    Which actors/actresses would put you off going to a movie just by their very presence in it?

    For me Ben Affleck and Julia Roberts immediately come to mind, but what are you choices?

    I know a lot of people who think this way.

    One won't watch O Brother Where Art Thou? because he hates George Clooney.

    I'd have said Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler myself, then I remembered Magnolia and Sandler's recent Punch Drunk Love. Just goes to show you can miss decent films...

    That said, Hugh Grant's a no-no for me, so what the hell do I know?

    Ben Affleck - yes, leo DiCrapio - yes. Also I hate that guy from gladiators Rustling Crow because he's a tit in real life. I hope to god the singer from Oasis is in a film so that I can not go to it!

    Jim Carrey. And I hate it when you go see a film with someone you hate in it, cause you've heard that "he doesn't do all his usual crap", and of course the film ultimately stinks.

    Richard Gere likewise, Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks...

    How can you hate George Clooney though?

    Jennifer Lopez and Leonardo DiCaprio would be the main two offenders.

    But other than that, basically any pop-star or, furthermore, a rapper. Ice Cube in Ghosts Of Mars anyone? ****ing hell... There are some people who shouldn't be let near film-roles.

    Whoopie Goldberg. Don't you love the way she tries to make up for lack of personality by being really loud?

    I'd have to agree with the choice of boring drawling mop-topped muppet Hugh Grant but disagree with Leonardo diCaprio, as I found his performance in "Catch Me If You Can" surprisingly and refreshingly good. Difficult to admit it as it may be (I used to dislike him utterly) he is (slowly but surely) improving and maturing as an actor. I think he did a very good job of acting out the very well scripted part of Frank Abignale Jr. - keeping in mind that he had an excellent team of accomplished cast and the directing skills of Spielberg to work with...

    For me the following gimps make a movie a no go...

    Jennifer Lopez
    Leonardo DiCaprio
    Ben Affleck
    Sandra Bullock
    Hugh Grant
    Julia Roberts
    Steven Segal


    Any pop stars in leading roles is also a no go in my book.

    Hugh "Mop Head" Grant annoys the sh1t out of me in a way nobody else can. The very first time I saw him in Four Weddings and a Funeral he annoyed me. His stupid hair style annoys me, his stupid accent annoys me, his stupid grin annoys me
    :(

    Winona "I was only pretending to steal" Ryder. I think Alien Resurrection did it for me...oh sweet jebus on a stick !
    I would never go see a Jackie Chan film. Also Chris Rock and Chris Tucker annoy me to the bone. Oh there's plenty more.

    The unwatchable Kirstie Alley. I never refer to her without that moniker.

    I would have also said Adam Sandler, until I recently saw Punch Drunk Love, which was a fantastic film. He showed a (restrained, complex) side of himself we'd never seen before.
