Actors and Actresses people like but you can't stand?

[WillParkinson]

Will Ferrell
Tom Cruise
Steve Carell

And I'm sure there's plenty of others...

[GCP]

1. J-LO

I just can't stand her.

[CanuckAmok]

123. Um, it says "actors and actresses"... she's neither.

So you have to pick another one.

[bertha katzenengel]

2. Michael Caine. Won't see "Hannah and Her Sisters" or "The Cider House Rules"

because he's in them. The only role I could watch him in was in "Mousetrap" and that was such an AWESOME movie.

[devilgrrl]

7. Not even 'The Quiet American'?

Interesting... he's one of my favorites. :crazy:

[bertha katzenengel]

8. Now, that one intrigued me. Perhaps I'll see it one day.

Hmm.

[devilgrrl]

10. What's the deal, is it a he just grates on you kind of thing?

Don't tell me. It had to be that movie 'The Hand'.... that did him in for you, didn't it?

:silly:

[bertha katzenengel]

12. No, he doesn't grate. I honestly don't kknow what it is.

Never saw "The Hand." Was it horror?

I did see "Dead Ringers" and somehow, somehow, :scared: I still love Jeremy Irons.

[Gato Moteado]

15. did you see "man who would be king"?

he's in that one and its awesome

[bertha katzenengel]

Nope.

Hmm. Now there are two I have to try to watch. :)

[CanuckAmok]

124. Yeah, "The Man Who Would Be King", and also "Get Carter"....

Two movies Michael Caine is great in.

[devilgrrl]

17. I guess I'm like that with Kenneth Branaugh

It happens. :shrug:

Check out 'The Quiet American' if you get a chance - it's a good movie.

[VeggieTart]

16. "The Cider House Rules" was excellent, Michael Caine or no.

I hate that furbitch J-Lo. I am sick of Tom Cruise, whose talent started disappearing around the time he got sucked into the $cientology machine. I will never again see a movie involving Mel Gibson (although I am probably not alone in my disgust for him).

[bertha katzenengel]

25. Furbitch?

What's that mean? :rofl:

I read The Cider House Rules. It was great, and that's enough. You know what? As I read, I could totally see Michael Caine playing the doctor. :shrug:

[VeggieTart]

27. Ol' J-Lo loves the clothes made out of dead fur-bearing animals.

If it's fur, she will wear it.

[u4ic]

30. How about "Without a Clue"?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096454/

(Guess I'm biased, because I love the movie) :hi:

[philosophie_en_rose]

38. He was brilliant in A Muppet Christmas Carol.

:bounce:

[electron_blue]

97. not even Zulu??? He was terrific in that.

Btw, other than Zulu, I'm not a fan of his.

[skygazer]

3. Jim Carey

Does nothing for me (though I did like both The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

42. hated him on Living Colr

hate him now-seems to have a knack for fucking up cool things with portrayals (The Grinch, Andy Kaufman)

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

43. and Mike Myers

Fucking egomaniac Peter Sellers wannabe

[mvd]

100. Jim and Mike make me laugh every time

Makes up for any personality deficiencies they MIGHT have. Who knows.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. jennifer aniston & jennifer lopez,

[NYYFan]

5. TOM CRUISE

I've hated him ever since Top Gun. I personally think he's an overrated hack. He makes all actors around him look bad. Note: Nicole Kidman won her oscar- AFTER she was free of the fidget. This new TomKat phase just made him even worse.

Actress: Kim Basinger. Horrible. Oscar- fluke.

[devilgrrl]

6. Count me in on the Tom Cruise sucks brigade...

I don't get it.

[Marie26]

9. Gwenyth Paltrow. nt

[WindRavenX]

20. me too

And if she breaks up Coldplay...:grr:

[Lethe]

31. you remember a while back when Paltrow was on TDS?

Jon was asking her non-stop questions about Chris Martin, Coldplay, etc.

you could tell she was pissed lol.

[Darth_Kitten]

48. I don't think anybody likes her....

pretentious #$#$$##@. :)

[laheina]

68. I agree...

Especially with the stuff that's been coming out of her pie hole lately. :eyes:

[WolverineDG]

117. ::waves hand::

there is just something about her that makes me want to scratch her eyes out.

dg

[kedrys]

118. Me too

But I didn't realized to what extent until I mistakenly sat through Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Jeesh.

