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.

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

I wouldn't say I can't stand it, but I've grown to hating movies with The Rock in them. Not cause his acting sucks, but because it's the same shit with different special effects. But I enjoyed the Scorpion King, and Get Smart

Shia Labeouf. Generally I dislike him as an actor and almost everything he's been in.

But he was great in lawless which is one of my favorite movies.

I wonder if Will Farrell dislike is a generational thing? I grew up on Will Farrell in SNL and A Night at the Roxbury and loved every second of it.

On the other hand, Bill Murray was before my time, and I haven't liked anything he's done.

Gérard Depardieu is one of the worst representatives of his own species.

He's also one of the best actors.

I've always wondered about those brilliant actors being idiots and/or assholes. How can they at the same time show (what I believed to be) such deep understanding of their fellow humans? Or is it just pure mimicry, without any intelligence and empathy?

I definitely don't like the guy who played kylo ren.

Seems like his popularity was completely forced.

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

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Ben Stiller. I just can't get into anything he's in. He's just reading lines, nepo-baby for sure.

Exceptions: dodgeball, and tropic thunder, holy FUCK is he funny in tropic thunder

Yeah, Will Ferrell. I liked him in Zoolander, though.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bradley Cooper, he just seems like a smug douche.

Marky Mark, no exceptions.

I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.

Justin Long. I can't stand him for some reason. There are only 2 exceptions:

  1. Idiocracy - because that movie is so great otherwise and he is only in it for like 2 minutes.
  2. Tusk - Because the whole movie is about someone torturing him.

I really only liked Will Ferrell in Megamind tbh

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 8 points 1 month ago

Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine.

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

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

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.
