Well it wasn’t Terminator or Star Wars!
Ben Stiller.
Hilarious in Zoolander, dumb and plays literally the same character in every other movie.
Actually add Tropic Thunder to the mix, he was good in that too.
I liked Melissa McCarthy in Mike & Molly but I can’t bear her in films. When she’s on network TV, she has to restrain herself somewhat but unleashed in an R rated film, she just becomes so much of a caricature that she’s unwatchable.
Thirded but for me it’s Oscar.
Matthew McConaughey as ‘Wooderson’ in ‘Dazed and Confused’.
Hell, Ben Affleck in the same film as well.
Nic Cage in Adaptation. Annoying as hell in any other movie he’s been in.
Al Pacino in Sea Of Love. Have never enjoyed or admired him in anything else.
Saved it with the second choice. Leaving Las Vegas was the only thing Cage ever did that was even moderately acceptable.
Dave was his best, but Kevin Kline was pretty good in A Fish Called Wanda, too.
Lucille Ball, while undeniably talented, nearly always played characters I didn’t want to be in the room with. I did like her in Yours, Mine & Ours.
Jim Carrey makes my ears flatten but I can’t imagine anyone else doing The Mask. He was born to do that role.
I don’t tolerate Adam Sandler easily either, but he was quite good in Fifty First Dates.
I tend to find Arnold Schwarzenegger wooden and unexpressive and mechanical, and don’t much care for the macho action flicks he tends to go in for, but The Terminator made an asset of his primary liabilities, and it was a complex thoughtful movie while still being a good action flick.
Forgot about that one. Yeah he was good in that too.
I generally like his voice work, but haaate his live action work - the one exception being This Is the End.
Dandson is terrific in* The Good Place.*
Travolta was great in Grease but bad in everything since then, including Pulp Fiction.
Allison Janney was great in the West Wing but sucks in Mom, and in fact it makes me sad and mad seeing her wasted in a second rate cheap sitcom.
Not much of a fan of Sharon Stone, but she knocked it out of the park in Casino.
As a Child I met her briefly at Disneyland, my Mom knew a Showbiz friend of hers so chatted her up. She was without entourage or even a plaid. She didnt seem at all like her character. She even bummed a cig from Mom. And called my Dad “handsome”.
Yes, *absolutely. *
Exactly. He seems to be the personification of Dirk Diggler.
I’m ok with the fucked-up shit he did with Tim and Eric.
One of the most unwatchable roles I’ve ever seen was his in “Cable Guy”, which I thought was more of a melodrama with uneven tones than a black comedy. De Niro succeeded as an obsessive in “Taxi Driver” and “King of Comedy”; Carrey, here, sure didn’t.
Also in “Departed”, but other than that - yeah, disposbale.
I though too much slime constantly oozed off him, there.
Skeevy-town.
Brad Pitt was tolerable in “Tree of Life”, and “Seven”. That’s it.
It’s possible I could be the only “Anchorman” fan here. Heh, I can deal with that. (saw only the first - no intention of seeing the others, though.)
Agreed. Can’t believe I’m saying I thought he was great in that.
Fine, then, I’ll allow those two as well, but that’s it.
Really? The Panic in Needle Park? The Godfathers I and II? No? A slightly shorter version of him shows the value of his master classes.
Peter Sellars might get a six out of ten in the Pink Panthers and “The Party”, but in “Being There” - 11 out of 10.
Sean Connery in “Zardoz” was the only cool thing he did. 
Christain Bale - “American Psycho”.
Greg Kinnear - “Auto Focus”
Malcolm McDowell - “Clockwork 'Orange”
“Johnny Guitar” is the only tolerable Joan Crawford thing.
Shawshank Redemption is the only movie I can stand to watch with Tim Robbins in it.
Agree on “Being There”, wondering if we’re being whooshed on Zardoz…
you do know there was a James Bond better than George Lazenby, right?
Hint: he dressed better than that Zardoz loincloth.
Jennifer Tilly didn’t suck in “Bullets Over Broadway”, but otherwise has no business being in the acting game.
Melanie Griffith in “Nobody’s Fool”.
A lot of what I say is silly-goosery, especially when augmented with a :p, and I stand corrected on Sellars - he was also top drawer in his three roles in Dr. Stangelove.
The Bonds seem to meld and morph in my mind as one big suaveness.
I liked Tilly in “Second Best” and I thought Griffiths totally rocked in “Something Wild”.
