I think you missed Antony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson and Kevin Spacey there. Horrific.Nautical Honors Society said:
And you obviously haven't lived until you've seen Keanu Reeves in Constantine.
wow really?Mr.logic said:
go watch Kalifornia, 12 Monkeys, Snatch, Burn After Reading, Inglorious Basterds and a ton of others he's in.
he's honestly a brilliant actor with a lot of range. i think he's got a lot more than people give him credit for
Sam Jackson. He can only play one role: the angry black guy. And William Shatner really sucks too.
bad actors give bad performances in bad films with bad directors and bad scripts, i mean kirk douglas, george c. scott, LAURENCE OLIVIER, talia shire, sally field, marisa tomei, JACK NICHOLSON, MARLON BRANDO (twice), willem dafoe, ELIZABETH TAYLOR, robert duvall, John Voight (he's been nomintaed at least twice i think), Ralph Fiennes, sean connery, kenneth branagh and more have all either won or been nominated for razzies, giving a terrible performance or two doesn't make them bad actors (I even think De Niro and Pacino have a nom each). So Nicolas Cage has done (more than a few) howlers, he should be judged by the quality of his best work, not his worst, and his best is simply awesome.popdafoo said:
His best work was Raising Arizona and that was because the script he was working with was so well written. Keanu Reaves couldn't have even messed it up.chrisdibs said:
No, his best works are Leaving Las vegas, Raising Arizona (he's good, but the film is just a lot of screaming), Adaptation, Lord of War (a very, very good film), Con Air and Face/Off. Keanu Reaves could mess anything up.popdafoo said:
Woo, my post on "Twilight" has been quoted more than any other post I've ever written. I should take up a job as professional troll!
I would have nominated Greg Kinnear, as I've hated pretty much everything he's been in, but he was probably the best thing about "Mystery Men". Don't agree with Nicholas Cage or Keanu.
Honestly, I really can't think of anybody right now who's that bad in everything they've been in.
BUT WAIT! I feel a winner coming on... QUENTIN TARANTINO. Great director. Utterly lousy actor, and he always burdens himself with the absolute worst lines. The best examples I can think of right now:
- Reservoir Dogs: "Mr Brown? That's like Mr S--t."
- Pulp Fiction: "Do you see a sign that says dead n--ger storage?"
Add to that the "backwash" line from Alias - can't remember it, but it was gross - and pretty much everything he says to the girl in "From Dusk til Dawn". Oh, and in "Desperado" he walks into a bar, tells a p-ss joke, then gets shot in the head. That's his entire function in that movie. I think my point is made!

Anyone involved in CSI:Miami. It's as if the producers said "let's make the scenery the star of the show" and then specifically sought out the worst, most overacting hams just to make sure the scenery wouldn't get upstaged.
Also, Jack Black. Seriously, do we need more movies featuring his immutable "likeable loser manchild who just wants to rock" stereotype character?

I can't put my finger on why I hate him so much, he was good in 8MM though.popdafoo said:

Point Break was good. The Matrix was good. I mean, that doesn't mean his acting wasn't awful but the films were still good.chrisdibs said:
