Ever since “Analyze This”, Robert DeNiro. He used to be great, but now he’s nothing but a caricature. I loathed “Meet the Parents”, and refused to watch the sequels.

Meet the Fockers reminds me of something: I hate Dustin Hoffman’s “smart idiot” character. He played similar in _Sphere_. It’s hard to put it in words, but it’s when he embarrasses Stiller’s character, and puts on a “what, me?” act while making that smug punchable face of his. And he doesn’t get it. That whole series is a bunch of cringe moments.

Good move. I saw it. Nothing in that movie is worth seeing, but LaDouche made it an actively unpleasant experience instead of a simple waste of time. Sort of like Willie in the\* Temple of Doom\*, but a little less screechy.

It’s probably already been mentioned, but “Transformers”. I think I’m a few years too old for this. I wonder if anyone who was over the age of 13 when the cartoons came out really likes them, or the movies.

Also, I was surprised to to find some sort of love for “Thundercats” recently when I read about an aborted movie adaptation. Really? Freakin’ THUNDERCATS is what you want to see? My dipshit friend said, “I LOVED them when I was a kid.” I had to remind him that he was 20 years old when the cartoons came out.

I’m trying to remember if Hoffman has had any non-irritating roles since _Rainman_. I’m thinking no. He’s been phoning it in for decades.

I remember seeing him in that Joan of Arc film (with Milla Jovovich) and wondering if he’d just wandered onto the set one day and said “Hey guys, I was just passing by and wondered if I could do a scene or two? It’ll be a laugh.” Jovovich is actually acting rings around him in their scenes together. Gruesome.

Never saw it - he’s ruined so many other things for me that I will avoid things he’s in.

I guess you didn’t see _Toy Story 2_. I consider her voice work as Jesse worthy of a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

I cannot fucking stand Adam Lambert. He came in 2nd on American Idol two years ago. He is gay, therefore to his fans if I state that I hate his style of singing, makeup, prancing, fame-whoring, pelvis-thrusting-dancing that means I must be homophobic. No. no, no, no. It simply means I cannot fucking stand this particular guy, his public persona, his hair, his makeup, his screechy singing. I cannot fucking stand anything about him.
