I know this isnt music related but which actor or actress makes you want to throw your popcorn at the screen in utter disgust?

I'd pick Demi Moore...has she EVER been in a non-shit flick??

I would say Vincent Gallo. This question, however, implies he can act.

Claire Danes is the most evil human being on the planet.

I don't hate any actor but I do despise Catherin zeta jones though.

"Claire Danes is the most evil human being on the planet". Explain, Ally.

Julia Roberts & Richard Gere. Nothing beats this pair ;)

Most Hollywood actors and actresses seem interchangeable to me - they come on, do their thing, piss off...I don't blame them if a film is shit, but I dont blame them for films being good either. They're like sessionmen.

More annoying I guess are the ones that get respect despite being in many a bad film, giving hammy performances. Sean Connery and Anthony Hopkins leap to mind.

The worst, worst, worst performer in the world, though, is Robin Williams.

Tom E is bang on here. I'm surprised, though, that the words 'Michael Douglas' are yet to appear on this page.

― the pinefox, Saturday, 3 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

Well here you go: Michael Douglas. He's the fucking Don Henley of movies.

Keanu Reeves is the fucking worst actor ever, but i don't really hate him. actually i'm kinda in love with him. i mean, i find it hard to hate him, has anyone noticed that his only good role was in the bill & ted movies? anyway, i hate Skeet Ulrich. Like David Spade said, "um, Johnny Depp called and he wants his DNA back."

What happened to my message? Where the fuck did it go?

― Phil Paterson, Sunday, 4 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

Hugh grant, since he gets plaudits for playing the same character in every film. The same terminally annoying character.

― Ally C, Sunday, 4 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

What is there to explain about Claire Danes? Just look into those vapid, cold, soulless dead-fish eyes.

Tom: I actually find it vaguely offensive, even as an EX-actor, that you're comparing them to "session men". Of course the actor should be blamed if a film is shit - even if the film wasn't good from the get go, who told Julia Roberts to take that Runaway Bride part? That's just an example, mind you, nothing to do with her or the film, no of course not...And how many films have so-so scripts if you just read them or you see a play version of them with lesser actors, but you see the film and just get blown away? How many great plays have been put to film only to come out awful because the actors weren't right? So on and so forth...obviously a film is a group effort, but "session men"? Session men are interchangeable, session men are what you get if your drummer is too sick and hungover to lay down a rhythm track. The actors are integral to the film process, and are, to use the music tip, part of the band. Ex: Russell Crowe was clearly Roger Daltrey to Ridley Scott's Pete Townshend in Gladiator. Could you IMAGINE how godawful that movie would've been with someone else? Even better, imagine American Psycho with Leo DiCaprio instead of Christian Bale...it's like comparing Travis to James Brown.

Actors aren't interchangeable, which is why interchangeable paper dolls like Leo or Jennifer Love Hewitt are SO BLOODY ANNOYING.

Re: Hugh Grant: yeah, he's awful. He's so awful that I'd really like to hurt him. He looks like my ex-boyfriend, the way his eyes crinkle up, and that makes me hate him more. But if we're talking about actors who get bloody come on over playing the same role over and over, the King/Queen has to be Julia Roberts.

I'd still really like to know where my message in this thread went. Did it go down the pub or something? Or did some Australian cunts whine and have it taken off?

― Phil Paterson, Monday, 5 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

I took it off because it didn't say anything other than "Australians are cunts". It didn't even mention an actor or actress, so it didn't strike me as a great loss to the discussion. But nobody 'whined' about it.

― Tom, Monday, 5 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

Denzel Wahington. Even writing the words make me come out in a cold sweat. Never, ever, ever been good in a film ever, rarely, ever, ever, in good films. He also bumped a film at the NFT once which i had been waiting to see for years, and then closed the bar so I could not even comiserate (obviously I went to the pub and bitched about Denny some more).

Julianne Moore - your guarantee of piss-poor, as we rhyme skipping down to the video shop.

― Pete, Monday, 5 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

I really hate so many that this kind of question is difficult...why are so many actors so completely irritating? Is that part of the requirement to get an SAG card? But I should take a moment to honor those who make a particulary awful contribution to motion pictures...

