ahhh. i haven't seen that.

but yeah, that girl whines so much i want to reach into the movie and smack the shit out of her. her scenes in the house of sand and fog almost ruined it for me, but luckily ben kingsley saved the day!

― tres letraj (tehresa), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 07:09 (twenty years ago)

we could go for the easy, cheap answer with something like "Pauly Shore", but really, one can easily ignore a Pauly Shore flick(not that any are being made anymore), but there's NOTHING that says "THIS MOVIE WILL EAT DONKEY TURDS AND BE LOVED BY YOUR BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND AND HER SUBURBAN BREEDER FRIENDS" like Sandra Bullock in your movie.

― kingfish trampycakes (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 07:09 (twenty years ago)

i can't think of any actor who is so definitively axiomatic of a certain type of film that i am guaranteed to hate whatever they are in. schwarzenegger comes close.

hm, sandra bullock. i feel like she's been in some not-bad movies, but i can't think of what they are. 'crash' was certainly terrible.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 07:11 (twenty years ago)

but surely that rehab movie she was in cancels out anything remotely good that she's done!

― tres letraj (tehresa), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 07:12 (twenty years ago)

haha leno rerun and naomi watts is on and he just made the mulholland drive-falls mixup, too!

― tres letraj (tehresa), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 07:46 (twenty years ago)

Val Kilmer. Nothing screams "this movie is a bag of humourless shite" like the inclusion of Val Kilmer. Also, for me, Sean Penn. Do you want a dark, overwrought "actor's" movie about serious men's subjects that will numb you with the weight of its good intentions? Sean Penn's your man.

What about Bad Boys? He was pretty good in that film as well.

every film dude i've ever known has crushed MASSIVELY on her, and i sort of understand why (she appears in "smart" movies so it must make her seems "smart" by osmosis; she has that winona-but-less-insane bushy-eyebrows butch quality), but i think she always comes across as cheap and trampy.

enh. I liked The Natural & Sneakers.

Also, Sandra Bullock was ok before she became Sandra Bullock. We watched Demolition Man too many times during freshman year, and her movie with Denis Leary was more ignorable than excreable(sp?), i guess.

Ben Stiller

Liam Neeson as Irish person, any Irish actor as Irish person since film is inevitably awful and begins with people running away from explosions while a bodhrán plays at techno speed.

Sandra Bullock was in In the Bedroom and it was great and she was quite good. 28 Days, not absolute shite, but I mean, if you're going to slag her, go for Miss Congeniality, which she did TWICE, holy crap. But hey: money.

I have lost all patience for Kevin Spacey, who could have stopped at the Usual Suspects for me.
As with Ben Affleck, who could have begun and ended with Dazed and Confused. However, Matt Damon, should be in about 95840 more Bourne movies b/c that's the character he was born (haha) to play, really.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

Sean Penn: absolutely
Kevin Spacey: Se7en
Cameron Diaz: Charlie's Angels
Whoopie Goldberg: The Color Purple is unlike her other films.
Goldie Hawn: Private Benjamin?
The Rock: Rundown/Welcome to the Jungle, you funless monsters!
Miguel Ferrer: has never starred in a film, but was in Hot Shots Part Deux = free pass for life!
Eddie Izzard = any live standup video
Dadaismus in general: you're taking the piss, or you're a professional contrarian.

Rob Schneider: Jaws (I make joke! actually he's terrible)
Jude Law: Gattaca
Morgan Freeman as magical old man: That's cheating. Oh all right, Unleashed/Danny The Dog
Liam Neeson: fair enough
Any Irish person in any Irish film: watch Intermission!
Leonardo Di Caprio: The Baseball Diaries
Talking Animal: The Jungle Book
John Hannah: has he actually starred in anything other than Sliding Doors (also, the Mummy is getting a right kicking here, is anyone going to nominate Rachel Weitz?)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

but Andrew, most of those flicks come from very early in the actors/actresses career(e.g. Christopher Lambert, Jennifer Connelly, Goldie Hawn, Val Kilmer, Natalie Portman), become they became pop phenomena with a very defined image that's marketed on. That's what I meant by "Sandra Bullock before she was Sandra Bullock"

And who hates Christopher Lambert movies?

