'Stars' that would put you off seeing a movie?

Pigman II

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?

kaimera

Leo di caprio.
*shudders*

Bounty Hunter

Any type of pop singer
Britney Spears - Crossroads
Mariah Carey - Glitter
etc
nice to look at once their not acting at the time

Johnny_the_fox

Richard Gene... nearly put me of seeing mothman prop...

Frank Grimes

Julia Roberts or Hugh Grant come to mind pretty quickly.

Tusky

madonna !

Zaphod B

D) all of the above

Space Coyote

Emilio Estevez and Steve Guttenberg

therecklessone

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?

Gordon

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!

lamda

Kevin Bacon - he cant keep his clothes on
Keanu Reeves - just atrocious!!!
Jennifer Lopez - ugh
Kenneth Brannagh - up his own arse

pickarooney

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?

DiscoStu

i despise colin farrell, tom cruise and haley joel osment but that didnt stop me from from going to see minority report or AI.

a good film is a good film.

Karl Hungus

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.

BLITZ_Molloy

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

Bard

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...

Venom

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.

Jim

Al Pachino - washed up cop
Liam Neeson - concerned irish daddy / jedi
Colin Farrell - the next al pachino apparently:rolleyes:

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

/snaps out of trance

Rabies

steve martin

Space Coyote

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.

As for myself, Hugh Grant drives me insane.

Also that insipid twat Andie McDowell.

Keno2

Colin Farrell the tool bag. What an annoying sack.

Winning Hand

Kevin Bacon- Such an ugly bastard I cant concentrate on the film
Freddie Prinz Jr = muppet

Clintons Cat

Eddie Murphy

ThenComesDudley

Leo di caprio, i cant take him serious

pickarooney

Watch This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape then.

Asuka

Any singer turned actor. Theyre all rubbish.

A

flyz

Clint Eastwood ( but that's more personal taste ) he's a good actor I just don't like his movies


The Rock ( or any other wrestler for that matter )

TheFoot

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.

Loomer

I disagree with Leo DC even tho he is a nance, some of his earlier films were excellent ala Gilbert Grape, This Boy's Life

Al Pacino career went downhill after Scarface IMO Why does the guy have to shout in every film. Hes like that ****head in your first band who always turns his instrument louder and drowns out everyone, sheesh

Goldie Hawn annoys the crap out of me

Christopher Lambert, what can I say, I hope he is the One and Only

Robin Williams but that's a no-brainer

as is Kevin Costner

P.S as above Freddie Prinze Jr. Every time I see him I feel this uncontrollable urge to punch the screen

Victor

Kurt Russell - I avoid his films like the plague. Richard Gere - have only watched 4-5 of his films. Steve Martin, Chris Tucker, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey (exception The Truman Show) and Emilio Estevez can be a bit much to take in their comic roles. Christopher Lambert, Steven Segal and Kevin Bacon suffer in parts from the projects they are associated with, not necessarily them or their skills. Kenneth Brannagh is a Shakespearean actor and should maybe stay there

Ill totaly agree with this, Leo Di Caprio was superb in this film, as was Tom Hanks, brilliant film, recommended to everyone, even people who hate either acter, just to see if your opinions change of them.

uh huh, and elijah wood, can't stand him.

Karl Hungus

Oh yes!

The cast from friends.

Clintons Cat

Vin Diesel,After Pitch black which was a competent though not outstanding movie ,his movies have been Moronic "Star Platforms"

Fast and the Furious,more like the dull and the dubious.Moronic plot devices and terrible dialogue,apparently devised to prove that even when your dying upside down in an overturned sportscar,You can still look good.
Sequal out soon Entitled, The Faster and the Furiouser

xXx the less said about this movie the better,seemed to consist entirely of Mr Diesel being chased through a series of explosions,though since i managed to sleep through most of it some of the ultra stylistic flourishes might have been lost on me.

He's an excellent actor is smaller roles. He's just bad at being in big epics. If you've seen him in "Whats eating Gilbert Grape" you'll know how fantastic he can be. Spielberg picked him on the strength of his performance in that film and rightfully so.

tman

hugh grant tbh
rosie o donnel is pretty damn annoying

Thanx 4 The Fish

I don't really care about the actors, if a movie is done well then I will go and see it regardless of whether tom Hanks or Boyband member #4 is playing the lead.

karma kabbage

hugh grant is here alot but he was pretty good in 'about a boy'

Personally it's sandra bullock. She just gets right up my nose the fiend

Mewzel

Lpfsox

• Leonardo di Caprio
• Tom Hanks
• Robin Williams
• Mel Gibson
• Jennifer Lopez
• Britney Spears
• Sandra Bullock
• Julia Roberts
• Bruce Willis
• Colm "Token Irishman" Meaney

perhaps I need thereapy?

Cheez

id still let her poslish my bellend with those juju's tho

so now so there so

and kirsten dunst
although she could sit on my face as... anyway

super_furry

Anything with Tom Cruise or Di Craprio.

darthmise

Julia Roberts, Ben Affleck, Nicholas Cage ( though i love Raising Arizona)
Haley Joel Osment, Any one of the Baldwins, Rob Schnieder, That ohter guy in high school high, any film with any of the Friends cast.

ImpactPlayer

Russell Crowe - because he is such a tosspot in real life. And I can seriously say I would die happy if I never see a single Vin Diesel Movie, although I dont think he qualifies as an actor!

Kai

Can pretty much understand why people have chosen who they have chosen, but whats the problem with colin farrel, thought he was ok in that harts war thing although it was a fairly crap flick.

Id have to go with adam sandler for this though, i can put up with a lot of crap. hugh grant trying to look like a he could get any woman he wants {for a price :-D } but at least he is passed the whole stuttering his way thru movies. he must have gone to the same guy as gareth gates.
But if i hear Adam sandlers baby talk in another film i think ill go mental, that film where he adopts the kid......oh god.
