This is my list verbatim....

I call it "The Plane Crash List".
Beucase I want them all to be on the same plane when it crashes.

The only exception to you list, is that you left out Keanu Reeves, who will be strapped to the planes fuselage so he hits first.

Note*

It IS possible to be removed from this list, but you have to be in TWO good movies.

Brad Pitt is no longer on this list.

Snatch...

Fight Club.

Hmm, I would have to say:

Hillary Duff. I'm sorry, but it's just annoying to see her face plastered everywhere. And she stars in movies where she's the, "Under privelliged teenager with "typical" teenage problems." God. :headbang: "Oh, I like this boy, he's cute. Oh wait, this one is more understanding and cute." OK, I used a quote in a quote. That's my two cents.


Sorry, it's somewhat flaming, I needed it off my chest though.

That wasnt too bad either.

While I truly hate Tom Cruise as well.....
"The Last Samurai" was really good.

"Minority Report" was decent...but not good enough, so Cruise needs one more really good movie to live.

Hmmm I thought he was quite horrible in Last Samurai... I didn't finish watching it (watched like half of it) because they kept fitting him into every friggin scene...

And Minority Report... well I'd say he was decent in it too.

Cruise's performance was better than average in Samurai.

What made that movie was the Lord of the villiage, THAT guy was really good.
I dont ask for much, so a "better than average" performance is all it takes for me to lay off.

Besides, the Ninjas were BAAAAAD.

I dunno... it seemed to me Cruise had two modes of facial expression in that movie... Half-asleep and angry. Either he was bitching aobut how horrible they were killing native americans... or he was half-asleep sorta passive... maybe he improved toward the end... but thats the impression I got from half the movie.

If you can stand it, see the whole thing.

Lord Nabunaga (I think that was his name) was the best character in the movie.

It was very much like a modern "Shogun" but you really end up feeling a sense of pity, and immense respect for the Samurai culture.

The end, where the modern Japanese Army lays waste to the Samurai with gatlin guns and then kneels and bows to thier fallen adversaries was a great moment.

All those "cute-looking" actors who young women have a real affinity for (eg. Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey McGuire). For the sole reason they give real-life men a tough time trying to maintain a relationship with a young woman. Its sick how obsessed some of these girls get with a certain actor, that its impossible to maintain a REAL relationship.

but shogun had a bit more real history, i thought last samurai was kind of an intentional mystification of the period. it made no attempt to understand what really was going on at the time, it just created these black and white cliches about the noble samurai struggling against the evil modernizers.

I just found another reason to hate (really, to be envious of) Jake Gyllenhaal, - because he got to do the horizontal rumba with Kirsten Dunst god-knows-how-many-times , and according to her, in some London boutique changing stall and a beach.

Of course, Tobey McGuire got to do that as well didn't he?! (Dunst always have denied rumors shes dating/f*cking him) One more reason to hate those two.

Shogun was very much more true to life...and was altogether far superoir to "Last Samurai".

But it was also very very very long.

"Samurai" condensed much of that into a feature film.
Problem is..you lose much in translation.

Samurai did a decent job, without getting to heavy into Bushido.

Wich loses a lot of people.

Ben Afflecks awesome work with Kevin Smith should get him off that list.

And Collateral and Minority Report were really good, so they should do the same for Cruise.

Bu I agree with the Hillary Duff hater: Miranda was much hotter.

Oh, and I too despise all rapers. All.

I got a name for y'all.

Britney Spears.

She's just an uber slut, dresses dirty to sell more music videos, acts all stupid, and doesn't look natural.

It is my honest opinion regarding her.

I would be willing to take off Britney Spears... *IF* she does the following:

1. Stop dressing or using smutty and slutty clothes
2. She creates respectable music
3. She doesn't overuse or oversell her sexuality
4. She starts a family and stays with one man (She has already begun doing that so kudos for that)

I consider Ashlee Simpson a far better musician than Britney Spears in many ways, musical skills and being civilized.


As for movie stars, I would like Ben Affleck (His movie career went down the toliet), J-Lo (She is way too over-rated), and Anne Heche (She doesn't even have halfway decent acting talent) to be taken out of the Hollywood picture.

