Ask Lemmy

I disagree heavily with Collin Farrell! He sucks when he's in a big budget movie but he's fantastic when he does his little art films.

Check out In Bruges as a great example.

The rule I've always gone with is that if the average person knows the movie exists he probably sucks and otherwise he's fantastic.

I always had this impression that Colin Farrell was just a pretty boy with no acting talent. But then I saw him in Banshees of Inisherin and my mind was blown. He was amazing - his performance absolutely gutted me. If you're willing to give him a try, you should watch that movie.

You beat me to it. I like(d) him in his early career, then it got to the point where pretty much everything I saw that had him in it sucked, so if he was in a movie, it was a sign to me to skip it. I have had a bit of a change of heart in some of his latest stuff, I'll at least consider watching it if there's a modicum of evidence that there are redeeming qualities to the movie overall.

The other aspect of it is that I used to think he was good looking when he was young, and then sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s he just seemed to turn physically repulsive to me. Part of it is his hair. I think if he ever got a good hair cut or played a part that involved wearing a decent hair piece, it might not be so bad.

Good grief, another one I was going to mention that's already covered.

His movies are mostly bad, I think you and I might agree on that.

But the other aspect of it is that a lot of the people I knew who liked his early movies were just really shitty humans. So by association, I think that affected how I saw his movies. Just seemed like a magnet for terrible people and it was hard to separate those two things for me. Not to mention, the movies themselves were objectively somewhere between awful and just not that great, so I didn't feel like I was missing out much.

Oh, and I got "dragged" to that movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry IN THE THEATER. And that reasserted everything I already knew to be true about Adam Sandler movies.

it was the same for me about Sandler until I saw Uncut Gems, finally he showed that he can act.

He's doing ads for some religion based mobile app. He even sucks in those.

Chris Pratt is one of my big ones... Can't stand the guy

Agreed, but I still love Inception.

He did an incredible job in Django Unchained, but other than that I would agree with you. I don't believe it is his fault though, more a result of how he is always cast.

I enjoy them, they're easy to watch, I don't need much

I don't know the man but somehow Tom Hanks gives me the "very freaky but very good at hiding it" vibes. 🤷

What's the deal with Sorbo?

Kevin Spacey has been great or straight up magnificent consistently, lol, is it the moral aspect that disturbs you? I firmly believe (and evidence keeps piling up!) that most Hollywood actresses were couch casted, many boys were touched and the cycle repeats. The entire entertainment industry is compromised and has been for years (check out who taught Diddy his tricks). Nvm the "Hollywood accounting" too, money laundering and all of that.

Basically, if you're enjoying American media, odds are it was made by someone who's gonna go straight to Hell, no "Go" no 200 bucks, and bigger odds than whoever is making money out of your purchase/rental is going to an even lower circle, lol. Just pirate it and you take away your contribution to amorality, right?

Gadot being pro genocide is a good reason not to support her

Hate the person, love the actor. He's made loads of good movies, so I can't complain

I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise either, but I love Edge of Tomorrow. That might be my only exception
