Took a looooong time to get that movie out of my head. It may have single-handedly stopped me from seeing those kinds of movies again.
That quote from "the Hostel thread" got me thinking about actors and directors I always avoid seeing or at least I know that it's gonna suck.
What's yours? Mine are:
Barbara Streisein; Courtney Love; Nicolas Cage; Jet Li; DMX; Eddie Murphy(since '95-present);
any cast member of Friends; David Arquette; Freddie Prinz Jr; Ben Affleck (post-'98-present); Steven Segal; ...just a few names.

Directors include Eli Roth; Tyler Perry; Michael Bay; producer Jerry Bruckheimer; WWE Studios; just to name a few.

    Tom Cruise, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kevin Costner, 1990-present Steve Martin, Stallone/Scwarzenegger. That's all for now. I'm sure I'll think of others.

    EDIT: I forgot Jamie Foxx!

    thank you for that GREAt laugh at the near end of a dull workday!



    damn, there are FAr too many actors/actresses/directors that i may dislike, but it is rare for me to completely discount a movie simply b/c of it. b/c even some actors i cannot stand, somehow manage to pull off good roles at times, etc. o if a movie's premise intrigues me at all, i won't let my dislike for a particular actor/director stop me from checking it out necessarily. yes, i am wait for the dvd...but nonetheless...i HAVE been pleasantly surprised, so why miss out? altho i will say, jennifer love hewiit IS a pretty damn fine excuse to miss a flick, as are others ;)...but yea.....i usually just avoid 'dumbass comedies'...or 'horror gore-fests'...so partuclar genres moreso than people.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Exactly! That's just silly talk. Okay, maybe he's made some bad movies, especially lately, but he's had plenty of great roles:

    Raising Arizona
    Moonstruck
    Wild at Heart
    Leaving Las Vegas
    8MM

    Those are just off the top of my head.

    Jim Varney and anything he was in! Oh, this is which actors prompt you to avoid a movie. I thought it was the reverse. Never mind! Back to work! Nothing to see here! KNOWUTIMEAN?!?

    For some reason the first person that pops into my head is Freddie Prinz. He's just about the least talented person to ever star in a movie, IMO. That blonde girl from Scary Movie bothers me a lot (but I loved Lost in Translation anyway). Rosie Perez is pretty damn annoying. Going back to the 80's, I always found John Laroquette and Charles Grodin very annoying. Skeet Ulrich is pretty terrible. I'm sure I'll think of more later.
  • I hate modern Al Pacino.
    any movie that has Paul Giamatti in it is destined to be anger inducing.

    um, I hate Jennifer Aniston, I hate Jennifer Lopez, I refuse to watch any movie with Will Smith, I used to hate renee zelleger with a passion - but unfortunately she is in a good Jude Law movie. (just don't try to tell me that she is attractive. because she looks like she has pig grease on her smeary gross face)

    I am not a fan of any of those stupid "action" dudes jean claude, segall, whatever...

    i hate Owen Wilson. I really want to rip his nose off and crap in the hole.

    i am sure there are more...

    Okay now that is ridiculous!! I've heard a lot of people bitch about Owen Wilson's nose but that's the best line ever!
