What are some actors/actresses whose movies you REFUSE to watch?

[Andrew NDB]

Like if they're in a movie in any significant fashion, it'd be a hard NO. For me, I think just these two :

* Pete Davidson.
* Kumail Nanjiani.

If it's not a huge part I can probably stomach Kumail, but man that guy is like nails on a chalkboard. Pete Davidson I can't tolerate even a small dose. Patton Oswalt is almost on this list.

Not one particular person, but too many Indians, muslims or Pakistani's in a movie/show and I can't get through it. Like I tried to watch Marvel's Kamala Khan show from a few years ago, and I felt like I was being indoctrinated into the middle east. Even on 2x speed it was hard to get through it all, but I persevered.

* Jessica Chastain: It's mainly because of how she gave the 4th of July two middle fingers in 2022, only because she disagreed with a decision the U.S. Supreme Court made. I won't see another movie of hers until she publicly gives a sincere apology for how wrong it was to do that.

* Rachel Zegler: She's another unprofessional elitist who causes way too much controversy.

* Billy Eicher: I never want to watch another movie of his again after he used the F-word to describe all Christians in 2022, after he was also extremely disrespectful and angry like Chastain over the same decision made by the Supreme Court. He's not even that funny. He got on my nerves in Parks & Recreation. I never rewatch his episodes.

* Martha Plimpton: An overrated actress who also takes her extremism to a level I can't agree with. The only movie I will watch her in is The Goonies and that's it. If a sequel does happen, I probably won't see it.

* Emma Corrin: Someone else who is also overrated. The producers of The Crown should never have given the part of Diana, Princess of Wales, in season 4 to Corrin, who overacted and phoned in during multiple scenes. Corrin also made Princess Diana very unlikable. Plus, Corrin has turned into a freak of nature like Ezra Miller of 'The Flash' and 'Fantastic Beasts' films. Why do people keep hiring Corrin?

*Mark Ruffalo: A VERY overrated actor who is also an anti-Catholic barbarian. The only time his performance as the Hulk is tolerable is 'Avengers: Endgame', and that's it. He was also a huge supporter of the misogynist, disrespectful, and controversial Joss Whedon who wished my sister-in-law's former boss would be raped to death by a rhinocerous.

* Rosie O'Donnell: She hasn't been funny for a very long time. Her habits and behavior are appalling and disgusting. She's also a terrible mother and is another very controversial person.

ETA:

* Jason Biggs: Another sick individual. He also can't act his way out of a paper bag. How does he get work in the industry?

[ResidentEvil7]

Jim Carrey: I thought he was hilarious when I was younger, but now I find him and his acting very stupid and annoying.

Robert De Niro: A guy who hates Trump to the point of making physical threats against him. Now De Niro is a washed up defeated old geezer.

Rosie O'Donnell: She's never been funny. She's always been mean to people.

Jimmy Kimmel: This not funny so-called comedian is grossly obsessed with hating Trump to the point he made a career out of hating him.

Justin Beiber: He was a punk thug 10 or so years ago, and hung around others like him. He made a lot of trouble towards anyone around him, including his neighbors.

It's examples above and above this post is an example to why celebrities should keep their politics and dirty personalities to themselves, because letting the world know you hate America or Trump or conservatives makes you an enemy.

That doesn't make The Godfather II suddenly crap for me or anything, it just means I don't stand in line for autograph from him.

But guys like Davidson and Kumail... it's like they can't turn it off. There's just this overwhelming aura of SMUG about them that permeates all. And it's not political at all. I just can't stand them. Every time they're "acting" on screen I just want someone to come and punch them in the mouth.

Amy Schumer is another one. Not that an Amy Schumer-type of movie would be one I'd be generally keen on watching anyway.

Robert DeNiro is also someone I also should’ve included. I guess I forgot to because he hasn’t made a good movie since 2012 or 2013 nor have I watched any of his movies since then. I don’t enjoy his acting all that much either.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Skeet act, but I do actually think he’s a great standup. It is hard to separate the annoying tabloid fodder.

I want to check out his new show “Bupkis”. Looks funny.

So what? She’s finer than frog hair. She can do whatever she wants lol.

Oh come on. Grow up.

