[QUOTE=Grossbottom] Kirsten Dunst. Blandness personified with dirty little teeth. Dirty. Little. Teeth. [/QUOTE] And that half-asleep look doesn’t help one bit. ---

I feel like I’m coming out here, and expect to be flamed immediately, but here goes: **Al Pacino**. I hate him. He hasn’t “acted” since the 70’s. He just does his same stupid shtick for every movie and people just lap it up. He stinks. There, I said it. Also, Kevin Costner is perhaps the world’s most boring actor on the planet. I refuse to see any more of his movies. ---

Andie MacDowell. Good lord I hate that woman. I couldn’t even tell you why. ---

None for me, but my wife hates Teri Garr. In fact, I was watching the ST episode she was on, when she was very young, and my wife started in on how obnoxious the character was. I didn’t even remember it was her until the end of the episode. ---

I can’t get by Naomi Judd. At least she hasn’t been in much lately. Not a Dunst fan. Not a Sandler fan. He’s pretty much the only stupid comic I DON’T like (Carrey, Martin, Carrell, Ferrell – you name it, I like it). But, I also disliked Sandler in Spanglish and Punch Drunk Love. In those roles, I just wish they’d gotten real actors. ---

[QUOTE=Hampshire] Angelina Jolie. Blech! Look at me! I’m going to Africa to save the world. I’m going to adopt all the African children because their lives suck and life with me is what every child of the world desires. And in my spare time from being Mother Teresa I might act because everyone is just in love with me. I’m the new Katherine Hepburn. No wait, I’m the new Princess Diana. And maybe I’ll pick up a faux foreign accent while I’m at it so I can sound sophisticated just like Madonna and Johnny Depp. And look how I seduced Brad Pitt. If I have People Magazine’s hottest man of the year groveling at my feet I must be god’s gift to men everywhere. Oh how great it is to be me! [/QUOTE] But you’d still do her, right? ---

Dermot Mulroney. I don’t even remember what I’ve seen him in, but I think they were romantic comedies where we’re supposed to like him, and I just found him smarmy and unpleasant. Naturally, chicks dig him. ---

Tom Cruise—IMO his only good role was in “Legend” and I only watched the movie a zillion times for Lily’s dresses and Tim Curry (who I love immensely) and the Lustiano stallions who played the unicorns. Well, I take it back. He was okay in “The Last Samurai” but everyone else was better. Plus there were lots of horses in it. Sylvester Stallone. I tried to watch “Rocky.” I really tried. Meh. ---

Leonardo Dicaprio. As if his acting shortcomings were not enough, I can’t bear to look at his grotesquely enlarged skull. ---

Usually hate Michael Douglas – but _loved_ him in _Wonder Boys_. Usually hate Tom Hanks - but _loved_ him in _Private Ryan_. David Spade is just too eww for words. Don’t know if he’s been in any movies, though. ---

I forgot to mention that I have an intense hatred of **Martin Mull**. When I was little, after having seen **Mr. Mom** I had a dream that my mom left my dad for the Martin Mull character in that movie. Devastated my little brain. ---

[QUOTE=Mooch] I wish I could take the credit, but **Futurama** deserves it. [/QUOTE] I thought that was Fat Tony from the Simpsons: “I don’t get mad. I get stabby.” I kinda agree with the Dunst bandwagon. I just watched Spiderman 3 and found myself thinking it’s too bad they cast her in the first movie and were stuck having to put her in the next two. And for some reason I don’t like Meryl Streep either. It’s not that I don’t like her acting or anything in particular. I just can’t stand her big stupid face. And Ghanima, I totally agree about Al Pacino. It’s like he parodying himself (except in Insomnia, which was a great movie and had great acting on his part). Also, Scarface was kinda stupid. ---

Julia Roberts. Especially in that movie where she cries. I think it’s the same movie where she does that little annoying “cutesy” laugh. Oh wait, that’s every movie she’s in… god she’s annoying. ---

Man, lot of good actors mentioned so far, and some great ones. Makes me want to watch their movies. I got one: Richard Burton. I think the problem there is that he had a big personality that came through in every role whether it was appropriate for the part or not. I’ve never seen one of his movies, gotten into it, and forgotten I was watching Richard Burton instead of a character. (Even in movies where he’s technically flawless, like _Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?_) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movie-actors-you-cant-stand/418218.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movie-actors-you-cant-stand/418218.md?page=4)
