Actors/Actresses that get up my wick

    This has been bugging me for ages. Eddie Murphy and his ego. Why is it that he thinks that he should play at least 6 characters in a movie. i.e. Coming to America, Nutty professor I & II and the one I try to forget every day Norbit. None of these movies are in the least funny and he plays the same role.
    Also Daniel Radcliffe man I love to give that guy a wedgie and leave him on his broomstick. He has a face that you just would not get tired of hitting.
    Glad I got that off my chest anybody else have the same anger!!:mad:

    I agree with you on most of that except for Coming To America - thats a classic :). After BHC I & II . Trading Places and Coming To America , Murphys ego imploded on himself and the movies he makes. Played two characters in Bowfinger also - lol

    He also lika the trannies ;)

    I agree Russel Brand really gets up my goat. If he was chocolate he would eat himself. Man I hate that guy.
    I have to say Al Pacino really annoys me all he does in movies since Scent of a woman is SHOUT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83 ✭✭tobehonestwithy


    he didnt shout in Carlitos' Way!

    Well, I dont think so. Good Movie !

    Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson - God, I hate these guys.

    I can live with Vince Vaughan

    Despite his descent into overacting heaven, i enjoy watching him go OTT in films. The guy never does interviews to promote films so i get the feeling he doesnt give a right swinging mickey anymore!

    His best shouting moments are City Hall and Devil's Advocate. Dire films though

    cameron diaz ... seems to be under the impression that she's a great comedic actress .... but is generally pretty awful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Ruskie4Rent


    Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Just a terrible actor and what bugs me is he is getting more and more work now.

    Robert De Niro - Most overrated actor of all time. And the comedy movies he has been in lately have been just sh*te


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,049 ✭✭✭Driver 8


    Jude Law
    Orlando Bloom
    Keira Knightley

    Good looking people who think this entitles them to act. Bloom especially tends to ruin anything he touches, the bigger the role he has


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83 ✭✭tobehonestwithy


    True about Knightley - you still would though ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 418 ✭✭stereoroid


    Meg Ryan in those Nora Ephron rom-coms. It's to her credit that she said "no more"! :pac:

    Jude Law, doesn't bother me, I suppose he just doesn't register as a human actor. I thought he was quite effective in A.I. - as an android prostitute.

    lol don't get me started on that topic Calista Flockhart and Sienna Miller for starters but is that a reason for getting up my wick?:D

    Kate Hudson - unattractive, annoying, giddy, flat-chested, and her ears stick out.

    Matthew McConaughey
    Shia Lebouf
    Ben Affleck


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 248 ✭✭film_gonzo


    Juliette Lewis. Has a knack for being in decent movies. Doesn't mean she could act her way out of a sack though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭TiGeR KiNgS


    one from old, but anyway........ Laura Innes from E.R, when she was on screen i felt like a little piece of my soul had drifted away in pure disgust at the lifeless performances she continuously gave(i Have never come across a more wooden, stale,miserable,unlikeable,meloncolic actor/actress than she,complete minger to tops. but then there is always Sandra Bullock , how has she not been mentioned already, unwatchable,terrible actress. I suppose i can through Nichlos Cage into the mix, Cant stand him, has never been a convincing actor, mildly amusing in Face off but that is it....

    I am becoming increasingly convinced that the word "douchebag" was invented for a prick like him. He just oozes slime and cheese. I find it hard to believe that there aren't any women who just say "okay he may be good looking but he is SUCH a douchebag that I refuse to be interested in him out of protest". His acting skillz are severely lacking also.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Don't particularly like Steve Carell and don't see what the fuss is about him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Jessica Alba. Shít actress and not even attractive. I cannot understand blokes who find her hot. She's so "typical". I'm guessing they're all probably just secretly gay and offer her up as a safe nomination? :confused:

    Same again for Scarlet Johansen.

    Dakota Fanning: urghh! Ruins pretty much any film shes in. Luckily, she hasn't been in too many good films as it stands, so we're not really loosing out on much.

    One actor who has always annoyed the hell out of me is Gerard Depairdu. Remember my mother used to always watch his (english-language) films, and English was way too poor to be anything but laughable. Haven't seen his big French films like Jean De Florette (I think thats the one hes in?) but whenever I see him in an English or French film, I want to strangle the guy. Just seems like such a smarmy character!