Another boomer take. Also, he’s not an actor.

Yeah, like rambling about how great Israel is. Crazy old coot!

(Amy Schumer too.)

It was awful timing to do that because there was a shooting at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, Illinois, that day. She was only encouraging people to hate the holiday even more and cause further division and unrest. She later appeared on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that year, only for damage control. She has never once apologized for the disgusting elitism she showed on the day people celebrate the birth of America.

I can't really think of any. I know there are some actors I don't like because what they have done in real life or are just completely wretched human beings, then there is of course actors just straight up don't give performances and drag down the quality of the movie as a result. I can't really think of any instances where I have refused to watch a movie because of any one single actor though.

The thing is that I know I will always have to deal with people I don't agree with all the time, so if I based my actions all around whether or not I agree with someone all the time, then I wouldn't really get anything done and that's not really worth it, especially not when it's something as simple as watching a movie. Gwyneth Paltrow might be something of a snake oil saleswoman but it's not like I'm never going rewatch Iron Man because of that.

Then it comes to actors who just aren't good actors, Jared Leto pretty much always gives a terrible performance and I'm pretty sure he just keeps getting cast because casting directors can't see beyond the one time he was good, but that didn't stop me from watching Morbius which I knew was going to be terrible in part because he dragged it down even further than the script. I don't feel like rewatching any of the Michael Bay Transformers movies, that's not because Shia LaBeouf sucks either as an actor or as a person though, it's because just about everyone (including normally good actors) give a terrible performance based on a terrible script and receiving terrible direction to boot.

Killers of the Flower Moon was great. And he gave a great performance there. Gotta pay credit where it is due there.

He's not that liberal. And Jim Carrey kind of gave up his relevance I think about the time of the Kick-Ass 2 press junket where he suddenly felt ashamed that the movie glorified gun violence and sort of turned on the whole production. It wasn't a great movie but that was a pretty sh** thing to do. Dumb & Dumber 2 wasn't that funny and he hasn't had a Spotless Mind since... Spotless Mind.

[drgon78]

I like Jim Carry in comedies but not anything else.

I can't stand....

Blake Lively
Ellen DeGeneres
J-Lo
Jimmy Kimmel
Jonah Hill
Justin Beiber
Pedro Pascal
Rachel Zegler
Rosie O'Donnell
Seth Rogan

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill?! He's fantastic. And genuinely funny. But I think he's been shamed into being afraid of being funny for a while now because of all of his leftist buddies.

I'm pretty much the same.

Maybe I'd modify it by saying that I'm more about whatever is going on with some weirdo in the moment. For example, back when Tom Cruise was going off the deep end with scientology and bouncing on Oprah's couch I was widely disinterested in him. But he came back with TG Maverick and renewed my fandom in a big way.

But if someone is going full on "ideology" and all of what we've seen for the last ten years in entertainment (like the Snow White girl) then I'm out completely. But the truth is that most of the activist loud-mouth actors aren't making movies that I'd go out of my way to see anyway. For example, while Mark Ruffalo has popped up in a few movies I like (i.e., Shutter Island), it's unlikely that he's going to make a starring movie that I'd want to see anyway.

But with that said, at the end of the day what we do have is our spending power to vote with. Soo......

I know he's a director and not an actor but I try to avoid the works of Roman Polanski because he fled punishment for drugging and raping a 13 year old.

He's acted a little bit. He's got 41 acting credits to his name.

[ToTheNines]

Thought about this today, here’s mine:

Miles Teller - Don’t have a problem with his acting, but I just hate his face for some reason lol

Dave Franco - He is normally cast as a douche bag, so that doesn’t help. But something about him makes me want to punch him in the face.

Terrence Howard - I won’t refuse to watch his roles, sorry to bend the rules of the thread title. But I think he stinks and can’t stand him. Hate that he was Rhodes in IM1 (I love Don Cheadle but in my make believe “perfect” MCU, War Machine would be Denzel).

Brie Larson - I did like her in Skull Island, but god damn… she’s insufferable! How did she become a “thing”? There’s no way she’s actually a box office draw.

Oof. That’s a big one for me too, as well as Woody Allen.

I shudder to think what some of our favorite directors have done that we’ll never know about.
