Just How Bad Is Madonna's Acting Ability?

I forgot how horrible. I couldn't even get through 30 seconds. I was hoping the cougar would bite her hand off.

And that was one of her better moments in that movie, possibly in her whole career.

I didn't think she was TERRIBLE in this clip, and I thought I recognized a hint of a genuine human emotion flicker across her face toward the end. Or maybe she just had gas. Regardless, it's unquestionably her best work.

I've always enjoyed her performance in Desperately Seeking Susan.

She acts like a fool quite well.

She was great in Evita because she got to do what she most loves: parade around in costumes and have everyone look at her.

She worked best in A League of Their Own because it was more of an ensemble movie. It was clearly her best role. She should not be the lead in any movie besides, I guess, Truth or Dare.

Interrogation could be enhanced even further by subjecting suspects to "The Next Best Thing" on a loop, at high volume.

At least Rupert still looks yummy here.

Who’s That Girl is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because Haviland Morris is in it. Fuck Madge.

She reeks, and is even a worse director.

LOVE Haviland Morris, R10!

Her only reasonable performance is the final 10 minutes of Body of Evidence, when it turns out her character is actually a scheming bitch. No acting required.

Oh dear.

One critic of Swept Away summed up her acting ability by saying that you would swear monkeys were flinging their feces at you from the screen.

I couldn't get past the eyebrows.

The scene in R14 explains why Sean beat her.

Very bad.

R12 me too. In this film and the Gremlins 2 sequel.

She was awful in Swept Away when she was acting drunk. Didn't she campaign for an Oscar nod for Evita?

The reason she's so bad is that I've never seen an ounce of humanity in her. She cannot relay basic human feelings.

Was she not in some comedy with Sean Penn? Am I imagining that?

I never thought it was so much her acting skills (which are limited, at best) but her truly bad taste in choosing parts that finally did her in. When she stuck to light supporting parts (Desperately Seeking Susan, Bloodhounds of Broadway, A League of Their Own, Dick Tracy) she's fine. Sometimes (like in League) she's better than fine.

She's AOK in Evita because it's an overlong music video...her forte.

The rest of her choices have been horrendous. In that Shanghai Surprise clip, Penn is just as terrible as she is. And no one would say he can't act.

Body of Evidence is my favorite high-camp bad movie. She's hilariously lousy in it. And so is Willem Dafoe. And Anne Archer. And Julianne Moore. No one should have even tried. Archer is even worse than Madonna.

"Did you ever see animals make love Frank? It's wild! It's violent! But they never actually hurt each other." Too funny.

I do think she should try again at some point. A strong director and an age-appropriate part might do the trick. She'll never do it, though.

She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.

No strong director would willingly work with her, and she would never accept an age-appropriate part.

Madonna acts from the 'third eye', meaning she sees herself in performance and doesn't actually interact with anyone she's in a scene with. She showed promise in Desperately Seeking Susan but that was probably because she was playing herself. She was okay in Evita and had some decent moments in an Abel Ferrara movie I forgot the name of but some of that was obviously improvisation. She should have gotten some coaching from a tough acting teacher early on and she could've had a breakthrough.

She chose bad roles.

She should've selected Pretty Woman as a role. I think she could've done a better job than Julia Roberts

Madonna was in a tough spot. She wasn't pretty enough to be a glamorous/leading lady and she isn't pedestrian enough to play commoner roles.

She also has bad taste selecting scripts. She's excellent when it comes to choosing songs and her musical instincts but somehow that didn't translate to movies

R9's clip is the comedy portion. Rupert and Madonna acting "serious" later in the movie is a whole other level of torture.

I walked out of Evita. I figured with all the money and proven, popular middle-brow talent, it should have had some kind of charm at least. But no! Soul killing! I was offended and left. Stayed a fan or her pop music and videos, however, for quite some time.

Too self-conscious. Speaking voice is terrible.

She was good in Desperately Seeking Susan, though.

