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!

      But Schweiger provides so much entertainment value! Especially when someone publically disapproves of him or his work, and he totally escalates!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Uncut Gems was a damn masterpiece, pure stress and anxiety from start to finish. He deserved an Oscar nom for that at the least.

      Agree with the Awkwafina sentiment, I think for me it’s that she got famous for her music/comedy (not sure which had the most impact in her career) then slipped into acting like Kevin Hart and other comedians tend to do.

      Not that it shouldn’t be done, but I feel like she hasn’t really proven herself on screen. Also, the Awkwafina moniker is a bit detrimental if being taken seriously on stage is her goal.

      I +1 that Will Smith sentiment.

      I feel like a hypocrite somewhat, since I’m aware of other actors who did far worse things and yet I’m not as put off in a similar manner. I guess it’s easier to separate the art from the artist in some people more than others…

        He was great in action/comedy big blockbuster flicks but that Oscar slap made him super insecure and uncool. Like he lost his swag. Will Smith doesn’t sell that he’s That Guy anymore

    I mean there’s a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:

    • Danny Masterson
    • Bill Cosby
    • Kevin Spacey
    • James Franco
    • Kevin Sorbo
    • Tom Cruise

    So it’s not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.

    For the dumbest reasons, I can’t enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she’s absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain’t great. I also didn’t enjoy Heather Graham’s acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock’s acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.

        Oh, he went right-wing religious. I think he was a Jan 6th denier/supporter saying it was antifa. His views on atheists was weird. Like, when he did the Gods Not Dead movie and he was playing an “atheist” he was like, I had to get into the mind of an atheist and be the most despicable person or something.

        He’s been a bit looney on Twitter for a while now.

        Although I haven’t checked in for a while. I haven’t checked since awkward Hitler took over.

      Kevin Spacey has been great or straight up magnificent consistently, lol, is it the moral aspect that disturbs you? I firmly believe (and evidence keeps piling up!) that most Hollywood actresses were couch casted, many boys were touched and the cycle repeats. The entire entertainment industry is compromised and has been for years (check out who taught Diddy his tricks). Nvm the “Hollywood accounting” too, money laundering and all of that.

      Basically, if you’re enjoying American media, odds are it was made by someone who’s gonna go straight to Hell, no “Go” no 200 bucks, and bigger odds than whoever is making money out of your purchase/rental is going to an even lower circle, lol. Just pirate it and you take away your contribution to amorality, right?

        A lot of actors are terrible people but Kevin Spacey specifically seems to play it up irl for some reason?

        After he got booted for the whole thing he started making videos on his YouTube channel telling the world that he would come for them and that they would regret hurting him while in character as a villain from projects he’s worked in in the past.

        He’s the only actor I know of that knows exactly why people don’t want to see him and continues to play into that specifically for some reason…

      I had an internal laugh to myself in the Wonder Woman movie when the Amazons had an Israeli accent. I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.

        lol dude, I watched Baywatch, San Andreas, Rampage, SkyScraper, Jumanji and Central Intelligence from what I remember with my ex. I swear to God those movies get blurred in my mind due to his “samey” character/acting.

        I think some of the movies you could argue that aren’t shite of the Rock’s are Rundown, Jumanji, Moana, and maybe some of the Fast and Furious movies. Although, I never really watched those (I’ve only see the first) but other people seem to enjoy them.

    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.

    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).

        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.

    • Leonardo DiCaprio (I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’ve believed he was a shit actor forever and there’s a reason it took him so long to get an oscar…and it wasn’t because of “snubbing”…he was just routinely shit up until the Revenant.)

    • John Travolta

        Phil Hartman has honestly been gone for so long now I’ve forgotten him. But yeah, you are correct.

        As for Bill Hader. He’s the best of a bad bunch, and he’s okay, but being one of the better SNL alums is a very very low bar to cross.

        And I mean, yeah…I should definitely clarify that I’m not talking about classic SNL (Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, etc…) That generation made great films after their careers at SNL ended.