[LisaM]

11. Demi Moore

also, Nicole Kidman.

[blondeatlast]

13. John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Aniston, and I didn't like

Tom Cruise BEFORE it was fashionable!

[fizzgig]

14. nick cage

:puke:

[Gato Moteado]

19. oh nicholas cage is awesome

i thought he was great in "adaptations" and "bringing out the dead" and several other films as well

[stanwyck]

24. Me, too.

I wish he'd quit getting leading man roles. I liked him just fine in "Raising Arizona" but I avoid most movies he's in. He never generates any heat with his leading ladies. I think he's better at character roles or playing the villian. But as the leading man? No thanks.

[Proud MD Liberal]

50. But...

As an archivist in real life, National Treasure is a hoot of a movie.

[datasuspect]

88. i second that emotion

overacting hack

[femmocrat]

18. I could never, ever stand Carol Burnett.

[bertha katzenengel]

23. Not criticizing you for that, but I'll tell you about Carol Burnett:

She saved my life. :)

I was in the mental hospital for two months in 1986. I watched reruns and re-read her book many times. It soothed me when I wasn't working on getting better.

[Jade Fox]

61. Her childhood was very interesting....

as I recall from when her book first came out.

[Shell Beau]

35. Aw, Carol?

I guess we all have our downfalls!!


:P Teasing!

[bertha katzenengel]

21. My sister won't see anything with Gene Hackman. He's one of my favorites!

Like Devilgrrl not understanding my dislike of Michael Caine, I don't get my sister not liking Gene Hackman. I love him.

[devilgrrl]

26. Oh, I love Gene Hackman...

French Connection
Superman I & II
Bonnie & Clyde
etc...

[gmoney]

90. If someone avoided Michael Caine and Gene Hackman...

that rules out about 80% of the movies made in the 90's. :) They were in EVERYTHING!

[Gato Moteado]

22. ahnold

his movies blow

[bluedigger]

28. Can't think of his name but

That guy on the TV Guide channel with the gray patch in his hair (used to be on E, I think)

Smarmy little puke!

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller. Ew!

[WillParkinson]

59. Yes to Ben Stiller!

I couldn't remember his name.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

72. I'm with you there!

Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller are just STUPID.

I like intelligent humor, which is rare in Hollywood nowadays.

[eyesroll]

32. Russell Crowe.

:shrug:

[fidgeting wildly]

65. Me too!

I know a lot of people like him, but I can't stand the guy.

[mvd]

103. Yeah, I have to agree that he's arrogant

Though acting-wise he might not be too bad.

[Shell Beau]

33. I don't really care for Scarlett Johansen,

Angelina Jolie, or now Tom Cruise! :shrug: No particular reason! Okay, so I am a huge Jennifer Aniston fan, so that might have something to do with the Angelina thing!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

44. i liked her until she won an oscar

then she decided to star in nothing but crap - see also: Nicholas Cage

[QMPMom]

34. William Peterson - the guy on

CSI, Vincent D'Onofrio, Tom Cruise, J-Lo, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony.

[Mojambo]

45. Thank you!

I can't stand that guy on CSI!

I have never been able to sit through a whole show.

[QMPMom]

62. That smug, I'm-smarter-than-everyone persona and swagger

just makes me ill. I just found out last week that DH can't stand him either!

[Darth_Kitten]

107. I like Vincent D'Onofrio

he's a great character actor. :)

[Lethe]

36. Jack Black

not my bag

[KatyaR]

37. J-Lo, Adam Sandler, and . . .

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

I can't help it--they both give me the creeps.

[philosophie_en_rose]

39. Lindsey Lohan, Stacey Ferguson, Alyssa Milano

[Shell Beau]

40. Who is Stacey Ferguson? Fergie from the Black Eye Peas?

[philosophie_en_rose]

46. Yes. And she counts as an actress. Just a bad one.

She was on the Disney channel many years ago, in a show that makes her hip hop persona appear even more lame than it is.

