Fill in the blank: You know a movie will be bad when ______ is in it.

There's always some movies you know are going to be bad just because of the casting choices.

For example, any movie with Dolph Lundgren or Corbin Bernsen, you know is going to be some crappy low-budget piece of crap. I'd almost think they'd be better off getting an unknown to be in the movie as at least for me, those 2 names are synonymous with garbage.

That's a bit harsh. I'm sure you've done good work on a few films.

and my own choice would be Madonna.

Any Saturday Night Live alumnus that's still alive.

Eric Roberts? Ever heard of a little gem named The Pope of Greenwich Village? Even Daryl Hannah couldn't screw that one up...

Except, never underestimate the power of Parker Posey. The House of Yes was a fantastic film and it even had Tori Spelling in it!

BTW I would also like to defend Madonna with Evita, Desperately Seeking Susan and Dick Tracy


WITHOUT exception though - Ashton Kutcher

And how about Star 80, winner of the BSFC Award for Best Actor and Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor. Also, Runaway Train, nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Although anything after '85 or so has been suckeke.
