How can a thread that's ripping people to shreds be 'lighthearted'?

Criticism isn't ripping people to shreds. Do you want to put critics out of work?

Amy Schumer
adam sandler
Kristen stewert
danny dyer
bella thorne
millie bobby brown
Debby Ryan ( the worse female actress for me)

Does Dev in Corrie still sing his lines? Haven't watched it in years.

Jason Momoa - lovely to look at but just plays the same character every time!

Harrison Ford - could be substituted with a cardboard cut out and you wouldn’t notice

Ryan Reynolds. He plays himself in everything. That's not acting.

Yes!

There’s one ‘actor’ that has zero talent. He plays the same character in every program. He is English with a cockney accent, dark curly hair (not Danny Dyer). He seems to appear in lots of cop programs. Can’t remember his name, but his acting is bloody awful 😒

Daniel Mays. I think he's good

Lostinplaces · 04/08/2023 20:04

Daniel Radcliffe in every single Harry Potter film.

TheMarzipanDildo · 04/08/2023 20:06

Kristen Stewart wasn’t brilliant in twilight (understatement) but is a perfectly good actor in everything else I’ve seen her in since.

PutinSmellsPassItOn · 04/08/2023 20:07

The guy who plays Dev in Corrie is horrendous, he's so hammy it's unbelievable. I do think it makes him very likeable tho for some reason 🤣🤣🤣

Bazinga007 · 04/08/2023 20:09

Sean Connery, same I every film, can't do accents.

Danny Dyer. One face. One mode. Awful.

Couldn't agree more!!

His accent in the Untouchables was particularly awful 🫣

Lilibert456 · 04/08/2023 20:19

Danny Dyer.

Blackbyrd · 04/08/2023 20:19

Do you think that they'll ever remake the Harry Potter films? Some of them are completely ruined by the three woodentops abysmal acting and they are certainly very dated, special effects wise

YumLemonCheesecake · 04/08/2023 20:19

Keira Knightley - argh

LadyKenya · 04/08/2023 20:19

Tom Hanks does not belong here imo. Runs away....

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 04/08/2023 20:20

I agree about Tom Hanks.

Orlando Bloom in LoTR. Captain cardboard

Totally agree. His - “a diversion” line is so flat I cringe but also have to rewind and laugh again it’s that bad.

They’re doing a tv version

Disagree about Keira. She gets a hard time because she’s so petite/pretty. She’s been great in a few films

No, she gets parts BECAUSE she's seen as petite/pretty. Not because of her acting skills, which are extremely limited.

BeyondMyWits · 04/08/2023 20:27

Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller
...interchangeable

LadyKenya · 04/08/2023 20:27

Yes, he is a really good actor. I really felt it when he lost Wilson in Castaway@BigMandsTattooPortfolio , and that is saying something. I am very non emotional😁.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 04/08/2023 20:28

Ooo, I loved that film.

❤️Tom Hanks ❤️

Duckduckie · 04/08/2023 20:28

I want to like Emma Watson but I’m always distracted by her eyebrows in the Harry Potter movies, she wiggles them up and down

She was decent in The Dutchess, Atonement and The Imitation Game.