[mvd]

94. I guess Alyssa's a fair actress, but..

I love her personality and think she's really attractive. Lindsay has become a little annoying - headlines about her are getting Hollywood stale.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

41. Julia Roberts

Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Russel Crowe, Drew Barrymore

[Darth_Kitten]

47. Kate Winslet

Gawd, she bugs me. Really and truly.

[Shell Beau]

49. Awww!! I love all the Brit Kate's!

KAte Winslet, Cate Blanchet, and Kate Beckinsale!

[Darth_Kitten]

51. Kate's a shallow phony......

grateful for nothing: she has a nice career,money, husband, kids, etc and she was knocking her ex?

I say be grateful, you two-bit junior high school dropout flake.

[Shell Beau]

52. Wow! You REALLY don't like her!

Don't we all knock our exes from time to time? Anyway, we have the right to not like someone even when others disagree!! ;)

[Darth_Kitten]

91. She just irritates me, and I trust my instincts about people......

:)

[mvd]

95. I'm with you

I love her acting and she's pretty classy from what I've seen.

[blonndee]

80. Me too, except Beckinsale.

She's okay, but I'm crazy about Kate Winslet (she's my absolute favorite actress), and I think Cate Blanchett is fantastic.

[Kire]

81. Cate Blanchett is Australian

She learned to act in Sydney theater. I really lover her too.

[mvd]

102. Awww.. Cate is one of my favs

[smirkymonkey]

53. Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst,

Sienna Miller, Jude Law, Kate Hudson, Owen Wilson, Jeremy Piven, Keira Knightly... many others.

There are some celebrities I like however, but in general, most of them annoy me.

[Shell Beau]

55. Okay, most of these I could let slide but Jack Nicholson????

:wow:

He is one of my FAVES!!

[smirkymonkey]

57. He just gives me the creeps.

I find him extremely smarmy and unattractive.

[Kat45]

74. I agree with you on Jack.

Though I did like him in "The Departed." That surprised me.

[Darth_Kitten]

109. Jack Nicholson plays......Jack Nicholson in every role!

He's become a one trick pony. :hide: :popcorn:

[CBHagman]

82. I am absolutely with you on Jack Nicholson.

When Reds was issued on DVD, one of the critics pointed out that Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Eugene O'Neill was perhaps the last relaxed performance he did (or words to that effect).

Nicholson has been doing shtick for decades. I've no use for it, and in addition, I have an extremely bad impression of him as a human being, for various reasons (Yes, I know he recycles, but it's going to take more than that).

One of my dearest friends insisted that we watch the conclusion of The Witches of Eastwick on TV some years ago. We're still friends, but I've not forgotten being put through that!

[smirkymonkey]

120. That's exactly how I feel about him - he doesn't act, he just does

his "schtick" and I have also have a bad impression of him from various things I have heard. He repulses me on an instictual level, I don't know why. Although usually when I have that feeling about someone, it ends up being for good reason.

[YDogg]

54. Tom Cruise

pretty much sums it up

[ikojo]

56. JOHN WAYNE....

racist and if he was living today, he'd be a neocon.

Can't STAND westerns.

Jim Carrey
Bruce Willis

[barb162]

58. Gary Oldman

[Mr. Blonde]

69. What what what?

I didn't know it was possible to dislike him. What is it you don't like?

[barb162]

75. Actually, I don't like anything about him

Maybe it's because he did that "Dracula" role. When I think of him, I think of that role

[Generator]

60. Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston

This was from the 80's-way before Bobby Brown and back when he made movies people went to that I could not stomach. A couple years ago Costner was on Bill Maher and I wanted to punch him-he was ranting about wanting to vote for Nader.

OH YEAH-bigger than both of them..all time hate or rama-"most beautiful woman in the world" Julia Roberts. She gags me.. One of the few movies I ever walked out on was Pretty Woman..and I have seen her in other things but she just ruins it for me. PLUS she broke Lyle Lovett's heart and a few zillion other guys-she's one of them-the always has a boyfriend while breaking up with another boyfriend in the wings. Sure she's married now, but I still don't trust her!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

63. Matthew McConaughey.

Oh, sorry, you said "actor."

[peekaloo]

89. I love it! He's tops for me. Add Sandra Bullock, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts

to my list.

[johnfunk]

64. Will Farrell and Gwyneth Paltrow

Can't abide either.

