What's the deal with Richard Gere?

This guy is a terrible actor! Name one good film he was in... I mean that he was good in. The Jackal is on at the moment and the Irish accent is a disgrace. Fair enuf, most can't put on a good Irish accent but name a film where his acting is good. Also, I think most people have more than three facial expressions (unless they're botoxed to bits!!)

IMO he was good in both Chicago and Pretty Woman.

Didn't he get rushed to hospital before with a gerbil (allegedly) shoved up his ass?

secret_squirrel · 01-05-2005 11:08pm

Saw that dance film on the plane with him and jlo in it. Grudgling have to say it and he was alright.

Larianne · 01-05-2005 11:09pm

Pretty Woman would have been good with any auld geezer. His performance in Chicago was pretty wooden like in most of his films. Like loosen up man!

Larianne · 01-05-2005 11:14pm

Betcha you didn't know his middle name is Tiffany!!!

Eh...wtf?

Larianne · 01-05-2005 11:24pm

Well even if it did die, it'd have more expressions than Gere!

Anyway, those 2 films were the only 2 films I liked him in.

a shear masterpiece! full of emotion and drama.

Larianne · 01-05-2005 11:30pm

There was 'Unfaithful'. He was good in that. I mean if you were married to him, of coure you're gonna go off with Olivier martinez. He has at least 7 facial expressions and speaks with a french accent. So Richard was beilevable in that!

The best south park pointless sub plot ever.

Larianne · 02-05-2005 1:23am

here's the proof that his expressions are limited!

ferdi · 02-05-2005 1:25am

Thats the only thing i associate with him. So funny someone should bring that up. In fact, I was expecting this whole thread to be dealing with his anal exploits

Well the story is complete bullsh1t. Never let the truth get in the way of juicy gossip.

For anyone criticising Gere's acting abilities I have two words; Keanu Reeves.

monkeyfudge · 02-05-2005 3:59am

I'm not much of a fan of the guy...

But he did a good job in the Mothman Prophicies.

Primal Fear, Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman maybe Internal Affairs and Chicago, possibly a few more that escape my memory.
You don't know much about films do you?

Whoa

Larianne · 02-05-2005 11:43am

Ive seen a good few of his films The Jackal, Chicago, Unfaithful, Sommersby, Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Officer and The Gentleman, and prob a few more which I turned off. He's ****e. At least you can get a laugh outta watching Keanu Reeves and his bow legged runs he does in flims!

The whole Richard Gere Gerbil story is apparently BS... but entertaining nonetheless!

golfgirl · 04-05-2005 9:03am

He was bearable in Primal Fear and Unfaithful ..

Try 'Looking for Mr. Goodbar' ... to see him in his early days ... he plays a really sweet romantic guy ...... ! :eek:

pickarooney · 04-05-2005 9:07am

Why do men hate Richard Gere so much? I mean, I'm a man and I hate him, so I'm not judging or anything, but why so much loathing?

Besides the fact that he's never been in a decent film.

For just a second I thought that said Mr T and the Women. Now that's a film I'd go and see.

I pity the fool that wouldn't want to see that film.....

Alright I'm off

Where did I leave my coat

Sleepy · 04-05-2005 11:46am

He's the male equivalent of someone like Jennifer Lopez. Eye candy for the ladies.

Lainey · 04-05-2005 11:52am

i loved him in pretty woman, unfaithful, sommersby and esp officer and a gentleman..

LoneGunM@n · 04-05-2005 12:38pm

I thought he did a good job in the Mothman Prophecies too, but that'd be about it!!
