Cringe comedy actors like Ferrell. Just saying or doing stupid cringeworthy shit that really isn’t funny to make a situation more uncomfortable and unbelievable.
I agree with this comment in general, but don’t think Ferrell is a good example. Or really, maybe he is a good example, but the way his movies are shot isn’t a good example.
In Ferrell movies, the gag is that the actor says or does something outrageously dumb, and then the other actors largely go along with it, either pumping up the idea, or being coerced by it, or stomping it down in a hilariously insulting fashion. If there is ever a moment of awkward silence, it lingers for a second before the scene ends. Arrested Development is another example of this being done well. It’s a farce - the actions are so bizarre and outlandish that we can’t possibly imagine ourselves doing it, so we are absolved of sympathy for the cartoonish actor and enjoy seeing them fumble their way through the scene.
But there is a new wave of “cringe comedy” that seems to not understand what a farce is. A character will do something just beyond the limit of what we could imagine ourselves doing, so we can still identify with the character. Then the other characters react in the way people would react in real life - with stern condemnation or cold shouldering. And the scene goes on and on and on. It is terrible.
Ryan Reynolds. I’d be hesitant to say “everyone likes him” because while he is popular he does have a pretty big base of folks who dislike him as well.
Adam Levine
He is such a dick in real life.
Pedro Pascal
Yeah this fucking guy lol he’s everywhere
He has good comedic timing. I enjoyed him onSNL
Ya everyone likes him but me. Oh well
Julia Roberts.
She has way too many teeth, I’m scared.
Matt Damon
His most tolerable role was as the lead singer of Lustra in Euro Trip.
I thought he was quite good in The Talented Mr Ripley
Funny enough, that was the first Matt Damon movie I saw.
…aaaaaand I absolutely hated it 😆
Adam Sandler. I dunno that everyone likes him, but he seems very popular and lots of people seem to love his movies, but I can’t fucking stand him. I don’t enjoy his style of comedy, I find him equal parts vapid and grating in everything I’ve ever seen him in, I just don’t see the appeal.
From the interviews that I’ve seen and the accounts of people who’ve encountered him it seems that he’s a pretty genuine guy. He knows he’s not making high art and isn’t pretending otherwise.
I mean that wouldn’t surprise me, I’m sure he’s a lovely person, he’s just kind of the opposite of entertaining to watch for me. But, to each their own.
Ryan Reynolds because I’ve met and had the displeasure of working with him twice.
Story time?
Yea don’t just drop a shit like that and don’t flush.
Norman Reedus i guess? Im a big metal gear fan but I won’t play death stranding.
Norman reedus is gross and looks like the smelly guy with cigarette burns on his fingers and bitten up fingernails. He repulses me, I have nothing but contempt for him. He’s so skeevy looking.
Whaaaat, you don’t wanna play the game with the gross guy you dislike with pissing mechanics that also lets you collect your sweat, piss, and poop and put them into grenades to throw at ghosts?
Him being skeevy looking but actually kinda nice is the part of the appeal.
Will Ferrell. He’s a creep. He’s not funny and is way too keen to play the love interest of actresses much younger than he is.
Gal Godot.
I’m very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of attractive women. That being said, if I didn’t feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn’t made anyone else’s list because it’s such a low hanging fruit.
Oh god. Snow-white’s failure is mostly her fault.
I agree. The first Wonder Woman was ok, but she’s so stiff in everything since.
she was stiff in WW too, but it worked because the whole side plot was that she’s never met human beings and doesn’t know how to interact with them. also she’s like a demigod so being devoid of emotions doesn’t look that weird on a character like that. they played to their strengths.
most issues with movies about acting are actually issues about casting. i love Keanu, but he’s also stiff. but that worked perfectly his best roles: johnny mnemonic, constantine and of course neo. even john wick worked mostly because he’s built up for the first half of the movie as a mythical, inhuman force of nature.
so yeah for that particular rendition of wonder woman, great choice: she looks like a demigod; she acts like she’s never seen a human before. perfect.
for anything else, please kill me so i don’t have to suffer through this scene.
Anthony Mackie. Nothing particularly offensive about him, but he’s a bit of a charisma vacuum and that constant pinch-faced expression irritates me for some reason.
Well said. Can’t stand that guy.
Agreed. Mackie is just so blase. I’ve seen football fathead posters with more charisma
chris pratt and rob machlenny. stay in your lane rob, collaborating with ryan and manning is really strange for your characther, and it looks like desperation to stay with the hollywood circle of elites. your interviews you have given over the pandemic makes you extremely pretentious: acting like its secret on how to get steroids for you s13 role, and downplaying it. mooching off ryan reynolds popularity as a transaction, plastic surgery+botox is pretty much ruined your face a little, and kaitlyn olsen.
also alec baldwin.
Ryan Renoylds.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Why does this man have an acting career?
I definitely don’t think he’s super talented or anything, but he’s funny and charismatic at least.
God he’s awful. He has absolutely no acting skills. I skip everything that includes him.
He plays one character, but the character is kind of likable and funny. To me he’s the definition of a popcorn flick actor.
Are we talking about Jack Black, or The Rock…?
WWE really pushed many stars to become hollywood actors. bautista is one that actually tries as an actor, dwayne is a movie star attention seeker, also dwayne apparently is the “ellen degeneres” of behind the scenes too.
WWE did not push their guys to be Hollywood guys. WWE pushed them to be WWE film guys.
Creating their own production company to make cheap straight to DVD movies. Using them to push guys as stars.
I was pretty surprised by Cena in Peacemaker
Hot