Julia Roberts: maybe Flatliners?
Chris Rock: fine in Dogma
Jennfier Lopez: U-Turn
Sean Penn: U-Turn
Whoopie Goldberg: Jumpin' Jack Flash roolz!
Goldie Hawn: that one with Dudley Moore?
Jude Law: I like him in A.I.
Liam Neeson: Kinsey is probably OK

― kingfish trampycakes (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm no particular fan of the Lair of the White Worm, but you have to admit it's atypical (thank you, kelstar) of Hugh Grant films (and as kingish points out, the sort of thing he doesn't do any more).

Yeah, if you hate Anchorman, then it's safe to say that you hate ~~life~~ Will Ferrell. What are your views on Anchorman?

You are taking the piss now, Dadaismus. If you hate Jurassic Park, Fight Club, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Leaving Las Vegas, Dead Man, Ed Wood, Raizing Arizona, Con Air, Jurassic Park, Wild at Heart, Kill Bill and Face/Off, then you are some kind of robot.

Robin Williams has gone out of his way to make atypical films, but Insomnia is atypical among them, in that it's actually good.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

For the second Anchorman, read Zoolander.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

The transitional homeless shelter that i volunteer at has a voice vote for the movie they'll all watch that night.

last week it was "Wild At Heart." I was happy, as it was such a perfectly odd choice.

previous selections: "Bullitt," "Dawn of the Dead"

― kingfish trampycakes (kingfish 2.0), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

Wow! Will Ferrel is in the Producers. I might go and see that, mainly as I enjoyed the Uma suspender belt bits in thr trailer.

Let me see ... Anchorman ... was forced to watch it in a weird social politeness trap with former housemates. Found it trite, full of stale jokes, badly shot, clunkily scripted and failed to care about any of the main characters. I hated it and drank over a bottle of red wine during watching to numb the pain, threw up and went to bed. Fun evening.

I also hated Zoolander.

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

The thread title states "if _______ stars in your movie, i will probably hate it" not "if _______ stars in your movie, i will probably hate it"

Actually I do hate Fight Club, Leaving Las Vegas, and Wild at Heart. They're all SHITE.

I don't hate Ed Wood (but I do hate Johnny Depp in it), Raizing Arizona, or Jurassic Park

I don't hate Kill Bill but I don't like it much either

Haven't seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Dead Man, Con Air, or Face/Off

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

You know, that's a good point, Dadaismus.

Anchorman's an aquired taste alright, but it must really suck to hate Zoolander in the modern world.

Haha no offense jel, but you do have the most non-hivemind taste of anyone ever. Surely you're used to it by now?

this is WHY i hate her! she was whiny as a 13 year old, and then when i saw requiem for a dream all i could think was, 'OH NO IT'S THAT WHINY BITCH FROM LABYRINTH! AND SHE'S STILLLL WHINING!!'

Ooh yes, Catherine Zeta Jones. Also Renee Zellweger can join Keira in my list. I did see Pirates of the Caribbean, Andrew. It was ok, mostly redeemed by the Depp, but I had recently seen that one movie about the young Sikh lady who wants to play football and stuff (gah I can't remember the name!), and she'd annoyed me too much in that to be un-annoyed by her as Wench of the Caribbean.

Andrew Farrell's post is OTM and proves there are almost always exceptions.

Ryan Phillippe, though I have to admit I liked Way of the Gun and Gosford Park, but I feel both movies would have been much better with someone else in his roles. I had some espionage thriller flick he was in on my Netflix queue for like 2 years that I kept pushing back, and it eventually made its way to my home, and I sent it back without watching it.

Ben Affleck. I did enjoy that car crash movie he was in with Samuel Jackson where he played an entitled rich asshole. His bro Casey is much better.

Keanu Reeves. Did a good job basically playing himself in the first Matrix, but one reason the sequels sucked so bad is because he had to be all heroic and shit. For many years, it never failed that this talentless anus was cast in movies that I would have wanted to see otherwise.

Same deal with Johnny Depp, though to a lesser degree (and I do think he is great in certain roles - flamboyant ones like Fear and Loathing and Pirates). I had zero desire to go see Public Enemies because of this dude. Something about him just rings false to me.

Definitely agree with people upthread about Sandra Bullock and Minnie Driver (not that Driver has a career anymore). They are both like kryptonite.
