Worst acting performances

There's been other threads on this.  And in them I pointed out that the worst, and most deeply offensive, acting performance is Juliette Lewis inconsistently playing an autistic woman in The Other Sister.

 

The performance is horrendous and only rivalled by the male lead in ... The Other Sister.

 

So, congratulations to a lad called Giovanni Ribisi for that.

 

 

 

Makes Ben Stiller's Simple Jack look like Robert De Niro in Raging Bull.

That’s phenomenal.

As silly as Son of Anarchy got, I thought he held up his end okay enough.

 

 

It was just about ignorable but he wasn't remotely convincing. I watched it all (giving up somewhere in the last two absurd series) several years after it came out, then watched Yellowstone afterwards. Cole Hauser's Rip was so good in comparison that I may be remembering it harshly.

Jodie Foster in Elysium, found out after that they dubbed over her lines as she put on some awful French accent that went down like a lead balloon in test screenings. Sticks out bad in what is a bang average film.

Very surprised at that.

 

I thought the first four seasons were a bit melodramatic, but mostly good TV, before it descended into satire over the last two years

 

That said, even at its best, I couldn’t imagine recommending it to you. Your sensibilities are, erm, slightly different from the Sons’ over the top storytelling style.

Shelley Duvall in The Shining has always grated on me. Kubrick practically tortured her on set to get the desired mental breakdown, but it always looks like she is responding to directions mid-scene.

[Dicko]

The entire cast of Shadow & bone on netflix.

It was so bad I couldn't finish it, even for laughs.

Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan in Power. Truly woeful acting, it's almost hysterical. 

 

However.... he's fucking superb in it and makes the show.

Didn't help that she played Olive Oyl in the Popeye film around the same time.

 

Cage in the appalling remake of The Wicker Man takes some beating.

Cage in a lot of things! Even in The Rock (Brilliant film) he's absolutely shite!

He's weird. I thought after his early-ish films that he was going to be a serious actor- he got an Oscar and multiple Golden Globe nominations- but he's done an absolute fuckton of complete shite.

Sophia Coppola in Godfather III is probably worth a shout.

That shout being

"OI! COPPOLA! NO! YOU MAY WELL IMPRESS A PRETENTIOUS CROWD WITH YOUR AMBLING DIRECTION OF NOTHING-REALLY-HAPPENS ARTHOUSE FILMS, BUT YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE AN ACTOR, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET BEHIND THAT CAMERA YOU EMBARRASSING WOODEN BASTARD!"

Fucking hell. I couldn't even watch the full trailer.

 

(For what it's worth, Giovanni Ribisi was good fun in My Name Is Earl.)

[Section_31]

Cage and Reeves are shite yet not shite. That's an art in itself and I can't explain how it works, but it does.

 

Hey John, you working?

Yeah 

Successful night?

Fraid so.

 

Magnificent.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

A guy called Josh Helman in My name is Lenny a biopic of Lenny McLean laughably ott, just awful as was my choice to watch it.

[Bruce Spanner]

Tom Hanks as The Colonel in ‘Elvis’.

 

Proper Odd.

[ZonkoVille77]

Vince Vaughan in anything. Useless

The Sand Snakes in Game of Thrones:

 

 

A rather aesthetically appealing group of gals, but there is good and not good.

 

Their acting was not good.

Sorry, I meant the last two series. Enjoyed the previous four. The last couple though, when it was just a fucking blood bath every week without a cop to be seen...yeah, not for me.

 

You're right though, I find very few programmes watchable. Hence having watched every episode of The Thick of It about eight times. Going to go through all of Deadwood again soon.

Yeah but the one on the left I'd give her memories she could recall in an instant to display genuine disgust, horror and disappointment to an Oscar worthy level.

The tits on the one in the left are in the top 5 tv tits of all time 

 

TV that is, not film. Still can't get my head around the chebs on the bird that pops out the cake in Under Siege. A full throttle pause moment if ever there was one. Bird in Road House as well. Can't believe Dalton covered her up the dancing fanny

I think that’s not an unfair conclusion.

 

Given I first brought her up, it is right that I present her enduring work:

 

As you alluded to a top 5, I think it entirely appropriate and justified for me to evidence the greatest moments in the 21st century:

Andrew Scott as Moriarty in Sherlock, terrible performance. Adrien Brody in almost everything he's done. Charlie Hunnam in everything he's done.

Fuck - that is defo one. That football violence film where he tries to do a London accent. Fuck. Me.

 

I’ll have a look for a clip. It’s beyond horrendous
