I can’t believe it took as long as it did for Costner’s name to show up… He was ok in that movie from a LONG time ago where he was (I think) a lawyer in the Navy for a lady who’s husband had died in a plane wreck… Nothing he has done since then has been worth seeing. I didn’t even bother with Waterworld. Even he would have to admit that it was his high budget attempt to make a version of Mad Max that would get people to like him as much as they did Gibson… One word for ya Kev: _ **FAIL** _ ---

Why is Nick Cage “self-loving”? Why is Ben Stiller “self-important”? I’m not saying that they aren’t, I just never saw any evidence of it. Could you explain? Ratty, you must hate going to the movies! 🙂 ---

Duane Johnson (aka WWE “Superstar” The Rock) He couldn’t act (or wrestle) his way out of a paperbag. The only reason he’s in movies is because of his (unjustified) popularity as a wrestler. He would have a hard time getting a role as an extra at the local dinner theater (not that I have anything against anyone who is involved with the local dinner theater). ---

Chris O’Donnell - Worst male actor I can think of, which makes him the worst actor I can think of. As far as I can remember, he’s never been in anything good and he’s certainly never been good in anything. Melanie Griffith - Obviously Chris Tucker - Terminate Chris Rock - Terminate Russell Crowe - Too much of an a-hole in real life to deserve any respect for moderate acting talent. Jenna Elfman - Freaky Scientologist dipstick. John Leguizamo - Threaten to terminate if he ever does any sort of comical role again. In fairly serious roles, he’s okay. Jennifer Lopez - Ugh. In so many ways. I can remember thinking she was attractive once, but her searing awfulness must have burned it out of my mind, because now I can’t stand to look at her. Anyone from latter-day Saturday Night Live - Particularly Adam Sandler, Wil Ferrell, Chris Kattan, and Molly Shannon Catherine Zeta Jones - I just don’t get her. She looks older than she is, has a voice that annoys me, doesn’t look that great, and … I don’t know. I just find her creepy. ---

Denise Richards was the first thought I had coming into this thread. There’s a picture of her next to the word ‘vapid’ in the dictionary. Her breasts are the only reason she has a career. ---

Richard Belzer. In addition to being one of the most arrogant and unfunny comedians in history, he only plays one character and that one not well, then he wrote that dumbass book that was either an unfunny attempt at humor or a factless attempt at seriousness. Dead celebrities I couldn’t stand when they were alive: Steve Allen (biggest ego in the history of show biz and nothing to back it up with) Frank Sinatra (love his music, hate the man) River Phoenix (while his acting I could take or leave, the hypocrisy of his death after his lifetime of “drugs are totally uncool” messages moves him onto the list) ---

Today in a cab I heard for the first time Jenny Lopez’s “Jenny from the Block.” Completely, totally lame. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in a movie. She should definitely give up singing. Who is that asshole who played Batman in the first movie? Christ, I hate that moron. ---

I think I’ll just move to Hollywood and go around throwing pies in the faces of all these phonies! God bless that man who got Bill Gates! Who is that man? I’d like to shake his hand! - Jinx 😃 ---

Basically, the whole Hollywood phony celebrity worship thing nauseates me. My list of despised celebrities would be very long; many of them have already been mentioned. One who has not yet been mentioned is Brooke Shields. Yuck. I really believe Brooke Shields is a man. Look closely at “her” face, eyebrows, hands, and neck. The current publicity is that “she” is pregnant. I’ll believe it only if I see a video of the delivery. Remember how “she” played up her virginity for so many years? Barf. In later life though, “she” had to be blowing somebody for that godawful TV show to stay on the air for so many years. ---

Gene Kelly. Gotta dance, but canna act. Fred Astaire. Looks great in a tux, but his dialog sux. Frank Sinatra, Yuck. Elvis, Puhleeeze. Roger Moore. Henry Fonda. Peter Fonda. Henry Gibson (yah, I know, “who??”). Just thought I’d mention some oldies and moldies. ---

Tim Robbins. Shut the Fuck Up already. Tom Green. I’m saving up that Bette Davis line from the other thread for Tom. (“You should never say anything bad about the dead, only good. Tom Green is dead. Good!”) I also saw his movie “Freddy Got Fingered” strapped like the bomb it is to another, slightly more attractive movie, in a 2 for 1 deal at Best Buy today. I’m still amazed they bothered to print those things. Steven “I’m such a Badass” Segal. Stop whispering, stop filming your masterbatory fantasies, stop causing me pain. Denise Crosby. Her very existence is painful. I literally scream in agony when she appears on-screen. Bill Murray. Slowly, he went from smirky/funny to smirky/I want to kick that smirk off his face. Woody Allen. Keanu Reeves. Just who the frell keeps giving this clown roles? Any Baldwin. Here’s hoping for a family illness. Julia Roberts. Sorry, I just don’t get it. Gilbert Gottfried. James Caan. Albert Brooks. Shirley McLain. Diana Muldur. Jerry O’Connell. Will Wheaton. Bill Maher. And others, the memory of whom has been supressed. ---

Pauly Shore - No comment necessary Adam Sandler - why do people think this person is funny? Brendan Fraser - Friends tell me this is only because I watched _Blast from the Past_. It traumatized me for life and now I am afraid to watch any other movie with him. Tom Cruise - I’m sorry, he’s not as attractive as everyone thinks he is. I’ve liked a couple of his movies, but lately…eh Russell Crowe - I liked him in _Mystery, Alaska_. I thought he was cute as hell, too. Then, I saw _Gladiator_. My sister owns that movie now and watches it about twice a month. After a couple of more viewings, I will probably loathe it and detest him (and I only catch a scene or two each time). Leonardo diCaprio - I thought he was decent when he was on _Family Ties_. I can’t think of one movie I’ve seen with him that I like. Strangely enough, I don’t mind Steven Seagal. I joke around that he just keeps making the same movie over and over again with different character names–but this plot similarity is really what saves him from The List. Because it feels like there’s only a few SS movies out there, not a huge glut of them, like for example, Sandler, who’s movies manage to differentiate themselves enough for me to notice that he’s overwhelming the rental shelves with dreck. ---

I GOTTA second Gilbert Godfried!! How the HELL did this freak of nature ever get ANY kind of star stature?? His voice grates on my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard and his humor is so mundane that it even makes us southern dolts feel smart! ---
