As i dont know any actors personally - i pretty much have to judge them on their appeal as actors.

i find it impossible to hate someone i dont know. (who isnt a peopdophile or some other scumbag criminal)

with that in mind - i'd have to say the only person who's acting can ruin a movie for me - is Robin Williams.. never found him funny or clever.
I disliked Ryan Reynolds at one point but he's since grown on me.
I dont understand the fuss about angeline jolie - i dont hate her, but i dont like her in movies.

as far as the personal tabloid lives of anyone - i could give a shit. who am i to judge ?
let me know when they start raping people and blowing up countries. then i'll have an opinion.

who's work do i love ?

long list ..

mickey rourke at the top
gene hackman
michael caine
jennifer aniston (shame on you MD - i think she's very engaging :)
early barbra streisand
james woods
christopher walken
denzel


etc etc etc

I dislike stars(until they become character actors) and love character actors(until they become stars).

Just a meager beginning to my list...

Love:

Christopher Walken
Bill Nighy
Bruce Campbell (who doesn't?)
Viggo Mortensen
Sam Neill
Johnny Depp
Bill Mosely
Robert Englund
Nicholas Cage
Kevin Bacon
Kate Beckinsale
Sheri Moon Zombie
Marc Senter (from Jack Ketchum's "The Lost")

I'm not sure who Bill Nighy and Bruce Campbell are. I've probably seen them in some films.

I forgot to add Kevin Bacon to my Like list. I also edited my first post to add others.

OH



MY



GOD!


That's it...You're banned!!!!



HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO BRUCE CAMPBELL IS?!...WHAT KIND OF HORROR FAN ARE YOU?!


*whew*...Glad I got that outta my system...Thought I was gonna blow a gasket or something

:p

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Is she a horror fan at all? So far all of her posts have been un-horror, to say the least.

Bill Nighy is Phil ( the step dad) from Sean of the Dead, as well as Davey Jones from the Pirates of the Carribean movies.

Bruce Campbell is a god. If you have ever seen any of the Evil Dead movies, or Army of Darkness, he plays Ash, the hero in all 3.

If you havent, you are missing a HUGE treat, and i suggest you go out and get Evil dead 1 and 2 right now and watch them. We'll wait.

Ok folks, we arent here to brow-beat but to educate :)

he was amazing in Still Crazy. as an aging rocker.

fantastic movie if you havent seen it ..

Newb - this one would be right up your alley - have you seen it ?

I couldn't contain my outburst...It wasn't even my fault...I'm still reeling from the shock
