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.

    Jared Leto. All his best roles are the ones that could have been better, if they were played by someone else.

      I hate him, too, but he was good in Blade Runner 2049. I mean, the role should have come naturally since he was playing a narcissistic sociopath.

        Oh, I hated his role in Blade Runner 2049. Not his acting, just the role. It seemed forcefully implanted in the story to make it more action-filled. I also hated the recreation of young Rachel concept. It made no sense to me and felt like it should make no sense to Decart either. I wish Leto’s role would have been toned down to allow for the film’s meditative and well emotionally built parts to shine.

      See he is the opposite for me. He always seems well cast and he can act. I just dislike him as a person.

      Like Mark Wahlberg, I like him IN things I’ve just never seen him in an interview or casual thing where I didnt think “I believe that IRL he is an asshole”

        Is there a movie where he (Wahlberg) doesn’t play “Jersey boy who made good”? I feel like it’s always the same character with a different job facing a different crisis.
