    Gal Godot.

    I’m very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of women. That being said, if I didn’t feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn’t made anyone else’s list because it’s such a low hanging fruit.

        she was stiff in WW too, but it worked because the whole side plot was that she’s never met human beings and doesn’t know how to interact with them. also she’s like a demigod so being devoid of emotions doesn’t look that weird on a character like that. they played to their strengths.

        most issues with movies about acting are actually issues about casting. i love Keanu, but he’s also stiff. but that worked perfectly his best roles: johnny mnemonic, constantine and of course neo. even john wick worked mostly because he’s built up for the first half of the movie as a mythical, inhuman force of nature.

        so yeah for that particular rendition of wonder woman, great choice: she looks like a demigod; she acts like she’s never seen a human before. perfect.

        for anything else, please kill me so i don’t have to suffer through this scene.

    Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she’s in, and it’s a character I don’t find funny at all.

    Ben Afflict.

    Was very weird how everyone liked that he was chosen as Batman, he was such a bad Batman. He actually gave rich prick vibes.

    Ryan Reynolds. I’d be hesitant to say “everyone likes him” because while he is popular he does have a pretty big base of folks who dislike him as well.

    Adam Sandler. I dunno that everyone likes him, but he seems very popular and lots of people seem to love his movies, but I can’t fucking stand him. I don’t enjoy his style of comedy, I find him equal parts vapid and grating in everything I’ve ever seen him in, I just don’t see the appeal.

      From the interviews that I’ve seen and the accounts of people who’ve encountered him it seems that he’s a pretty genuine guy. He knows he’s not making high art and isn’t pretending otherwise.

        I mean that wouldn’t surprise me, I’m sure he’s a lovely person, he’s just kind of the opposite of entertaining to watch for me. But, to each their own.

      She’s very typecast, but she can act. If she actually got a role where she could show strong emotion, I think she could rise to it well. She’s good in Challengers and great in Euphoria.

    Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy ‘imposter syndrome’ vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn’t be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

    I hate that he became Scorsese’s new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.

    Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let’s be honest, there’s no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.

      He plays one character, but the character is kind of likable and funny. To me he’s the definition of a popcorn flick actor.

      WWE really pushed many stars to become hollywood actors. bautista is one that actually tries as an actor, dwayne is a movie star attention seeker, also dwayne apparently is the “ellen degeneres” of behind the scenes too.

      He’s the only actor I can think of I actively boycott other than Gal Godot. Aside from his violent racism and American nationalism which is all well documented, I just absolutely loathe the type of character he likes to play; the macho snarky asshole who feels like he got kicked out of basic training and makes being a veteran his whole personality.

      There’s few archetypes I hate more than the “former soldier who could kill a man, harbouring some deep unnerving instinct”, or the “American in a truck who loves the flag and is just a hard working guy”, and somehow he always plays and glamorises both, despite not actually being either.
