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.

This is the first one I agree with.

Everything I hear about him manages to make me hate him even more than I already did. On top of all of that he can't act.

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.

I'd agree Will ferrel sucks but The Oblongs was one of the best adult cartoons ever.

Didn't we have this discussion just a few weeks ago?

My answer remains Tom Hanks. With the exception of one scene in Dragnet.

[-] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Basically all of them. At this point I feel like all celebrities are vapid shitty people. I don't want to participate in para social relationships.

[-] cloudless@piefed.social 1 points 8 months ago

Will Ferrell for sure.

[-] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Zac effron, zoey dechanel or whatever shes called.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Zoey disappeared

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 1 points 8 months ago

Shia LeBeouf was tolerable (some might even say good) in Fury, but other than that, yech.

Tom Hanks.

He knows what he did.

Was it fucking the volleyball because I think that was his finest performance.

Unpopular Opinion: Joe vs the Volcano is insanely overrated.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Meryl Streep sets my teeth on edge for some reason. She's hailed as a fantastic actress, but she always comes across as plastic and fake to me.

I did like Fantastic Mr. Fox, but she only did a voice for it.
