I hate will Farrel too. But every time I watch his movies I always laugh like crazy.

And Steve Carell....not the most fond of him either. But I saw his movie "Dan in Real Life" and that was an awesome movie.

I also hate Dane Cook as a comedian. Can't stand him. But I seem to really like his movies as an Actor.

Will Farrel and Steve Carell can both get to a place where I can't stand watching any longer...

Will Farrel, what comes to mind is Step-Brothers... that movie took 3 attempts and it was rough-going...

I like The Office, but my favorite people are Jim & Pam.... Some of the Michael scenes are just too much... I wish he'd leave the show, and it would continue without him. Dwight in his position would be funny.
 
Tom Green

Use to have Leonardo Dicaprio on that list, but now he's in my 'almost must watch' list.

Let me rephrase that.

I wish that The Office could survive without Steve Carell. And if it could, I wish he would leave the show.

I know that it wouldn't survive without him, I just wish it wasn't that way.
 
-Will Ferrel.
He's ok when one of the side character with just a few good lines. If he's the hero then he'll ruin the whole movie.
Same with Jack Black.

-Ben Stiller. Something about Mary was alright, but it goes downhill after that. He's better when he introduces a little comedy into an otherwise good movie (Keeping the Faith). But if goes over the top ridiculous he just fucks it up (everything else). He doesnt have that skill like some other comedians. Same with Adam Sandler. He did 1 or 2 good films and everything else was so crazy it stopped being funny.

-Actually, almost any SNL regular who struck out on his own. Most of them made crappy movies. Tina Fey is the only one I like. Rob Schneider is another offender. And Mike Meyers only made a handful of decent flicks.

-Steven Segal and Jean Claude. They made a couple of halfway decent action flicks and everything else was SHIT! They should have stopped in the mid 90's.

-Tom Green.
I dont even think I need to explain this.

-Jason Statham.
He was awesome with Guy Pierce in England, but since coming to the U.S. he's made ridiculous shit. I tired of him after recently watching Crank and Crank 2. And he did not impress me with Death Race.

-Oh, and pretty much any rapper (black or white) who decides he should be in movies. THEY CANT FUCKING ACT! And they arent badass, they just think they're badass, up until they meet a genuine badass. The only exception is Mark Whalberg, who was a shitty musician and just found his real calling as an actor.

Travolta. The only movie he is in that I really like is Pulp Fiction, and that part was written for Michael Madsen.

It was not written FOR Michael Madsen, he was just the first choice. And in the end Tarantino was happy to switch to John Travolta.

Also, I recommend you watch Primary Colors. It will remind you Travolta CAN act, provided he has a good director leading him.

I don't care if he can act or not, he's like Tom Cruise, I just don't care for him.

And from IMDB: "The role of Vincent Vega was written for Michael Madsen, who played the character's brother, Vic Vega, in Reservoir Dogs (1992), but he couldn't do the film due to scheduling conflicts for another film."

I do agree with this, but one additional exception I'll add is Mos Def. I've been impressed with him in the few movies I've seen him in.
 
Just watched Year One - a movie set in Biblical times. Michael Cera is in it. Guess what kind of character he plays?

you guessed it! the same fucking character he plays in every fucking movie he is in!

You're being sarcastic right? I can't tell because I have only seen 3 of those movies you listed and thought he was good in all of them, so maybe all the others were garbage? (I saw Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas, and Fast Times..). He was also great in Face Off and Con Air. CON AIR ROCKED.

I like Nicolas Cage. Most of his movies are good. The one about the end of the world sucked though.