In fact, I think ELF would've been a lot funnier and even more critically acclaimed if Steve Carell (one of the first poster's least-liked) had been cast in the title role.

[Ikonoklast]

66. Steven Seagall

He may not count because I seriously believe anyone really likes him.

He makes me want to throw things.

[martymar64]

70. I hate Steven Segall

Maybe because I used to hear how he beat up on Kelly LeBrock.
Same for Wesley Snipes. He beat up Halle Barry so bad that it busted her eardrum.

I loath wifebeaters with a passion.

[MysticalChicken]

128. Steven Seagal sucks. (oooh, alliteration!)

Does ANYBODY like Steven Seagal? *crickets* ... Anyone? ... *tumbleweed* Anyone at all. Aaaaanyone? *cough from one person in the back* Well, it's official. Nobody likes Steven Seagal.

[laheina]

67. Jennifer Garner. Yick. nt

[mvd]

98. She's cool

I really think some of these are liked for a reason. Though you can't please everyone, I guess. :-)

[Boojatta]

71. Is the Original Post suggesting that I'm not a person?

Peter Ustinov has not yet been mentioned, so I assume that most people in the DU Lounge have been lucky enough to have never heard his annoying voice.

[bigwillq]

73. Tom Hanks

Tom Cruise (do people still like him? :shrug:)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

76. A young Tina Yothers on "Family Ties"

My gosh, I'm watching the early episodes of "FT" on Cable at the moment and she is just SO incredibly annoying and precocious

When she became a teenager, I began to like her a lot better but as a kid she was awful. Or perhaps she just played her designated role too well

[Broken_Hero]

77. Will Ferrell for one...

Steve Carrell for two...

and my third choice, Matt Damon/Ben Affleck...bleh...

[momophile]

78. does anyone like Keanu Reeves as an actor?

yuck!

[blonndee]

79. Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts,

Tom Cruise, Ben Affleck, Jim Carrey...

I usually try to avoid any movies with any of those people in them. Although I did think Jim Carrey did a fantastic job in Eternal Sunshine, Aniston was good in The Good Girl, and Closer was good DESPITE Julia Roberts.

[ganeshji]

83. Diane Keaton

Reese Witherspoon
Wesley Snipes
Lindsay Lohan
Jodie Foster (Only because I can never quite understand what she is saying).
Kevin Costner

[longship]

84. Anybody with a lame pop culture nickname

Like J-Lo or any number of lame pop culture musicians, whatever they call the kind of music (???) that's popular now.

[blondeatlast]

92. Those damn kids! Back in my day, they had names!

Sting, Cher, Bono, Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious...

Ah, those were the days... :rofl:

[nytemare]

85. Vince Vaughn.

I think his acting is sometimes funny, but for some reason I get a vibe about him that he is a complete and utter asshole in real life.

I could be wrong, but that is just the impression I get.

[smirkymonkey]

121. He does kind of have that aging fratboy thing going....

kind of gross at any age.

[njdemocrat106]

86. Colin Farrell (the definition of "dirtbag")

I'm not a Tom Cruise fan either, but I've liked Will Ferrell since his days on Saturday Night Live (he does a good Bush impersonation). I also don't care for Brad Pitt.

[mitchum]

87. Winona Ryder, Jack Black, Christian Slater

[cedahlia]

93. Angelina, Scarlett, Kirsten Dunst...

Kate Beckinsale, and any number of the other blaaah, overrated actresses that always seem to find work in Hollywood. These women regularly ruin movies for me. If I see a preview for a movie with any of them in it, I cross the movie off my list. I just can't stand them.

As far as their male counterparts go...Josh Hartnett, Paul Walker and Kevin Costner top the list. And I've started to feel this way about Tobey Maguire, too...I think he's kind of a one trick pony who had a lot of hype but is really just kind of boring.

[mvd]

96. Scarlett's personality leaves me cold

But it's not like I can't stand her. And I don't see any problem with Kirsten Dunst.

My choices would include J-Lo, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere (stop those romantic comedies!), Bo Derek, Angelina Jolie, Charlton Heston, Sandra Bullock, Quentin Tarantino, Drew Carey, Vince Vaughn..

