Jesse Eisenberg. His brand of arrogance goes beyond bothering me into legitimately offending me. The fact that he had the nerve to go to Comic-Con and compare it to genocide sealed his fate on my permanent shit list. He's just so determined to let the cool kids know that he's not some lame nerd that he goes out of his way to alienate everyone there. Until Michael Cera dies, we don't need another typecast awkward actor. GTFO asshole.
Denzel Washington. Why do people love him so much? His acting consists of putting on a slick face, giving a few smug grins and rapper laughs, and swaggering around in ostentatious suits. If there's one kind of actor I can't stand, it's the "I'm so cool" guy. The movie, "2 Guns". Why?
I would have put Ryan Reynolds here, but Deadpool, so... yeah. (I don't want Deadpool crashing through my monitor and strangling me. OH SHI-

She was the best thing in "Snow White and the Huntsman", IMHO, though, excepting some nice CGI and costumes.Catfood220 said:
That is not to say she did a good job, however.
Oh yeah...sorta kinda almost worked ish in Blade3, in that Wesley Snipes was always pissed off at him for being such a wanker. I don't necessarily mean Blade was pissed off at Reynolds' character, mind.RedRockRun said:
I agree. It was like all his years of George Michael Bluth-esque characters lead to that one shining moment.President Bagel said:
It's not that I actually dislike Matt Damon, but I saw some of the Bourne whatever on TV the other night and seeing someone who has only two modes of acting (Looking angry and looking confused) try to be a secret agent was just precious.
I'm here to continue to shatter your worldview by saying I couldn't finish the bloody thing. It was awful.President Bagel said:

Hooray, validation for my pet peeves! Man she's a bland actress.RealRT said:
Jonah Hill is completely insufferable in anything I've seen him in. Everything about him is incredibly annoying no matter what role he plays.
I haven't even watched Hangover etc, which perhaps negates what I'm about to say, but I detest Zach Galafinananana and his acting crew in a similar way to the way I dislike the Vince Vaughn crew and the Will Ferrell crew. I just can't stand movies that glorify getting extremely drunk, especially movies which base their entire plots on epic nights out! (yeah!) *que air guitar solo a la Wayne's World*
Tom Cruise annoys me by being a particularly unconvincing actor. Every character he plays doesn't look like a character, but an actor doing a bad job, hamming up every emotion to the point where you can see clean through it.
Naomi Watts irritates me more though, in that she has only one expression to convey every emotion; a dopey, mouth half open, toothy frown:
That is her confused face, her bored face, her angry face, her scared face, her aroused face, her neutral face etc.

Cilian Murphy. I don't know what it is, it always feels like he's taking the piss when he acts somehow, it's always just a bit off, and not in a good way.
Anne Hathaway. She always vaguely seems misandrist, or being the victim in whatever role she plays, and i know it's a character actor thing, but it still bugs me.

Michael Cera, James Franco, Seth Rogen, Ellen Page, Adam Sandler, Anna Faris, Rob Schneider, all of them always star in the most terribly obnoxious movies and/or have terribly obnoxious roles
Well the guy was accepted into Harvard......RedRockRun said:
Its actually an interesting theory you got there and explains why Ben Affleck is always so mopey and serious compared to the much more upbeat and active Damon.....Goddamnit they based that movie on their own lives.
Great if you like leaden, unfunny jokes with the timing utterly butchered, I suppose. Also had all the thematic resonance stripped out, leaving it a bizarrely hollow experience.President Bagel said:
Cera's expertise is in playing terminally awkward wallflowers. Scott Pilgrim was a feckless lady killer, long on charm and short on reliability and responsibility. You might as well cast Cera to play Tony Stark.
Seth Rogen! This guy has been doing the same tired slacker, stoner shtick for years. He basically just plays himself and even made it blindingly obvious with This is the End, his self-aware parody movie that isn't funny. He hasn't aged well either. I actually thought he was in his late 40s, but he is only 33. Better put that bong down before it ages you any faster.
I also can't stand any pompous actor whose politics and ego overshadow their work. This mainly includes Sean Penn or Alec Baldwin. These guys should have a face off to see who the biggest douche nozzle is. They both practically love the smell of their own farts and will turn violent at the slightest provocation. Everybody likes to give Mel Gibson crap, yet these guys continue to get work. What gives?

I never liked Jerry Seinfeld, partly because I really dislike Seinfeld as a show but there's something about his voice that just irks me.
I can't put my finger as to why but I tend to have a negative reaction at Ben Stiller. No active dislike but it still annoys me when I see him on screen.

I never could stand her. Beyond thinking that "The Hunger Games" was cliche-ridden before the movies were even announced, the way she appears in those movies just bugs me. There's something about her appearance: her lifeless eyes, pudgy cheeks, and just bland demeanor that I find annoying. It's intensified too by the legions of people who think she's incredibly sexy. I simply don't see it.
I add Mel Gibson, for much the same reason that I hate McNaughty. Gibson has so many go-to acting actions that I can't stand it. The movie 'Ransom' is by far the worst of his flicks when it comes to these incessant idiosyncrasies that really CHAP MY PATOOTIE
I totally hear you. And Tom Hanks grinds my gears though I know he pulls the emotional strings of a lot of people, it's just a personal hate thingyDizzyChuggernaut said:
