What Actor's Movies Can't You Watch?

[MrChug]

What movies do you see someone in and say to yourself "Not watching that crap" or, "Well, I ALMOST thought about watching that one, but nah...hate that dude/chick" :lol

There's plenty for me but some popular answers include Keanu Reeves, Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Ben Affleck, Denzel Washington, and even Vince Vaughn.

I gotta admit I haven't seen a movie with ANY of these "actors" in a while, but the longest is Denzel. Should have seen American Gangster but he overacts so much can't even bring myself to see that...

[IX_Equilibrium]

I don't watch any movie that stars the Scientology wackos Tom Cruise or John Travolta. And neither Will Smith, for that matter.

[MrChug]

I don't watch any movie that stars the Scientology wackos Tom Cruise or John Travolta. And neither Will Smith, for that matter.

I must shamefully admit that I think I've watched every Willy movie although he tends to overact as well. The difference between he and Denzel though...at least Will's funny.

EDIT: You know what I just noticed about the top picks according to that US magazine poll (I think)? Is that most of those guys in the list seem to just have one character and THAT'S IT. They're like the exact same person in every film. Just an opinion.

[FreeMason]

Afleck.

[MrChug]

Afleck.

Although Casey Affleck's pretty fkn good. Mom N Pop saved the talent for the 2nd kid.

[ManuTP9]

Cuba Gooding Jr, the dude fails at every movie iv'e seen him in except for one and that was "Boyz in the hood"' other than that he's not great.

[leemajors]

assface. (Josh Hartnett)

[dirk4mvp]

Nicholas Cage for some reason.

[hater]

Tom Cruise and Clooney

[mrsmaalox]

Benicio Del Toro totally creeps me out. He's a good actor, in decent movies that I cannot see because he makes my skin crawl! :grim:

[CuckingFunt]

I can't think of any actors that are enough to keep me out of a film based on their involvement alone, but a preview has to be damned good to get me in the theater for Kevin Bacon. Or Tom Cruise.

[balli]

Movies or TV:
Adam Sandler, Zac Braff, Sarah Jessica Parker.

[mexicanjunior]

I don't really have a bias against any actors...it's all about the trailer to sway me one way or another...

[sonic21]

Jar Jar Binks
ben affleck
The girl in harry potter
Christopher Lambert
paul walker

[baseline bum]

Will Smith and Kevin Costner.

[Borosai]

Ice Cube
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (if he's "starring" -- Get Smart was good anyway)
Woody Allen

[monosylab1k]

Shia LaBoof

[eisfeld]

Julia Roberts
Sarah Jessica Parker
Jean Claude van Damme
Ben Affleck
Tom Cruise
...

I could go on and on with that list because nobody reaches the level of mastermind of Steve Buscemi. :-P

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

There isn't one movie I'd shy away from because of the actors involved.

That said, Sandler is getting tough to watch and Zohan is the worst movie I've seen in years.

[koriwhat]

Nicholas Cage for some reason.

fuck yeah! NC sucks and was only ever good in "raising arizona" because he was supposed to play a dumbass in that movie and his mediocre acting skills were perfect for that part.

if not cage i'd have to say anything with dane crook. i hate his "comedy" and i'm sure he fuckin' sucks as an actor too.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Will Smith
Nicholas Cage
Mike Myers
Kurt Russell (Tombstone being the lone exception)

[MoSpur]

Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting exception)

[dimsah]

Richard Gere
Kevin Costner
Susan Sarandon.

No exceptions.

[leemajors]

Richard Gere
Kevin Costner
Susan Sarandon.

No exceptions.

you missed out, mr brooks was hilarious.

[IronMexican]

I hold no bias toward any actor.

[Blake]

Tim Allen

[CosmicCowboy]

Leonardo DiCaprio, although I confess I enjoyed watching him freeze and then sink into oblivion in Titanic.

[SpursWoman]

You didn't see The Departed? I loved him in that movie.

[SA210]

Tim Allen,
almost anyone from the Fast and the Furious crap,
or almost anyone from the I know what you "Screamed" Last Summer generation crap, although I liked Ryan Phillippe in Crash.