[Darth_Kitten]

108. Kirsten Dunst is dull.

her attitude is pretty smug and dismissive. "Oh, so what if they don't like me, blah blah....."

You are "luckier" than 99 percent of the individuals in your profession. At LEAST appear grateful. :eyes:

[mvd]

110. Actually,

I don't find her dismissive or smug. Unique actually. Took a while for her to catch on.

[smirkymonkey]

122. Toby Maguire - Ugh!

I just have this urge to smack him every time I see him for some reason.

[NewJeffCT]

99. Does anybody like Cruise anymore?

But, I'd agree on Farrell.

Carell is fine, but I thought his big movie - 40 year old virgin - was only ok.

[distantearlywarning]

101. Jennifer Aniston.

People say she's hot, but I don't get it. If I saw her in the supermarket, I'd think she was just one more too-skinny, drab, lifeless soccer mom from the suburbs. Boooorrring.... *yawn*

I can totally see why Brad dumped her for Angelina. Now there's an interesting woman!

I also hate Jim Carrey. I won't see any movie he's in. He's totally full of himself, an attention whore of the worst kind, and isn't funny.

[Beausoir]

104. Julia Roberts. I never saw the allure. n/t

[terrya]

105. Julia Roberts.

The popularity of this woman baffles me.

[mvd]

115. Not really a fan either

Meg Ryan and Jennifer Aniston are better comedic actresses IMO, and Julia overacts a bit in the dramas.

[Shakespeare]

116. Have you noticed that she's very strategically linking herself to causes now?

Strikes me as totally bogus; she wouldn't open that collagen-injected mouth of hers to speak up for anything until her career stalled. Suddenly, she's featured on the cover of Vanity Fair with Clooney as some goddess out to save the environment. :eyes:

[Little Wing]

106. Ryan Reynolds

PURE HATRED

[Ramsey]

111. Meg Ryan

Julia Roberts
Diane Keaton

I dislike these 3 actresses so much I can hardly watch their films (no talent hacks that always play the same part- well Keaton did some good work when she was younger but not for at least 10 years now). Interestingly, I can watch Notting Hill, because Hugh Grant is always adorable, and I feel that Julia Roberts is really playing herself- a stuck up, bitchy actress.

I also loathe Woody Allen. He seems like such a horrible human being, and I don't like his films anyway.

I'm starting to feel this way about Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson, who have both turned out to be total whack jobs. That makes me especially sad about Mel Gibson, because I love some his older movies, including Tim, Mad Max, Gallipoli, Year of Living Dangerously, and Tequila Sunrise.

[SKKY]

112. Russell Crowe...

Oh how I wish he would throw a phone at me. I'd hit him with so many lefts, he'd beg me for a right. I know it's not
right. But I can't help it. I listen to an interview of his, and it makes me want to kick his ass. Plus, it's rather
obvious he's in dire need of one.

[judaspriestess]

113. Reese Witherspoon

Jennifer Anniston, I'm sure I'll get flamed but I don't care for Scarlett Johanson either, overrated IMO

[mvd]

114. I like Reese more since Walk The Line

Thought she did pretty well.

[benny05]

119. Arnold n/t

[CanuckAmok]

125. Owen Fucking Wilson

I love him in that movie where he plays the mugging lovable buffoon.

Oh, wait, that's all of them*.

What range.

*Except "The Minus Man"... I'll give him one kudo for that.

[CanuckAmok]

126. I'd say Rebecca Pidgeon, but nobody likes her.

Except David mamet.

[MysticalChicken]

127. I hate...

Ditto on Tom Cruise, can't stand him and won't see a movie if I know he's in it. I'm indifferent about Will Ferrell (I neither seek out his movies nor avoid them, but Stranger than Fiction was very good), but I do like Steve Carrell.

Hm, let's see:

Tim Allen (can't act his way out of a torn wet paper bag, and from all the accounts I've heard, he's kind of an a**hole)
Steven Seagal (...wait, nobody likes him)
Rob Schneider (I absolutely refuse to see anything that he's in for more than five minutes)

I know there are probably more, but I can't think of them.

[devilgrrl]

129. Dennis Hopper

Plays the same edgy lunatic in every role.

:boring:
