Amen, brother! There is just something about Richard Gere that unsettles my stomach šŸ™‚ ---

Sylvestor Stallone. He has not been in one good movie, even in a good movie in a small supporting role. The whole Rocky series sucked hard (even with Burgess Meredith in the first one). First Blood series was tremendously awful. Recently on TV I saw part of the one where he rescues people in a tunnel under the Hudson (closed because a truckload of red sawdust from a huge red pile \ blew up). He was supposed to be smart in this one, with a college degree, so he spoke bigger words faster. What a talentless hack whose consistency in designing and/or choosing garbage projects amazes me. I defy anyone in boardland to come up with one redeeming factor about Slyā€™s career (other than that it will be over in a few decades). ---

**JuanitaTech** , I apologize. I certainly did not mean to imply that one can not be overweight and be beautiful. That was not my intention at all. Again, Iā€™m sorry. ---

However, his performance in ā€œPlatoonā€ redeemed him somewhat. The look on his face when he got the opium ā€˜shotgunā€™ from a shotgun barrel was priceless. Funny movie: if Oliver Stone and Charlie Sheen had just found other work after that flick we would be looking at them differently now I bet. His father has done mostly ok stuff, and his brother Emilio hasnā€™t worked on anything decent since Repo Man.(ā€œRelationship? Fuck thatā€¦ā€ as he climbs into the flying alien car). ---

Harrison Ford - I mourn for him. What happened to this manā€™s soul? Heā€™s been an automaton for years now. Sean Connery - Autopilot. He must have it in his contract now that he will only play Captain Ramius over and over. Last straw: Dragonheart (heave!) Dennis Quaid - Again with the Dragonheart. What a ludicrous accent. David Thewlis - Speaking of Dragonheart (which sucks), Iā€™ve hated this guy since he lisped his way through the crappy Island of Dr. Moreau a few years back. \*.Wayans - For Godā€™s sake, somebody tell me how this clan came to power. Chris Oā€™Donnell - No talent, no charisma. All I can think of at the moment. ---

Someone hurl a brick at the head of Gwennyth Paltro, or whatever that Homunculusā€™ name is. In a word, ā€œVapidā€. also, I would appreciate it if The Powers That Be could put some tax dollars toward creating an Afflek-Seeking Missile. Something with submunitions, to eliminate any hangers-on. ---

Richard Gere, Meg Ryan also. Itā€™s funny, I used to hate Bruce Willis w/ a passion, but after watching a few of his movies, I like him a lot. I hate that little s#\*t from the pepsi commercial. What ever happened to Urkle (did I spell that right)??? ---

\*\* [/QUOTE] EGAD!!!..how can you not enjoy Jonny Deppā€™s work, itā€™s like saying you hate everything that David Lynch has ever done(if one is to say, one is also subject to a long and not very enjoyable death) \*\* [/QUOTE] \ I hate everything that David Lynch has ever done. While I like a lot of Deppā€™s work (enough that I can forgive him for (or at least forget he was in) 21 Jump Street and Edward Scissorhands, David Lynch is possibly the worst director working today. Comparing Lynchā€™s ā€œLetā€™s be weird for its own sake and pretend we have a thematic statement to make so we can call ourselves eccentricā€ drivel with any other director is kind of like comparing Marilyn Manson with Sisters of Mercy. IMHO. While Iā€™m spouting, John Waters sucks too. Now that Iā€™ve dissed Lynch, my five least fave working actors are probably: 1. David Spade (he was funny for 5 minutes, but theyā€™re long over) 2. Jeff Goldblum (would one of the dinosaur EAT him already. Even his commercials are badly acted) 3. Calista Flockhart (Whiny, twitchy and without any substance) 4. David Schwimmer (No further comment needed) 5. David Duchovney (May the aliens not only keep him, but keep him from landing any more movie deals) ---

Lux Fiat: Iā€™m a member of the ā€œI hate Richard Gereā€ club, too. I canā€™t detect any emotion behind those vacant, icky eyes. To paraphrase Eddie Murphy, RG reminds me of a big white dick. Not a hard one, either. As long as Iā€™m an old movie fan (that is, a fan of old movies, not an old fan of movies! right, Eve?), itā€™s time to throw in some oldies: Shelley Winters ā€“ winner of the ā€œI hope she gets offed in the first reelā€ award. James Dean ā€“ you may call it method acting, but I call it looking like not having enough brains to keep your body stiff Debbie Reynolds ā€“ I just wanna slap her silly Jayne Mansfield ā€“ hand me an AK47 The little boy in ā€œShane.ā€ ā€œShane ā€” Shane ā€” why, Shane ā€“ Shane ---- AAAAACK!!ā€ Thatā€™s why, ya little creep. ---

Despair not, **Lux** , hereā€™s another female who canā€™t find anything attractive or interesting in Richard Gere. Or Kevin Costner. Bland and sanctimonious, both of 'em. Or Mel Gibson. Iā€™m sorry, heā€™s an empty-eyed Ken doll. For all the beefcake flashing, heā€™s totally devoid of charismaā€“and personality, for that matter. Just a whole lot ā€˜o nuthinā€™ goinā€™ on, with zero chemical burn. There are plenty more, but my brain is frying at the moment. Veb ---
