#3 worst actor nomination thread

I like how it's ambiguous here whether the problem is that actors are not accessible to you or that you really just don't want to have to associate with them (or both)

lol however if you know i live in nyc... you know which one it is

once worked with a guy who acted on the side. friendly exterior, totally empty sociopath within

oh yeah actors are weird and have bad personal style in my experience

actors also somehow more self-involved over their meager achievements than poets even, heads so far up their asses that they're like mobius strips of malignant narcissism, incredible

sorry to any actors on ilx i am sure you are the exception that proves the rule

jude law is fucking hot, silby otm

"mobius strips of malignant narcissism" brad marry me

as the third best actor in a recent production of our town i would like to extend critical support to natalie portman

I haven't seen him in a while but I know a guy who's an actor and, at various times, has been a main character in a couple of long running UK TV shows and he's a pretty down-to-earth bloke, not in the least precious.

Stoke Newington and environs is full of actors though.

i bet he wears weird ugly chinos tho

harrison ford seems pretty down to earth, especially as a pilot

or like jeans that bunch at the shins with hightops

soap actors and the like are probably (in general) the best adjusted professional actors, punch in punch out

I’ve never fancied Jude Law but he’s been great in at least six things and is well above the Bloom bar

burt lancaster

due respect to ILX but I refuse to call that guy anything but "orblando gloom" (thank you paul schneider)

(xp lol)

I don’t think MCU movies should be considered in this thread mostly because i don’t consider them movies

def laurence olivier

burt lancaster is funny and good in Local Hero

ryan o neill is the only person i've posted who has ever been good in anything

Even excluding the MCU, I’ve seen at least 70% of all Portman movies and she’s bad in all of them, whereas I can’t say the same about Hanks or Jude Law or ScarJo.

oic you're doing a bit xp

also it’s ornaldo bloomps surely

Will fight anyone trying it about Natalie Portman

The bar is Bloom

The bar is Bloom

ryan o neill is the only person i've posted who has ever been good in anything

Burt Lancaster was terrible in the wrong movie, as usual, but good and often great in a good one.

There. I summed up the thread.

do you actually have to have seen them in anything? if not, I nominate Eddie Redmayne

yes Eddie Redmayne is a horrible actor and The Danish Girl is in the running for most execrable moviewatching experience

Burt Lancaster was great. You know who sucked? Kirk Douglas.

Beautiful Girls - great
Closer - great
V for Vendetta - terrible accent, great otherwise
Black Swan - ott but great

Gonna nominate Shia LaBeouf and Andrew Garfield.

do you actually have to have seen them in anything? if not, I nominate Eddie Redmayne

oh lol I have seen Jupiter Ascending, so that's a legit opinion despite my remembering literally nothing of his performance

yeah Eddie Redmayne’s a great nomination

Beautiful Girls - great
Closer - great
V for Vendetta - terrible accent, great otherwise
Black Swan - ott but great

can't wait for you to watch the Jackie O movie

like, I knew Chicago 7 was the Titanic as soon as I saw him in the cast.

Beautiful Girls - great
Closer - great
V for Vendetta - terrible accent, great otherwise
Black Swan - ott but great

Also remember that period when Kate Beckinsale was seemingly cast in everything? Can’t remember a single one of her performances... just a complete non-entity. Ditto Eric Bana.

As long as it’s not with you!

lmao it is unfortunately coming back to me now, gdi

no had completely stopped watching anything with her in it after I fell asleep 20 mins into that vampire movie she was in

xp to alfred

There's a difference between a bad actor and a lazy actor, imo, and Harrison Ford is definitely a lazy actor (to the point of probably actually being baked 90% of the time). There was a period when he tried, but my theory has always been that when he didn't get any awards buzz for The Mosquito Coast, he decided he officially couldn't be arsed anymore and just settled for doing the smirk and the clawhand for the rest of his career.

Hopkins and Caine and Pacino and all those lads will definitely take major advantage of an inexperienced director to ham it up and go their own way, but they're all great when they're pulled into line by the right people, I think. They just haven't met the right people in a long time.

Beckinsale is good in that whit stillman movie

that's the one I cited

ryan o neill was good in barry lyndon
