That was actually better than I was expecting. Harrison can still be good, even if he's slumming.

Wrestler should stick to wrestling, yeah they act then but leaving the movies to real actors.
I second the emotion. Nothing against popular music personally, but this should be applied to Rap, Pop, and R&B artists as well. Based upon their popularity, success in the music industry, doesn't mean they maintain the craft and abilitiy to become a professional actor, or actress in motion pictures just because of their name.

Mos Def was terrific in Something the Lord Made and Ludacris was terrific in Crash. Mandy Moore has shown in Entourage and Scrubs that she has a bright future. I think she's a better actress than singer.

Haven't got around to watching that yet, but he was great in The Woodsman.

The only person that comes to mind is Michael Moore, I can't stand that assclown. Which has very little do with his politics, but everything to do with his smug fat arse.

Actually, I'll take that back. I thought he was great in Team America: World Police!

Another vote for Adam Sandler and the Wayans.
Oh, and Tom Cruise.

Most SNL cast members, past and present. Their talent (or lack thereof), let alone humor, simply do not translate into big screen success. Comedies aren't my favorite genre, and most of the ones they're in are really bad.

I'd agree, except for Mike Myers and Will Ferrell.

Rappers (except Marky Mark), Wrestlers, Pop Singers-turned-wannabe actors, and Drew Barrymore.

The list for this would be amazingly long. However there are actors and actresses that i try to avoid, but sometimes they are portraying a character that i am interested in and sometimes they pull it off. But i will still stay away from all their other stuff. Examples are below.

I will never see anything with:

Bette Midler
Barabara Steisand
Tom Hanks (Although i actually like Road to Perdition and though Da Vinci was ok)
Julia Roberts
Kate Hudon
Robin Williams (I like Insomnia a lot....but not really due to him. He was bearable here)
mandy Moore
Cuba Gooding Jnr (Man this guy sucks balls. How the hell did he win an oscar)
Eddie Murphy (I like Trading Places....all downhill from then on though).
Rene Zellwegger (Hate this woman with a passion)
Any actor or actress from either Sex and the City, Friends, Everyone Loves Raymond, Riba, King of Queens......the list of shitty US TV shows could go on...but you get the idea. They all blow.

Also forgot one of my biggest offenders....Amy Phoeler. I used to watch SNL and like it. This bitch just makes me want to smash my TV in though and i never watch the show anymore (not since the likes of Ferrell were on it). This woman is sooooo in love with herself and thinks she is so amazing. When i have been flipping channels and seen SNL she seems to be in every skit. Any movie with her in it is a definite no no for me.

Or "Love and Death" and "Bananas", probably the two funniest movies I have seen. However, humour is more subjective than other emotions, so I can understand people not finding him funny, or even insufferable, in light of his personal life.
