At least vaguely well-known actors that have never been in anything good ever. FITE

nongendered use of actor etc. current man to beat is shia leboeuf

shia was on freaks & geeks!

and he's gonna be in john hillcoat's next movie

ah crap.

ok now that i just imdbed him, i might be able to make a strong case for paul giamatti

what does anyone think about the movies that (ultra-hot) Elisha Cuthbert finds herself in?

xp I liked American Splendor alright...

Giamatti was in "NYPD Blue" and "Homicide", also I like "Sideways"

the answer to this is going to be the hot new young actor d'jour, aka ALEX PETTYFER

ooooh Elisha Cuthbert is a very good answer to this, she is terrible even in the good seasons of "24"

Antonio Banderas

Giamatti was Pig Vomit in "Private Parts" therefore he escapes.

WAIT

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD

LOCK THREAD

Giamatti also in "Safe Men" which is hilarious

Kate Hudson?

Jessica Alba? oh wait, I see on imdb that she was in Camp Nowhere.

WAIT

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD

LOCK THREAD

Just checked and that's a pretty dire list.

Megan Fox is consistently shitty

Shia is the ultimate answer to this though. I think Spielberg just decreed he was going to be a star so it happened. Even though no one actually likes him

Megan Fox was in "Jennifer's Body", which was surprisingly entertaining

favorite Jessica Alba movie is Camp Nowhere, w/o doubt, but I liked her somewhat in Idle Hands too

never saw "Jennifer's Body"

I vote for Ashton Kutcher

Sam Worthington is thanking his lucky stars that "Avatar" worked, otherwise he'd be another leading candidate for this thread

can't believe there's going to be a sequel for his shitty "Clash of the Titans" remake

whoa bryce dallas howard is pretty unbeatable actually

except i dont actually know who she is so

re: BDH, Manderlay was hilarious

Actually yeah, Worthington is another guy who was suddenly being cast in every blockbuster going without actually building up any popularity

except i dont actually know who she is so

she is basically Scarlet Johanssen without the personality or the enormous johanssens

ok now that i just imdbed him, i might be able to make a strong case for paul giamatti

I liked John Adams.

C'mon, Scarlett doesn't have a personality

Josh Hartnett

I thought Bryce Dallas Howard was great as the Redheaded Girl in Audience in Parenthood

that weird Finnish guy who eat's skipper's pipes

maybe I'm crazy, but BDH kind of looks like V in this photo:

mena suvari

What was it that BDH played blind in? I can't remember but after that I always think that she actually is blind.

The Village?

Gerard Butler

Josh Hartnet - wasn't he in the one with the vampires in Alaska? That was sort of not awful.

Was it the Village? lol Yeah, it was.

C'mon, Scarlett doesn't have a personality

this should underscore the magnitude of my comparison to BDH

I may give her a break because she's got a great ass.

Butler's pretty bad, yeah.

Gerard Butler: I liked "300" but that awful thing he did with Jennifer Aniston may cancel it out completely. I also liked the Tomb Raider sequel, though. Not gonna go to the mat for this one.

Josh Hartnett: Not only was "30 Days of Night" surprisingly enjoyable, but I also liked "Sin City". But then again, "Pearl Harbor".

Not only has Butler never been in anything good but he is just an incredibly unappealing actor

Taylor Lautner

Mena Suvari: I haven't rewatched either but, at the time, I really liked "American Pie" and "American Beauty".

Josh Hartnet was in the Virgin Suicides, which I actually thought was decent...

Gerard Butler

I know what the risks are in admitting that I liked Gamer, but I've been here for about five years, and I'm at a time in my life where being banned would probably not be the worst thing for me.

Taylor Lautner is in all of the worst movies.

Is Rob Schneider well-known enough to count?

Gamer is the greatest movie ever

did anyone see Lautner's breakthrough performance in "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D"? me either

i think i liked the aviator but mainly coz kate was double-hot in it

Thread totally worth it just for that clip of Torque. OMG! Ice Cube "fuck the police" oh Ice..

Summer of Sam = Adrien Brody with a mohawk, super hot.

oops x-post

I GOT IT!

because we had been talking about how much work she had done

do keep up

hey what abt kate beckinsale (ducks)

SHE'S HAD WORK DONE.