[MrChug]

Kevin Costner.

+1, but I think my opinion was quite skewed by a friend of mine who kept pointing out he was the worst P.O.S. actor he'd ever seen. My opinion changed from then on.

Besides, I guess I should have specified actors THAT ARE STILL GETTING ROLES. :P

[balli]

Shia LaBoof

Kevin Costner
In general, they both suck ass, but I'm down with Holes and Dances with Wolves, respectively.

Ben Affleck
Was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

He sucks too as an actor, but as a director/writer? I thought Gone Baby Gone was just beautifully shot and incredibly well written.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Ben Stiller,
Woody Allen,
Julia Roberts.

[mrsmaalox]

I struggle with Russell Crowe. I'm not sure why. But I did love his character in 3:10 to Yuma.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Jeremy Piven

[The Reckoning]

I struggle with Russell Crowe. I'm not sure why. But I did love his character in 3:10 to Yuma.

Gladiator???

for me i'd say keanu reeves and nicholas cage. they play the same damn character in every movie.

i rented phantoms after that line, and it was actually a decent movie

[MoSpur]

Eddie Murphy

[MoSpur]

Jennifer Hudson although her acting career has just started

[manufor3]

kristen stewart

[desflood]

Kevin Costner is terrible.

Tom Cruise is really hard to watch also.

[mrsmaalox]

Gladiator???

for me i'd say keanu reeves and nicholas cage. they play the same damn character in every movie.

i rented phantoms after that line, and it was actually a decent movie

I liked Gladiator for Joaquin Phoenix.

[jack sommerset]

Sharon Stone and Lindsey Lohan are the worst. I also can't watch any movie where a fat actress plays the leading role like Nikki Blonsky or Queen Latifah.

:vomit:

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Shia LaBoof

[MiamiHeat]

Ben Affleck
Eva Mendez

[mardigan]

Nicholas Cage for some reason.

Other than Raising Arizona, Im right there with you.

[xtremesteven33]

Vin Diesel

[CuckingFunt]

I keep reading the names in this thread and thinking, "oh, that's a good one," but then I remember one or two movies that I liked.

Can't stand Tim Allen, but loved Galaxy Quest. Nicolas Cage has been in a LOT of crap, but he's also been in Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, and Adaptation. I have an aversion to Kurt Russell, but Tombstone is brilliance and I have a soft spot for his early work with John Carpenter. I would rather slice my eyeballs open than watch Robin Williams in a comedic role, but I really like him as a dramatic actor. And so on.

[mardigan]

Oh, and Adam Sandler

[Udokafan05]

Julia Roberts is the most overrated and overpaid actress of all time. How she got the title of "america's sweetheart" i still dont know.

[leemajors]

i see every Cage movie in the theatre. High comedy every single time. The only one i've missed recently was Weather Man.

kinda obvious, but...Dane Cook.

[200 miles]

[CuckingFunt]

kinda obvious, but...Dane Cook.

That would require me to acknowledge Dane Cook as an actor, which just ain't happening. If I were, he and Paris Hilton would be at the top of my list.

[baseline bum]

kinda obvious, but...Dane Cook.

Has he been in anything besides that abortion of a comedy Waiting?

[EricB]

Dane Cook, but I'm half way agreeing with Cucking.

[PixelPusher]

Has he been in anything besides that abortion of a comedy Waiting?

He's actually been in quite a few movies I'm proud to say I've never seen



My Best Friend's Girl (2008)

Dan in Real Life (2007)

Good Luck Chuck (2007)

Mr. Brooks (2007)

Employee of the Month (2006)

Waiting... (2005)

[baseline bum]

He's actually been in quite a few movies I'm proud to say I've never seen

:lol I'm proud that I've never heard of any of those except Waiting, which has to be the most disappointing comedy of all-time. Seriously? How hard is it to make a funny movie about how much it sucks being a waiter?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I saw Mr. Brooks. It was an odd movie but Costner wasn't too bad as the lead.

Plus, he used a shovel to cut Cook's head off.

