Actors/Actresses You Can't Stand

Cafe Society

Steven Seagal

Van Damme

But I truly loathe, actively despise and refuse to watch Drew Barrymore. What the hell is up with the annoying “I’m-trying-so-hard-my-face-is-contorting” lisp thing? I could smack her around for that alone. But she is a bad actress. Everything she has been in as an adult has been her standing around, talking in that irritating voice with that half-almost-grin that just painfully screams: “Look! It’s ME, Drew Barrymore! Aren’t I cute? I’m, like, acting and stuff!” She looks like she’s sucking on a lemon all the time.

42

Julia Roberts. I cannot stand her and do not see what the facination is with her.

43

Tom Cruise. Ever wonder why he usually plays some rich, arrogant asshole? I don’t think the guy’s any brighter than Keanu Reeves, whom I find painful to watch (unless he’s playing an idiot, which he does very well).

Nicold Kidman. Seems like the very expensive girls that I’ve never liked IRL.

Denise Richards. Easy on the eyes, but lacks talent.

Chris Tucker. I thought the best part of his role in Jackie Brown was that he ended up in the trunk of Samuel Jackson’s car very quickly. The guy is just annoying, that’s all. Ditto Martin Lawrence.

Jack Nicholson seems like an old creep. Maybe that’s why he always plays one. Just a creepy fucker, which worked in The Crossing Guard. Dennis Hopper’s pretty creepy too.

Matt Damon bugs me. Those pouty lips don’t belong on a man.

Margot Kidder’s lips are too thin to be on a woman’s face too. And she has those pop-eyes, like a chihuahua. Yeah, too bad she’s psycho and all, yada-yada.

Tom Green should crawl back up the rotting anus of the road-killed dog that spawned his talentless career and never return to the light of day. He could take his wife with him, too.

Stallone is another talentless dreck, and his vocabulary seems to consist of Uuuh-EEee-aaa-uuuuh, abzuhloooly. Yes, I know he wrote Rocky and First Blood. He also starred in Judge Dread, Rhinestone, and Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.He should just stay behind the camera.

44

Richard Dreyfuss.

45

The sound of Melanie Griffith’s voice causes convulsions (but surprisingly, I can deal with a similarly-voiced Jennifer Tilly).

I’ve always wondered how and why Jerry O’Connell can be employed as an actor. I’ve never seen anyone worse, including Seagal. At least Seagal’s schtick was good for one, maybe two movies - not great acting or moviemaking, but decent popcorn stuff. O’Connell can’t even claim that. He is unwatchable in everything he has ever done.

46

Finally, somebody who agrees with me. And it annoys me no end that all my friends confuse Chris Tucker with Chris Rock (who is OK but since that awful movie with Anthony Hopkins I could almost put him on my list, too).

And what I really, really hate is any mention of the relationship of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. If I hear one more mention about it I am going outside to beat someone up.

47

Reading this thread has some repressed memories bubbling up like rancid cream.

Stallone (obviously)
That narcissistic jerk who did Dances With Wolves (I’ve repressed his name)
The talentless little hack who played Batman in one of the first films. (repressed)

Jim Belushi

Ugh, I feel sick…

Kevin Costner has ruined more movies than most actors will ever appear in, plus he has that Rush Limbaughish “why don’t these homeless people get a job and take a bath?” attitude. What really p.o.d me was when he trashed Patrick Bergin’s ROBIN HOOD as “boring and unimaginative” when his own came out- Bergin’s had 1/50th of the budget and 20x the style of Costner’s. Plus, he plays the same damned character whether he’s a 12th century nobleman, 1930s crime fighter, or 19th century cavalry officer.

Melanie Griffith- am I the only one who keeps expecting her to say “meow meow meow Mr. Rogers…” and reveal her true identity? What she did to SHINING THROUGH is illegal in 42 states and all Islamic countries, though strangely she gave a good performance in CRAZY IN ALABAMA.

Christian Slater- you are not Jack Nicholson, Jr., so get over it… plus, the fact that he talked about his victory over the H’wood lifestyle then a few months later was arrested while armed and on coke in the L.A. airport was one of those “if I’d done that my ass would be sharing a zip code with Charles Manson for the next 10 years” moments.

Brett Butler- Brett, sugah— “sit-com” is from the words “situation COMEDY”- nobody wants to hear statistics on battered women and alcoholism in a comedy… ALL IN THE FAMILY could swing it once in a while, but they were a whole lot more talented than you and your writers are.

David Spade- who did you sell your one-character soul to and are they still buying? The only funny thing about your movies and TV shows is decomposing under a rock marked FARLEY.

Mel Gibson- in addition to his views on homosexuals and birth control, his violation of history in BRAVEHEART, THE PATRIOT (aka Lethal Musket), and POCOHONTAS (he may not have written any of those, but he certainly had some influence) make me wince at what he’s going to do to the all-Aramaic life of Jesus movie he’s filming.

Kelly Osbourne- not an actress any more than she’s a singer, but I loathe her and her brother enough to include them in any negative thread.

49

There are a lot of celebs I just don’t see the appeal of (Geri (sp?) Ryan and Jackie from that 70’s Show are just butt ugly to me, for example.), but I’ll save the listing to those whom I actively despise their work. If I went into those whose politics I hate, I would be typing all night.