Madonna...playing herself as usual

Roll eyes @ R6. Evita. She was so ghastly I walked out of the movie.

Madonna should embrace her horrible acting and do a movie with John Waters.

She would stink up John Waters. John Waters actors knew precisely what they were doing and many of them were fantastic at it.

Since she seems to be living the plot, perhaps she could star in a new version of Sweet Bird of Youth.

She's really only ready for a bus and truck production of the MILK TRAIN DOESN'T STOP HERE ANYMORE.

Ghastly is the perfect word to describe Madonna in almost anything.

Vadge clearly supports rapist/pedo Biden by her actions. She should have been in jail for raping him.

She is the only one who is totally convinced that she is considered HAF by men more than half her age.

It's a feat of self-delusion that is almost Trumpian in its breathtaking audacity.

Her eyebrows were really distracting in Who’s That Girl and the voice doesn’t help. I like to watch it because it’s a so bad it’s almost good kind of movie.

What is that shit at R32?

There's something fundamentally empty about her as a person. So she has nothing normal to draw from when it comes to playing a recognizable human being.

R40 everything is because of Trump...you tired cunt.

R26 the movie you're referring to is called Dangerous Game. As for seeing an acting coach, her first manager tried to get her to see one, but she stopped going after the first class because it was "too hard." She's never been a great actress because she's never really been committed aside from Evita.

She stinks up the screen in everything.

"Evita" could have been a great movie musical, with a different star. No, really! The score is great, the supporting players excellent, the visuals are great... and Madonna is a lifeless presence at the center of it all. She single-handedly sinks the film.

It's not just her weak acting, she just doesn't have whatever it takes to command the screen. The camera doesnt love her, it's indifferent to her.

If she wasn't Madonna she would have failed screen tests, i'm assuming they just forget those if they get a big star to be in their movie.

At this point in time she’s way more Baby Jane than Norma Desmond.

not good, but I think acting convincingly on screen would be very hard.

Like her a lot in Desperately Seeking Susan

Love her in Evita & Truth or Dare (and her videos)

She's also OK in Spike Lee's Girl 6 and Woody Allen's Shadows & Fog, both of which she appeared in cameos.

She's so-so in Dick Tracy.

And she's terrible in everything else - except Who's That Girl, where she horrifyingly bad.

Anyone that "loved" Madonna in Evita has taste for shit.

She has a strange Pee Wee Herman vibe in that clip (from Who’s that Girl). The childlike idiot savant with the lispy voice

R10, Haviland Morris works as a real estate agent at Halstead. She’s a very nice woman, very interesting.

Who's the cute suited dork in OP's clip?

These new artists can’t hold a candle to Barbra Streisand.

I haven't seen all her movies but I think the worst I've seen was Swept Away. Wait.. it was The Next Best Thing.. wait... maybe it was Body of Evidence.. where she and Julianne Moore just couldn't stop their hissing wet cats from jumping onto the lap of intoxicating sex god Willem Dafoe every chance they got. All he had to do was grin that devastating Dafoe grin and how could their panties stay on?

God, she is awful. Not only can you see her acting, but you can see her watching you watching her.

Dare I say it but I love Who's That Girl? Madonna looks like she's having fun and she has great chemistry with Griffin Dunne. And of course, I agree - Haviland Morris is fabulous. Is there a DL thread on her? If not, there needs to be.

Both r26 and r31 get it. The problem with Madonna is that she has not real respect or understanding of how films work. For someone who can collaborate in a studio, she cannot collaborate on a film set. She just comes in, recites her lines like a robot and leaves. She isn't feeling the scene, feeling her actors; you see her thinking about what her next line is or next direction.

I thought she was great in Dangerous Game because Abel Ferrara actually challenged her. A lot of it was improvised but Madonna delivered. Funny, she badmouths the film but I think she resents the fact that Abel had control over the film and she didn't. She couldn't bring herself to trust him.

