#3 worst actor nomination thread

what is a "movie" really

Wait I have a good one. Rebel Wilson.

honestly that is a very good one

except she might be just as bad at all forms of human interaction, given how badly she fakes rapport or knowing the names of the competitors on Last One Laughing

LeBlanc >>>>>> Schwimmer on Friends, bcz Schwimmer thinks he's good

thought everyone on Friends was really good

I want to say Fisher Stevens but thats just because I hate him.

* listens for sound of sign being tapped *

the whole 'sign' concept is bullshit

well *I* saw the sign

:)

Tap this, motherfuckers.

Bloom is the bar because sometimes you see him in a thing and he is distractingly bad

Reposting this example for all you latecomers

As pointed out upthread, he was struggling to play himself convincingly in Extras

^ the bar

Leto would be in danger of this except for his trick of every morning eating an unread Oblique Strategies thread and doing what it tastes like.

(We watched Suicide Squad last night, and he's got the thing right where when the Joker is on screen the whole audience should be watching him, but wide-eyed terror and anticipation, not squinty "what is he... doing there?")

Rebel Wilson has amused me at stuff

You can tell she is acting on screen

That is part of the bar.

I do think Leto dips into bloom level badness for sure. But im uneasy because if he is even partly admitted how can i keep keanu safe (ans- i lean back into "cannot convincingly portray a human irl")

Leto was fine in Requiem for a Dream, wasn’t he?

Keanu is not suited for every role but is not. in. the. running.

Hes been way above bloom levels in things but def theres times his awfulness takes away from that maybe

The question- and for all those grousing at sign tapping, we *are* trying to get somewhere here, its a free board and the exit is under the exit sign (tap it on the way out) may be more usefully phrased as "what comparitively successful actor's best performance is nonetheless as bad as bloom's?"

Feel confident that under those terms its rly just the posh brit trio

Emma Watson felt the heat

more gifs please

Watched La La Land for the first time recently and found out that Emma Watson turned down the lead, good move on her part, can you imagine her in that? There would be many gifs.

if you want to reach the bar you gotta work https://i.imgur.com/PyQSdgX.jpg

Yes i saved this for later i look fwd to it

I'm trying to be a voice for everybody.

I have a mouth and i mustnt shout

A friends first job in film was solely to go across London twice a day to get Orlando Bloom coffee from one single Starbucks he claimed was the best in London.

Obviously my mate just went to the nearest and sat there for an hour before bringing it back and Bloom couldn’t tell. https://t.co/GAzexshnlU

People dont listen and thats a real problem

They act like im in here spoofing and they think oh that fella is on the wind up if hes even talking any sense at all and lads just for a moment let me drop the folksy blathering and tell you all clearly and solemnly there is a blank evil at the heart of the beast that surfaces in this dimension behind the cardboardman orlando bloom which and i hate to spell it out to you is not even a real name a human could ever be called and look if you feel anything from abashed all the way through to straight up foolish i dont think thats too much tbh

um, contentious thread but hear me out

Channing Tatum

absolutely not

absolutely n oh ty simon

jesus i mean ffs no

um, well the bar is bloom and channing tatum vaults over that bar with graceful ease

change my mind

"blank evil at the heart of the beast" and all that

because Channing Tatum is utterly featureless, bereft of personality and talent, so hollow and devoid of quality there can only be evil intent behind it

premonitions of Channing Tatum were what drove Sarah Kane to suicide

Have you seen Magic Mike?

um, well the bar is bloom and channing tatum vaults over that bar with graceful ease

change my mind

Davey go watch the sailor sequence from Hail Caesar and think on your sins

or like....any dance sequence from xxl

Channing Tatum is a great actor because he's somehow convinced people he's attractive, despite in fact being incredibly bizarre looking. A definite graduate of the Lank Thompson Handsome Actor school.

Any number of sequences from either jump street but especially captains daughter moment

Guy looks like meathead but is a very deft, charming and adaptable comedica talent

yeah it was Jump Street that showed me the light. he's genuinely funny! also, wrt The Bar: Tatum has played himself to memorable effect

i would give Jump Street a chance but i rly don't want to watch another fucking Channing Tatum movie

the best i can say about the performances i've seen from him is that he's "good-natured." but he is very short of acting style.

i saw Hail Caesar and i'm sorry but i thought he was as replaceable in that as everything else i've seen from him. dancing is his one trick.

he tried to be scary in Hateful Eight but ended up being funny.

further direct evidence: Jupiter Ascending

but fair enough. i might give one of his comedies a chance on of these days

onE

dancing isn't a "trick", it's acting!!!

false

or at least, being a competent dancer doesn't make you a competent actor.

see: The Eagle

I flagged davey

Jamie Bell, a dancer who can also act dramatically, was also in The Eagle and it's a bit sad that he played second fiddle

*cue a million middle-aged Magic Mike fans screaming in outrage*

flag away, lmaooo

Jupiter Ascending is a good movie and Channing Tatum is good in it
