    Gal Godot.

    I’m very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of 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.

    Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy ‘imposter syndrome’ vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn’t be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

    I hate that he became Scorsese’s new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.

    Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let’s be honest, there’s no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.

    Keanu Reeves.

    There’s a difference between having positive PR & being good looking vs. being able to act.

      Nobody ever said he was a great actor, and even he knows it… which is why he gave so much money to the vfx artists in The Matrix. His stint as Jonathan Harker in Dracula is legendarily awful.

      John Wick has been a big turnaround for him, but it’s a character that doesnt talk unless he absolutely has to.

      Yeah he’s a truly awful actor. I’m amazed he’s as popular as he is. His real life training to do his own stunts for John Wick is super impressive, and I think the first movie was fine for him since he barely talked, but goddamn, any time he says anything it’s just such a chore to listen to.

      The scene in the second matrix movie where Hugo Weaving comes back and confronts him has such an incredible monologue from Hugo Weaving, and then one fucking line from Keanu is just so goddamn stilted it almost ruins the whole scene. Lol

          Yours is perhaps an even better example, but I was thinking of this scene from the second matrix movie:

          https://youtu.be/poLPKdc-zTY

          Either way, I totally agree. I’m Sure it’s tough for even highly skilled actors to share the screen with a master like Hugo Weaving, but for Keanu Reeves, it really serves to highlight how stilted he is. At least for me.

          Still seems like a cool guy though and his movies can be fun.

      I don’t like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them “I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end” and the agent just says okay.

      They’re pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it’s pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.

            Well considering that I detest Adam Sandler, obv no.

            He’s an irritating little shit who never grew out of being 5 years old. He’s not funny, he’s not charismatic, I hate his ugly little beady-eyed face.

      She’s very typecast, but she can act. If she actually got a role where she could show strong emotion, I think she could rise to it well. She’s good in Challengers and great in Euphoria.

    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.