It disturbed me when I read that Dane Cook was nearly cast as Jeff Winger on Community, he would have ruined it.

pretty sure that didn't happen, iirc it was more that that pilot season the 2 people NBC was really hot on having headline a new sitcom were Cook and McHale, but ultimately they decided to focus on McHale

thank god

Would pay to see McHale ingest Cook whole like a killer python

^^^ this is a porno

Leonard Part 6 (1987) .... Leonard Parker
The Devil and Max Devlin (1981) .... Barney Satin

Uptown Saturday Night (1974) .... Wardell Franklin
Hickey & Boggs (1972) .... Al Hickey (written by walter hill, might be good, i dunno)
Man and Boy (1971) .... Caleb Revers

mother, jugs & speed is awesome

Bill Cosby: Himself is even better

well, plus, if you count t.v. then the cos is cool. though i also like motherjugsspeed too. mostly for the jugs.

and i like uptown saturday night too.

how can you not like summer of sam? such a cool movie.

i vote for catherine zeta jones. though i never saw chicago. not a fan of high fidelity. hated traffic. was in a cohen brothers movie that i didn't like. even the high concept stuff she's been in has been blah like the phantom and zorro. she made like ten movies before the phantom that i've never seen so maybe those are all great.

boy, CZJ is a tough one. her easiest movie to defend is probably billy zane's THE PHANTOM.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1336608/

what the fuck is this

elisha cuthbert is good on that Happy Endings show which I finally watched last night (and which is probably getting cancelled something)

zeta jones is great in the surprisingly great america's sweethearts

she isn't and it isn't

rong

isnt?

darra do you travel a lot by plane or have a shitty video store or

Dane Cook was really good in that Kevin Costner pottery killer movie!
Like Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest.

I liked Mr. Brooks but was happy when Dane got plugged

I thought we as the audience were meant to rejoice in his passing?

I thought him peeing himself in the closing sequence was unnecessary to show

Slate examines Rotten Tomatoes data.

Worst Actor: Chuck Norris. Appearing in one bad film is a mistake. Appearing in dozens of bad films is a deliberate choice. Thanks to movies like The Delta Force (20 percent), Missing in Action (23 percent), and Top Dog (0 percent), Norris tops—or, as it were, bottoms—the list of worst-reviewed actors, with an average score of 18.4 since 1985. If you count only actors who have made at least 20 movies since 1985, the Worst Actor award goes to Eddie Griffin, with an average rating of 24.1 percent.

Worst Actress: Jennifer Love Hewitt. Hewitt has the rare distinction of never having made a single "fresh" (above 60 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) film. Her average score of 18.9 owes to such duds as Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (7 percent), I Know What You Did Last Summer (35 percent), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (7 percent), and both Garfield movies (15 percent and 11 percent, respectively). If you count only actresses who have made at least 20 movies since 1985, the Worst Actress award goes to Mena Suvari, with an average rating of 32.7 percent.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was in Can't Hardly Wait which rules. FUIUD.

At my first job (a warehouse gig with 100% good-ol-boy coworkers), the closest I ever got to getting my ass kicked was when I dissed Chuck Norris.

my wife made me finally watch Can't Hardly Wait last month and if you removed the Seth Green-Lauren Ambrose part that movie would be hell.

i know what you did last summer + i still know what you did last summer were both phenomenal!! pssssh

ok it wouldn't be hell but it would exceptionally mediocre even for a '90s teen ensemble movie

Well I haven't seen it in years and the Green-Ambrose storyline is definitely the best but I remember other parts being good too. Of course, this could be because I used to be a little in love with Ethan Embry and that was pretty much the last thing he didn't look like hell in.

Really, I shouldn't rip on Can't Hardly Wait on a thread where people are defending Mr. Brooks. WTF.

lol

Only good thing about Mr. Brooks is how any time someone said "Mr. Brooks" I'd imagine someone repeating it like "Mr. X" in Arrested Development

apparently Natalie Portmanteau

x-post I haven't seen it but I'm all for something that you think means you shouldn't talk smack about CHW.

thanking u thread, my little sisters are in love with adam scott so we are going to watch TORQUE tonight. if that clip upthread is anything to go by, they might not be in love with him after it.
