Buffy @ 8/2/2018 13:24 I have a rational hatred for a few actors and won't watch their movies. Examples

Hillary Duff
Dwayne Johnson
Jean Claude Van Damme
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sylvester Stallone
Nicholas Cage
Faye Dunaway
Anna Kendrick

And "hate" is strong and I was exaggerating but for some of the above it's the type of movie they do and doesn't necessarily apply to past movies. Like, I liked the Terminator movies but I probably wouldn't watch anything current that Arnold is in. I don't ever like the kind of movies Dwayne Johnson is in so I wouldn't watch them, etc. I liked Pitch Perfect but I'm sick of seeing Anna Kendrick cast so I'd tend not to want to watch a movie of hers, etc.

I have a rational hatred for a few actors and won't watch their movies.

Yeah- I have a mental system where certain actors can weigh something down and need offsetting effects or other actors to overcome it. For example:

Tom Cruise: Pretty much turns me off to whatever he is in. I'm a Philip K. Dick fan and like Colin Farrell, but those things still aren't enough to get me to watch Minority Report.

Brad Pitt: I feel like he mostly plays a dream version of Brad Pitt. The few that I see from him I never really feel were worth wasting time watching, other than 12 Monkeys. Inglorious Bastards ended up fairly meh to me. I also am probably against the grain in that I don't jizz all over myself when Fight Club comes on.

Leonerdo DeCrapio: Last movie I watched took Tarantino to overcome this effect, and I still think Django is pretty overrated.

Bruce Willis: Again, I feel like he's just playing his dream version of himself anymore. 12 Monkeys was lucky it had Terry Gilliam, because it had to overcome the Pitt *and* Willis effects.

Kevin Costner: Let me know if he's ever not the hero boy in a movie. Maybe then I'll consider it. Maybe.

Ben Afflack/Matt Damon: Yeah.

I have a ton more, but these were the first ones that came to me. Ethan Hawke I'm giving more of a chance now (watched him in the Chet Baker bio) andf I might finally go back and give Gattaca a watch.

JJ you should watch 50/50 if you haven’t

Vlady you should finally suck it up and watch Minority Report because it’s great. Or Wolf of Walstreet or Burn After Reading for much different Pitt/Leo

Also Kevin Costner was most definitely not the hero boy in Mr Brooks but it’s a bad movie so don’t bother

Shutter Island was really good as well.

Those are your homework assignments

Chop chop!

I liked Gattaca

I've read the original story for Minority Report so I'm good there.

I've *almost* watched Elysium because Blomkamp but Matt Damon.

It has some fun ideas but it’s pretty average

Then I don't feel bad on passing on it over and over.

Tragedy Girls.

Meh.

Ingrid Goes West rly fun movie, enjoyed it a lot. The main characters were all good but O'Shea Jackson Jr came out of nowhere and stole the movie, he was hilarious

God. Cringe: The Movie. It was so uncomfortable but I liked it a lot. Ingrid at the start was horribly accurate. She got exaggerated as it went but man, those cringey comments on strangers' social media posts were so accurate and sad

Agreed on Jackson, he was really likable. Aubrey Plaza was so good in this

Movie reminded me of Nosebleed at times

Only because it was on tv last week, I watched Tammy. It was an amusing enough way to pass an evening, but I wouldn't watch it again.