Female: Meg Ryan & Julia Roberts - Both born afflicted with Terminal Cutesiness, which leads sufferers to believe that every move they make is adorable and interesting. It isn't.

Male: Ethan Hawke & Matt Damon. Supposed hearthrobs, both of these chuckleheaded shmoes make me question the sanity of anyone who'd tape their pictures on a wall. Not only are both thoroughly ugly, they both have an irritating smugness and lack of ability that screams "Punch Me" every time they grace a screen. Ugh.

It didn't just have "Australians are cunts", but I added it for it is the truth.

Censorship is just one step from facism.

― Phil Paterson, Tuesday, 6 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

It didn't answer the question, as I recall, and was needlessly abusive, and was early enough in the thread that it might have ruined the topic (which you might say it has anyway). So, out.

Moderating a message board is not censorship: you have your own page, Phil, and are at perfect liberty to print whatever xenophobic nonsense you like there. This meanwhile is a message board, mostly about music, which is run as an adjunct to my page. It is not Usenet. You aren't the only one to have been "censored", though: I deleted a gay-bashing posting in the Jamie Oliver thread and a snippy exchange between Ethan and John Yonderboy which threatened to derail another thread before it had even started. And I deleted a message I posted when I was drunk, come to think of it. 5 messages in 5000 posts, which isn't bad going: deleting posts is not something I make a habit of.

A couple of days before your posting I said I was going to delete abusive messages when they cropped up on the board. Yours wasn't abusive to specific posters, but it wasn't about specific film stars either and it wasn't saying anything useful. Given the resultant hassle I should probably have just left it there, but there you go, it's good to sort these things out sometimes. I'd be interested to hear (via e-mail preferably) what any other readers think about this.

Anything with Woody Harrelson, Nicholas Cage or Steve Buscemi is going to hurt. Bad.

Hey, is that Mog?

― Inukko, Tuesday, 6 March 2001 01:00 (12 years ago) Permalink

i think so,... lemme go ask for you,... ::runs outside:: MOG!!! WAS THAT YOU???? ,... oh WAIT!!! I"M mog,.... hum i guesss that's a yes then now isn't it?

and to keep this post from being completly offtopic,... i can't stand Robin Williams in the sappy movies he's in now COMEDIES he's fine as long as he's fit for the part but i don't see why he feels he has to be an emotional actor he's not very good at it and besides i like him better as a funnyman anyway. and female,... don't even get me started there are so many that i despise it's not even funny,... although i dp kinda feel bad for Kate Winslett i mean she actually wasn't THAT bad in titanic (i hate that movie by the way) but she seems to have gotten kinda a cold shoulder from the public (at least in american anyway i'm not sure about the rest of the world) i guess Leo has tainted more than just his own name.

1. I think that DiCaprio and Winslet were a beautiful couple. I wish they could be together forever.

2. Perhaps this thread has been rather hard on 'session musicians'. Session musicians are, I imagine, talented and hard-working people. Some great records in pop history have, as far as I can recall, involved them.

Examples:

'String Bean Jean' (shame about the lyrics);

'Alison' (good about the lyrics);

'Green Onions' (hey guys - about the lyrics...)

Nicholas Cage is such a BAD ACTOR. Take note of his last few movies, he never has a line with more than 5 or 6 words, it's pathetic. Seeing Slater opposite of him in Windtalkers especially puts him to shame. I went to see the movie for the story. Cage ruined it again! Can anyone say Francis Ford Coppola is my uncle????? I wonder why he changed his last name.........

vincent gallo and liv tyler are awesome. kevin costner is not awesome. i will admit that my assessment of liv may be clouded by the fact that she is the hottest woman on the planet, but i did think that 'heavy' and 'stealing beauty' were both great movies

Not all Australians are cunts, just Russel Crowe. :P. Who, by the way, is a tool. I know someone called stringbean, kinda queer kid. But the worst actor in the world is Ben Affleck, he sucks more than Russel Crowe AFTER Crowe threw a telephone. hich was kinda funny and made me respect him more which defeats thw purpose of my argument. Ben Affleck sucks balls.
