For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Gonna take it in a slightly different direction and pivot the question to music. And in that case, Red Hot Chili Peppers, it's time to stop. I get it, it was cool and unique. But now, it all sounds the same, and you headline every festival ever and I can't enjoy the same 5 songs being crammed down my throat for the next 5 decades to come still. Please stop. I know you "can't stop", but please, please, stop.

Danny McBride. I can grit my teeth if he's playing a small role, 30 Minutes or Less was pushing the limit, but he so often plays the same insufferable, arrogant asshole and he plays it too well.

Adam Sandler. I personally feel that his humour is aimed at school children - making silly faces and silly voices and basically making fun of the disabled or neuroatypical - but it's marketed to adults.

But I like 50 First Dates. He's mostly not a shouting toddler in that.

I cannot, for the life of me understand the appeal of Russell Crowe. Except I have no problem with his brutish density in L.A. Confidential.

Anya Taylor Joy. Her acting skills include shocked gasps and looking indignant. But something about her face/eye structure just makes her look alien.

Then they put her in Furiosa and gave her that stupid makeup that just accentuates the odd bone structure and now I can't unsee it.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

She really does look like an alien with that huge eye gap.

Leo DiCaprio. No exceptions. The movies he's been in that I've enjoyed were enjoyed despite him and not because of him.

His entire approach to a character is to put on an over-the-top accent and call it a day. I've never had the sense that any of his characters were the actual character and weren't just "Leo with an accent". I'll be fair and say that he has improved in recent years, with movies like The Revenant being tolerable.

But holy shit, how his career went anywhere when people saw his "acting" in Titanic and especially Romeo and Juliet, is mind-boggling to me.

Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine.

He's OK in other stuff but it's not my bag unless it's the fucking mask 👌

Vin Diesel. Nothing against the guy personally, but his whole dumb guy thing just irks me.

better than rock, lol, rock was such camera whore.(all those complaints against him during 2F2F.

John C Riley is an uncomfortable mess in everything he's in and I cannot stand it. The exception is everything he's in, which is delightfully uncomfortable.

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Chicago is my favorite of his

Owen Wilson. He has one tone and always looks spaced out.
