Who is on your movie Will Not See list?

[thewayne]

(rehashed from a reply that I did earlier today)

My WLS list is largely the following:

Tom Cruise (not playing with a full set of oars in the belfry)
Jim Carrey (I don't like his 'rubber face' comedies, loved Me, Myself & Irene and liked Liar, Liar)
Chris Farley (don't have to worry about new flics from him, I don't care for angry comedy)
David Spade
Hugh Grant (though I love Love Actually)
Paris Hilton and her ilk (famous for being famous) are on it, not that she's likely to make anything that I'll be interested in seeing.

I'm pretty flexible (or easy) when it comes to movies. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Jack Black, as I don't think I can name anything of his that I've seen aside from KFP and King Kong, but he's growing on me. Sandler? He was on my WNS list as he was constantly rehashing his angry hick character, or so it seemed to me. I still haven't seen Zohan yet, hope to see it this afternoon, but he seems to be moving away from that, and the idea intrigues me.

Yeah, I don't much care for Cruise, and I find myself generally disgusted by Farley and Hilton. It'd take a LOT to get me to see a movie one of them is in.

I have to agree that Sandler's kinda hit-or-miss. He's not on the permanently banned list for me yet, but he's definitely flagged for it.

Jack Black does rock. I'm surprised you didn't list High Fidelity as one of the ones you've seen. IMO, it's the best performance he's turned out to date. I'd very highly recommend it, as it's also one of John Cusack's best...again IMO.

I don't know that I've seen a lot of John Cusack, but for me, Grosse Point Blank wins as best, hands down. I've seen part of High Fidelity, but I've never seen it all the way through.

Grosse Point Blank was also really good. I would guess you'd also really like High Fidelity, especially as there's a bit more depth and humanity to his character.