    Tom Hanks - he just plays Tom Hanks in every film. Overrated and annoying.
    Julia Roberts - crap actress and ugly with it.
    +1 for Juliette Lewis. I don't think I've ever seen a film with her in it that she doesn't annoy the crap out of me.

    Couldnt really second any of the proposals above (Knightley? Good. And I would) but the following "actors" being in anyway associated with a movie is an signal that you would be better of paying not to watch than even watch it for free:

    Queen Latifah
    Steven Segal
    Whoopie Goldberg
    Adam Sandler
    The Belushi that is still alive

    There's more but my memory is prbably shielding me from them as a subconscious protection mechanism.

    Eddie Murphy would have made the list but for the exceptions of the first hour of Trading Places, and his finest moment on (off) film - Donkey.

    Burt Reynolds for years, would have been a gold standard of awfulness, but Boogie Nights ruined his use as a reliable barometer.

    Brilliant.. he really is truly awful. Jimmy summed it up perfectly he's a disgusting bstard.

    Kevin Spacey is top of my list though a horrible little weasel of a man, i know that'll probably be a controversial one but there has to be someone out there that agrees with me, one of the most overrated actors of all time. He really has made the sniveling little cnut role his own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,454 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Jeff Goldblum < there is a face i would never get tired of punching, absolutely infuriates me with his twitchyness and little nuances. id love to cut his hands off so i couldn't flap them around his face every time he's on screen.

    6.17 into this clip typifies everything i HATE about him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 416 ✭✭Predhead


    Julia Fooking Roberts!! I destest her and her stupid horse mouth. Rubbish actress and egomaniac - even comes across in her roles!

    +1 for Matthew McConaughey. What an absolute gimp and awful actor.

    Who else to hate...

    ..Sarah Jessica Parker and those other tramps from that bullsh1t program.

    Katie Holmes - zzzz 'nuff said.

    Zach Braff is kind of annoying too. That's it for now! :D

    Oh and to a previous poster:

    To be fair Al Pacino does shout quite a lot in Carlito's Way. Still love 'em though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    sarah jessica parker!? how is she on tv (and movies) she looks like a foot!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,727 ✭✭✭fluke


    Great thread

    Al Shouty Pacino & Rob De Niro _two greats of a time - one relies heavily on shouting and the other on smirking.
    Adam Sandler - He's been playing happy gilmore up to reign over me, hell i thought he'd get a golf club out in that one.
    Eddie Murphy - even shrek is hard to watch with him on it.
    Mike Myers - okay he releases one good film, then franchises the F..king life outta it.
    Nick Nolte - mumbling f..k
    Julia Roberts - whiney cu.t
    Catherine Zeta Jones - i would, but she can't act.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    oh there's too many to mention... there are few actors that I wouldn't have some gripe with in some form.

    The worst I'd say for me is Owen Wilson and Samuel L Jackson. Owen Wilson because he talks through his nose and Samuel L Jackson because he has to play as Shaft in every movie hes in.

    PAUL WALKER! WHO told him he could act?! I'd gladly blast his face at close range with a shotgun.

    Drew Barrymore with that stupid f**king lisp she has that audiences seem to cream themselves for, BLEEEEUUUUURGH!!

    Nicolas Cage da f**king bulbous eyed hick sounding pr1ck. "Put the Bunny back in the box" What a waste of skin...

    Shia LeBoeuf-- Could you find a more annoying little pr1ck, and thay say he's the next big thing???!

    Sarah Jessica Parker, HORSE! AND her husband Ferris Bueller killed an Irish person in 1987 and got away with it.

    Uma Thurman, she's like your ugly spinster aunt that comes over to stay! YOCK!

    Tom Cruise was cool until he became a brainwashed self obsessed a*shole.

    Queen Latifah is not funny just cos she's black.

    James McAvoy, did he win a competition or something?

    Eminem-- F*cked up nose with a George Michael haircut, go back to your trailer.

    Jade Goody. Okay so she's not an actor but somebody should put down the pig!
