Awwww, come on Luci! He rocked the Matrix trilogy!! (mainly because he DIDN'T open his mouth...much.) :lol:

Cringeworthy? Most definitely top of my list is Jason Alexander (creepy George from Seinfeld) If ever there was any git I wanted to push down an empty elevator shaft...

*blushing*

I liked Jason Alexander in the television remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Talk about a diversified cast...

Andie MacDowell

I was a little hot for her in Sex, Lies and Videotape, but as she kept making movies, I found that her attractiveness just didn't matter anymore. She has had some of the worst line readings I have ever heard in a movie.

Michelle Rodriguez, and if anyone posts a picture of her, please spoiler-tag it.

I think she's downright ugly, and her voice is just grating. I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher and Victoria Jackson read the phone book than have Andie tell me she wants to know me Biblically.

Wow, Cail, tell us how you really feel! 8O :biggrin: :P

Any movie that has Kim Basinger running around squealing like a retard, ie "My Stepmother is an Alien, " "Blind Date, " "Batman" etc etc makes me want to vomit and shove pencils into my own ears to stop the torture.

Kim B's squealing is also one of those things that grates on my nerves in such a way that I actually get violent, I have the worst urge to slap her baldheaded. 8O :twisted:

Here you go Jenn, you can beat Kim Basinger with David Spade. :P
I can't stand either one of 'em.

He annoys the hell out of me too. I can't believe he's scoring chicks like Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson.....well, P.A. has very questionable taste, but Heather Locklear? She's WAY out of his league.

I love Robin Williams when he is not being smaltzy ... C'mon, how can you not like him in that dastardly performance in "Death to Smoochie" (questionable movie, but RW was very funny....)

Robin Williams does not make me cringe. Occasionally, his performance in a movie will . . . deter me from ever watching it again.

What makes me hit the mute button without fail--and wish for the memory wipe button--is ANYONE doing Robin Williams. It never works because they're mimicking an actor who can improvise at high warp, and without the spontaneity, it falls flat.

Williams does kinda get on my nerves, but its when he's not acting.....like being interviewed or whatever, he's always on.....constantly warping everything into something "comical".....just once I'd like to see him have a conversation without "that look" on his face and ready to do or say "something funny"...... :(

I have to be in a very specific mood to enjoy Robin Williams, but when I am in that mood then I find him very funny. I have to agree with Esmerlicious about the interviewing though. I would like to see an interview where he actually talks about serious issues and things.

I've always wanted to invite Robin Williams to a Passover seder, and tell him specifically that he is not to be "on" while with us. I always felt if he did attend such events, that he wasn't able to just be the guest of others, and I wanted to rectify that.

I know, totally irrelevant. But it is something I've always wanted to do...

I quite like Williams usually. Damn funny as a comedian. And Being Human was great.

The guy who did him on "The Next Best Thing" reality show did a really good job, but, yea, hhe was a bit too animated.
