Tom Cruise. Enough said.
He can act. He was good in Legend and great in Interview with a Vampire. Shame he's a terrible person.
Anthony Mackie. Nothing particularly offensive about him, but he's a bit of a charisma vacuum and that constant pinch-faced expression irritates me for some reason.
Jack Black. Seems like a nice dude, but he’s a an annoying presence in every movie he’s in. His is the definition of a “sweat act”.
He turned his back on his bandmate after said bandmate made a joke about wishing Trump got assassinated, and he condemned palestine for standing up to their oppressors. He's a shitlib at best
Will Ferrell
I get this. I was listening to a podcast, Conan O'Brien's I think, where Will Ferrell came up and they were talking about how he's typically a pretty straightforward and serious kind of person off camera.
He turns it on for the camera but it's not who he is in real life. There's nothing wrong with it per se but it made him seem a lot more disingenuous to me.
Jared Leto, Tom Cruise. Here on Lemmy they might not be as loved as in the general population, but these pieces of shit posing as human beings are definitely loved more than they should.
Adam Sandler
I don't like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them "I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end" and the agent just says okay.
They're pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it's pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.
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.
Jack Black. I think it was around the time he started up his Jablinksy crap on Youtube. There were tons of "organic posts" on reddit about it and it just didn't sit right with me. Ever since I can't stand him.
Tom Hanks.
He seems like a lovely person. I just can't stand seeing him act.
