Actors/actresses stop you going to a film

ziedth

As the title says really,

Would a particular Actor/Actress stop you from going to see a film? For me a number of actors would have my interest in seeing a film Christan Bale naming one.

To pick mine I never got into the Office so Ricky Gervias wouldn't really appeal to me.

suimhneas

tom cruise or stephen segal uuuugh

skittle_fingers

colin farrell & meg ryan.
just thinking bout them is making me mad! >:(

spurious

Jim Carrey - unbearable.

Mr E

Dane Cook.
Any of the Wayans brothers.

jim o doom

Ricky Gervias - hate him & I wouldn't slow down if he stepped out in front of me on the road also - Nicholas Cage - jesus holy christ. Only ever did about one thing worth watching thus far (lord of war). He SUCKS.

FrostyJack

Eddie Murphy and Will Smith by far the worst!

humanji

Renee Zellweger. The bitch stopped my mate from getting to direct his first feature. Now the site of her fills me with rage. Well not so much rage, more of an mildly aggitated malaise.

How's that budd? I'm not a fan of her either.

Must say that the waynes brothers is an inspired choice. Hate them!!

I think tom Cruise is a bit harsh even though he's a twat he has done some excelent films same with Will Smith to a lesser extent.

Running Bing

Nobody would really stop me seeing a film but someone who is increasingly starting to annoy me is Tilda Swinton.

She's clearly a very talented actress but just the look of her pisses me off.


Having said that she often plays bitchy/cold characters so maybe Im supposed to feel that way towards her:D

DirkVoodoo

Paul Walker.

Any music industry produced "artist" popping up for a cameo (the likes of Usher, Justin Timberlake in Alpha dog, etc.)

Eirebear

Tom Hanks.

I always end up watching his moves "eventually" but very rarely in the cinema, i just cant stand the look of the guy.

EL_Loco

Jay-lo is getting put on that list. her last 3 (if not more), rubbish.

no one else I'd purposefully avoid.

Xavi6

Drew fucking Barrymore

I'd rather go to a pool party at Michael's than one of her films.

Can't stand her either. She nearly ruined Appaloosa for me, the horse aceted her off screen everytime they shared a scene.

Auvers

Queen "fcuking" Latifah :mad:
Martin "knob jockey" Lawrence
Eric "ginge minge" Stoltz

steve martin gives me the scour and that mimi rodgers with that voice and that bird that was in lair lair divorcee suing

L31mr0d

I don't think they'd completely put me off, but it would lower the movie in my priorities of whether and when I'd see it. Generally any of those Ken doll looking actors:

i.e.

Paul Walker
James Marsden
Rob Lowe
Chris Pine

All of them just seem too smarmy to me.

The Wayan brothers are the best ones so far.

David Schwimmer is one I can't stand as well.

Ruu_Old

Eddie Murphy or Jack Black.

Yeah, the head on him...though it might be just because of Ross that I hate him.
These two would put me off big time:

Steve Carell- can't stand him.

Nicholas Cage and his rubber face.

:mad::mad::mad:

tekyfobe

Any one of the Baldwins, though Alec's cameo in Will & Grace tipped the balance slightly from sleazy to kinda-coolin-a-culty-kinda-way

jackdaw

WILL SMITH !!!!


IDIOT !!!!


can't stand him ...

S.M.B.

Some of the films that people would miss out on if they were to actually avoid the actors they mentioned would include:

Magnolia
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
Requiem for a Dream
Adaptation
Chicago
The Wedding Singer
Glengarry Glen Ross
School of Rock

I love all those films!

seraphimvc

Renee Zellweger!!i mean her standard version,(the one one the left)

while this version looks so wrong:o


and maybe nicholas cage,his voice and hairs line...:eek:i am still shocked people pay him to act............

tbh tho,actors/actress/director+good story make me pay to watch the movie,or unless out with friends,or else open my pc go Minin*va website type the name and click click click....

Dudess

Julia Roberts... I just can't place what it is. Possibly her abominable attempts at the Irish accent in Michael Collins and Mary Reilly. Possibly the ridiculous hype surrounding her in the earlier part of her career... I'm not sure.

