Amen, brother! There is just something about Richard Gere that unsettles my stomach 
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 <toxic waste!> 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 Sly’s career (other than that it will be over in a few decades).
gasp! How could I forget to mention my arch nemesis:
Charlie Sheen!!
What an untalented, spoiled putz!
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, I’m sorry.
JTech: I mostly agree. However, his performance in “Platoon” redeemed him somewhat. The look on his face when he got the opium ‘shotgun’ 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 hasn’t worked on anything decent since Repo Man.(“Relationship? Fuck that…” as he climbs into the flying alien car).
Harrison Ford - I mourn for him. What happened to this man’s soul? He’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), I’ve hated this guy since he lisped his way through the crappy Island of Dr. Moreau a few years back.
*.Wayans - For God’s sake, somebody tell me how this clan came to power.
Chris O’Donnell - No talent, no charisma.
All I can think of at the moment.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. It taks a big man to do that 
No hard feelings…
Oh, and I forgot to add Kevin Costner to the list.
Amen, hallelujah, and yay-bo. And ick. I am quite female, and can’t stand this performer at all.
Someone hurl a brick at the head of Gwennyth Paltro, or whatever that Homunculus’ name is. In a word, “Vapid”.
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. It’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)???

EGAD!!!..how can you not enjoy Jonny Depp’s work, it’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) **

<Throwing gauntlet> I hate everything that David Lynch has ever done.
While I like a lot of Depp’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 Lynch’s “Let’s be weird for its own sake and pretend we have a thematic statement to make so we can call ourselves eccentric” drivel with any other director is kind of like comparing Marilyn Manson with Sisters of Mercy. IMHO. While I’m spouting, John Waters sucks too.
Now that I’ve dissed Lynch, my five least fave working actors are probably:
- David Spade (he was funny for 5 minutes, but they’re long over)
- Jeff Goldblum (would one of the dinosaur EAT him already. Even his commercials are badly acted)
- Calista Flockhart (Whiny, twitchy and without any substance)
- David Schwimmer (No further comment needed)
- David Duchovney (May the aliens not only keep him, but keep him from landing any more movie deals)
Lux Fiat: I’m a member of the “I hate Richard Gere” club, too. I can’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 I’m an old movie fan (that is, a fan of old movies, not an old fan of movies! right, Eve?), it’s time to throw in some oldies:
Shelley Winters – winner of the “I hope she gets offed in the first reel” award.
James Dean – you may call it method acting, but I call it looking like not having enough brains to keep your body stiff
Debbie Reynolds – I just wanna slap her silly
Jayne Mansfield – hand me an AK47
The little boy in “Shane.” “Shane — Shane — why, Shane – Shane ---- AAAAACK!!” That’s why, ya little creep.
Two words: William Shatner.
(runs heaving from the room at the very thought.)
Despair not, Lux, here’s another female who can’t find anything attractive or interesting in Richard Gere. Or Kevin Costner. Bland and sanctimonious, both of 'em.
Or Mel Gibson. I’m sorry, he’s an empty-eyed Ken doll. For all the beefcake flashing, he’s totally devoid of charisma–and personality, for that matter. Just a whole lot ‘o nuthin’ goin’ on, with zero chemical burn.
There are plenty more, but my brain is frying at the moment.

I usually pass on threads like this, since EVERYBODY is gonna hate SOMEBODY’s favorite actor-including me and mine.
oh yeah, one more…
Juliette Lewis
…big time.