Dick Tracy is another example where she is flat onscreen. And Body of Evidence just looked worse in the wake of Basic Instinct. Say what you will about Sharon Stone, but she was completely mesmerizing in that film, and she also brought a sense of humour and sense of fun to the film that made her performance more exciting and memorable.

I thought she and Griffin Dunne did not get along at all while making Who’s That Girl.

Madonna can’t be anything except Madonna. She’s just not an actress, she doesn’t have it in her.

This bad.

She was 'coached" by an actor she was sleeping with while shooting Desperately Seeking Susan R26. She dumped him when filming ended.

R63 -- another in a long line of examples of Madonna using people. Complete sociopath throughout her life and career. Fuck her. Fuck her in the fake ass.

R26 as if, you retarded Vadge stan. She has no hidden talent. She has no presence or charisma when it comes to acting. She truly is one of the worst ever.

Whatever makes her a great stage performer doesn't work on film. Yet she is good in 5 minute music videos?

I actually liked Who's that girl as kid, although I'm sure I wouldn't now. The only thing I would watch again is desperately seeking susan, or truth or dare.

R66 her acting sucks in her videos as well. She has been good in one or two though.

One, two, peek-a-boo!

I'm in the camp that thought Evita was almost unbearable. Maybe it's good on stage, but the movie was awful.

Her best acting was probably in Dangerous Game, but of course she bad mouthed it.

Saw Who's That Girl in an empty theater on opening weekend. It's always been a guilty pleasure, to be honest.

R69 I am a fan, but Evita literally put me to sleep. Some of the soundtracks songs were OK.

[quote] She is the only one who is totally convinced that she is considered HAF by men more than half her age.

Cough.

More like “neigh” r71. 🐴

I'm sorry, but I don't think she's very good in Dangerous Game either.

She seems "edgier" because of the unflattering lighting and the ratty hair. But there's nothing going on in her head. It's her usual self-conscious performance. Playing against Harvey Keitel helps this scene a lot. But look at the people playing the film crew. They have more authenticity in their faces than Madonna has at any point in this scene. Everything she does is small town Community Theater at best.

She apparently drove all of her costars and directors to the point of insanity because she believed her first take was the best, that she really understood acting, and that she was above and beyond the say of the director. Having the world up your asshole when you're trying to break into film (circa 1985) would only make for a monster. In this particular shitfest, after Griffin Dunne completed his first take, she'd say "You got this, you got it" and he wanted to murder her.

She has absolutely zero talent for acting, even though it was her main ambition. She cannot access depth or vulnerability,. Rumours abound that she married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, despite being an alleged lesbian, to hopefully make it as a successful actress. If you really look at her music videos, she is quite one-note and blank when called upon to emote. She found her niche in MTV, has made millions of people happy, has had an astonishing career, and should embrace the fact that she is a billionaire. A lonely, depressed, possibly drunk one, but a billionaire nonetheless.

Guy Ritchie was a terrible director. One would've hoped she could latch on to someone better, but her taste is often questionable.

Her biggest acting mistake was pissing off Kevin Costner when he wanted her to co-star with him in The Bodygard.

*Bodyguard

Please excuse my spelling.

Madonna's acting ability reminds me of what Julianne Moore said of her character Amber Waves (in BOOGIE NIGHTS): Amber acts like she's continuously trying to remember the next line in the script as she is saying a line in the script.

Her line readings in Body of Evidence are so awkward and stiff you know there's got to be soap actresses who are better. Lots of them, actually.

She should've realized her limitations and never tried to be a big movie star, but just make the occasional movie where she plays a role very similar to herself. That she could do quite well with Desperately Seeking Susan and Truth or Dare, among a few others.

She could be interesting as an American Idol judge. You just know she'd be a total cunt.

R74 believes everyone in the world is a lesbian. Choke on a huge black cock, cuntfrau.

I love Who’s That Girl! Madonna was just bring 1985 Madonna in it, but it’s a funny, mindless 80’s movie.

R82, please take your meds and mind your manners. It is quite apparent that no dick has come between your gut and a carton of ice cream in decades, so keep your vitriol to yourself.