[Frenzy]

Julia Roberts is the most overrated and overpaid actress of all time. How she got the title of "america's sweetheart" i still dont know.


your not alone..she was mentioned a few times,i hate her i dunno why they find her pretty... her mouth is like freaking huge..and her eyebrows.. and nose... and wtf is up with the hair... or eh everything.


her and sandra bullock,argh.. her voice is like nails on a chalkboard

[iminlakerland]

for sure Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolllie

[chreph]

Aside from obvious choices (Tim Allen and the like), I for some reason cannot stand Sally Field. Everytime she's on a screen all I can do is groan and look away. I will occasionally watch a lot of crap with my wife since she watches things she doesn't want to with me, but when it comes to "Brothers and Sisters", I can't even be in the same room. Weird, huh?

[I Love Me Some Me]

Tom Cruise
John Travolta
Nick Cage (National Treasure being the lone exception)
Steve Martin (Three Amigos excluded)
Matthew McConaughy (sp?)
Sarah Jessica Parker

[MoSpur]

I forgot about Steve Martin. I did like that movie when he had a big nose though.

I don't like Mattew McConaughey movies. They seem all the same.

[Darrin]

Pick a comedian. The Wilsons, Jack Black, Ben Stiller--I hate this mindless garbage.

[florige]

Jason Statham hands down! If he happens to be on a cover of a movie and he is the lead actor, I'm not buying it.

[balli]

Tina Fey doesn't do many movies, but still, I have an irrational hatred towards her.

[J.T.]

Dane Cook

Waiting... (2005)

I don't care if you're Roger Fucking Ebert, Waiting gets instantly elevated to Hall of Fame status if you've ever worked in a restaurant like that.

[G-Nob]

Sandler
Dakota Fanning
Shia Ladouche
America Ferrera
Kevin James
Julia Roberts

[Cry Havoc]

If Paris Hilton is in a movie, you know it sucks.

We're talking about real actors and actresses.

[phyzik]

Leonardo DeCRAPYo.

Dont know why, I just dont fucking like him.

[leemajors]

I saw Mr. Brooks. It was an odd movie but Costner wasn't too bad as the lead.

yup. and the techno gunfight with demi moore was hilarious too. it should have just ended with his daughter killing him.

[leemajors]

i worked in a restaurant... it was pretty much dead on.

i'm still waiting for one called "retail".
The some one with cook and Jessica simpson sucked..seems to be based on walmart.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Tom Cruise went downhill for me after Risky Business.

[lefty]

Will Smith
Nicholas Cage
Mike Myers
Kurt Russell (Tombstone being the lone exception)

I liked him in Grindhouse

Also in that movie where he was fighting Mandarins

[JudynTX]

Anything with Adam Sandler in it.

[mexicanjunior]

I liked him in Grindhouse

He was great in 'Big Trouble in Little China' also...

[I Love Me Some Me]

Oh yeah...Vin Diesel.

[lefty]

He was great in 'Big Trouble in Little China' also...

That's the one where he is fighting Mandarins !

Thanks for the title :toast

[jack sommerset]

He was great in 'Big Trouble in Little China' also...

I liked him in Stargate and Tequilia Sunrise. He is not a bad actor. Not great but not bad. Wasn't he is Vanillia Sky. That was a good flick.

Tango and Cash !!!

Don't forget Miracle. And Overboard! Which is a classic.
I've never had a problem with K-Russ

[jack sommerset]

Don't forget Miracle. And Overboard! Which is a classic.
I've never had a problem with K-Russ

Thats right. Our Dad made us watch Overboard a few times.It was pretty good. There was a movie he was in with Robin Williams. He was a great highschool QB that was hurt and never went to college. Years and years later they set up a re-match with the old rival. It was funny.

Nothing wrong with Kurt Russel

[Udokafan05]

There is a lot of Cage hate, but i thought he was really good in "Lord of War", "Gone in Sixty Seconds", and "Next".

[mrsmaalox]

Hey I thought he was great early on in "Moonstruck", "Raising Arizona", and "Peggy Sue Got Married".

