    Gal Godot.

    I’m very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of women. That being said, if I didn’t feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn’t made anyone else’s list because it’s such a low hanging fruit.

        she was stiff in WW too, but it worked because the whole side plot was that she’s never met human beings and doesn’t know how to interact with them. also she’s like a demigod so being devoid of emotions doesn’t look that weird on a character like that. they played to their strengths.

        most issues with movies about acting are actually issues about casting. i love Keanu, but he’s also stiff. but that worked perfectly his best roles: johnny mnemonic, constantine and of course neo. even john wick worked mostly because he’s built up for the first half of the movie as a mythical, inhuman force of nature.

        so yeah for that particular rendition of wonder woman, great choice: she looks like a demigod; she acts like she’s never seen a human before. perfect.

        for anything else, please kill me so i don’t have to suffer through this scene.

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

    Why does this man have an acting career?

      He plays one character, but the character is kind of likable and funny. To me he’s the definition of a popcorn flick actor.

      WWE really pushed many stars to become hollywood actors. bautista is one that actually tries as an actor, dwayne is a movie star attention seeker, also dwayne apparently is the “ellen degeneres” of behind the scenes too.

        WWE did not push their guys to be Hollywood guys. WWE pushed them to be WWE film guys.

        Creating their own production company to make cheap straight to DVD movies. Using them to push guys as stars.

    Will Ferrell. He’s a creep. He’s not funny and is way too keen to play the love interest of actresses much younger than he is.

    Adam Sandler. I dunno that everyone likes him, but he seems very popular and lots of people seem to love his movies, but I can’t fucking stand him. I don’t enjoy his style of comedy, I find him equal parts vapid and grating in everything I’ve ever seen him in, I just don’t see the appeal.

      From the interviews that I’ve seen and the accounts of people who’ve encountered him it seems that he’s a pretty genuine guy. He knows he’s not making high art and isn’t pretending otherwise.

        I mean that wouldn’t surprise me, I’m sure he’s a lovely person, he’s just kind of the opposite of entertaining to watch for me. But, to each their own.

    Cringe comedy actors like Ferrell. Just saying or doing stupid cringeworthy shit that really isn’t funny to make a situation more uncomfortable and unbelievable.

      I agree with this comment in general, but don’t think Ferrell is a good example. Or really, maybe he is a good example, but the way his movies are shot isn’t a good example.

      In Ferrell movies, the gag is that the actor says or does something outrageously dumb, and then the other actors largely go along with it, either pumping up the idea, or being coerced by it, or stomping it down in a hilariously insulting fashion. If there is ever a moment of awkward silence, it lingers for a second before the scene ends. Arrested Development is another example of this being done well. It’s a farce - the actions are so bizarre and outlandish that we can’t possibly imagine ourselves doing it, so we are absolved of sympathy for the cartoonish actor and enjoy seeing them fumble their way through the scene.

      But there is a new wave of “cringe comedy” that seems to not understand what a farce is. A character will do something just beyond the limit of what we could imagine ourselves doing, so we can still identify with the character. Then the other characters react in the way people would react in real life - with stern condemnation or cold shouldering. And the scene goes on and on and on. It is terrible.

      I don’t like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them “I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end” and the agent just says okay.

      They’re pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it’s pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.

      Always hated him. Its just the most banal frat boy attention-seeking attempts at humor, and nothing ever rises above the level of his shitty Thanksgiving turkey song.

    Anthony Mackie. Nothing particularly offensive about him, but he’s a bit of a charisma vacuum and that constant pinch-faced expression irritates me for some reason.

    Ryan Reynolds. I’d be hesitant to say “everyone likes him” because while he is popular he does have a pretty big base of folks who dislike him as well.

    Julia Roberts.

    She was awarded a Best Actress trophy or whatever the fuck it’s called… She couldn’t even act surprised. Because she obviously knew she was getting it ahead of time.

    Norman Reedus i guess? Im a big metal gear fan but I won’t play death stranding.

    Norman reedus is gross and looks like the smelly guy with cigarette burns on his fingers and bitten up fingernails. He repulses me, I have nothing but contempt for him. He’s so skeevy looking.

    His most tolerable role was as the lead singer of Lustra in Euro Trip.

      Nobody ever said he was a great actor, and even he knows it… which is why he gave so much money to the vfx artists in The Matrix. His stint as Jonathan Harker in Dracula is legendarily awful.

      John Wick has been a big turnaround for him, but it’s a character that doesnt talk unless he absolutely has to.

      Yeah he’s a truly awful actor. I’m amazed he’s as popular as he is. His real life training to do his own stunts for John Wick is super impressive, and I think the first movie was fine for him since he barely talked, but goddamn, any time he says anything it’s just such a chore to listen to.

      The scene in the second matrix movie where Hugo Weaving comes back and confronts him has such an incredible monologue from Hugo Weaving, and then one fucking line from Keanu is just so goddamn stilted it almost ruins the whole scene. Lol
