I suspect you're right.
Add Claude Van Damme to that list. ;o)
No kidding.
I love clint. But I refuse to see his "tender" movies. Give me the Eiger Sanction and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly!!!
That one's way off my radar. Trick or Treat? LOL
If that is one of those British period pieces, chances are good I'll never see it! :o)
I cannot tolerate Dustin Hoffman, at least since the Graduate.
I shall give all the credit to you for recognizing such non-talent. ;O)
And Chuck Norris. Though I have a soft spot for him because he's a conservative.
Edward G. Robinson as ??Pharoah?? in, what was it, The Ten Commandments.
A Pharoah with a NY accent and a cigar hanging out his mouth. Yeah, I believed it.
EGR was a pleasure to watch in any movie. Despite the bronx accent and cigar. LOL
No,
it's the exact opposite,
it's a "Hollywood" version of an historical event using up and coming 'younguns' and stars. Hillary swank plays the female lead. She looks all of 12 and is a size 0. It's a joke.
Marie Antionette looks, well, OK, 13 and is mebby a size 2. It was totally embarrassing. Like no one read their history books or looked at any portraits of the royal family.
Mostly, the clothing of the era for the females was meant for a female body that these girls didn't have. So it whole movie looked silly.
Well, Briish or hollywood, I'm definitely not renting it now!!!
Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck in the new Battlestar Galactica. Matt Damon in the "Bourne" movies, Sean Connery in The Avengers, Judi Dench as 'M' in the 007 series, Bruce Willis in The Jackal, anyone crazy enough to star in Napoleon Dynamite (perhaps the worst move ever made).
How Keanu continues to get work baffles me!
I only saw the Batman with Michael Keaton. It was awful.
I like Mel. But even he can't get me to see a chick flick. ANd having Alda in it is further deterent!!
Don't forget the would-be casting blunders... those where Hollywood *wanted* a particular actor for a role, but couldn't get them for it. The one that comes to mind was Hollywood's 1st choice for the Richard Gere role in "An Officer and a Gentleman." They were seeking for the role
none other than
John Denver.
I've only seen the Bond movie with Dench. What a stench!!!
To be fair, I did like him in the first Matrix.
