#3 worst actor nomination thread

No!

Elle est charmante

Ben Mendo is a ludicrous nom. The Yesr My Voice Broke, The Big Steal, Cosi, Amy, Metal Skin, Mullet, Animal Kingdom, Idiot fucken Box? ffs

jerry o'connell is a good answer

An argument could be made for John though...

as reprehensible as i find him as a person, john cusack has been good in movies iirc

especially the gold standard grosse pointe blank, where both joan and john are great

Americas sweethearts again

Honestly ilx will u not pls acknowledge this masterpiece

Chuck Norris

Claire Danes was amazing in Homeland. I only watched the first season but she was very skilled at making this X of creases appear on her face any time her character was "getting a little bipolar"

deems my comment upthread implicitly stated that i love america's sweethearts and think it is a great film

as reprehensible as i find him as a person, john cusack has been good in movies iirc

at one point about a decade ago (?) he listed the few actually-good movies he starred in and it was completely accurate, so I appreciate that

let's turn this around and make this an america's sweethearts thread now

Chuck Norris

― Wrong Screamed Barney (Neanderthal)

Action star

Brad u have been seen, its everyone else

xp to self, here it is

Best performance in americas sweethearts would be a legit ten-contenders poll

hank azaria and billy crystal are both wretched in america's sweethearts

xxp

but i like the movie

Danes has way too interesting a face, deployed interestingly in that clip, to qualify, she's out

radcliffe in that clip would not have made it to a gif the question is moot

Mods

Vin Diesel is the least charismatic of all action stars, yet he seems to keep getting decent roles.

Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield were both good in Never Let Me Go, a brilliant film which I can never watch again.

Vin Diesel is very cool, is an action star, set the screen alight on his breakthrough, rejected on about twelve counts tbh

hm define cool

he's done a drama too and voiced Iron Giant

I also don't remember him when he was an uncredited orderly in Awakenings, maybe should re-watch

How has this thread reached 600 posts without any mention of Dominic West?

If i just wanted to name actors I personally cannot stand appearing on my screen i could throw out toni collette lads, its not the roles they pick its not do they irritate you, its not dyou like or dislike them its not (and my wording in title is partly to blame here) even can they act

its the feeling of doom thing, radcliffe as emitter bloom as feeder thats the thing

cant portray a human thing but even then not just that or cruise would be in the (meta joke) running

do think knightley rly is in it

Danes is good in Homeland S1, delightful in R+J, and used to be polite in Sydney pubs. Three impeccable performances.

i had three impeccable performances with ur mom iirc

Dominic west is boring and lazy and no good but if you can be perfectly cast as mcnulty then you have something

radcliffe nor bloom could be perfectly cast except off cliffs

I've never seen it, but I think Danes is highly regarded in My So-Called Life.

good in Homeland S1

so good that even though it’s deliberately the most ACTING! role you could look for in a frankly ridiculous melodrama, she’s compelling and persuasive.

Vin Diesel is extremely bad at acting, but good enough at producing that it hasn’t had the chance to affect the quality of his films too drastically.

radcliffe nor bloom could be perfectly cast except off cliffs

thank you for this

Vin’s phone videos of him announcing production decisions or doing karaoke are terrible though. Completely unbelievable in the role.

Just watched “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and Dominic West did himself no favors in that.

Dominic west is boring and lazy and no good but if you can be perfectly cast as mcnulty then you have something

I’ve only seen him otherwise as a supervillain with his face cut up and stuck back together in the Lexi Alexander Punisher, but yeah McNutty gets him a lifetime pass

ok it gets him a seasons 1 through 4 pass tbf

He spends the entirety of season 1 trying to figure out his character onscreen

I guess West also got by me as “Photographer” in Spice World and voicing the “Lead Elf” in Arthur Christmas

xp that’s him immersively portraying McNulty trying to figure out the intricacies of the culture & drug trade, and empathetically bringing the audience on that journey with him

I think Tim Robbins is pretty terrible. Has he been mentioned?

Tim Robbins from hi fidelity?

No he has not been mentioned

got to interview Jake G. for the Prince of Persia movie and have a soft spot for him as one of the nicest, most genuine, chill celebs I ever interviewed (second maybe to Jimmy Fallon who everyone hates but he was such a fun, nice guy)

Think back and if possible try to recall any missing hours/afternoons, any spots you fuzzily look on now as nothings, where when you try harder to focus the puppy in your belly whines uneasily and scrabbles to get away

That was the interview with radcliffe imo

I considered mentioning Tim Robbins except I remembered that I like him in The Player, but then I wondered if my liking The Player actually had anything to do with Tim Robbins's specific presence, and then I couldn't remember any other Tim Robbins roles that did anything for me, so maybe Tim Robbins is a good choice.

Bob Roberts

The shawshank redemption and bull durham and bob roberts are all fair popular movies hes ok to good in em

Arlington drive otoh oof

he is good in Bob Roberts but Jack Black is really good in Bob Roberts

Robbins also splendid in Hudsucker Proxy, fine in Tapeheads

just remembered katherine heigl *shudder*

Robbins gets a lifetime pass for his character in High Fidelity
