Are you me? I hate that I don’t like looking at her, but her face looks like it’s melting


Katie is such a bad actress though. I can binge on the Dark Knight and the sequel 3-4x a year, but can’t even watch Batman Begins because of her.


+1. Katie is a terrible actress. She was ok in Dawson’s creek but that’s because she was basically playing a smarter version of herself.

I get that people have strong feelings about her, but she was adorable in the Princess Diaries movies

And I liked her in Devil Wears Prada


I thought she was fabulous in Les Miz and Interstellar.

I don’t understand the hatred people have towards her either. Good actress and fairly quiet about her personal life.


Honestly, sexism.

She can rub people the wrong way, which is an unforgivable sin in a woman.

Give me a break. yes, all women face sexism, but I also dislike Nick Cage and Matthew Mcconaughey and Russell Crowe also ruins everything he's in. Nobody is for everybody. Anne Hathaway is not for me.


So Cage, Mcconaughey, and Crowe. They’ve had some great roles and some awful ones. I found McConaughey in Dazed and Confused, Lincoln Lawyer, Contact, and Dallas Buyers Cub to be spot on. Cage in Moonstruck, Peggy Sue, and Raising Arizona was spot on. Crowe in Gladiator also. Crowe in the Mummy remake not so much … Cage in Kick Ass not so much. In other words, as they get older they start mailing in their performances.


Nah I liked Cage in Kickass. Jim Carrey in the second Kickass, not so much.

And WTF about Jack? He was BRILLIANT in that role.


Well, I used to think that but it was on tv the other day and I watched some of it. It was not good. Way over the top and corny and not believable. Anyhow, Jack’s bad day acting is many other’s good day, but I found it not good. Like he was mailing it in. Just my opinion.

Wow, another thread with someone dissing Jack Black. Jack Black was perfect in The Holiday I love to watch Jack Black. He seems to have a vibrant energy that radiates all around him. He has beautiful expressive dark eyes. Catch his childhood Pitfall commercial.

She was great as the clueless narcissist suburban mom on Weeds but her vacant thing just did not work in the west wing role. I worked at a feminist organization for years and knew no one like that. Could have been a great role is it had been played by someone more like Allison Janney that could really bring the sharp strong vibe. Also I never felt like she had any chemistry with josh but I know that’s hard to cast for. I don’t know if they originally intended him to end up with his secretary or whether they just had such good chemistry that the writers did that.


Yes, I hated her in that role. That whiny voice and affect.


Yep, MLP was so irritating in that role. Don’t even get me started on Mandy. Moira Kelly wasn’t great in One Tree Hill, either, and it’s not like her castmates were so hot in comparison.

Casting all non Americans as the Little Women. Offensive, really. Emma Watson was truly awful.