These 3 movie people, in addition to Britney Spears, should be prevented from making any more movies or songs. (In Britney Spear's case, until she changes her smutty ways).


Theres my 2 cents.

Tom Cruise is definitely on my list, as are Kevin Costner and Patrick Swayze and Brad Pitt...

Oh, and I would request never to have another Steven Seagal movie ever made and maybe never another Jean Claude Van Damme movie either. They get on my nerves horrendously.

I also avoid any movie made by Woody Allen. Ugh.

Oh wait...and Billy Crystal and Steve Gutenburg and Rob Schneider and what's his name from Meet the Parents and anyone who was in The Royal Tenenbaums and Dennis Hopper.

I think that just about covers it until I think of more.

Elijah Wood (LotR would have been much better if the scenes featuring gimpoiding his way through them were cut).

Orlando Bloom (Good as Legolas, shite as everything else).

Vin Diesel (do you really need a reason?)

Keirah Knightly ("Does it matter I cannot act if I look pretty?")

Hugh Grant (Mickey Blue Eyes nearly saved him...nearly)

And pretty much everyone priviously mentioned.

Ha same here. Actually I was just rooting for a rock to fall above head and let gravity work its magic.

Although the most annoying line in the film was "I am no man" before the Nazgul Lord is killed. I think I dislike it because when I saw it loads of people (girls) cheered. (I know this comes across as terribly chauvanist, but I'm not. Just cannot stand disturbances when I go and watch a film.)

Kevin Costner (Cause he's so up himself)
Helen Hunt (she is so fucking insipid looking! Where's her sex appeal - or acting ability for that matter?)
Meg Ryan (for all those truly awful romantic 'comedies' that our girlfriends forced us to go to)
Mel Gibson (for pretty much everything he's done since Mad Max. And for professing to be a Christian and putting out the extreme-violent rubbish Lethal Weapon movies)
Russell Crowe (If he was 1/10 as good as he thinks he is, he win an oscar with every movie)

For all of you people,
1. In my opinion, I think Tom Cruise is a good actor, though I thought The Last Samurai was a hit and miss performance for him, however, Collateral, Minority Report, and Vanilla Sky were good performances by him.

2. Mel Gibsons last Lethal Weapon movie was Lethal Weapon 4 in 1997 I believe. Passion of the Christ was 2004, Dont you think a person can change a little bit inbetween 7 years.

And the people for me has to be Julia Roberts, Carrot Top, I think Julia Roberts has an annoying voice, and I think Carrot Top is an unfunny pretensious hack.

Jean Claude "Goddamn I can't act" tops my list, rivaled only by Kevin Bacon.

I can't exactly say why I hate Kevin Bacon so much. But it's like we have an immortal dispute, with me at the head of the forces of good and him at the head of the forces of evil. At the end of time, there will be a great battle, and one of us will triumph. Until that day, I must seek to discredit him for everything he does.

With Jean Claude, it's a little differen't. I just think he blows.

I have merely one question;

WHY has no one mentioned the Olsen twins?! They are worth more than my entire family, yet cannot act and stick to the same kinds of 'plot lines' (I use that phrase loosely) because all they can do is a double act, and even that is questionable.

Other people are basically the ones that people have mentioned thus far. Kevin Costmore (not a spelling mistake) is top of the list - Robin Hood P.O.T did it for me...couldn't he have at least *attempted* an English accent? I mean, he *was* playing Robin Hood.

Bennifer can act occasionally, although this seems to be when he is in the presence of Matt Damon, which must be annoying for Matt. Both were good in Dogma...alas, he then bet J Lo (don't get me started on her, lol)

Ok, enough of my rant...sorry ppl, but can you really blame me? lol ;-)

So many names, so little time. Well here goes the short list:
Ben Stiller: this guy is just NOT funny.
Sandra Bullock: couldn't act her way out of a paper bag
Julia Roberts: words can't express the way I feel.
Will Farrell: another SNL reject that just is NOT funny ( he nearly ruined Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back)

I guess from these few you can extrapolate that I don't appreciate "comedians" and "pretty faces" as substitutes for actors. Not to say there havn't been comedians and hotties that have done well, just not many I can think of right now!
