Title: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do? Post by: Allhallowsday on April 18, 2008, 10:06:02 PM PAULA PRENTISS in STEPFORD WIVES. While listening to the airhead robot ladies forced to go to their women's meeting rave about spray starch, PAULA says (under her breath): "Holy Cow..." :bouncegiggle: (I'm watching it now on TCM.)
I really like THE STEPFORD WIVES. Each time I watch it, like right now, it strikes me as incredibly creepy. PAULA is great in STEPFORD WIVES, but I can't warm up to her. Okay, maybe it's the husband RICHARD BENJAMIN team-thing (sorta like TRISH VAN DEVERE... but I don't blame GEORGE !!!) What ACTORS that you don't like are in movies that you do?

I've never really liked him at all, but I like Varsity Blues and he pulled off the a-hole West Texas Redneck football coach off pretty decently.
Ewan McGregor in Big Fish.- Usually not fond of his works but this was a decent movie he did well in. Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do? Post by: CheezeFlixz on April 18, 2008, 11:25:37 PM Tom Cruise in WAR OF THE WORLD ... damn shame he's not killed in it.

These guys draw attention to themselves by threatening to move to Canada whenever a politician they don't like gets elected. So, okay, now that I've noticed you, neither of you have any screen presence whatsoever. You're like a mildly bad odor in otherwise good films.

I'm not sure why, but I've never cared for the man's acting (he's okay, nothing great). Or maybe it's his politics (or at least his outspokenness about politics as though he were some kind of authority--you know, typical actor stance).

Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do? Post by: the ghoul on April 19, 2008, 10:29:36 PM I don't like Abbott and Costello at all. I generally don't find them to be all that funny, but I love the film "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein."

I don't really like his acting style or his politics but he is awesome in that movie. I've yet to see him in something I like. No matter what his characters are doing-he has this smug look on his face. Milla Joevevich in Resident Evil movies. The first two at least.

The movie is a little hokey and unbelieveable. She's in her mid twenties and Sean Connery in his 70s and they get together? Sure he's a hunk even at that age, but still. The movie's a little a silly but that's why I like it. But I don't like her. Never have, never will. Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do?

But, I like Minority Report, and also can't stand Tom Cruise.
I really don't care for Keanau Reeves, but like The Matrix quite a bit. Can't stand Travolta, but liked Swordfish (a little anyways) Tim Robbins and Shawshank Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do?

Well..., I like TIM ROBBINS, but I getcha... to each his own; I think persons who admit liking films starring characters that they don't like is wonderful.

Post by: CheezeFlixz on April 21, 2008, 01:31:51 AM There are a lot of actors I don't care for, wouldn't have a beer with even if they were buying but I like there movies.
Tom Cruise, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney (an he is a cousin of mine, thankfully distant), and about any other actor that wants to get all preachy and think that by virtue of their acting ability their worldly opinion matters. There might be some folks that might believe that is Sean Penn or George Clooney believes this or that, then they should believe it too. Ok lemming, you do that I for one will form my own opinion without the deep emotional insight of Susan Sarandon ... however I'm all for seeing her scantly clad in the hunger or dancing in lingerie in Rocky Horror. Shut up Susan, strip down and try to act. (Ok the women is now 61, but she's still not bad though.) Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do?

Post by: Kester Pelagius on April 21, 2008, 11:07:37 PM Mostly, for me, it's not a matter of hating a actor so much as immensely disliking a casting choice. Though it's usually the movies that cast comedians for comic relief. Some 'comedians' should neither be seen or heard.
Case in point: GALAXINA. This movie would have been SOOOOOoooo much better if the annoying comedian they cast as the captain wasn't in it. I don't know what it is about the guy but I just can't stand the sight/sound of him. Also anything with Gilbert Gotfried (or however his last name is spelled) in it. Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do? Post by: Mr. DS on April 24, 2008, 08:48:41 PM I've brought up Sandra Bullock a bit too much on this board. Although its not a movie, David Caruso is the reason I refuse to watch CSI Miami which would be a show I'd watch.

I'd have to agree with Cheez on Tom Cruise. There have been more than a couple of times I've lamented that an otherwise enjoyable movie had to have that overrated nut in it. Title: Re: What ACTORS that you DON'T LIKE are in MOVIES that you do? Post by: Torgo on April 25, 2008, 05:14:16 PM Caruso is one of the reasons I watch CSI: Miami. He's hilarious. That show works great as unintentional comedy mainly due to his overacting (if that's what you can call it). David Caruso was actually quite good in Mad Dog and Glory.

Yep, Caruso was great in that movie. And he is serviceable enough in most the roles I've seen him in, except "Jade", where he looked like he couldn't care less about anything. Have you seen the opening in CSI: Miami episode "All in"? It's absolutely hilarious. I wonder why a series dealing with CSI has a lead charactar that kills more people than Dirty Harry, and often for personal reasons. Am I the only one who finds him disturbing for that? And unless they do something about it, the show seems to expect the viewers to root for him anyway. Alright, enough with the Caruso hate. I also hate James Belushi. Never understood how such a waste of actor ended up doing so many films. And then, I saw him in a cop film called "Gang Related". Surprisingly, he was great in that. Easily his best role to date. And I don't care much about Cruise as an actor. I think I've been able to separate the actor from the public personality, but it's just I don't like his acting. Yet his work in "Collateral" won me over from the first minute, he was terrific in that film. |
