#3 worst actor nomination thread

I'm pretty sure Knightly said Cronenberg carefully described all that jaw action to her. Maybe that's why he cast her.

Now I want to see a film with her biting people really fucking hard.

I hear she's in the upcoming JAWS remake

didn't I just post upthread about her future as a zombie co-starring with Bruce Campbell

A Rabid remake where she bites instead of armpit stabs would be great

Shes been biting bonham carter since day one

Kirk Cameron

speaking of jaws, I thought this might be too challopsy, but Richard Dreyfus

obvs he's no Bloomps but I could happily recast every role he's done

Mr Holland's Opus, starring Billy Connolly as Mr Holland

Ah no hes absolutely joyous in jaws, his angry disbelief at the mayor is genuinely one of the best moments of acting in a hollywood blockbuster i can think of

i liked his unhinged quality in Close Encounters as well

true he might have his moments, but he *always* exhausts me over a whole film

like in both those movies he starts at 8 or 9 instead of 1

Hes a busy little fella alright ya

To develop the theory that its only brits that get in here with absolutely *zero* facility, charm, talent, we should establish the absolute nadir of american "what dyou mean you are a paid actor", devoid of rudminetary likeability or any of it yet still working away

its zach braff imo

that does show a gulf of sorts, because he does a job for a while in scrubs, but otherwise yeah he maps to bloom

Interesting then that portman is as close to a yank knightley that we could come up with given both pairs have been utter shit in utter shit from the start

yank radcliffe?

from the start

Beautiful Girls - great

Well we can't all agree

its zach braff imo

good choice but did you dismiss previous suggestion john krasinski or did i just miss it

Garden state is some blight of a fuckin effort i think it cancels anything else out

I havent seen krasinski in enough is my verdict above

I saw him in leatherheads its hard to really say

Wait is he jack ryan

i could not make it through the whole of garden state the most recent time i attempted watching it. they drop the r-word a lot in that script

he IS jack ryan

I liked him in jack ryan im sorry

lol

Regret to inform and all that

Beautiful Girls is the less creepy of the two good movies she made before she turned 15 about adult men wanting to fuck her

Is Michael Rapaport particularly good or particularly bad in anything, besides his disastrous stint on Justified?

Actually, he's in that movie, too, isn't he? And Matt Dillon, who is also not much of an actor.

we're talking bumping into the camera level here

Also apologising to the camera

Garden State is dogshit

Not having the rest of my suggestions for NP discounted because Zach Braff had problems SORRY

Garden State = the type of movie that'd probably aggravate and piss off moviegoers in 2021, but for some reason it was what they wanted in 2004

Rapaport was great in the Pop Copy sketch of Chappelle's Show, dismissed

Some of us hated it at the time!

And Matt Dillon, who is also not much of an actor.

Josh, this is nonsense. Besides Drugstore Cowboy, his best performance, he was consistently naturalistic in Over the Edge, Tex, and a few other early '80s films.

Rapaport is good in several films named multiple times itt, plus True Romance

I've liked Dillon in a few things. Like Wild Things!

Braff seems like low hanging fruit, because he's really not in that much, is he? At least, I think Garden State is the only thing I've ever seen him in.

Some of us hated it at the time!

and many of the people that hated it were on this board posting their hate for it, too! :)

Braff was more of a tv guy

well, good enough to escape this thread anyway

rapaport was so bad in justified that it makes it impossible for me to appreciate him in anything else

Cop Land he had tape over his mouth for a lot of it

o shit SPOILERS

Stallone is better than DeNiro in that, isn't he?

Dillon in one night at mccools and something about mary, good to (tbh) excellent

Everyone look away for a min please

Stallone is better than deniro in general

What? No, nothing

Must have been a cat

Stallone probably tries a) more often and b) in a higher percentage of his films than DeNiro

Deniros artistic highs are higher but tbh not much more numerous

His emotional highs arent close

Keitel > Stallone > De Niro > Pesci > Pacino

has DeNiro tried in anything at all this century?

Stallone kills me in copland, and his fumbling dumb gentle moments as rocky beat deniros knightlychin frustrated rage any day of any week
