> [@MoonMoon](#): > > Tom Cruise. I took an instant, visceral dislike to him the first time I saw him (way before the Scientology nuttiness) in All the Right Moves in '83. Even typing his name fills me with rage. šŸ˜œ I absolutely agree with this, he was my first choice. I also saw some mentions of Lena Dunham and the Kardashians, count me in! ---

If you have a reason to hate them because of something they said or did, or even because their acting sucks, then itā€™s not irrational. Right. ISTM what weā€™re really talking about is people you find unappealing due to (mostly) physical reasons; because really, whatā€™s more irrational than disliking someone because of the way they look? I canā€™t stand Nicki Minaj on a few different levels. Her music, her voice, her persona . . . all perfectly rational reasons to dislike her. Her ugly face and fat arse? Not rational, but nonetheless a source of dislike. ---

Hating Julio Iglesias because his singing is completely smarmy is perfectly rational. Dude can make songs about drinking yourself to death because your woman left you sound like heā€™s pondering the need for a fresh manicure. Getting angry by finding myself in the situation of explaining to supposed soccer fans that it actually makes perfect sense for him to get an interview in the sports section talking about soccer, since he was famous as a soccer player before going into singing, is not rational. I should get mad at the idiotic supposed fans, not at him. ---

I agree that a lot of posts here describe perfectly rational reasons to dislike someone. They may be petty or ill-informed, but thereā€™s a logical reason. I irrationally hate Beck for some reason. I think I can only name one of his songs, ā€œLoserā€. Not my kind of thing, but not a terrible song. There are tons of way worse and more annoying songs that come and go on the radio without me caring much. But for some reason, I just want to punch his [big stupid face](https://cbsradionews.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/beck-2016-lauren-dukoff.jpg?w=640&h=360&crop=1). No idea why. I understand heā€™s made lots of good music, and as far as I know heā€™s a real swell guy. But for some reason, I hear about him andā€¦:mad: ---

I have an ongoing Irrational Hate List. Number one is Leonardo DiCaprio. Number two is Eddie Redmayne. As far as women, I loathe and despite Amy Schumer and Amy Poehler. Minnie Driver and January Jones are also on that list. ---

I saw a picture of the cast of _According To Jim_ the other day which reminded me how the mere sight of Jim Belushiā€™s face used to rankle me. Iā€™ve known of folks originally from Chicago whoā€™ve loathed or so they claim Jimā€™s high visibility presence at Chicago sporting events. ---

A stopped clock is right 2 times a day and I sometimes agree with Donald Trump. I agree that Meryl Streep is overrated and her breathy voice annoys me. Re: Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham, very rational. I could see how Rogen and Fey annoy someone but I like them. Re: Neil deGrasse Tyson, he needs to stay off Twitter, and he is frequently wrong about science stuff. Re: Oliver Sacks: prosopagnosia is quite common. Maybe 2.5% of people. Juliette Lewis was annoying even before I knew she was a Scientologist. ---

I have five perfectly rational reasons to hate Tom Cruise: 1. He boned Rebecca DeMornay, and I didnā€™t. 2. He boned Mimi Rogers, and I didnā€™t. 3. He boned Nicole Kidman, and I didnā€™t. 4. He boned Penelope Cruz, and I didnā€™t. 5. He boned Katie Holmes, and I didnā€™t. ---

To me, he always looks as though he just found out his dog died in a horrible blimp accident. > > My sons enjoy my hatred of Cage. My youngest will sometimes shout ā€œNicholas Cage!ā€ at me for no reason whatsoever. It doesnā€™t help that they both enjoyed the _National Treasure_ movies and will watch them over and over. I canā€™t believe Iā€™m admitting this, but I used to have a humongous crush on Nicholas Cage. Iā€™m not given to celebrity crushes, either. I first fell for him in The Rock, because he played a total wimpy geek who had to toughen the hell up. Then he went through a period of being in great films - Adaptation was one of his finest. Thenā€¦ Something happened. Something terrible and I can no longer justify liking him. I am just embarrassed for him. I feel terrible saying that but heā€™s been in a lot of bad shit lately. ---

I had a friend run into him at a comic shop, probably at the height of his popularity, and he talked enthuastically to my friend about Superman, and was by all accounts pretty chill.
