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.
Are we talking about Jack Black, or The Rock…?
Yes.
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.
I was pretty surprised by Cena in Peacemaker
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.
I definitely don’t think he’s super talented or anything, but he’s funny and charismatic at least.
God he’s awful. He has absolutely no acting skills. I skip everything that includes him.
Hot
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.
I agree. The first Wonder Woman was ok, but she’s so stiff in everything since.
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.
Oh god. Snow-white’s failure is mostly her fault.
That’s like blaming the rat who was on fire for running into a barn filled with shit
Snow White was a failure at conception, not because of one actor.
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.
Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel and Ben Stiller are the 3 horsemen of the comedy apocalypse
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.
Ryan Reynolds because I’ve met and had the displeasure of working with him twice.
Story time?
Yea don’t just drop a shit like that and don’t flush.
Adam Sandler
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.
I think he has a career because he has serious dirt on somebody.
Have you seen Uncut Gems?
I also loved Sandler in PTA’s Punch Drunk Love
Probably the best RomCom.
Well considering that I detest Adam Sandler, obv no.
He’s an irritating little shit who never grew out of being 5 years old. He’s not funny, he’s not charismatic, I hate his ugly little beady-eyed face.
Alrighty, this seems like pretty specific hate
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.
I have to disagree that nothing ever rises above that style humor. He does have a few very effective turns with serious filmmaking.
Julia Roberts.
She has way too many teeth, I’m scared.
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.
Well said. Can’t stand that guy.
Agreed. Mackie is just so blase. I’ve seen football fathead posters with more charisma
Matt Damon
His most tolerable role was as the lead singer of Lustra in Euro Trip.
I thought he was quite good in The Talented Mr Ripley
Funny enough, that was the first Matt Damon movie I saw.
…aaaaaand I absolutely hated it 😆
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.
Him being skeevy looking but actually kinda nice is the part of the appeal.
Pedro Pascal
Yeah this fucking guy lol he’s everywhere
He has good comedic timing. I enjoyed him onSNL
Ya everyone likes him but me. Oh well
Jason Momoa. Can’t act, plays every character the same, and can’t seem to keep himself from smirking in every moment of screentime.
Also Paul Dano. Someone else mentioned Leo’s “imposter syndrome” and I would apply that to Dano also. I can’t tell if he’s acting too much or not enough, but he always feels out of place.
Paul Dano was perfect in Swiss Army Man, that sense of “out of place” actually worked incredibly well for that film.
Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she’s in, and it’s a character I don’t find funny at all.
Curious. I always thought she was more of a lolcow. Where that’s just how she is and everyone happens to think it’s funny.
Yeah I don’t feel her honestly even seeing herself as an actor per ce. Like she’s typecast because that’s who she is (or at least thats her public persona) and she just rolls with it cause it works in her favour and people love to see it.
Owen Wilson
He’s actually pretty good as Mobius in the Loki series
That’s true. I think some “bad actors” just get roped into playing particular characters, and then when they get a part that’s completely different it turns out they’re not actually that bad.
There’s also the element of maturity. Young actors rarely know how to handle both new fame and their craft
Oh, woooow
Add Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn to that pile. Can’t stand any of 'em.
Ben Stiller is a really good director however… see Severance for an example
