For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

    My wife laothes Tom Cruise. Hard stop. No exceptions. I don’t have any problems with him as an actor, the Scientology insanity is a whole other matter.

    …maybe one exception: I was able to talk her into seeing Edge of Tomorrow by telling her that he dies 26 times on-screen and countless times off-screen.

    Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don’t realize it’s him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.

        Edge of Tomorrow is just Tom Cruise getting killed over and over again. It’s great for people who hate Tom Cruise!

    Scar Jo. She’s just not a good actor. Same with Gal Gadot. Also Jack Black and Seth Rogen and the Rock, they don’t act - they’re just themselves in every movie.

      Aside from one or two movies like Tropic Thunder, I feel like Tom Cruise is largely the same way. His movies have largely become a playground for him to fill his Adrenalin lust with crazier and crazier stunts.

        This is the one I came here for. Really don’t care for him. Only exception I make is Edge of Tomorrow which is great. Maybe because his character starts as an entitled ass which feels natural.

    Will Farrell and people who have the same “try hard” comedy style as Will Farrell; Steve Carrell, Ben Stiller, etc.

      I still put The Late Late Show on youtube to fall to sleep to sometimes.

      You know, the good one. With Craig Ferguson.

        I’ve been watching late-night talk shows for 40-something years, from Carson to Colbert, and I truly believe nothing in the history of the format has come close to the awesomeness of Craig Ferguson’s show.

    I can’t stand Adam Sandler movies. Exceptions: The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
