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!

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

Billy Bob Thornton. The prick.

The woman that played Cameron on "Halt and Catch Fire". Couldn't enjoy "Station 11" because she was in it.

Will Smith and Jared Leto for sure (including 2049, which was a disgrace compared to the masterpiece that is the original, despite me loving Arrival, Dune Part I and Sicario).

I also cannot stand anyone meant to appeal only to Americans, like Kevin Hart, Chevy Chase, Queen Latifah and all that stuff. Used to like Tom Hanks in the 1990s, but after that he became part of the latter group for me.

If you are ever going to try again watching a The Rock movie (I don't mind him at all, although not being calling me to watch a movie), please make it Hercules: that movie genuinely surprised me.

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

2049 is great. i think he's a cringey prick but if jared leto's screen presence can't kill fight club, american psycho, or requiem for a dream, he definitely can't kill blade runner.

i know lots of people prefer the original (and of course it's by far more influential) but you're the first i've seen call it a disgrace.

Jason Bateman. Used to be Jeremy Renner and Tim Robbins so I guess it’s an unconscious bias against little guys with too-big faces for their features.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Julia Stiles. Saw her in Save the Last Dance and some other movie and absolutely could not get on with the movie. It's like she's not acting or doesn't know how to act. She's kind of like in audition mode the entire time and I just don't get anything from her face or her actions. I sometimes get the same thing from Keanu but at least I like the movies he's in. With her I just rage quit 5 min in seeing her. She just ruins it for me. Also yes, also don't like The Rock. I'm sure we saw the same YouTube vid where the guy bashes on him for not knowing how to act as any other "character"... which when looking back, it's true. He's literally the same persona every god damn time.

[–] dajoho@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Came here to say Julia Stiles but you totally beat me to it! I cannot stand any film she is in either. It's really hard to describe, but your description is spot-on. It's like an empty husk with makeup has been made to act.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 0 points 16 hours ago

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.

Ben Stiller

I just can’t. He makes me anxious just seeing him on screen. I so want to watch Meet the Fockers because DeNiro is one of my faves, I just can’t do it.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 20 hours ago

I'd be really curious to hear your thoughts after watching the secret life of Walter Mitty.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

if it makes you feel better ben stiller just embarasses himself the whole movie

it was the same for me about Sandler until I saw Uncut Gems, finally he showed that he can act.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The reason he's good in Uncut Gems (and Punch Drunk Love) is that there is something genuinely frightening in how unhinged he seems when he is acting.

Til Schweiger and Kristen Stewart, they each know exactly one facial expression.

None. I dislike some actors, but so many other people pour part of themselves into these things and influence each other when developing them that it's impossible for me to not have at least some curiosity.

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Since the snow white disaster, rachel zegler.

Also, I can't really watch til schweiger movies. Or most german "comedy" movies.
