For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

        Hollywood overuse. “People like him let’s put him in everything!”

        I mean, I blame the audience more than Hollywood, the same reason why we get a lot of reboots and sequels instead of new movies, or the same reason why Netflix account sharing killing strategy worked.

        The dislike shouldn’t be completely headed to the actor nor Hollywood.

        Also you got me thinking, would people that didn’t see him in the older stuff like those you mentioned and are tired of him will roll their eyes if they decide to watch them just now?

        hes also not a nice person irl too. he ranted about not being in leadership roles for different movies, im guessing because he so maga, he loves being masculine roles. Also his controversy with his wife/disabled kids, and a sick pet animal.

          He’s a Republican from WA who makes a very big deal about his Christian Faith.

          He will “pray for you” if you “don’t understand him”, he teamed up with Marky Mark to … promote Lent observance… he has … either previously not been that much of a religious person but then had a literal Come to Jesus moment… or he’s been pretty religious the whole time and was downplaying it in the earlier days of his career.

          https://www.theblaze.com/abide/chris-pratt-reveals-the-deal-he-made-with-god-and-what-hes-doing-for-lent

          He also may or may not have been a congregant at the Hillsong church, which is pretty anti-LGBTQ.

          https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40289867/chris-pratt-interview-new-movies-series/

          Generally speaking, he comes across like you would expect someone to when they’re from an abusive religious family:

          He comes across as basically an insecure, nervous wreck who does not not know how to properly ‘perform’ Christianity for both his family and older friends, as well as the broader and more diverse world… so the result is basically an awkward or maybe ‘quirky’ kind of machismo.

          Dude is your quintessential performative masculine dude bro, a meathead.

          https://www.bjjee.com/bjj-news/actor-chris-pratt-wrestled-10-years-tournaments-josh-barnett/

          His wrestling coach asked him what he wished to do with his life, and Pratt recalled: “I was like, ‘I don’t know, but I know I’ll be famous and I know I’ll make a s- ton of money.’ I had no idea how. I’d done nothing proactive.”

          He’s Joe Rogan, but more Christian, more feckless.

            What’s wrong with promoting the observance of Lent among those that believe in Christianity? Ideally it is supposed to make you think about the value of self sacrifice and appreciate when others have made sacrifices for you.

            He is not part of Hillsong but rather an affiliated church which is also problematic.

              What’s wrong with promoting the observance of Lent among those that believe in Christianity?

              Technically, theoretically, on its own, not much.

              However: Why is this Celebrity telling my kids what they should be doing/thinking? Why is their way of life so important and such a big deal that they need to talk about it openly, all the time?

              (You just play the uno reverse card with everything all the right wing folks say about anything they don’t like coming out of a celebs mouth, when they are gay or lesbian or queer or a different religion or promoting a scam product, etc).

              Now I’m not gonna run around and actually do that, but I do find it kind of weird. I’d expect that message to come from… you know, a church Father, a local Bishop or something?

                Do you have any experience with Christianity? It is by nature evangelical. You are supposed to share your message with others. Different denominations stress this to different degrees

                  Yeah, I was raised by fundamentalist extremists who were really into the militia movement back in the 90s.

                  Had to go no contact with them as they became insane QAnon cultists who illegally mfg full auto capable assault rifles in their garages.

                  I actually did not grow up too far from where Chris did.

                  Lets just say he grew up even further out in the boonies than I did.

    Steven Seagal, he’s complete garbage on every level. He can’t act, he can’t run, he’s a sex trafficker and rapist, and his whole career was started with a bet by producers to make the most incapable and unlikable person famous.

    Also, aikido, he can’t even do a stupid useless fake “martial art” invented to sell to suburbanite children properly.

        I tried to watch that, but…

        Spoiler

        When the plane flies through a mountain of snow, and just continues as normal, I had to shut it off. The shitty dialogue and dumb writing I could somewhat tolerate, but building up to a catastrophic turn of events, just to have the plane made out of fucking unoptanium, or adamantium or some shit is where I draw the line.

        Everyone died on the plane, and the smouldering wreckage is now stuck in a pile of snow on top of a mountain. The end. Movie’s over.

          I watched it purely because I heard how bad it was. It’s full of that kind of crap lol, from the air traffic guy over the radio hitting on the lead out of nowhere, to the plane nosediving for what felt like 5 mins, it’s super ridiculous. Brought to us by Mel Gibson is the funniest part of the whole thing imo.

      Came here for this. Yes, not a good person in real life from what I’ve read.

      Also, terrible, wooden in so many movies. And yet, perfectly played his role in The Departed. So much so that I didn’t think it could be him at first.

        Oh, I hated his role in Blade Runner 2049. Not his acting, just the role. It seemed forcefully implanted in the story to make it more action-filled. I also hated the recreation of young Rachel concept. It made no sense to me and felt like it should make no sense to Decart either. I wish Leto’s role would have been toned down to allow for the film’s meditative and well emotionally built parts to shine.

        Aronofsky movies are hit and miss with me. They can be brilliant like Black Swan or melodramatic nonsense that mistakes dour abjection and misery with plot. I’d rather go with Trainspotting if I want the “drug addict’s hell-ride” story. It comes up to breathe every so often with some levity and heart.

      I liked him in Parks & Rec. But then I found he’s evangelical. That’s a black mark for me, since I managed to escape it. But his apparently sincere faith combined with his dirty sense of humor grates on me. I don’t mind the jokes. It just makes him look like a hypocrite to me.

            Most movies I’ve seen him in he’s done a good job, playing someone comical in the MCU films or someone more serious like in Blade Runner 2049. I don’t think he gets taken seriously because he’s a wrestler, but he’s got a long filmography.
