No I haven’t seen it yet. Its on my Netflix roster. However she would have to be some combination of Laurence Olivier, Gene Hackman, Ben Kingsley, Peter Ustinov, Johnny Depp, Dustin Hoffman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Alan Rickman, Timothy Hutton, Jodie Foster, Emma Thompson, Judi Dench, Rene Zellweger, and Olivia Williams in order to make up for the pure crap which she has offered up on screen so far.
17 posts and not one mention of Denise Richards? The contrast is greatest when she’s acting against Sophie Marceau (Mmmmm), but she even managed to ruin soft porn.
A point for Charlize… I haven’t seen anything with her in it but The Astronaut’s Wife, but she was decent.
Jack Nicholson. I’m tired of watching him play himself in every damn movie. Is even trying to act anymore?
Wow, that would include Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman and Sam Jackson. Sure you want to lump them in with the rest?
Okay, time to mention 2 new candidates for this category:
Bruce “Welcome to the Party Pal” Willis
and Nicolas Cage - yes Mr Cage is yet another Oscar winner in this Hall of Shame.
Actually on further reflection I’ve changed my mind. At least Paxton has the decency to get minor parts. I’ll switch him out in favor of Vincent D’Onofrio.
You are referring to The World is Not Enough right? Richards is so bad in that film that I am actully embarassed for her. I own the DVD and every time I watch it I have to skip the parts where she speaks (reads from a cue-card off camera). Sad because otherwise it would have been one of the best Bond films.
Absolutely. It’s a fantastic film (aside from the boat chase at the beginning, if I’m remembering correctly, I hate boat chases), and Dame Judi Dench gets a much bigger part where she can really be cool, and Sophie is just… heaven.
And every time Denise speaks, I have to curl up in a little ball and shake. How they got her with two of the most respected European actresses in the same movie… I’ll never know. Unless it’s some bitter, bitter commentary on what America has to offer.
Adam Sandler. Will he never go away?
Drew Barrymore…she was tolerable when she was still pretty. Now…not so much (she was pretty good in Donnie Darko, though, I must admit).
Anthony Hopkins. I recently saw Hearts in Atlantis, wherein his role seemed to consist entirely of staring upwards with his mouth slightly open like a fish. His other roles have been slightly better, but still…enough already.
Ben Affleck & Bridget Fonda
ADAM SANDLER MUST DIE
The answer is David Spade.
Sandler.
I don’t like Affleck’s acting, but I love making fun of him too much to hate him.
Jerry O’Connell – Stick to character parts as an annoying dork who desperately wants to be thought of as cool. This is how all your roles come across anyway, may as well pretend it is intentional.
Jada Pinkett Smith – Unfortunately I’m judging primarily from the two Matrix spin-offs, a day old bagel has more originality and charisma.
Another vote for Nic Cage. I would be more entertained watching paint dry.
Yeah, but he kicked ass in Raising Arizona.
“I’ll take this pack of Pampers and whatever you got in the register.”
For those people, I’d say it was more of a directorial failure, cuz they sucked when Lucas directed them. 
And I really shouldn’t condemn the thousands of extras that sucked…it wasn’t their fault. It was Lucas’. But that is a different rant.
Good catch, Chastain86.
LEt’s see, would that include:
Ewan McGregor?
Liam Neeson?
Christopher Lee?
Samuel L. Jackson?
Ian McDiamid?
Jimmy Smits?
Terrance Stamp?
Just checking.
We have a winner.
Tell him what he’s won, Don Pardo…
Black Hawk Down gets Josh off this list for me. He was perfect as a confused kid caught in a war (and no, that’s not meant to be insulting).
Juliette Lewis was awesome in Requiem for a Dream, so I can’t condemn her either.
Greg Kinnear- in As Good As It Gets he played the smartass Talk Soup host as a gay artist, in Stuck On You he played the smartass Talk Soup host as a conjoined twin, in Auto Focus he played the smartass Talk Soup host as Bob Crane, etc…
