For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I'm always aware that I'm watching an actor doing a performance.

I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. But it's one of the few "good" actor that makes me feel this way.

Owen Wilson. Something about him just makes me queasy.

Adam Sandler, with the exception of punch drunk love, maybe. I wanted to like tough cut gems, but I have up or of serving hand cringe

Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. I hope none of you have ever heard of them. They are just bad at acting and the movies where one of them is the director are just horrible... and still they are in sooo many german movies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I enjoy them, they're easy to watch, I don't need much

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Tom Hanks. I'm not sure why, as he seems like a perfectly nice person, and even a good actor. But I just find him incredibly irritating for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't know the man but somehow Tom Hanks gives me the "very freaky but very good at hiding it" vibes. 🤷

  • Adam Sandler

  • Jennifer Lopez

  • "Insert ex-Saturday Night Live actor here"

  • Leonardo DiCaprio (I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I've believed he was a shit actor forever and there's a reason it took him so long to get an oscar...and it wasn't because of "snubbing"...he was just routinely shit up until the Revenant.)

  • John Travolta

  • Jennifer Lawrence (Up until recently, she was literally the female DiCaprio. Everything I said about him applied to her. Unlike DiCaprio, she got far far better rather quickly and my issue with her nowadays is mostly her choice of movies just aren't my jam.)

  • Tom Cruise

Hey now on SNL, bill Hader is awesome especially after Barry. And Phil Hartman

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Ha! I was going to pipe up just to mention Bill Hader! He's apparently quite anxious about improv but he's also just so good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Phil Hartman has honestly been gone for so long now I've forgotten him. But yeah, you are correct.

As for Bill Hader. He's the best of a bad bunch, and he's okay, but being one of the better SNL alums is a very very low bar to cross.

And I mean, yeah...I should definitely clarify that I'm not talking about classic SNL (Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, etc...) That generation made great films after their careers at SNL ended.

The Rock is definitely overused, but he f****** killed it in the Rundown with Sean William Scott. I love Sean Williams Scott

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (11 children)

I mean there's a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:

  • Danny Masterson
  • Bill Cosby
  • Kevin Spacey
  • James Franco
  • Kevin Sorbo
  • Tom Cruise

So it's not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.

For the dumbest reasons, I can't enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she's absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain't great. I also didn't enjoy Heather Graham's acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock's acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago

Gadot being pro genocide is a good reason not to support her

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

I had an internal laugh to myself in the Wonder Woman movie when the Amazons had an Israeli accent. I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Which Rock movies aren't shite? I recall enjoying the Rundown, but that was also well before reaching the current saturation point

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

lol dude, I watched Baywatch, San Andreas, Rampage, SkyScraper, Jumanji and Central Intelligence from what I remember with my ex. I swear to God those movies get blurred in my mind due to his "samey" character/acting.

I think some of the movies you could argue that aren't shite of the Rock's are Rundown, Jumanji, Moana, and maybe some of the Fast and Furious movies. Although, I never really watched those (I've only see the first) but other people seem to enjoy them.

I don’t switch anything off faster than when Danny McBride shows up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I used to think he was just a crass asshole but after watching and then loving Righteous Gemstones, he grew on me. Gemstones is such a crazy, hilarious, and satisfying show and the fact that he created/showran it changed my mind about him

Jenna Ortega. For awhile I only saw her name in poor bastardizations of my favourite childhood media and it has soured me on her work entirely.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I’m surprised nobody’s said Ezra Miller yet.

Also Noah Centineo, Shailene Woodley, and - she seems like a sweet person but - Kristen Stewart.

Plus any Disney/Nickelodeon kids who never grew up past that phase; like Debby Ryan or Bella Thorne (though I don’t think she’s done much lately).

ETA: Lacey Chabert, as she’s exclusively in Hallmark-type slop now. It’s concerning.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Will Ferrell. He gives me the creeps and he isn't funny.
