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!

Jon Hamm might have bodies hidden somewhere. That guy sets off so many red flags for me, but is beloved by everyone. I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure he might be evil.

I think just that the boring kind where you divorce your partner after becoming successful

Will Smith and Jared Leto for sure (including 2049, which was a disgrace compared to the masterpiece that is the original, despite me loving Arrival, Dune Part I and Sicario).

I also cannot stand anyone meant to appeal only to Americans, like Kevin Hart, Chevy Chase, Queen Latifah and all that stuff. Used to like Tom Hanks in the 1990s, but after that he became part of the latter group for me.

If you are ever going to try again watching a The Rock movie (I don't mind him at all, although not being calling me to watch a movie), please make it Hercules: that movie genuinely surprised me.

2049 is great. i think he's a cringey prick but if jared leto's screen presence can't kill fight club, american psycho, or requiem for a dream, he definitely can't kill blade runner.

i know lots of people prefer the original (and of course it's by far more influential) but you're the first i've seen call it a disgrace.

Billy Bob Thornton. The prick.

Julia Stiles. Saw her in Save the Last Dance and some other movie and absolutely could not get on with the movie. It's like she's not acting or doesn't know how to act. She's kind of like in audition mode the entire time and I just don't get anything from her face or her actions. I sometimes get the same thing from Keanu but at least I like the movies he's in. With her I just rage quit 5 min in seeing her. She just ruins it for me. Also yes, also don't like The Rock. I'm sure we saw the same YouTube vid where the guy bashes on him for not knowing how to act as any other "character"... which when looking back, it's true. He's literally the same persona every god damn time.

Jason Bateman. Used to be Jeremy Renner and Tim Robbins so I guess it’s an unconscious bias against little guys with too-big faces for their features.

it was the same for me about Sandler until I saw Uncut Gems, finally he showed that he can act.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

The reason he's good in Uncut Gems (and Punch Drunk Love) is that there is something genuinely frightening in how unhinged he seems when he is acting.

The woman that played Cameron on "Halt and Catch Fire". Couldn't enjoy "Station 11" because she was in it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Why don't you like her? I'm not familiar with much of her work but literally stopped watching Black Mirror after the episode she was in because I knew it was going to get depressing again.

Ben Stiller

I just can’t. He makes me anxious just seeing him on screen. I so want to watch Meet the Fockers because DeNiro is one of my faves, I just can’t do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts after watching the secret life of Walter Mitty.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

if it makes you feel better ben stiller just embarasses himself the whole movie

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Til Schweiger and Kristen Stewart, they each know exactly one facial expression.

None. I dislike some actors, but so many other people pour part of themselves into these things and influence each other when developing them that it's impossible for me to not have at least some curiosity.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I’m surprised to see no Chris Pratt (or CP, as he likes to be called) in this thread.

But Chris Pratt for me.

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

Ooof he does know what cp stands for right

He's doing ads for some religion based mobile app. He even sucks in those.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I absolutely loved him in Parks and Rec. He was always my favourite character. But that's probably because he was just playing himself.

Everything I've seen him in after parks and rec has been bad, and I agree he is not a good actor.

Since the snow white disaster, rachel zegler.

Also, I can't really watch til schweiger movies. Or most german "comedy" movies.
