> [@sqweels](#): > > My GF won’t watch one minute of any movie having anything to do with Woody Allen. > > She’s still creeped-out by the whole Soon-Yi thing. Me too. A rare case of the artist’s personal life destroying my ability to view/hear their work. Actually, I think there has been a strong undercurrent of creepiness to his movies quite a ways before the Soon-Yi debacle unfolded. ---

Andie MacDowell. Good lord, how I hate that woman. ---

Manic Al Pacino has ruined more than one movie for me. ---

Tom Cruise and John Travolta. When they’re on the screen, I can’t see the role they’re inhabiting, I can only see them. ---

Another vote for Nicholas Cage. I don’t even really know why, he just bugs me. I just don’t like his face. I don’t even think he’s ugly, he just has this look on his face that I can’t stand to watch. His voice bugs me too, but I think that’s because I associate it with his face. ---

Ahahahahahahaha **Keanu Reeves** - He is the Derek Zoolander of Actors. ---

I was saddened to see Terrance Howard in Iron Man. He sucked the cool out of the movie. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/actors-who-you-wish-werent-in-the-movie-you-want-to-watch/537202.md?page=3)
