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!

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I think he's ok in SOME roles, but some are less than impressive.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    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

    Here is my list:

    Kate Hudson Tom Cruise
    Katie Holmes Ryan Reynolds
    Jennifer Aniston Dane Cook
    Paris Hilton The ROCK
    Jessica Simpson Rob Schneider
    Jennifer Lopez Will Smith

    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.
