i'd guess a lot of WWE work is under appreciated. They have to improv many of their lines, they do all their own stunts and everything is done in one take.

People keep hiring Uma Therman and I dont' know why. Especially when they hire her for the role of "Hot Female Lead". Sorry but, "Woof".

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Sean Bean is pretty over rated, the guy almost never finishes a show...

:colbert:

I think Leonardo has become very good over time, personally.

Hunger Games aren't really special... Silver Linings Playbook is. Pretty good in American Hustle but too little screen time. House at the End of the Street, I can't believe she signed up for that, but she was an unknown then. X-Men: First Class, not that special, somewhat better in Days of Future Past. Really, Silver Linings Playbook is plain amazing though.

...and the laughable to mediocre results still fail to impress/entertain anyone who isn't a child or man-child.

Promo pic is HEAVILY airbrushed and the dancing part is a body double. Her face is just, ick.

Leonardo is fine I guess as long as you need him to continuously play the same person movie after movie. Seriously I've never seen him 'act', he plays the same Bwoston character in every movie.

Angelina Jolie

All of her movies - she plays herself. "Look at me! I'm me! See my big puffy carp lips and big boobs? I'm going to adopt another foreign kid, because I need to have another photo-op and for everyone to tell me what an awesome mother I am."

Yup. That was pretty cringeworthy.

OK we get you do not like him, I didn't myself at one time.

Wish I was doing as well.

"Leonardo took up a diverse range of roles in the early 1990s, including a mentally challenged youth in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), a young gunslinger in The Quick and the Dead (1995) and a drug addict in one of his most challenging roles to date, "Jim Carroll", in The Basketball Diaries (1995), a role which the late River Phoenix originally expressed interest in. While these diverse roles helped establish Leonardo's reputation as an actor, it wasn't until his role as "Romeo" in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) that Leonardo became a household name, a true movie star. The following year, DiCaprio starred in another movie about doomed lovers, Titanic (1997), which went on to beat all box office records held before then, as, at the time, Titanic (1997) became the highest grossing movie of all time, and cemented DiCaprio's reputation as a teen heartthrob. Following his work on Titanic (1997), DiCaprio kept a low profile for a number of years, with roles in The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) and the low-budget The Beach (2000) being some of his few notable roles during this period.

In 2002, he burst back into screens throughout the world with leading roles in Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Gangs of New York (2002), his first of many collaborations with director Martin Scorsese. With a current salary of $20 million a movie, DiCaprio is now one of the biggest movie stars in the world. However, he has not limited his professional career to just acting in movies, as DiCaprio is a committed environmentalist, who is actively involved in many environmental causes, and his commitment to this issue led to his involvement in The 11th Hour, a documentary movie about the state of the natural environment. As someone who has gone from bit parts in television commercials to one of the most respected actors in the world, DiCaprio has had one of the most diverse careers in cinema. DiCaprio continued to defy conventions about the types of roles he would accept, and with his career now seeing him leading all-star casts in action thrillers such as The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010) and Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010), DiCaprio continues to wow audiences by refusing to conform to any cliché about actors.

In 2012, he played a mustache-twirling villain in Django Unchained (2012), and then tragic literary character Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby (2013)."

I'd agree with that call, though.

Is that because Krio is cringeworthy or because he speaks Krio in a cringeworthy "Bwoston" manner? How familiar with Krio are you? :colbert:

The character and actor flips it off like a light switch and reverts to an Afrikaans-English accent when talking to other characters, which is very impressive considering that the actor naturally speaks with an American-English accent.

Sorry, but you're flat-out wrong about him always playing the same "Bwoston" character.

Totally agree. Hunger Games, meh, but Silver Linings Playbook was a home run. She was pretty good in American Hustle, I'm pretty sure Amy Adam's cleavage had more screen time.

Let's see how good Leo's acting is after getting slammed to the canvas and whacked with a chair


heck, we could just skip the whole acting part and just watch him get slammed to the canvas and whacked with a chair . . .

Is that what makes it watchable when the regulars do it? Don't answer that.
