Vin Diesel. Nothing against the guy personally, but his whole dumb guy thing just irks me.
I think I'm with you on Will Ferrell. Quite often his parts are just...obnoxious?
Similarly, most of the time I just can't with Ben Stiller because his shtick seems to be second hand embarrassment.
I wouldn't say I can't stand it, but I've grown to hating movies with The Rock in them. Not cause his acting sucks, but because it's the same shit with different special effects. But I enjoyed the Scorpion King, and Get Smart
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!"
All the supposed comics - Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Steve Martin, etc. Even a lot of Jim Carrey's stuff - the humor is sophomoric at best.
Tawny Kitaen and Alex Kingston. I can't stand them, they're nails on a blackboard. It's why I gave up on NuWho. Gal Gadot, but that's mostly because her acting is wooden and characters uninteresting.
I wonder if Will Farrell dislike is a generational thing? I grew up on Will Farrell in SNL and A Night at the Roxbury and loved every second of it.
On the other hand, Bill Murray was before my time, and I haven't liked anything he's done.
Shia Labeouf. Generally I dislike him as an actor and almost everything he's been in.
But he was great in lawless which is one of my favorite movies.
I'd agree Will ferrel sucks but The Oblongs was one of the best adult cartoons ever.
Gérard Depardieu is one of the worst representatives of his own species.
He's also one of the best actors.
I've always wondered about those brilliant actors being idiots and/or assholes. How can they at the same time show (what I believed to be) such deep understanding of their fellow humans? Or is it just pure mimicry, without any intelligence and empathy?
Ben Stiller. I just can't get into anything he's in. He's just reading lines, nepo-baby for sure.
Exceptions: dodgeball, and tropic thunder, holy FUCK is he funny in tropic thunder
I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.
Marky Mark, no exceptions.
I really only liked Will Ferrell in Megamind tbh
John C Riley is an uncomfortable mess in everything he's in and I cannot stand it. The exception is everything he's in, which is delightfully uncomfortable.
Yeah, Will Ferrell. I liked him in Zoolander, though.
Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine.
He's OK in other stuff but it's not my bag unless it's the fucking mask 👌
Justin Long. I can't stand him for some reason. There are only 2 exceptions:
- Idiocracy - because that movie is so great otherwise and he is only in it for like 2 minutes.
- Tusk - Because the whole movie is about someone torturing him.