Madonna was basically the Meryl Streep of the '80s and '90s. No one could touch her. Not even Meryl.

Madonna would make a great American Idol judge. She has the resume and her cuntiness would be a thing of beauty. Also, it's the perfect gig to get her back in the spotlight in a major way. She should lobby for it.

Madonna can play any role. She has the range.

Madonna acts? I must have missed that.

Kevin Costner was rude to her backstage after her show. His response of neat was completely condescending.

She did apologize to him years later when he attended another show. But she got a lot of flak for it at the time, which is baffling.

Because he was honest when he said her pussy stank from the third row?

Costner was/is a bit of a square but c'mon...Madonna acted like a brat in that film.

I agree, R91. Costner came across as the uncool dad who brought his kids to the rock concert. Madonna acted like a total snatch to him for calling her show neat.

That's what Cher meant when she called Madonna a cunt. She doesn't have a gracious bone in her body.

[quote]Her line readings in Body of Evidence are so awkward and stiff you know there's got to be soap actresses who are better. Lots of them, actually.

There was a soap actress IN THE SAME MOVIE who acted circles around her -- Julianne Moore.

She really is epically bad in Body of Evidence. It's an awful script to begin with, but she really couldn't even start to sell it.

And you just know how badly she wanted her own Basic Instinct. It must have stung.

"alleged" lesbian? She's been openly bi, since what, the late 80s ?

R96 I doubt she loves to eat snatch. She will do anything to be fashionable.

She’s no...me...

Oscar caliber

She was quite good in A League of Their Own. Her acting was fine, she seemed game to do anything physical, and she was a major asset in the dance sequence at the bar.

Being part of an esemble is different than carrying a movie. Rosie was good in that too.

She was fine in Evita - seriously.

Seriously?

I didn't say Oscar-worthy fantastic, I said 'fine.'

James Foley, the director of Who's That Girl, basically said what is wrong with Madonna's acting: she tries too hard. In DSS, she was just herself, encouraged by the director to float through the piece as the free-spirit she is. She's actually quite charming through the whole movie. Not a great actress, just having fun. When she micro-manages every single detail, move, thought, etc, she becomes stiff, stilted and insincere. Somehow, she is able to experience that spontaneity when she is protected by the structure of music, hence her passable performance in Evita, and her impressive art-performances in concert. For a performer who can get lost in the latest re-invention throughout her music career, she is completely incapable of doing the same in a role on stage or film. The closest she came was the little known film "Dangerous Games" with James Russo and Harvey Keitel. Director Abel Ferrara was able to bring something out in her onscreen that no other film director was. She looked like she totally gave herself over to him, something I don't think she likes to do. In music, she is charge. In movies, she isn't.

Foley is right. Madonna is the most self-conscious person who ever lived. When she was young, poor, and ambitious, it made her fortune. Now that she's old, rich, and insecure, it's her downfall.

#45 "...but she stopped going after the first class because it was "too hard." "

If that's the same acting coach I remember reading about, the coach told the manager that she refused to work with Madonna any more because Madonna was 'arrogant, vulgar, and refuses to take direction,' (or words to that effect. I don't recall the verbatim comment.)

It’s interesting that we’re all forgetting she took Broadway by storm in the 80s in Mamet’s Speed the Plow. She got shockingly respectable reviews that said she was the most interesting person on the stage. Treading the boards is no mean feat and she conquered it to everyone’s surprise.

R108 - Thanks for the belly laugh.

The "audition" starts at about 1:08.

One of the SPEED THE PLOW quotes was, “No, she can’t act...”

I can't imagine why the casting agents didn't cast her in FAME after that audition tape!

^They traded up with Janet.

She had a great look in that Fame audition, but the acting is soooo self-conscious.

Love how Madonna lies in that clip r114. She was 21 in 1982 yet born in '58?

Gurl...

