I watch: movies played by anyone I want to bonk
I don't watch: movies played by people I don't want to bonk

There are really no movie stars that I really want to 'bonk' right now. Well, maybe Hayden Christenson. And maybe James Marsden, but I haven't decided.

My biggest pet peeve actor is Eddie Murphy. He needs to 'brush that dirt off his shoulder'. Damn what an attitude. And he can be good, but most of his films are crap.

Jim Carrey is another one. He used to be funny. Now he is just a pain. Oh..and Chris Tucker. That voice, horrible.

Actresses: This is not because they are bad, but the type of films they make: Daine Keaton, Mandy Moore, Lindsy Lohan (but I liked 'Mean Girls'), Julia Roberts, Brittany Murphy, ( I loved Sin City but she was the worst actor in it. That voice grates on my nerve endings).

More about who i like later, gotta go.

He was really sexy in Factory Girl. I had never seen him in that light before. Now I want to bonk!

^^^Really? I was so annoyed by him in that movie. I don't know why, but he annoys me every time I see him on screen.

To everyone who avoids Angelina Jolie, she really can act sometimes! A Mighty Heart was pretty powerful, but I agree that she spends a lot of films prancing around as the female Nicolas Cage. But back in the Gia days, I thought she was tres cool.

My AVOID: Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba, Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Renee Zelweger, Vince Vaughn, Hayden Christianson, Chris Tucker, Sienna Miller

The people who could convince me to watch almost anything include: Kate Winslet (but not Life of David Gale...oh, Kate, how could you?), Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman (I've watched some crap movies because of those last two as well, but NO regrets! heh), Cillian Murphy, Kelly MacDonald, Cate Blanchett, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Cheung, Famke Janssen, Ellen Page, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Tommy Lee Jones, and BEST of all, Ben Foster

I really can't see that I've ever gone to a movie specifically because of an actor/actress but I sure as hell have avoided them for same reason.

My shitlist:

1. Anyone who came to fame via Saturday Night Live this side of 1990. Will Ferrell, can we trade you for John Belushi please?

2. Any of the action star meat heads in the last twenty years, especially when the movie ISN'T an action flick. Seriously, did anyone out there actually like The Pacifier?

3. Anyone who's previous career was in football or pro wrestling. Uhh, Rock, Stone Cold, go back to your day jobs.

4. Anyone who has kept their name in the gossip columns due to their neurotic behavior. Uhh, thanks, Tom "I'm going to eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm going to eat the cord and the placenta right there." Cruise, now I can't enjoy Minority Report or Risky Business anymore without throwing up.

Run away from.........
Any musicians turned actor
Adam Sandler ( What is it that people like? the lovable idiot?)
Will Ferrel ( irritating at best)
Woody Harrelson ( supports the ruckus society, so I don't support woody)
Pam Anderson (modeling ok, anything talking bad)

Run to......................
I myself am more interested in what the movie is about than , who is in it.

I have watched movies jsut because someone was in it. I sat through Gia, just for some naked angelina Jolie. This is unusual for me though. I am more likely to see a crap movie with friends; just to sit and heckle the bad spectacle.

i wont watch it if it has tom cruise or jlo.

There seems to be a lot of anti- Tom Cruise people on SW. While I'm not a big fan of his, I enjoyed "Topgun", "Rainman", "A Few Good Men", "The Last Samurai" ,etc. Watched those several times at theater and/or cable. I'm mainly actor/actress neutral.

Just curious if anti TC people are that way because of movie genre, his on screen performance, or off- screen behavior?

No Angelina "Slap That Stupid Fucking Smirk Off Your Face, Bitch" Jolie or Tom "eat the placenta" cruise as well. Basically because they annoy the shit outta me and just looking at them pisses me off.

My number one fave to watch is Jessica Simpson. Its like unintentional comedy with all her bad acting.

Yea, Angelina may be talented and all, but after I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith.....ugh nothing but a vanity fest, I hated it. Shortly after that she got to 98 pounds and is still doing "power chic action chic badass chic" films, which I have zero respect for.





I get the OP's point.....there are some actors that no matter what, you won't be disappointed by the film.....

Joseph Gordon-Levitt used to be that for me but his last one sucked.

If its a 70's movie about women in prison with Pam Grier, I'm all about it!

Edward Norton. I watched "The Painted Veil" for Ed Norton. (It was not the most interesting movie...) I also give special consideration to Gerard Butler and Robert Redford.

I agree I will watch ANYTHING with Edward Norton!!! Even that horrible movie he made with Ben Stiller where he was a priest and Ben Stiller was a Rabbi. I LOVE that man. He is supposed to be in new version on the hulk coming out pretty soon. He is such a good actor and makes me drool ;D ! I also agree with Pretty Penny and will watch anything with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I also enjoy me some Joaquin Phoenix.
I love Kate Beckinsale I think she is so sexy and will watch any of her movies. I also love Monica Bellucci.

I would watch Chris Cooper watching paint dry. I love that dude- intensity!... Denzel Washington, and Edward James Olmos. All fine actors.

Worst- Anne Heche, bad actress and froot loop (Time bore it out.) I also walked out of Jennifer Lopez's "Maid in Manhattan." Among many problems with the film...they couldn't find an actress of Mexican descent to play a Mexican-American maid. WTF???

Clive Owen makes me want to watch movies, primarily so I can think about him doing me.

The only movies I go to see just because of the actor is Will Smith. I can't think of anything I haven't enjoyed by him. And now his son. That little boy is not only adorable, but a damn good actor!

Not weird-he's totally cute. He's just not in everyone's face like a lot of hot action movie guys.



Elizabeth Berkley ( She turned Show Girls in to a comedy)

Haha-it hardly needed help either! She hasn't been in much since, has she?
