Melissa Gilbert - aka Laura Ingalls, aka 'half-pint'
Oh, she just grosses me out. I find her offensive. Bleccchhh... I liked Mary and Nellie was a hoot and a few of the minor characters (Patrick Labyorteaux was hot!) were okay. I didn't like Pa (except when he went around topless. He had some nice big nipples!) , I could stand that drip Karen Grassle and the show wreaked of good intentions. But Laura was the worst for me. She really brought out my bad side!

It it wasn't for Laura Mr. Dirty, we wouldn't even have had Little House On The Prairie. The actor that played Albert became a real cutie pie in the mid 80's. His buddy in Wes Craven's Deadly Friend - 86' was also quite hot and they made a nice screen pairing. Pity they weren't vying for each other instead of Samantha. They were the same gen as me.
I like the movie "Deadly Friend"

I like the movie "Deadly Friend" Craven got flack for it being his first big studio film Warner Bros, but I like the atmosphere and story of it. I had the novel in the early 90's loaned it out and never saw it again. I didn't get to read it myself. Craven was the real deal, starting with Last House on the Left, which I think it a masterpiece, despite some of the awkwardness. It has none of the hatefulness of today's socio-horror offerings and ten times the punch. Thank God he cooled down after that experience. Compared to "Last House", Freddy Krueger is a teddy bear.

Just to list some with some comments that are average at best overall... -Meryl Streep (considering some seem to act like she's the measuring stick for 'great acting', she's not even close in my mind as she lacks a solid all around presence in general which that alone stops someone from being among the elite in acting in my book. she's more technical kind of acting than a natural all around presence) -Cate BLANDchett (her presence is too dry for my taste) -Christian Bale (for a a-list actor he's got a weaker overall presence than most. I am not against seeing him in a movie but at the same time he's not really going to boost a movie with his presence either. I sort of see him somewhat like some of the others listed here in that he seems to be more of that technical kind of acting but lacks a strong screen presence (he lacks charisma etc) straight up which is more important.) -Steve Carell (anything comedy... I am straight up avoiding him as he's not funny. but he seems to mostly disappeared nowadays so he's generally not a issue) -Daniel Day-Lewis (he's not bad but sort of like Meryl Streep in that it seems some consider him to be the measuring stick for 'great acting', when he's not even close) etc etc. with that said, the only ones I can't stand are... Tom Green/Sacha Baron Cohen and those Jackass guys. these guys so-called "comedy" just makes you want to smack the crap out of them. hell, ill even go as far as to say those Jackass guys are a bit messed up as one of them stuck a condom with a toy car in it up their behind. no normal person would do that and what's worse it's supposed to be consider 'comedy' but it's more like some level of depravity. SandmanYeah, I got to say they are weaker than most at the very least. p.s. it's not helping that I am not a fan of them as a person either. Toasted CheeseYeah, I might agree with you on some level as it seems like he disappeared back-in-the-day then re-emerged as Tony Stark(Iron Man) as that persona gets a bit old after a while. p.s. and given my comments about Bale... we are pretty much in agreement, at least as far as saying he's overrated in that he's a bigger name than his presence would suggest as his presence is a bit weak(as in he tends to lack charisma/screen presence that many of the a-list actors generally have) for a a-list type of actor. politicidalI generally don't care for Casey Affleck much either. but I will give Aaron Taylor-Johnson a pass for Nocturnal Animals/Savages etc. although I realize one of these two plays inline with the 'creepy' kind of role but the other (Savages) is not that type of role and I thought he was at least good enough and, while I currently don't care for it at this point in time, I won't be surprised if some remember him for Kick-Ass which I thought he did well enough to. |

Renee Zellweger - I just can't stand her. I can't get past that 'i'm sucking lemons' mouth, and how she still gets film parts after the horrible plastic surgery she's had, is beyond me.
Adrian Brody. Not sure why - maybe it's his nose.
Jennifer Aniston - I won't watch any film she is in. Again, not sure why.

Julia Roberts has a fake smile that she can put on whenever. IMO it comes across as disingenuous.
Go ahead, smile for no reason whatsoever. See how it feels. It feels fake, right?

I'm on board with the Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis picks. I don't hate them personally, but they do nothing for me in terms of film persona, and I don't get the ascent of either into mega-stardom. To those two, I'd add Angelina Jolie. Have never been able to watch anything she's done without wincing, with the possible exception of one of her earlier efforts, Gia.

Tom Hanks. I hate his movies and characters. He seems like a jerk and he is probably a bully in real life.

You know, you are right about Meryl Streep. She is obviously very intelligent, but she really does not have charisma, Her peers, like Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek are much more charismatic. Streep is a "great" actress, but she is not a star.

dirtypillowsThat's my main issue with people calling her a 'great actress' as I can't call someone a 'great actress' if they fail to have a decent level of charisma etc no matter how good they may be at more of that technical kind of acting. basically you got to have star power (i.e. solid charisma and the like) on some level otherwise I can't label someone 'great'. sure, I realize there might be some examples where someone might be a bit so-so in the more straight acting dept but might have enough charisma to make them overcome their lack of standard acting skills, especially in certain roles that suit that person. so in certain cases I can see how someone might say the one with better basic acting skills is 'better' than the person who might be so-so basic acting skills but has a bit more charisma. still, even in cases like these with the person with more limited acting but has decent enough charisma I tend to prefer (especially on average) over the one with a bit better acting skills but never really worked all that well in a movie. because some of those who are more limited in more basic acting but have some level of charisma can work fairly well in certain roles (I guess maybe the flip side of that can happen to with those who don't have much charisma but are okay enough in basic acting if their overall presence, even if it's not that strong, can work well enough in certain roles). just some thoughts

You know, you are right about Meryl Streep. She is obviously very intelligent, but she really does not have charisma, Her peers, like Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek are much more charismatic. Streep is a "great" actress, but she is not a star.I'd say Streep is an "excellent" actress, but I feel "great" is too much of an hyperbole and how does one gauge "great"? It is all semantics I know, but Streep could be "terrific" in the right role, but what I see as her own ego to be seen as "great", has really been of detriment in the long run.
She got so much praise in the 80's, that in a sense, she did have a lot to live up to and that might have been a tad unfair as well on Streep. While I have to admit I did go to her films because she was in them and see her latest accent, hindsight has allowed for much retrospection of Streep's talent and she really wasn't what she was cracked up to be, compared to more natural, believable and in the moment actresses. The paradox here, and we have already discussed this before, Streep was at her best when she was being natural and feminine and more on the lighter side. I think she felt that being a serious actress was of more importance as being a comic actress and Farrah Fawcett fell into this trap as well.
I think that's a fair assessment. Streep is "excellent" without necessarily being great. I think with "great", one would also have to have some star power, Bette Davis being the first one who comes to mind. Also like your comment about Farrah Fawcett Majors, as she was a delight on the very lightweight "Charlie's Angels" and only adequate in her attempts at drama. Why, Farrah, why? I will never stop wondering. It almost makes me sad. Back in the day, I went to see Streep's films just because she was in the them. My favorite performances of hers are ones that are all relatively low key.

I don't really have any irrational dislikes. Mine are all rational. They include: Any film with this awful piece of wood:  This one :  This annoying juiced up hamster of a man:  And then you have worthless pieces of skin like Jean Claude van Damme, Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson, vin Diesel, that awful woman who was in Sex and the City, and probably many others. |