[quote] Madonna acts from the [bold]'brown[/bold] eye',

FIXED

I don't understand why anyone is a fan of her to be honest. R21 has it right--she cannot relay basic human feelings. There is something cold, distant, and off-putting about her, and there always has been. If you watch interviews with her, she speaks like a robot. Her music is better than her acting, I guess.

She can project human feelings and empathy in her music. Songs like Crazy for You, Live to Tell, Promise to Try, Cherish, In this Life, Rain, Little Star project warmth and vulnerability.

The Something to Remember collection is one of the best things she released.

Y’all are just a bunch of hateful Janet stans.

Queen Madonna reigns SUPREME!

SUPREME, I tell you!

She has no acting ability, it is on par with her singing, atrocious. Madonna is the master of one thing. Marketing, she has marketed her lack of talent to vapid gays for as long as she could. In that way she is brilliant.

Mad looks fantastic in the film, but I can't watch two seconds of who's that girl without bringing. The voice. What was that?

Bringing = cringing

Yikes just yikes. Someone told her that voice was a good idea?

I can't even watch that movie as 'camp', it's too cringe inducing!

Where's the cougar, matey?

Who is Madonna channeling in Who's That Girl? Judy Holliday? Whomever she is it is fucking annoying.

She was very good in this SNL segment.

R127 eats turds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That is why she loves Vadge.

I'm a fan of her music but the poster who wrote that she sees you watching her is right. I can't stand watching her act; she's so obviously aware of sn audience beyond her costar abd tries way, way too hard. Look about four posts uothread;it even comes across in still photos. The cover image for Something to Remember has always irked me. You can SEE her thinking, "I look vulnerable. People will like this." Her talent begins and ends with music and dance. Acting was never in her wheelhouse.

[quote] She was very good in this SNL segment.

She can perform a comedic role.

She just can't act. That requires interacting with other people.

R89 She was rude and childish. She also shoved her finger down her throat and pretended to retch at people as soon as he had his back turned to her. People expected Costner would use his triple Oscar nomination that year to get back at her, but he ignored the whole thing.

Hey Madonna, this Oscar is "neat".

I had forgotten just how bratty she was in Truth or Dare. She acts like a toddler and a mean-girl. Warren looks so uncomfortable the whole time, waiting for the next awful thing to come out of her mouth.

“I’m not BEING racy, I’ve BEEN racy!”

I think "A League of Their Own" best exemplifies her acting ability. For most of the movie, when she is playing basically herself, she's very good. Then there is the scene where she has to show emotion, when she finds out they might shut down the league, and she's terrible.

I loved Truth or Dare it really captures a moment Madonna was everywhere and covered in the media daily. This was way before any social media obviously. There really wasn't anything like it. And yeah she was bratty but that was one of the reasons I liked her.

Considering that the nation's gay men were being wiped out by a gay genocide and developing PTSD symptoms from not wanting to catch that awful disease, YES! Madonna was the perfect face of aids and gay ptsd. And her awful dancers and her awful dancing were the cherry on her shit cake of ToD.

[quote]Dare I say it but I love Who's That Girl? Madonna looks like she's having fun and she has great chemistry with Griffin Dunne. And of course, I agree - Haviland Morris is fabulous. Is there a DL thread on her? If not, there needs to be.

Gotta say I like "Who's That Girl?" too but then I got to go to the World Premiere at the National Theater in Times Square. They closed off TS and she appeared on a stage and then came upstairs to the screening. There was some good laughs, she brought the house down with two...Knock Knock and when Louden is being admitted to the hospital and they ask his last name...Clear. Hanging out with Carrie Fisher was cool too and I told her first book, "Postcards From The Edge" which was being published the next week was going to be a hit and I was right.

I was in NY's first Johnny Rockets a few years later waiting for a take out order when a family was coming toward me to leave and I looked up and Haviland was looking at me with a big smile because she knew I would have to move so she could get out ( it was packed having just opened) . She was lovely.

Buck died before the movie was released.

The fact that Haviland Morris never became A-list is a damn shame. She's a fantastic actress and a scene-stealer in EVERY film she's in.

