I avoid movies with Sylvester Stallone. And Tom Hanks = Spielburg is a combination I tend to avoid. Otherwise, there are actors who will get me to see a movie, but not many that actually drive me away from doing so.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom used to be on my list, but somehow I saw and enjoyed Minority Report, and Collateral is waiting to be viewed (but that's me trying to work out if there's a need for Foxx-love, mostly). Michael Douglas is DEFINITELY on my list, and Mel has been for a while, although Lethal Weapon is still a favourite movie.
I like Ben Affleck. Totally unsure why.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kevin Kostner?
No, I take that back - Waterworld and The Postman were both pretty funny....

Actors that I will avoid movies because of:
I only have 2, but they're inviolable -- Jim Carrey and Mel Gibson.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Michael Douglas
The thing is, give the guy a right role, and the dude can act. Much as I hate the whole Fatal Attraction/Disclosure/Basic Instinct skeevy Michael Douglas, I have to say I kind of adored him in Wonder Boys.
My Mel Gilbson dislike is pretty thorough though.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I never got the impression that The Rock buys his own press. He's seemed such a warm and mellow and modest guy in interview, and perfectly willing to shed his WWF persona at the drop of a hat to mock himself.
He is adorable in interviews- very modest and sweet.

I have a plan.
Kevin Kostner?

May I direct your attention towards 'Robin Hood'? Who's only saving grace may have been Alan Rickman but even then. eugh

Kevin Kostner makes me sad, because I loved his character in Silverado.
I enjoy The Rock, and in the one or two interviews I've seen, he seemed like a decent, normal sort who was unfull of himself.
We had a sudden, fierce snow flurry that stuck to the ground a couple of hours ago. Now it's all gone. Weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just read the Playboy interview and he's very funny although less self-effacing there than in live interviews I've seen.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
There are always exceptions
Wonder Boys, Dogma come to mind. I do tend to hate Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner, but the early stuff endears them to me.
