Jack Nicholson. He just drips sleaze, and contempt for women. It’s the squinchy eyes and the smirk, I guess. And the way he holds his shoulders in an endless shrug. I can’t watch him.

For sure…he’s a bit tough to look at.

I’ve never really noticed that about Cumberbatch, but I would definitely say it about Anthony Mackie.

There is something about Jennifer Lawrence’s face that I feel looks plastick-y and artificial, especially her character in _Silver Linings Playbook_. It was less noticeable when she was blue as Mystique in _X-Men: First Class_.

I always thought Tom Hank’s smile was due to a botched facial reconstruction.