I'm glad to hear she's happy doing real estate but talk about someone who Hollywood slept on.

She and John Glover made the brilliant and underrated Gremlins 2 a terrific sequel.

Have you ever seen a gay porn where the top was so totally implausible you burst out laughing? That was Madge in “Dick Tracy” and well, fuck, everything except “Desperately Seeking Susan”.

She’s a bad, bad fake top

“I’m here to put in your phone line how about a massage, baby”

She's far better than given credit. See "Dangerous Game" for one.

Patti said it best on WWHL: "Madonna is a movie killer. She's dead behind the eyes. She cannot act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be in film or on stage. She's a wonderful performer for what she does, but she's not an actress."

I thought she was great in Dangerous Game but she actually had to collaborate and be one of the gang and improvise. She probably hated it that Abel Ferrara didn't kiss her ass.

r135 is right though. She was very funny and charismatic in A League of Their Own but when they gave her that big scene about having to go back to taxi dancing, it was cringey. I remember my sister said how bad she was in that scene.

Madonna is a hallow person. Even in interviews she beyond phony. Nothing is real about that woman. The fake accent and anal retentiveness screams sociopathy. She has no sense of self.

Preach Patti! I didn't think she was that bad in Dick Tracy. It was a live action cartoon for christs sake.

Stop raping me, my nigga!!!

For someone who has won Tony awards and Emmy nominated, Patti is quite bitter.

Did anyone here actually see her in Speed the Plow? The thought of her delivering Mamet dialogue is painful.

Madonna was terrific in David Rabe's "Goose and Tomtom," and I wondered why she could never match that brief burst of accomplishment. Perhaps because it was a private performance amongst friends and colleagues, she was unencumbered by the thought of facing harsh public scrutiny. Since then she had been quite self-conscious in her performances. It is as if there was an unwillingness to shed her façade of steeliness and be soft and vulnerable.

OP, get psychiatric help for your anti-Madonna obsession.

You're never going to make the hate "happen" or Madonna "ovah."

Madonna's performances in DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN and EVITA received positive reviews.

Even when she's dead, the Madonna Haters' view is not going to prevail.

I question whether the persistent Madonna attacks are coming from the right-wing, Christian conservative trolls on Datalounge who are always Trump-sucking and gay-bashing.

No, you stupid cunt. It is not just right wing trolls who hate Vadge. ALL demographics hate that cunt.

[quote]I do think she should try again at some point. A strong director and an age-appropriate part might do the trick

No. Just No.

Yes, even Evita was terrible.

The film was no different than anything she had done in music videos and it was still awful.

Ensemble cast or no ensemble cast, Madonna cannot act. She just doesn't "have it". Hell, she can't even pretend to be a nice person for five minutes.

I bought the 'Swept Away' DVD used for like $1.30 and it is regularly featured in my 'Horrible Movie Film Festival'. I believe that 'Swept Away' is considered to be one of the single worst-reviewed movies in history. (Interesting to see that it only took one kid to ruin her body.)

And that one she with Benjamin Bratt and that British guy who thought having Madge the Vadge as a friend was his ticket to Hollywood glory - unbelievably bad!! I got a grim pleasure watching Madge make an utter fool of herself by trying to do "cutesy" comedy.

Whot mahn?

Has there ever been a person more bitter than Patti? She probably bleeds vinegar.

Yeah why is Patti Lupone such a bitch? She seems to have had a nice successful career.

[quote]Did anyone here actually see her in Speed the Plow? The thought of her delivering Mamet dialogue is painful.

Front row. She knew her lines.

Desperately Seeking Susan, Who's That Girl, A League of Their Own, Dick Tracey and Evita are the only good films she has done. Everything else was crap.

R160 She was awful in every single one of those films as well. Truly awful.

My movies

make the critics

leave the theater

stunned

[quote]r26 She was okay in Evita and had some decent moments in an Abel Ferrara movie I forgot the name of but some of that was obviously improvisation.