Even though I used to play Madden with the dude, Morris Chestnut. His movies are just not my cup of tea. He was great in Boyz in the Hood though.

A few others would be Will Smith, Bill Bellamy, Ron Perlman, Antonio Banderas, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li.

Overall, I like Tom Cruise. Tropic Thunder kinda sucked except for his role.

I won't say that Denzel overacts, It just seems like that since Training Day, he has taken the same lines and little sayings with him to every movie since then.

[mardigan]

Hey I thought he was great early on in "Moonstruck", "Raising Arizona", and "Peggy Sue Got Married".

Yet Con Air might be the single worst acting performance of all time.

[balli]

I think he's bored and unhappy with what he's done lately. I caught a Charlie Rose interview with him where he depressingly more or less said he only did American Gangster for the money. Actually, outside of The Great Debators, I think he's been doing everything for the money in recent years. He should chill, take a couple years off. Quit doing these lame ass, cliche, Man on Fire, Inside Man, John Q type of roles. He's a better actor than the guy who's been doing these weak "thriller" films.

Yeah thats a good point. Clive Owen made Inside Man.

[jack sommerset]

Cage is hit or miss.

[mrsmaalox]

Yet Con Air might be the single worst acting performance of all time.

See there lies the problem. In the movies I mentioned he was a "character"; he was really acting. Everything else I don't understand how it's acting; it's more of a "portrayal" of someone? And he just doesn't do "some guy" very well. LOL

[florige]

Hey I thought he was great early on in "Moonstruck", "Raising Arizona", and "Peggy Sue Got Married".




I thought he did okay in "The Rock". Stanley Goodspeed.

[MrChug]

Tom Cruise nowadays

Sean Penn(don't ask)

That kid in the mac vs pc commercials

Ann Hathaway


Blah.

Awww MAN, well you have to swallow some pride and see "Accepted" seriously. He's generally funny but he's damn good in that movie. Or was it just the movie that was damn good??? I don't know...

[DarkReign]

I dont think about entertainment enough to dislike anyone besides the obvious ones (Cook, Hilton, etc).

Next is a movie, thats all it was. I didnt watch it thinking "Oh, its Oscar time!" then get disappointed somehow when it was categorized as an action flick.

cage was great in the few, non-Bruckheimer films hes done (never seen Weatherman). Theyve already been mentioned.

But I do have an odd movie habit. Tom Cruise. Despise the man for no good reason in real life for being a wacko with outrageous demands on movie studios, propogating Hollywood religions and the like. Yet, if War of the Worlds is on, you can be damn sure I am watching it. Same with the Mission Impossible series, Few Good Men, hell even Valkyrie looks ok knowing how it ends (duh).

Other than that, I look at movies individually with really no idea who is behind the camera beforehand (dont care too much for Hollywood or what theyre selling). Grindhouse fucking sucked. So did Jackie Brown. Does that mean I shouldnt like Rodrieguez or Tarentino (sp? I dont give a shit)?

No, because Dusk til Dawn and Resevoir Dogs are classic. I just dont look at it that way. There are highs, there are lows and some last longer in one of those stages than others.

[CuckingFunt]

Even though I used to play Madden with the dude, Morris Chestnut. His movies are just not my cup of tea. He was great in Boyz in the Hood though.

Morris Chestnut's movies are fantastic.

On mute.

If you fastforward to the scenes he's in.

Agreed with most, but thought Inside Man was great. Maybe not Denzel specifically, but I liked the film and thought Clive Owen and Chewitel Ejiofor were really good.

[MrChug]

Oh, and Renee Zellwegger or whatever.

Of course with the "Me, Myself, and Irene" exception.

Tarantino started out at the top of his game but he has been on a downward spiral ever since.

[CuckingFunt]

Tarantino started out at the top of his game but he has been on a downward spiral ever since.

Matter of taste, really. I'd probably put Jackie Brown as my least favorite of his films, which was right in the middle of his career (so far).

I'm an unabashed fangirl, though, because even as my least favorite of his films, I still think Jackie Brown is pretty awesome.