The Hated:

Chris Elliot: You are the only man so talentless and annoying he makes Tom Green look like Olivier in Wuthering Heights. I actively wish harm to come to you because you are so gratingly annoying and agonizingly unfunny.

Tom Green: Just because you aren’t nearly as bad and annoying as Elliot doesn’t mean you aren’t incredibly bad and annoying.

Ben Stiller: You’re the self-important, useless spawn of two talentless hacks who never realized Vaudevillie died and you have less talent than either of them drunk and ripped to the tits on percodan.

M. Night Shamalamadingdong: Your movies are not edgy, not entertaining and not even “weird”. You’re an overrated director who will, hopefully, fall out of your flavor of the month golden boy status even more quickly than Robert Rodriguez.

Cameron Diaz: Go away you 2 dimensional, duck-faced troll. You’re vapid and whiny, and the fact that you let yourself be made up ugly in Being John Malkovich doesn’t make you edgy or “brave”.

Woody Allen: Congratulations, you’ve managed to make the same damn movie something like 30 times, and it wasn’t that great the first time around. You haven’t done anything remotely enjoyable since What’s Up Tiger Lilly, and even that wasn’t a masterpiece.

Val Kilmer: I hate the fact that I like you. You’ve proven yourself nearly impossible to work with, and in interviews you always appear either stupid or stoned off your ass, while still remaining incredibly self-absorbed and pretentious. That being said, I think your work is incredible and that you really are among the three best actors working in American cinema, which really pisses me off.

Quintin Tarentino: The only works you’ve been involved with I found even remotely enjoyable were True Romance and Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction wasn’t a good movie, and the fact that you came up with ways to use some tired gimmicks in reasonably new ways does not make you a genius. Your “acting” is even worse than your directing, so bad, in fact, that you managed to get upstaged by Cheech in your Desperado scene. Get the hell over yourself and stick to producing, please.

That’s all for now.

Burt Reynolds- in addition to being a brainless self-absorbed mongoloid who somehow managed to wind up broke after making $100 million, he owes a friend of mine for an electric fence that he ordered then never paid for and was nasty when asked for payment.

Every televangelist barring none without exception since the beginning of television.

Puck from Real World- Ethel Rosenberg went to the electric chair but this freak is running around free?

Dennis Miller- if we could buy this cat for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth, everybody on this thread could retire in luxury. He used to be funny, but for more than a decade he’s been a formulaic giggling prick who slams Southerners and other demos with the zeal of a racist but hides behind that “I’m just an entertainer” crap if called on it.

Lastly- while he’s less of an actor than a stand-up comic and talk show host-

BILL MAHER- to quote a line on one of Redd Foxx’s albums, “I wouldn’t p!ss down that mtherfcka’s throat if his guts was on fire!” How dare you whine about being the victim of censorship? In the first place I’ve never known you to let anybody you disagree with talk, and in the second place having the right to say whatever you feel and having the right to be paid for it are two different things- the network/government never silenced you, they fired you, there’s a huge difference. Plus, even by Hollywood standards this tool’s ego is out of control.

51

oooh ooooh and I forgot Hugh Grant

52

Luckily, his obnoxious attitude seems to have helped ruin his career as well. Karma works.

I am also getting a little sick of Tom Hanks as the self-proclaimed spokesman for all things WWII and for becoming Spielberg’s personal sock puppet.

53

Oh yes, how could I forget:

Jon Stewart. The most unfunny man on Earth.

54

I’ve got another vote for Michael Douglas - there’s something slimy about him.
I also have to agree with all the votes for Stallone, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Keanu Reeves.
Penelope Cruz drives me up the wall, her voice especially. The same holds true for Melanie Griffiths and Jennifer Tilly.

Something about Elijah Wood doesn’t sit right with me.

55

Nicholas Cage.

Apparently he’s good in his recent film. Yeah – maybe.

But then again, he won an Oscar for “Leaving Las Vegas” (???).

His acting in THAT film was like listening to a tenor sing one note for 2 hours. Has anybody rented that film twice? No, I didn’t think so.

I really liked John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and Phenomenon. It’s really hard to forgive him for Battlefield Ratbrain, though.

56

1)My dad is a WW2 vet and doesn’t seem to mind Hanks’ involvement…in fact, he appreciates it, as do his friends of that age.
2)I personally like Hanks’ for his outspoken support of the manned space program.
I don’t agree with everything he says politically, but I still like him and respect him because of the way he presents himself.

57

Sorry, Sweetie, I’m taken. I’ll go to the movies with you, though. My husband doesn’t like Kevin Smith or comic books.

Jess

58

I loathe, absolutely loathe, Mary-Louise Parker. Gangly arms and legs, mouth hanging open, kind of a permanent “who farted” crinkle in her mouth.
What about anyone who hosts a show on E? They aren’t actors or actresses but boy, they deserve some hating. Especially Ted Casablancas.

59

Cosign. He is the absolute worst actor I have ever seen. He’s not attractive in the least and has about as much charm as a drunken fratboy. I’d like to suffocate him.

60

Toby Maguire. I realize he was born that way, or perhaps maimed by a bad plastic surgeon and either way I should have pity for his facial disability, but the perma-smirk is so annoying.

Sandra Bullock. The way her eyes crinkle up when she smile is not a talent. Until she gets some actual talent, it would be nice if she’d stop acting.
