For me it’s The Rock and Chris Pratt.
Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he’s in!
Jonah Hill
I don’t know why, I know nothing about him and I even had to look up his name because I had no idea what his name was. But there’s something that upsets me badly.
You can tell my generation has mostly aged out of social media because no one has said Pauly Shore.
What’s wrong with Pauly Shore?
What’s right with Pauly Shore? And please state your age.
Aw man, I already regret asking. Asking about an actor that you only know from 90’s movies is a rookie mistake
He aggressively hit on my sister once
Gal gadot and Elisabeth Moss for me. Also not a fan of Jason Momoa/Chris Hemsworth type of guys. Anything with them in the lead and I generally nope out. It has to do with the plain, flat, repetitive characters and lack of depth, not the physique (for example I respect dave Bautista evolution).
I struggle with Elizabeth Moss, too. The whole “being in a cult while making a show warning people about cults” thing is wild to me. Only other place I saw her was Mad Men and I found her unlikable. But I hated that whole show, really.
After your and the other commenter’s post I had to go check, I didn’t know she was in Scientology. Wow, that makes it even worse. Personally it is just her facial expression range (that is, a very narrow one), that irrationally makes her unlikable to me. I thought it was a good character representation in the first season of Handmaid’s tale, but then once I realized that it’s how she plays every character, or in every situation…
Elizabeth I’m ok with except I keep wanting to scream “leave the cult!” at the screen. Gal is gorgeous but bland
Gal is a terrible actress.
Like, a whole island full of warrior women had to put on an Israeli accent because she can’t do anything else.
Will Ferrel, Jack Black… the rock is rapidly getting there. Jada Plinkett Smith.
Glen Powell.
It’s like he was designed by a committee to make the most generic movie star white man imaginable.
He makes me want to buy a rape alarm, and I’m a man.
I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was revealed to not actually exist, and is in fact 100% CGI.
Jude Law. He creeps me out so much I can’t watch him. He’s been in the news for domestic abuse which doesn’t surprise me… I shudder watching him
Anthony Mackie
He has zero charisma and was largely responsible for bringing down the quality of Altered Carbon S2 (though the writers did him no favours) and was the most boring part of The Falcon & Winter Soldier.
I couldn’t bring myself to watch the new Captain America movie mainly because of him being in the lead role.
Whole heartedly agree.
His Black Mirror episode was also probably the most fucked up episode, and not in the fucked up way I want my Black Mirror episodes.
Matthew Broderick.
He’s an alright actor, but seeing him always reminds me of that time he got drunk (rumored) and killed two people with his car in Ireland but faced almost zero repercussions (he got a small fine).
Gawd I’d forgotten until I saw your comment. How is he not condemned for it?
This was mostly pre internet and he’s just never addressed it making it a non story. He claimed he had amnesia and couldn’t remember the accident which definitely at least feels like it adds evidence to the drunk driving claims… But, nothing ever came of it.
He was driving with Jennifer grey, she’s talked about it a bit and is obviously still traumatized, but she still backs up the ‘he was sober’ story that they managed to sell at the time.
Yes, that’s true. And he’s surely done something wrong to conveniently remember nothing, whether it was drink or not
Melissa McCarthy does that for me. It’s getting better, but for the longest time I’d see an interview with her about some project and she’s funny, charming, intelligent, and convinces me to check it out. Then I would watch the thing and it’s like “Haha fat girl poopoo fart.” .
The only two things I can say that I enjoy her in are Spy and Only Murders in the Building.
In both cases the rest of the movie/show carries her but she doesn’t actively make them worse like she does with 90% of the stuff I’ve ever seen her in…
Billy Bob Thornton. The prick.
Chris Pratt, Jack Black. Melissa McCarthy used to be on the list, but not anymore.
Surprisingly, Kevin Spacey isn’t on there. The man is disgusting, but I really like his work.
What changed with Melissa McCarthy?
I loved her in Spy and Only Murders in the Building but I haven’t seen anything she’s been in for AWHILE otherwise
I can’t stand comedy movies like Spy, or Identity Theft. That’s what made me not like her. Exposure to her roles outside of that typecast changed my opinion. Like Only Murders. I also thought she made a very good Ursula.
Spy was a movie that felt like it was making fun of her other roles in a way that made me enjoy it. The subversive aspect was good. I fully understand why it wouldn’t appeal to someone else though since it literally is the same character she’s played in a ton of other stuff.
Jon Hamm might have bodies hidden somewhere. That guy sets off so many red flags for me, but is beloved by everyone. I’m telling you, I’m pretty sure he might be evil.
I think just that the boring kind where you divorce your partner after becoming successful
The woman that played Cameron on “Halt and Catch Fire”. Couldn’t enjoy “Station 11” because she was in it.
Why don’t you like her? I’m not familiar with much of her work but literally stopped watching Black Mirror after the episode she was in because I knew it was going to get depressing again.
Its probably because her character in Halt and Catch Fire was probably the most unlikeable character. I’m aware that’s a terrible reason to dislike an actor. I can’t even say it’s because how she played the character as I have no idea how much was her vs director or writer.
Not a specific performer, but I avoid the It Girl stuff like the plague.
Sydney Sweeney, Jenna Ortega, Selina Gomez, those types where they’re going to be super hot products for a few years while they’re young and then they fall off once they age out of prime fuckability. I find it super disturbing, it’s like a sword is hovering over them.
Mel Gibson.
I renamed my cat because of this guy. I don’t really like to change animals names from what it was at the shelter in case they’re used to it, and I have a cat named Mel, who I suspect was named for him because there was another nearby cat in the shelter he came from named “Gibson”.
So I’ve renamed him after Mel Brooks.
Its common for shelters to name the pets themselves, as they don’t always come with one. They might have just been going down common famous names with no real intent behind it. My cat was originally named Miami, and her brothers and sisters all had american city names too.
I just can’t believe he asked Winona Ryder if she was an “oven dodger.” Wtf
I’m sad that I like a film of him, ‘We were soldiers’.
But I like the film because my dad took me to the cinema to see it, not because of the film itself.
Childhood’s trauma stuff and shits, that’s how it is and too bad it’s a Mel Gibson movie 🤷🏻♂️
I loved that film as it was a good film. Even Mel’s baggage can’t wreck it. Sam Elliott’s character was brilliant especially.
This is the first one I agree with. Everybody else, they’ve had good ones, and they’ve had bad ones, but their name alone doesn’t ruin anything for me.
I’ve heard there’s some weird stuff around Leto, so that might be worth avoiding him, but I never really paid attention, and I don’t think about that guy at all.
Boss Level looked interesting. When I found out he was in it…nope.
Absolutely. Take your bigoted self and go away Mel.