Does that include behind the camera? He seems to be leaving acting for directing. Still better than Matt LeBlanc or Matthew Perry, however. I wish Lisa Kudrow would do more acting, I thought she was excellent in The Opposite Of Sex.

One word: Madonna. :eek:

keefg

another vote from me for Nicolas Cage.....he is poo

dennistuam

the worst irish accent had to be sean bean playing taddy the son of the bull mccade in the field pure tea bag and john hurt was not far behind him but we will forgive him as he was trying to act the part of the village mala toola tool bag but then again the yanks must cringe when paddies try doing yanky accents

kaisersose77

Tobey Maguire
Kirsten Dunst

peanuthead

Tom Cruise
Jim Carey - all the time
Adam Sandler - when he's trying to play a serious role


Don't like the idea of British gangsters at all either, so any of them lot too

Have you watchd him in a serious role? Reign over me is excellent.

Dirk_Diggler

Will Ferrell, easy decision.

SoupyNorman

Matthew McConaughey
Jack Black



Gena Davis is no.1 however.

evad_lhorg

Jeff Goldblum. I was I could punch him in his constant stuttering mouth

RoosterIllusion

John Travolta is #1

Runners up:
Julia Roberts
Jessica Alba
Al Pacino


More to be added when I think of them.

Fully agree. I dont what it is but i just cant stand him or John Cusack. And Daniel Craig to a lesser extent

Irish actors actually seem to be pretty good at pulling off pretty much any accent. It's the Americans that simply cannot do Irish/English/Scottish as far as I'm concerned.

Colin Farrell - and no I'm not a fan - is brilliant at accents. Maybe he just has a good voice coach.

No actor would put me off going to see a film. Only the premise of the film, and even on that I've been wrong. Just watched Lars and the real girl last night, and was impressed with Ryan Goslings ability. I never would have had any interest in Heath Ledger, only to see his master class in The Dark Knight. So I watched Brokeback Mountain - not a film that ever would have interested me - and he was brilliant.

Holsten

Generally any film where a singer/model gets a big role in it.

tread_softly

nicolas cage makes me physically sick.

oh and that little bitch that was in matilda and miracle on 34th street. she's probably in her twenties now but i absolutely HATE her as a kid. she's so sickly sweet and i want to punch the screen in when i see her!

MagicMarker

Ben Affleck - cúnt.

brendansmith

Jack Black is a serious sack!

A curse on anyones house who disagrees!

That is an epic suggestion, God I just cant stand the young one in any of her films. Just because she has the Lisp and is sweet. Killed me.

kaisersose77 Tobey Maguire
Kirsten Dunst

I'm guessing your not a spiderman fan :D:D

mountainyman

I hate that smug guy who loves himself.

He went to jail
He is in Air America
Natural Born Killers
Tropic Thunder

I hate him and I want him to die and go to hell

Tupins

I used to avoid films with Keira Knightly in them but I actually liked Atonement despite her so I would weigh up how much the film attracted me versus my dislike of her when deciding whether or not to go to see it.

However, I absolutely refuse to endure any film with either Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller in it - I don't care what the film is about.

Maximilian

Rob Schneider - no explanation required.

Sarah Michelle Gellar - she just irritates me

Keanu Reeves - a retard

Ben Affleck - stay behind the camera please, that what you are good at.

The Hoff - seriously, jokes aside, the man sucks.

Madonna

AssaultedPeanut

Robin Williams

Steve Martin

Keira Knightly

Reese Witherspoon

:mad:

Robert Downey Jr.?

He was outstanding in Tropic Thunder, his impression was spot on and one of the best comedic performances I have ever seen.

Natural Born Killers was **** anyway.
Also a 1990 film with him and Mel Gibson has to be **** anyway. Its the law.

Karmella

Tom Hanks
Tom Cruise
Juliette Lewis
Jim Carrey

I would be hesitant to see any film with these people in it .... but it would really depend on the film - after all eternal sunshine was great and jim carrey was really watchable, also the road to perdition had a pretty watchable understated tom hanks.

and juliette lewis just makes my skin crawl .... that voice .... jeebus.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

George Clooney or Nicholas Cage.