[mardigan]

Jackie Brown is the shiiiit. I can't possibly believe you liked Death Proof more than that, you seem like too smart of a girl.

[CuckingFunt]

Jackie Brown is the shiiiit. I can't possibly believe you liked Death Proof more than that, you seem like too smart of a girl.

If I'd only ever seen the double feature of Death Proof, it would definitely be at the bottom of that list, but I really liked the full length version. The filmmaking itself, pacing in particular, I thought was incredibly smart, especially when compared to the type of film he was trying to emulate.

[Bartleby]

Benicio Del Toro totally creeps me out. He's a good actor, in decent movies that I cannot see because he makes my skin crawl! :grim:

I saw him hanging out at the Continental one night in Austin. A friend of mine went up and talked to him and he turned out to be a really cool guy. Totally laid back (damn tall, too).

[debo]

Well that's nice. I suppose I'm going to have to give him another chance :rolleyes Also I kinda want to see "Che" and see why it was totally ignored by the Academy ;)

[CuckingFunt]

Well that's nice. I suppose I'm going to have to give him another chance :rolleyes Also I kinda want to see "Che" and see why it was totally ignored by the Academy ;)

Because it's four hours and 17 minutes long (or so). And because, from what I've heard, is made of up and absolutely brilliant and engaging first two hours, followed by a second half that changes in tone and style and that is wholly unnecessary.

[mrsmaalox]

I was aware of the length, but sometimes it seems not to matter. I've read/heard several interviews with Soderbergh and Del Toro and both talked about the 2 parts of the film and how they don't have a dialogue with each other and that editing it down to one film was impossible. I also found it interesting that the intended project grew having no bounds because of the lack of factual information. Del Toro talked about meetings he had with actual companions of Che at the time of his death, and they all gave different accounts of who, why and where. Then 2 hours later everyone changed their story! :lol I'll check it out, but it'll be tough to best "The Motorcycle Diaries".

It is (or will be) available to watch in two parts, as well. I definitely want to see it because I love Soderbergh as a director and have heard that the performances, especially Del Toro, are amazing. Bit of a tough sell for the Academy, though.

I finally watched Valkyrie last night. The Bluray was on sale, so I bought it. It was a pleasant surprise considering I haven't liked any other Tom Cruise movies since 1995. I liked all his movies 1994 and earlier. just not the later work.

[silverblk mystix]

Will Ferrell

Jamie Fox

Wesley Snipes


any actor that gets roles simply because they are jewish

[Wild Cobra]

Now I like most of Wesley Snipes movies. I can do without "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar," and I especially liked "U.S. Marshals."

[Wild Cobra]

I don't like Daniel Craig as James Bond. Too much a departure from the previous actors.

Also anything with Zac Efron, Channing Tatum or some fag pretty boy that gets roles because 12 year old girls think they're good actors.

I hold no bias toward any actor.
Same here. Even the shittiest of actors has the rare gem occasionally.

Marky Mark Wahlberg.

Vin Diesel is good enough in Babylon A.D. Director's Cut.

[Mark in Austin]

I have to say Juliette Lewis. I find her acting completely cringe-worthy. The only movie I really like that she was in is Old School, mainly because after the first scenes you never see her again. She ruined From Dusk Till Dawn and Strange Days for me.

[hitmanyr2k]

Robin Williams
Will Smith
Jeff Bridges
John Travolta
Tom Hanks
Ben Affleck
Matt Damon (I'll make an exception if it's an all-star cast like The Departed)

Actresses:

Helen Hunt
Holly Hunter
Julia Roberts

ahhh, I had to look her up to remember who that was but I second this.

[marini martini]

Any actress with big ass, pumped up, collagen lips!:bang

Juliet Lewis, annoying as she may be, was in Natural Born Killers and Kalifornia. No way is her presence going to keep me from watching either of those.

My feelings on this topic are the same as they were when the thread was started, though. An actor (or director) I like might be enough to get me to watch a movie I wouldn't otherwise be interested in, but a crappy actor (or director) isn't enough to keep me from watching a movie that looks good.

