A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Rob Schneider is one that I tend to mentally discount and then discover that I like him more than I think I would each time I bump into certain movies. I like Hot Chick and Grown Ups. Though I avoid Deuce Bigalow like the plague (luckily it is very easy to avoid).
I also met him a few years ago at the celebrity softball game during MLB All Star festivities in San Francisco. He was very kind and great with all the fans.
deceptively youthful-looking narcissistic whackjob who built a fake family around himself and cozied up to younger people to maintain his relevance
Bwahaha!

This is very nice to hear, Suzi.
It will not, I fear, shift my aversion, but now I will smile as I speed past any news story or entertainment offering he is in.
I think the only Tom Cruise movie I can watch and still enjoy is Risky Business.
And with Mel Gibson (who I didn't list, but who I also don't watch anymore), I can still watch Chicken Run and Signs (which I have a strange fondness for, and he's very un-Mel Gibson in it).
I don't know why Costner never bothered me. I never followed much about his personal life, and after Waterworld and The Postman, I felt sort of sorry for him. I still love Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Untouchables, and A Perfect World.
I think Chicken Run is the only Gibson thing I can abide - I don't have to look at his face, so it is all good. And I used to adore him, so it really sucks.
Chicken Run is also the only thing I can really watch/listen to Gibson in anymore.
I'm not sure if I can watch Johnny Depp in anything anymore. I want to be able to watch those movies - the first three PotC, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd. But I don't know, and I haven't tried yet.
I can still watch Johnny Depp's early stuff. It seems disconnected from him now? I don't know.
I used to love Braveheart. But between Gibson and the many ways it's been parodied, I don't think I could anymore.
Chocolat!
I'm going to try watching again soon--it's one of my Halloween season movies, and I've not been able to watch it for a while. But I'ma concentrate on Dench and Binoche, Molina and Moss, Stormare, Olin, Caron, and the gorgeous amazing architecture and try and dissociate role from player.
Jennifer Jason Leigh, who is always playing her characters broken soul, no matter who the character is and whether it makes any actual sense to do so.

I'm still able to watch Tim Burton's early work with Depp, and I pretend their recent work is being made by other people with eerily similar names.