DANGEROUS GAME (aka SNAKE EYES) from 1993

She got a good review in [italic]The Village Voice.

R160 She was not good in any of those but you are always a stupid, ignorant cunt wherever you happen to be.

She was good in [Italic]Evita[/italic] because it’s basically just was one long music video. No dialogue, no realism. All she had to do was look good in the clothes and lip sync to the lyrics. These are of course her only real talents.

[italic]Desperately Seeking Susan[/Italic] and [italic]A League of Their Own[/italic] are the only other movies where she was genuinely entertaining, but in both she plays a supporting role and is bolstered by an otherwise great cast. Both roles are also just different versions of her real persona, so they’re not really an acting stretch for her. Both roles are basically “Madonna.”

[italic]Who’s That Girl[/italic] and [italic]Dick Tracy[/italic] are not good movies by any objective measure. You may enjoy them, but both are insipid dreck.

R165 No matter how many times you say it, cunt. You will always be wrong. She was terrible in every movie she was in and especially Evita.

"Acting ability?" WHAT acting ability? That was the problem. Madonna has NO acting talent whatsoever. I loved the headline that appeared when she made her theater debut in "Speed The Plow." It said simply: "No, She Can't Act."

R167, take your afternoon pill. This is my first time posting, and I made a pretty clear effort to damn her with faint praise.

My point, which you clearly missed in your knee-jerk spasms, is that she has no acting talent to speak of. She can wear clothes, lip sync, and play exactly one persona, which puts her on the same level of talent as a second-stringer at a divey drag bar on a Saturday night.

And just because Patti Lupone states the obvious and says how horrible Madonna is, you fucking cunts try to attack Patti. Fuck you cunts with ten billion huge cocks. R169 give it up, you retarded cunt. Anyone who thinks Madonna is good at anything has zero credibility.

It seems everyone famous gives movies a try eventually. Remember Cindy Crawford? No?

R171 Yup. I remember. This was the film that ended Billy Baldwin's career. Crawford trying to make Constitutional law sound sexy, Baldwin using a computer keyboard as a weapon. O...M...G.

[quote]r168 Madonna has NO acting talent whatsoever. I loved the headline that appeared when she made her theater debut in "Speed The Plow." It said simply: "No, She Can't Act."

Perhaps just feeling bored that week, critic Frank "the butcher of broadway" Rich gave M a rave for her performance in the New York Times, calling it [italic]"intelligent, scrupulously disciplined comic acting." [/italic]

This caused an uproar, with Dennis Cunningham of WCBS-TV saying, 'I`m so ticked off . . . I think Frank should apologize for every actor he`s ever given a bad review to,' (of which there were MANY)

R145 you describe lady Fugga well.

R164 is getting confused and ornery and needs to have his depends changed and be put to bed early. Poor senile bitch.

It’s not your phone... it’s the site that’s shit.

R176 just quit your cunting. We don't like Vadge apologists on the DL.

R181 You need to get that sand out of your vagina. I'm not a huge fan of hers. I actually think she's a terrible person. But I do like several of her songs and a few of her movies but that's about it.

Stop raping me!!!!

She holds the record for most Golden Raspberry Awards for an actress.

Acting was never her calling. At least "Who's that Girl" was a big joke and nothing to take serious (plus she made some excellent soundtrack songs). But as usual with her, she takes herself wayyy too seriously. She was excellent though on her deathbed in "Evita". Her career and legacy would probably be bigger if she didn't spend so much time and energy on movies (and directing them now). Oh well, it is what it is.

I grew up middle of nowhere in Colorado so let's just say I was no film critic at age 10 or whatever and it was a big deal to drive into Denver to see a movie.

That bitch ruined Dick Tracy for me. It was the first time I sort of "noticed" truly bad acting for what it is, and I was appalled.

Who's that Girl might have been halfway decent had she played it like Desperately Seeking Susan. Instead, she makes it unwatchable with that awful mugging and accent.
