Passable performance from an actor you hate.
Is there at least a tolerable performance from an actor you generally dislike?
Mine is Mark Ruffalo in Zodiac. There's something about Mark I don't like, but he was great in Zodiac. |

Re: Passable performance from an actor you hate.
Vin Diesel - Pitch Black
Mathew McConaughey - A Time to Kill Keanu Reeves - The Matrix Demi Moore - Striptease (I think it's pretty obvious why) Kate Winslet - Heavenly Creatures |
Re: Passable performance from an actor you hate.
Sorry, but Moore is terrible in Striptease. That lady can't move.
|
Re: Passable performance from an actor you hate.
I have no interest in the way Demi moves.
|
Re: Passable performance from an actor you hate.
Again hate is a strong word but Ewan McGregor in I Love You Phillip Morris springs to mind, as does Clive Owen in Trust. Also Scarlett Johansson in Lost In Translation - she deserved an Oscar nom for that role, but when I see her elsewhere, it's usually not great.
|
Yes, but she doesn't look that good either. There are few things I find less sexy that someone trying to be sexy and failing.

I actually meant Demi Moore in Striptease. However, I don't find SJ particularly attractive either. Well, except in this pic.
http://www.biographycelebs.com/wp-co...-Wallpaper.jpg http://baphonico.com/wp-content/uplo...-johansson.jpg This is the best picture of her as a redhead that I could find. However, even as a redhead she doesn't really do it for me. :shrug: |
Re: Passable performance from an actor you hate.
:up: for the top pic.

But she was passable. I'll give her that. ;) |

The main problem I have with this thread is that I can't actually think of a 'TERRIBLE' actor who has just done a 'passable' performance, so i've kinda took it upon myself to reinterpret it as 'an actor you don't like much who put on a performance you actually cared about/enjoyed'. I agree with you that Winslet is a great actress. My problem is she's too good. Her performances are too careful, too strong. I know it's a really weird thing to say and I can understand that it may raise some eyebrows, but there is nothing surprising about Winsley other than she's a damn good actor. She's never edgy and she never really does much outside of strong dramatic award winning roles and that kinda puts me off her. I dunno, it's hard to explain. |
Re: Passable performance from an actor you hate.
I dislike Russell Crowe quite a bit, but he was great in L.A Confidential & Cinderella Man.
