Sandra Bullock

Lately I keep seeing commercials for the new Sandra Bullock movie, Premonition, and although I like psychological thrillers, it looks completely boring. It occurs to me that Sandra Bullock might be the most boring actress in Hollywood. She's cute but not striking, whimsical but not really funny, and pretty much completely bland all around. Although she's reasonably attractive, she seems to be completely asexual - there's just nothing there. Are there any passionate Sandra Bullock fans here? Does such a thing exist?

EDIT: Poll added by popular request - if you vote no, let us know who is more boring.

I don't much care. She just seems like a sweet person, though that's based on only the very little bit I've heard of her.

I did hear something about her making large donations to charities, and she's not one of Hollywood's elite, super-high-paid actresses. She also made an appearance on the William Shatner Roast, and even then she just seemed, almost, compassionate about it. :)

Actually I agree she seems like a really nice, good-humored person. I didn't really mean to suggest otherwise. In fact I suspect she is far less of a pain in the ass in real life than most actresses. I just find her really dull.

Wow, so she's the least interesting person in showbiz because you saw ads for one movie?

Its difficult to argue with complete idiots, so I wont bother.

CYA!

One of the few actresses that actually seems human, even if it serves as a detriment to her career...

I neither said nor implied this was the reason I find her boring. I always have. I've seen several movies featuring Sandra Bullock, but never once found her compelling or persuasive as an actress. I thought that in Crash, in particular, she was more or less completely unbelievable as a bitchy professional wife. The roles in which she works well as an actress are those in which (as in most of her movies) she plays a sweet, good-humored, perky young woman, which I guess is what she is in real life. As I said, she seems like a nice, likable person, but she's a major bore.

I has been suggested on numerous occasions that I need a life, which I assume to mean that I might possibly be a bit boring. But that's fine, more Sandra for me. :D

So far noone has named anyone more boring than Sandra - I'm interested to hear whatever names you can come up with.

She has that "girl next door" quality. Not some raging sexpot, not a beauty queen, just the girl next door...but she's actually NOT BAD looking...

Tea Leoni's role in Flirting With Disaster was 100 times more interesting than anything Sandra Bullock has ever done. Tea is kind of annoying, but I consider her a talented comic actress.

What? You didn't like Speed 2: Cruise Control? :D

I must be one of a dozen people in the entire nation that actually saw that movie in the theater. I am ashamed, truly ashamed :(

:roll:

3 strikes:
-You're threadcrapping
-You're adding nothing to the thread
-You didn't even read it right to call him an idiot

Why is this place so filled with people who feels it's a race to be the biggest prick on here? He's stating an opinion and you call him an idiot. Go back to your cave, troll.


OP, you're right. She is pretty vanilla, but it kinda works for her b/c, IMO, it makes her kinda girl-next-door-ish.

I'd be hard pressed to come up with another one. Although I find Ashley Judd(her movies, anyway) equally boring. But since I think Ashley Judd's hotter, I have to give Bullock the most boring actress award.

Besides Speed, I can't really come up with her signature role. She wasn't that memorable in Speed, either. :(

I don't remember her being part of any controversy. That is a good thing IMO. I voted no. Any publicity is good publicity - too many idiot 'celebrities' have abused that maxim.

And I don't think there is such a thing as a passionate Sandra Bullock fan. She's like...maybe Matt Dillon. A lot of people like them and will buy a ticket to their movies but very few (or none) would call themselves Dillon/Bullock fanatics.
