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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don’t realize it’s him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.

    Jamie Foxx and his associates were at an adjacent table at at restaurant in LA years ago. He was a total cunt to wait staff. Pure asshole to his core. Restaurant comped our meal because he ruined the evening for everyone.

      I’m so glad I’m not the only one who just absolutely can’t stand him in movies or just in general. It has been pretty good watching his entire life burn to the ground.

    Hollywood is starting to make me dislike Pedro Pascal only because he’s in EVERY DAMN THING.

    I actually like the guy, but overexposure is a thing. And he could stand to just chill for a little while.

      Agreed, I was worried the same would happen to Allen Tudyk but then I watched three Allen Tudyk shows in a row and realized it’s actually really hard to get sick of him for some reason.

    The first one that comes to mind is Jared Leto. Can’t stand him in any role but I will tolerate him in Requiem for a Dream. And even then I’ve only seen that movie once which is more than enough.

      I highly recommend The Little Things where he did a great job even though I hate him too. He was good enough to break through my disgust for him as a person and just be disgusted purely by the character he portrayed.

    Chris Pratt’s only good films were the Guardians of the Galaxy fims and the Lego Movie and his face wasn’t even in one of those.

    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.

    I couldn’t stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven’t minded the guy.

      If you want another comedic stupidity, he has some funny parts in Snatch. Can’t be bothered to watch his copy&paste action movies, too, though.

        It’s worth watching. I used to not care for Melissa McCarthy because she always just seemed to play the “funny fat lady” parts, but in Spy she was pretty good.

        I think it’s definitely worth watching. I used to not care for Melissa McCarthy because she was always typecast as a “funny fat lady” cliche, but she was pretty good in Spy.

          Check out the film Can You Ever Forgive Me? It’s Melissa McCarthy in a far more dramatic role than her usual (but still darkly funny) and she is amazing in it. She gets to do so much more than her usual schtick.
