Jack Black. Seems like a nice dude, but he’s a an annoying presence in every movie he’s in. His is the definition of a “sweat act”.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He turned his back on his bandmate after said bandmate made a joke about wishing Trump got assassinated, and he condemned palestine for standing up to their oppressors. He's a shitlib at best

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

To be fair, the only Palestine comments I've seen were from immediately after Oct 7, when that was a fairly reasonable take.

Still though, total sellout. Tenacious D defined my adolescence and it's really disheartening to watch JB heel turn after tasting that Kung Fu Panda money.

Thank you. I can't stand his humor. Cringe on top of cringe with a side of cringe with nothing to balance out the cringe. Just not my cup of tea.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's the guy that can be brilliantly funny about 1% of the time, but that 1% is completely canceled-out by the 99% of other material, which is him just randomly throwing shit at the wall. He's truly awful and I dread seeing him.

This is the one I'm most in line with ... I enjoyed him in the first Guardians movie the first time I watched it, but having seen more of his acting I think that was either dumb luck or great directing.

I actively avoid watching stuff with him in now, including the first Guardians movie. He gives off a bad vibe to me.

Jared Leto, Tom Cruise. Here on Lemmy they might not be as loved as in the general population, but these pieces of shit posing as human beings are definitely loved more than they should.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I think the world turned a bit on Leto after his rat-mailing phase while playing the joker. But I'd say he probably still doesn't engender as much antipathy as he should in the general populace.

Can't argue with Tom Cruise, though. Admittedly he seems like a nice guy, but the whole funding America's biggest and most dangerous cult definitely hampers that.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Why does this man have an acting career?

[–] blady_blah@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He plays one character, but the character is kind of likable and funny. To me he's the definition of a popcorn flick actor.

Jack Black. I think it was around the time he started up his Jablinksy crap on Youtube. There were tons of "organic posts" on reddit about it and it just didn't sit right with me. Ever since I can't stand him.

Zendaya, very boring actress

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She's very typecast, but she can act. If she actually got a role where she could show strong emotion, I think she could rise to it well. She's good in Challengers and great in Euphoria.

Gal Godot.

I'm very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of attractive women. That being said, if I didn't feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn't made anyone else's list because it's such a low hanging fruit.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy 'imposter syndrome' vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn't be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I've never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he's 'acting', and never really embodies the characters or reacts 'in the moment'. It's all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

I hate that he became Scorsese's new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.

Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let's be honest, there's no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.

Ben Afflict.

Was very weird how everyone liked that he was chosen as Batman, he was such a bad Batman. He actually gave rich prick vibes.

[–] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not defending Affleck here, but isn’t Bruce Wayne a rich prick?

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

No, he pretends to be but deep down he cares more about justice.

Or at least that’s the version I’m used to from Christian Bale’s Batman and the games.

In the dark knight trilogy, Bruce intentionally lives on the streets for a few years and only goes back to use his money to fight injustice.

The whole point of Batman is a rich guy who has a very strong moral compass cause his parents were murdered. It’s not suppose to be realistic, it’s a fantasy.

I most loved how Kevin Conroy's Batman from the Animated Series portrayed this aspect of the character. Conroy did measurably different voices for Batman and Bruce which made it completely clear that Bruce was the false persona being put on for appearances while Batman was the real voice and personality, and also sold how good Batman was at pretending to be Bruce when needed. Conroy's Batman isn't just a ninja genius detective, he's also a good actor, and to portray that as well as he did Conroy had to be an awesome actor.

Ryan Reynolds. Man got married on a plantation and no one seems to care, plus he plays the same character in everything he's in.

I don't like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them "I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end" and the agent just says okay.

They're pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it's pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.

Will Ferrell. He's a creep. He's not funny and is way too keen to play the love interest of actresses much younger than he is.

Tom Hanks.

He seems like a lovely person. I just can't stand seeing him act.

Julia Roberts.

She was awarded a Best Actress trophy or whatever the fuck it's called... She couldn't even act surprised. Because she obviously knew she was getting it ahead of time.

Anthony Mackie. Nothing particularly offensive about him, but he's a bit of a charisma vacuum and that constant pinch-faced expression irritates me for some reason.
