S/O Classic movies you don't get: Performers you don't get
lkb:
So, I seem to be addicted to the movies/entertainment threads here. The classic movies thread got me thinking about performers I just don't see the draw for. Here's mine. (I think a lot of my attitude comes from their personal behavior off-screen).
In no particular order:
Leo DiCaprio (hated the fictional love story in Titanic and was unimpressed to read he thought he should have gotten the Oscar for it; hated him in Man in the Iron Mask -- lousy acting)
Faye Dunaway -- just such a diva and I can't recall anything I've seen her in that I liked.
Alec Baldwin -- Ditto (is a male "diva" a "divo"?)
Charlie Sheen -- Why all the attention for a train wreck waiting to happen?
Orson Welles -- Hated Citizen Kane.
Stanley Kubrick: (Okay he's a director but hated A Clockwork Orange and anything else he's done).
Anyone connected in any way with the TV show, "The View".
May he rest in peace, but Michael Jackson
That's just for starters.
Your turn....
Stanwyck:
Scarlett Johanson - she can't act, has no chemistry with any of her costars, and has no discernible personality. A triple threat. She's not even pretty enough to compensate.
lkb:
I suppose this is just because of my personality (I'm definitely not a night owl) but:
Leno, Letterman, Johnny Carson, Conan etc.: They are on waaay past my bedtime, especially on weeknights. Do THAT many people stay up THAT late to watch them? How do they function the next day?
SamiHami:
Jim Carrey-He's just not funny. Why do so many people like him?
Jerry Lewis-Same as above.
Madonna-Narcissist, mediocre singer, exhibitionist.
Lady GaGa-Same as above.
Audrey Hepburn-Boring.
Chris Noth-Don't see what others do-I don't think he's good looking or a good actor.
Alec Baldwin-How annoying!
Melanie Griffith-Terrible, awful actress and comes across as really dumb.
deety:
Russell Crowe. ::ducks from thrown tomatoes:: He's got the same, slightly vapid expression every time I see him.
Jessica Biel, Megan Fox. They have the same mannequin-like face.
I'm sure I could think of more, or Pod some others.
