- Blake Lively
Marion Cotillard??

Gotta disagree with the Michael Douglas comment - him and the Sheens were phenomenal in Wall Street.

However, you watch the new version of Wall Street with Shia - what a complete and utter tragedy that movie was. Dude manages to 'overact' every scene and pisses you off with every word from is mouth.

Taylor Lautner.

He gets ignored mostly because he is not Robert Pattinson, but I just saw a trailer for this plug on TV for a movie opening called Abduction. But it's set to fail because:
A. He's only a teenage girl heart throb.
B. They gave this acting brick an action movie.
Males/appreciators of good taste don't want to see him, and girls don't want an action movie, fail all around.

Anyway - Ashton Kutcher, Will Farrell, and Steve Carell top my chart. They play the same person in every role they're in, and I don't find any one of them entertaining. Michael Cera also fits into this category, although he does not annoy me quite as much because I actually liked him in Superbad.

Likely because she's always messed up on drugs.

By that reasoning he was great in every other movie he's ever been in because he is the exact same in every movie he's ever been in.

BTW, I'm not a fan of The Social Network (probably the only person on the planet).

While were on the subject of The Social Network, why oh why does Justin Timberlake continue to get roles? The tandem of he and Eisenberg was enough to make that movie unwatchable.

These hate threads just flourish, and eventually if they're able to stay alive long enough every actor/actress' name will be presented by someone at some point. I've basically come to understand that the more fame you receive, whether your talent is at par with it or not it runs along a parallel line with the number people that start despising you, and the degree they hate you with.

I agree with you about this kid being a sucky suck, but disagree with the bolded part. I love a good action flick. Lots of girls like action movies. It's not just the men that love Die Hard.


Totally agree about Timberlake. I can't stand him in acting roles. Stick to singing, dancing, SNL and generally being sexy. Stop acting. That new one about buying time or some garbage, I couldn't stand him in the previews. Can't imagine sitting through a movie where he is supposed to carry the whole thing.

As for January Jones, she really is bad. She is easily the worst part of XMen. She's brutal on Mad Men, and I gave her the benefit of the doubt and initially assumed that it was just the character that I didn't like, but after seeing her in other roles, she is just horrible. Stick to being a pin up.

I will add Katie Holmes to the list. She annoys me.

For those of you who avoid Paul Walker movies just because of him (I know I did, until this was recommended) check out Running Scared. Great action flick, with some very memorable scenes.

That tall red head from That 70s Show.
That short brunette with the big eyes is pretty good though.

Funny you should mention that. Remember all the accolades she got during season one for her performance as Betty? Do we still here the same accolades? Nope. The world figured it out.

What about Howie Long?

I mean, I love completely terrible movies but even I had to turn Firestorm off.

Wow, I don't see how Jim Carrey deserves to be called a bad actor. He's done some great roles, and his silliness in the silly roles is very silly. Man in the Moon is an awesome movie that combines both silliness and great acting. A tough role for any actor I think and done so well by Carrey.
