Jennifer Lawrence [bold]She's good, but was prematurely crowned[/bold]
Michael B. Jordan [bold]He's a solid actor who I think will get better[/bold]

Kristen Stewart [bold]Compelling in her own way[/bold]
Daniel Radcliffe [bold]I like him[/bold]
Adam Sandler [bold]Was great in Punch Drunk Love. Got bad[/bold]

Vin Diesel [bold]Limited, but stays in his lane[/bold]
Chloë Grace Moretz [bold]I don't know what she's doing[/bold]
Emma Watson [bold]Yeah, pretty dull[/bold]
Anthony Mackie [bold]Solid. Very good in Hurt Locker[/bold]
Jessica Alba [bold]Sure[/bold]

Kevin Costner [bold]He's kind of boring...[/bold]
Bradley Cooper [bold]Not bad, but obviously desperate[/bold]
Scarlett Johansson [bold]Can be good, but Hollywood rarely knows how to use her[/bold]
Ashton Kutcher [bold]Boring[/bold]
Chris Evans [bold]Aww, he's sweet[/bold]
Ansel Elgort [bold]Has yet to make a good case as to why he's in movies[/bold]
Gal Gadot [bold]She's got a charm about her[/bold]
Angelina Jolie [bold]She doesn't really... do anything anymore does she?[/bold]
Sienna Miller [bold]Yeah okay[/bold]

I was ready to give Sienna a chance, but I saw her on stage as Sally Bowles in Cabaret and she was genuinely awful. The stage has a way of separating the truly talented from the simply beautiful and lucky. Remember when Julia Roberts did a Broadway show? She was awful, too.

That's not how it works, R47.
These big websites have editors who come up with ideas to get rageclicks, and they assign them to writers. Occasionally a writer will pitch something they accept, but I would doubt ANY writer would pitch an article where they don't even get to write anything. Writers want to bloviate about a topic, not just make a list without any explanation.
The lack of explanation was orchestrated on purpose to make people angrier and get responses, because the more responses you get from people on Twitter and other outlets, the more clicks your original article gets.
And then the editors can sit back and relax while the idiot newbie who agreed to put their name on the article gets all the shit from people who have no idea how this shitty system works.

I don't get a) why anyone male or over the age of 30 would pay any attention to Jezebel b) the outrage over this. So what that some chick posted a list of actors she thinks are no good? No one's being forced to agree with her choices or pay them any mind.

Opinions are like assholes: everyone has one. And unfortunately, for Jezebel, the writer is one.
THIS is what passes for journalism, even feature writing, these days.
I don't think a lot of the people on the list are good actors - but neither are hundreds of other people who are in movies, make a lot of money, and have even won acting awards. There is no lead, so it's impossible to know what her point is. There are no stated criteria for what makes a good or bad actor, let alone why she selected these particular people, as opposed to one of the hundreds of other people who are also actors.
It's like making A List of Bad Writers:
- Clover Hope
- Sabrina Rubin Erdely
- Glenn Greenwald
- Dan Brown
- Nicholas Sparks
- EL James
- Donna Tart
- Johann Hari
- Jayson Blair
- Matt Drudge
- Hunter S. Thompson
