I'm sorry but Andrew McCarthy is one of those Actors that somehow fell into great movies. If you want to know how to play a wimp just watch any of his movies. He's horrible and completely gets overshadowed by any other average actor. The only movie where he didn't play the same weak-ass rich boy character was "Weekend at Uncle Bernie's" But yet again he got dominated by a guy who plays a dead guy. His best line was "Come on Steff" in "Pretty In Pink" as James Spader dominates the hell out of him.
Kristen Stewart, Miss piggy nose and really plays the same person in virtually every movie with the only difference being the time period of the flick. Just a dislikable actor on multiple levels and has zero depth of character. She is vapid and boring
Ha, I passed through Katrina when it was just a blob of weather off the coast of Florida and followed it into the Gulf of Mexico on my way to Houston. Amazing transformation in a couple days...
Madonna was a bad choice...

I don't like Penn. Very good actor, bad life choices..

IDK, I liked Madonna.....but I have a strange taste in music.
But always been fascinated by Hollywood's use it and lose it marital situation.
CGI doesn’t make acting easier, i actually think it adds more difficulty - trying to get into character in front of nothing but a green screen can’t be ideal. And most of the best acting performances have little or no cgi involved anyway.

I never liked Madonna's music, but as a teenage boy in the 80's Sean Penn may have made some bad life choices, Madonna in the 80's wasn't one of them. Arod made a bad choice with Madonna. Sean Penn did not IMO.
John Goodman was a pretty damn good Fred, though.

How many Streeps, Hepburns, Brandos, Bogarts, Stewarts are there? Today with CGI and special effects the actors can be less accomplish selling their character.

I think this is an important point, especially the transition into the CGI world. Case in point - the Start Wars prequels. One of the first films to use extensive cgi all over, and yes Hayden sucked, but what about Portman? One of the best young actresses also sucked. As did Ewan Mcgregor and Liam Neeson. Part of it is the script and direction, but I think they were not prepared at all to act in that new world that Lucas was blazing.
You never need to know what that fuckface is babbling about. He just babbles. Like a brook in Spring.
Xbronx is truly insufferable - but i will say Madonna was a good life choice back then. She was undoubtedly a lot of fun in one's late night life.
UConn - my bad on the word 'belittling' - wrong choice of wording and you cant edit prior posts on here. I just meant i didnt think one could claim Keanu only does fun/non-serious movies and thus should be immune to scrutiny, but Ryan Reynolds is somehow a serious thespian with incredible range that should be discussed here.
Bill L - Streep wasnt in Mamma Mia 2 except for a 30 second cameo at the end. She apparently doesn't do sequels. Anyway, the first Mamma Mia wasn't too bad and anything with Amanda Seyfried in it gets a pass regardless.

Yeah, she was a ghost or something at the end. Wasn't a fan at all of the second movie; I just didn't like Streep in the role anyway. Hated Brosnan even more but that's a different thread.
Right? I mean, I get that people have different tastes in movies and not everyone is going to be a big fan, but that one was just a bizarre choice. Pitt has a fair bit of range and has a really good catalog over the past three decades. No, not everything he did was great, but a lot of it is.
Never understood the dislike of Mark. Is he Richard Burton? No. Does not need to be.
Link - ( New Window )
tiny role, but he nailed the opening scene in Sixth Sense too.
Most listed are ok at acting, but shouldn't be in as many big roles as they are, and/or have limited acting range, and/or tried roles they shouldn't have.
Jean Claude Van Damme is a guy who has no business being an actor.

Guilty pleasure from him is Contraband. Don't know why I like that movie but I do.
That means he's a limited actor, which I think the majority of them are. Not who I would say has no business being a actor.

I'm guessing a few on here dont care for Wahlberg because of the Vince Papali role... i've got no issue with him personally, and he didnt act much in it, but he gets credit for Entourage in my view too.
I watched the Mule on that same flight (Boston to Zurich).
and I killed 4 hours of the trip easily.
I liked both movies.
Never saw it. I liked Ted with Wahlberg. One of those movies you have to be in the right mood for, but if you're in the right mood it's pretty hilarious.
Otherwise I haven't seen a lot with Wahlberg. Fear, Perfect Storm, the Fighter, and I think that's it other than the other two mentioned.

Different strokes...Ted is on my list of all-time most hated movies. I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I grew up on a talking bear. One who's stuffed and is vulgar just doesn't do it for me.
Watch a scene from Ted a second time, and it's cringe-worthy.
If you watch Six Degrees of Separation, you'll probably change your mind.
...except for one. The girl who plays Brianna in Outlander is absolutely show-stopping in the worst way.

is she the same actress for all the seasons? It seemed like she was more attractive in earlier seasons but her attractiveness somehow waned once she traveled back.
A remake of the Sons of Katie Elder, if I remember correctly...
Four Weddings and a Funeral is a terrific movie. She, however, is just awful in it. Cringe worthy.
But you have to admit, she nailed it with “Is it raining? I hadn’t noticed.”
Magic.🙄
Good to see you around, my man. I missed you on our birthday last year!

I thought he was really good in Departed and Boogie Nights. I think he's cashing in now though.
Even Britney Spears with whom might actually be the worst actor ever (outside of maybe Madonna) Chalke still stunk up the place. I know they brought in Britney to (save HIMYM) make Chalke look legit on the show for character development purposes but I saw it clearly as a way to disguise how bad of an actress she was but with her playing Stella, she still looked terrible.
I wouldn't care too much about her but since she's had such a long career in acting with very little to no talent, it raises the question... how... does Chalke get so much work thrown her way? Especially in the 90s and 00s? Hmmm...
She lands roles on sitcoms and isn't even funny...
