Thread: Actors that make you avoid watching things

    Stone cold isn't far behind the rock for me. I was a HHH fan hahaha.

    Adam Sandler I agree on, I liked Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore but his acting got stale quickly. .

    I'd blanked out Hugh Grants existence until I read this thread.

    No one has mentioned an actor I like which means I must have impeccable taste in actors and actresses

    Megan Fox - I've never actually seen a movie with her in it mercifully, I just can't stand that woman. The fact that she's April O'Neill in the upcoming Turtles movie means I'll avoid that like the plague as well, which is a shame.

    Julia Roberts - Can't put my finger on it with her, I just dislike her acting style I guess.

    Michael Cera - Plays the same damn character in everything, and has a punchable face. Saying that I've never seen a movie he's in either, but if a movie involves a 'lovable dork' role you can be sure either he or Jesse Eisenburg will fill it, but I'll leave Eisenburg off my list as he's actually done a couple of good movies.

    Yeah, it's true that Eisenburg also does pretty much the same character in every movie, but instead of being a lovable dork, he tends more toward an arrogant jackass.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I like Jesse Eisenberg for that very reason. He plays jerks well. Having seen and heard a few interviews he's done, he does actually talk in that rapid-fire, slightly condescending tone. It's awesome. *mancrush*

    I think I've pretty much had it with Michael Cera though. I've seen all he's capable of, I think, and I don't think he'll top Scott Pilgrim, so I probably won't watch anything else he does.

    I just realized I listed Hayden Christianson, but I was actually thinking of Robert Pattinson. I hate that guy. I mean, I liked him as Cedric Digory, but that was back when he was a kid. I haven't liked him in anything since.

    I seriously cannot get myself to watch a movie with Justin Timberlake in it. I just can't take it seriously on any level.

    Wow, James Franco, Tom Hanks, and Scarlett Johansson hate? Really? Wow.

    I do not care for Nic Cage, but I will watch something because he amuses me in a love-to-hate way.

    Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler, and Rebel Wilson infuriates me. Adam Sandler is not irredeemable, but his comedies are painfully sophomoric. Owen Wilson is obnoxious. And Rebel Wilson plays characters that are incredibly unlikable.

    Adam Sandler doesn't screw around having fun with his friends, he screws around making tax dodges with his friends. And I detest him, I would actually cause him pain IRL, he has reduced and diminished the human experience and he is a testament to our failings.

    I find that it's any other performance artist I can't tolerate in a movie. Even J-Lo.

    Brendan Fraser...he's so terrible. Why did I sit through The Mummy and The Mummy 2? WHY?? I still don't know why to this day. And he's been in such greats as Monkeybone, Encino Man, George of the Jungle... I don't think he stopped getting work, I think he finally got embarrassed enough to call it quits.

    I really liked the Mummy films! Mostly because of Rachel Weiss though, probably. xD

    Helena Bonham Carter. But that is more because of the roles she plays and I would not avoid watching a movie because of her. She always gets what she deserves such as an epic burst spell from Molly Weasley.
