Actors that put you off watching a film

[Tony Moanero]

Jennifer Grey. I can just about tolerate her in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I used to own the Dirty Dancing soundtrack on cassette, but couldn’t bear to watch the film.

I’ve not watched Elf, but was given the DVD last Christmas. The best Christmas film is A Christmas Carol (Alastair Sim), closely followed by A Christmas Story.

I’ve always thought she was terribly cast for it. A cool character like Swayze wouldn’t so much as said “Hi” to her, let alone danced with her, surely?

Ha ha. Does he have sexual intercourse with her? I like to think that when presented with the opportunity, he feigned a migraine and went the Double Deuce for a bevvy.

What. The. Fuck. 1) she’s great 2) Dirty Dancing is great 3) she’s great.

I cant remember. I only watch it for Penny and the final dance. He must have goosed her like. 

 

I'd like to see this cunt walk into the Double Deuce and order a Babycham

Some absolutely mad shouts going off in here.  Tom Cruise is a weird nutcase but I’ll pretty much watch anything he’s in because he’s a great actor and clearly knows how to pick a good script.  It’s rare he makes a bad film.  The majority of Arnie films are still amongst the most underrated films going.

 

I sort of agree with Vince Vaughn shout.  He was absolutely shocking in the second season of true detective but he’s in that brawl in prison film and it’s good.  It changed my opinion on him.  

 

Will Ferrell just isn’t funny.  He thinks shouting things louder and louder makes things hilarious.  His appearance in wedding crashers just about sums him up and you get people wetting themselves over it.  Elf is genuinely one of the worst films I’ve ever seen.  I actually had the misfortune of going to the cinema to see it.  It’s like somebody just said I know what will be a funny idea let’s get Will Ferrell in to play a role where he thinks he’s an elf despite being a fully grown man and then just didn’t bother to write a script.  The only “jokes” were actually in the trailer and they weren’t even funny.  It’s so bad it’s painful.

 

Rebel Wilson is just raw aids.

I can’t stand Katee Sackhoff’s stupid face.  I don’t know how I got through Battlestar years ago and she keeps turning up in things I like because they’re series and not films I can’t just fuck them off.

Never seen A Christmas Story.

 

It's A Wonderful Life, Scrooged, The Snowman, Father Christmas, Bad Santa, Muppets Christmas Carol, Nightmare Before Christmas, Die Hard and Home Alone, off the top of my head, are all better Christmas films than Elf.

There's a scene in one of his films (Anchorman, maybe) with him and Jack Black, and he stands out as the one who is overacting.

 

Just think about that. Being a worse overactor than Jack fucking Black.

 

Stewie Griffin called it right.

Not only the best Christmas film, but one of the best films full stop.

The first time I watched a film with him in was High Fidelity and I thought he was great but then every time you see him you just slowly realise what a complete twat he is.  I hate it when classic films get remade and they turn them into these new shit “comedies” and hire bell ends like Black to do them.  Gullivers Travels and Jumanji being his twos.  Not his but Ghostbusters is another one and was an 80s comedy I suppose but what they did with the remake was embarrassing.

That Mr Deeds looks charmless and hateful and I got less than halfway through the trailer for the Walter Mitty remake, before going on a killing spree.

Elf is brilliant. 

[General Dryness]

Having read this thread, I'm adding Hugh Grant to my list. That whole effete Englishman act just grates.

 

And Jack Black as well. School of Rock is fucking execrable.

Four Wedding & a Funeral and Notting Hill are boss. 

 

Jack Black is great in High Fidelity.

I'm still in shock that there's blokes who like Dirty Dancing.

 

An ex of mine once forced me to watch it & we nearly broke up, this was about half an hour into it as well (I didn't see any more of it). Films for menopausal fucking morons.
