It is Friday and while checking to decide what movie I might see this weekend I saw some pictures and I decided to start this post.
What actors/actresses/ directors or film makers and films that seem to garnish all this love but manage to suck anally.
List your least favorite actors, actresses, directors, films and maybe even entertainers who make you ask yourself: why all the love for this untalented mother ?
Mine:
Actresses : Jennifer Aniston. Hollywood has been trying to force feed us this sub par and unattractive actress for years. She may have been good in friends but lets face it: Shes untalented and rather homely.
Gabrielle Union. I don't hink this broad can act (no matter how hard she tries) and she never comes off looking or making herself believable. If not for the talented Tyler Perry this chick would still be waiting tables. Maybe she should start being a groopie and if fortunate some pro atheleth can knock her up and then she can give up acting and spare us.
Directors; Ron Howard. yes, Opie from the old Andy Griffith show. for some reason the critics refuse to trash him or his films (which I find to be so uninspiring). I refuse to see any film that this Howdie Doody look a like helms. His last decent film was Cocoon back in 1986...
I may add some actor in the near future...

Actresses - Cameron Diaz, she just isn't as sexy as people make out.
Directors - tarrantino , I don't like any of his films.
These are just the ones that popped into my head but there are so many more that irk me!
:-@
Love him or hate him, this prick has a way of landing roles in great films. Since Top Gun in 1986 he has a monopoly on top films. Rain Man, a Few Good Men, Jerry mcGuire, the Last Samurai, Collateral... just to name a few.
Can you name a bad Tom Cruise film?
and add Angelina Jolie to this, she's not a big star, not that attractive, quite the opposite even and I think this is one example at least of 'star status' exaggeration
Someone mentioned Tarantino as a film director, Yes I'll go along with that. It's nothing personal, just that I think sometimes it's gets a bit blown out of proportion sometimes giving this individual accolades and recognition when not really necessary. There are many more lesser distinguished directors out there who don't always get the recognition they deserve
*runs away*
I don't mind Cruise as an actor, as with Hanks before he doesn't really make a meal of his showbiz lifestyle and goes about his business quietly. They're the ones I have more respect for, they realize they may be good actors and high profile but keep it to themselves
PS - Yes Diaz is overrated and not exactly of 'Miss World' standards- well said
I agree, to an extent. Titanic and Avatar were overrated and they've sullied his name. But Terminator 1 and 2, True Lies, Aliens and the Rambo he did were all excellent action films.
Dane Cook, on the other hand, has done nothing good. He is the least funny comedian ever. His success pains me.
Don't hold back Mate haha
Though she was probably plastered in make-up to be fair.
Interesting point although I think I prefer her in shrek lol
I don't know if I'd say Tom Cruise is overrated. He's a decent actor. The fact of him being a douche just taints every film he's in.
Agreed on Aniston being overrated. Average acting ability; average looks. I can't name one of her movies.
Agreed. Nowadays, not so much.

Well there's Derailed, Along Came Polly (actually not that bad), The Break Up and errrrr.........Friends...no wait thats not a movie.
mission impossible 2, cocktail.
*narrows eyes and chases angrily*
What Rambo did Cameron do? He did a first draft of the Rambo 2 screenplay but thats as far as it went.
For all that you can slate Titanic for its cheesy love story, you have to say that it is impressive and was an epic undertaking. Same could be said of Avatar I suppose even though I've never seen it and never will.
T1 & T2 and Aliens are decent but True Lies is a right pile of sh*te. I would say my favourite Cameron film is probably the Abyss - until he ruins it with all the alien bullsh*t.
But hes well overrated. In terms of techincal acheivements hes defintely up at the top along with Lucas but a film is about story not how much computer processing power was used to make it and Camerons scripts are generally pretty ropey as hes more concerned with the effects.
Don't get me wrong, I completely agree that he's overrated. I just think he did do some decent work earlier in his career. The comparison to Lucas is a pretty accurate one.
And don't bother with Avatar. Watch 'Dances With Wolves' and imagine it's done with blue aliens and you'll get the entire plot, just better told.
'James how do you think I should play this scene?'
'Look just work it out for yourself would you. I'm a bit busy making sure these alien tree branches wave convincingly in the wind.'
Kate Winslet says she would never work for him again. Unless they offered her a truckload of money.
Titanic is a story about some rich gal gives up her lifestyle to be with a boy from other side of the tracks...how many times have that been done?? Women love this sloppy moppy tale while men just cringe at some parts in this three hour love story.
Avatar is just cowboys and Indians story. How many times have we seen that?
Cameron must have felt pretty silly losing the Oscars to one of his ex wives project (The Hurt Locker)
Terminator 1 and 2, Aliens, and True Lies are top notch though...but he is so hung up with the high tech BS and not so much story these days.
Agree on True Lies, Bain - good film. One of the few Arni films, that were decent IMO.
But i was bored out of my mind during TDK. Aside from those Joker scenes, bale and the rest were incredibly dull. And that Maggie Gyllenhal is not even pretty, much less a beautiful heroine. Even as a woman, I like my heroines pretty.
But just like with Avatar, obviously the rest of the world thought different.
Ahhh the ONE fan who lobbied for the sequal!
Sure with over a billion in BO, I am the only fan...
Can you name a good Tom Cruise performance?
On a tangent Brad Pitt who was also in Interview with a Vampire has not only become a movie star but also a great actor.
Sam Mendy Bendy is an overrated director.
