Actors You Refuse to Watch. - Blu-ray Forum

Spicoli · 01-03-2013, 03:29 AM

I dislike Adam Sandler and Jim Carey so much That I refuse to watch any of their movies. Though not totally true, (I have seen one from each, Funny People and Truman Show) I really can't stand to see either, they are not funny. Maybe I missed out, maybe not.

Are there any actors that you try to avoid at all costs?

For those who think actresses are a separate category I will include female actors into the discussion, for the record they were always included.

Actor means both lol

I agree with u about Sandler although Click was pretty good. However Jim Carrey's first 5 movies or so were great! Both Ace Ventura's, The Mask, Dumb & Dumber, & Liar Liar (his best) are all good. After that he lost me lol.

I havnt watched any Tyler Perry movies yet so I guess he would be one. Havnt watched and DDL movies although I tried to watch TWBB until I damn near fell asleep. I know he is a good actor from what I hear but the roles he chooses and how boring his films are, I just cant take it. Also dont care for Keanu Reeves but he has a couple under his belt that are decent. Got Em!!

what about Bruce Almighty?

If they work with one of my favorite directors, I'm going to give in eventually.

I remember when I was watching the Total Recall trailer, I didn't know who was all cast yet. Then it was revealed that Jessica Biel was cast as Melina, and I let out a very disappointed sigh. Being an unnecessary remake by a hack director made it an easier decision to not watch it. If there's ever a movie with her as the lead, I would definitely refuse to watch it though.

But you've watched ONE Jim Carrey movie ever, the Truman Show, and that made you refuse to watch the rest of his work? That is unusual.

No I finally gave in to watching him because this role was not like his other "wacky" parts he plays. Same with Sandler, I gave him a shot in Funny People cause he was dying of cancer or something. lol

Love horror, like the original TCM. Saw 20 minutes of the remake when the DVD was first released and before I was anti-Biel, didn't like what I saw at all, never finished it. Probably won't ever now, considering she's the lead.

Don't like actresses that 'made it' only because of their looks. Biel for me is the perfect example of talentless beauty. Blade Trinity was the last I've ever seen from her, and she was terrible.

I will most likely see Hitchcock though, since I'm an Alfred Hitchcock fan, and I won't let her bit part prevent me from seeing it. Casting her as Vera Miles was not a good choice.

Timberlake.

These are a few I thought of too except that they each have one movie I do like. Well, except for that windbag Moore.

I really liked Sean Penn and Tim Robbins in Mystic River, Tim Robbins also in Shawshank Redemption, George Clooney in The Descendants, Oceans Trilogy, Up in the Air and Michael Clayton. I don't know why people hate them. They are very talented actors.

Quinthoopachiefy · 01-03-2013, 06:48 AM

Sean Penn, Ben Stiller(cant believe he us allowed to be in movies)
Armie Hammer(annoys me) I will still see the line ranger though

Really. I thought he carried Drive. Fracture had the great Hopkins so I can see where u were goin with that one but Drive was all Gosling. Got Em!!

Give Drive a shot and if u dont like it then u can barr him. Such a great film and better than Fracture. Got Em!!

Villiam Hayes · 01-03-2013, 10:16 AM

I can't say I simply wouldn't watch a movie simply because a particular actor is in it but the first one that springs to mind that I can't have is Jack Black.
Probably the main reason I have had King Kong for such a long time and still haven't watched it.

JimDiGriz · 01-03-2013, 10:20 AM

Adam Sandler

Michael Cera (that was difficult just typing his name)

The_Donster · 01-03-2013, 02:55 PM

If I were to ask my wife this question I think she'd say Angelina Jolie. She seems to dislike her with a passion. While there isn't anyone on my list per say because I try to distinguish their professional career from their personal life. I will say that I get the feeling that Sean Penn, Russel Crowe and Daniel Craig seem like dicks in real life though. I'm really hoping that I'm wrong about Crowe, but the other two piss me off with their "My private life is none of your business" attitude in interviews. Paparazzi is one thing, you are actually sitting down to promote a movie or yourself another thing. Get over yourself, you chose this path.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