[jack sommerset]

Marky Mark Wahlberg.

I used to hate that guy but he has sort of grown on me over the years. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is a very good actor but I don't hate his fucking guts like I used to.

That's a good point, but I have a hard time going by that good rule of thumb. Some people just really get to me, like (Hanoi) Jane Fonda. If she wasn't in Monster-in-Law, i probable would have seen that movie by now. Sorry, but I'm just not as good as you in that aspect. The last movie I saw with her in it was "9 to 5."

I don't know what's more disconcerting here: that you'd let an actor's political affiliations stop you from seeing a movie, or that the movie currently being blocked out for that reason is Monster-in-Law.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Kevin Costner and Gwyneth Paltrow.

[Mark in Austin]

I don't think any actor would keep me from watching a movie I'm interested in, but I'm not very optimistic about ultimately liking a movie she has a major role in. And yes, I didn't really enjoy Natural Born Killers or Kalifornia - because of Lewis. Although to be fair its been 10 years since I've seen Kalifornia, so I might check it out again.

[phyzik]

Kevin Costner and Gwyneth Paltrow.

+1,000,000 on Kevin fucking Costner. Waterworld was the LAST CHANCE movie I game him and it fucking sucked the diareah out of a diseased whores ass.

Nevermind that abortion of a movie, the Postman.

[silverblk mystix]

He's a fine actor but The Happening was terrible. He tried, he really did, but you can't spin shit into gold.

Mark Wahlberg is horrible IMO, and when he doesn't have enough of a great fucking cast to cover for him, it becomes glaringly apparent.

You're a moron if you think he was horrible in Boogie Nights or The Departed.

Her going full retard in The Other Sister is great unintentional comedy though. Her and Giovanni Ribisi are so incredibly shitty at acting like retards that it's hilarious to watch.

Many years ago I was in Toronto for a basketball tournament and low and behold Eddie Griffin the actor was in the hotel bar. I said wasup to him and he was piss drunk. And he said something like "what's up, doctor." I laughed and told him I wasn't a doctor and he got mad for correcting him even though I wasn't being serious. All of a sudden, I'm in a shoving match with Eddie Griffin. Now, I'm not a big dude. I'm like 5'10 and at the time probably around 190-200 tops. But Eddie Griffin is a small man. I'm laughing at the guy while he's trying to shove me. Lol Anthony Anderson broke it up and apologized for him

Anyway, from then on, I vowed to not watch another one of his films. Not because he made bad movies, but I wanted to see him broke. I had to make an exception for Deuce Bigelow 2, which was a mistake. I should have skipped that too.

to be honest, I didn't think he was that good in The Departed either, but yeah, that's a good enough reason to call someone a moron.

[Mugshot]

Vin Diesel

Yes.

[JamStone]

Yes.

Also agreed with Vin Diesel. That's a good one.

Similarly, anything that Ice Cube did after Friday, including any Friday sequel and even Barber Shop.

I finally watched Valkyrie last night. The Bluray was on sale, so I bought it. It was a pleasant surprise considering I haven't liked any other Tom Cruise movies since 1995. I liked all his movies 1994 and earlier. just not the later work.

Ever see Collateral? Probably the only movie I like Tom Cruise in, aside from Tropic Thunder.

[Zelophehad]

I can't grasp some of the idiocy in this thread. How could someone have anything against Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, or Sigourney Weaver? I don't really have biases against any actor unless their movies suck (cough Sandler cough) but I could understand some annoying or unfunny people or someone whose politics bothers you but some of the random ordinary actors thrown out here is baffling. Even Sandler if I hear good things about a movie he is in like Punch Drunk Love or Reign over Me I'll give it fair unbiased shot.

And the guy who said he didn't like Denzel Washington is retarded. Although he needs to stay away from all those Topny Scott movies. That guy has some of the most annoying, needlessly flashy "look at me" cinematography in show business. I mean blur effects and camera shakiness in a random non-important kitchen conversation between two people kind of annoyingness.

Everything about Tom Cruise in Collateral was great, except for that godawful hair.

sorry, you're not a moron.
