I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are you ready to be strong?
Richard Dreyfuss. I refuse to see anything with Richard Dreyfuss. Luckily there isn't much like that anymore.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pacino? Pah. Plays himself in every role.
Two words. Donnie Brasco.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I've been known to avoid Jim Carrey movies, unless I hear that "it's not a normal Jim Carrey movie". I.e., he is not allowed to traipse around mugging for the camera in unbelieveably irritating fashion. Actually I can only think of one movie in which he successfully avoided mugging throughout. (And it's only one of two movies of his I've watched all the way through.)

True, but so much of my seething hatred of Costner and Gibson has to do with their conviction that they should write and/or direct.
Add Hanks to that list. In love with their own mythos, or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm kinda glad someone hates Sandra Bullock.
I don't. I love her. But part of me is ashamed of that, and that part feels validated by Megan's post.

I honestly can't say I've ever seen a movie where it's made any different whether or not Sandra Bullock was in the role. Decent actor, pretty, but not worth seeking out or avoiding.

I have a hard time imagining someone else in Miss Congeniality, mainly because I think she has a gift for cleaning up well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There aren't any actors that woud absolutely make me not see a movie, though there are several that make me think "ugh, not him/her again." Mel Gibson and Michael Douglas probably come closest, though I liked the Lethal weapon movies and Wonder Boys.
