entire approach to a character is to put on an over-the-top accent and call it a day. I’ve never had the sense that any of his characters were the actual character and weren’t just “Leo with an accent”. I’ll be fair and say that he has improved in recent years, with movies like The Revenant being tolerable.
But holy shit, how his career went anywhere when people saw his “acting” in Titanic and especially Romeo and Juliet, is mind-boggling to me.
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.
AI versions which replace him with Obama. Extra points for having him shit talk the old host and joke about firing him.
Or just cut out the scene from the existing movie and start spreading the edit via bittorrent.
Who?
“Down the hall and to the left.” What a schmuck.
he was pretty good in ‘The Time Before He Was Alive’
remember the pizza commercial, he ate a pizza crust first.
Gonna take it in a slightly different direction and pivot the question to music. And in that case, Red Hot Chili Peppers, it’s time to stop. I get it, it was cool and unique. But now, it all sounds the same, and you headline every festival ever and I can’t enjoy the same 5 songs being crammed down my throat for the next 5 decades to come still. Please stop. I know you “can’t stop”, but please, please, stop.
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!”
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.
Is he or is he a traditional non-fascist conservative like his father in law Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Ditto
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?
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.
What’s wrong with promoting the observance of Lent among those that believe in Christianity?
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.
Dude went full maga and now all I see is his horrible acting
hes also not a nice person irl too. he ranted about not being in leadership roles for different movies, im guessing because he so maga, he loves being masculine roles. Also his controversy with his wife/disabled kids, and a sick pet animal.
Jurassic World was the worst thing that happened to him. I’m sure he made bank on them, but Christ do they suck.

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.
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
I want it directed by the ghost of Ralph Bakshi. Plenty of rotoscope and rough surrealism
Pratt’s a Nazi and can fuck off for good
He’s like Adam Sandler in some of his roles, too. Pudgy loser man… married to or dating a knock out super model.

I can’t stand him, and my feeling is he’s a twat as well
Used to love him as a teenager rocking out to Tenacious D. Recent activity is pretty cringey though.
Minecraft movie would have been so much better without Jack Black.
The Minecraft movie was terrible though. Swapping him out with a different actor wouldn’t have helped.
It was a huge movie and the whole thing looked like they had a budget of about $20 and about $19 went on the set so they had to get the script written by somebody they hired of fiver
I think in the case of the Minecraft movie, Jack Black is a symptom of a bigger issue with the movie; it was always a cash grab
Owen Wilson. He has one tone and always looks spaced out.
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.
