Wow! What a cunt. I do agree with a few of them, though.

This is the DL list.

Looks pretty spot on to me. Needs a few more.

by Anonymousreply 5June 7, 2019 12:10 AM

Brie Larson [bold]Nah, she's been great at least three times[/bold]

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]

Nicholas Cage [bold]Has been great, but descended into schlock. He's sort of his own thing[/bold]

John Travolta [bold]See above[/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]

Gwyneth Paltrow [bold]Love her in Talented Mr. Ripley and the first Iron Man[/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]

Amy Adams [bold]Nope. Love her[/bold]

Armie Hammer [bold]Perhaps limited to a particular role, but good in that role[/bold]

Mark Wahlberg [bold]Is great if the role is tailored to his specific strengths[/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]

Who reads Jezebel? That site looks like a 17 year old is doing it.

Ugh. a Brie Larson stan at R6.

by Anonymousreply 8June 7, 2019 12:15 AM

I like Amy Adams

by Anonymousreply 9June 7, 2019 12:16 AM

Is that Brie Larson in OP’s image? Fuck, she looked great in that dress.

by Anonymousreply 10June 7, 2019 12:16 AM

A few are debatable, but Amy Adams does not belong on that list.

by Anonymousreply 11June 7, 2019 12:17 AM

Nic Cage is brilliant

by Anonymousreply 12June 7, 2019 12:21 AM

Amy Adams? No way.

by Anonymousreply 13June 7, 2019 12:48 AM

Anthony Mackie and Amy Adams don't belong on the list.

No Ben Affleck?

by Anonymousreply 15June 7, 2019 1:52 AM

I agree with them all apart from Amy Adams and sienna miller ( which almost pains me to say as I don’t WANT to like her, and indeed used to think she was a terrible actress, but she has done some great roles as of late......)

by Anonymousreply 16June 7, 2019 2:28 AM

Mostly on target. Love it when someone notices how awful Costner is. His best role was in "The Big Chill" as the corpse.

by Anonymousreply 17June 7, 2019 3:26 AM

Amy Adams doesn't deserve to be on the list. I agree with the other posters on this.

A cunt named "Clover".

John Travolta never matured as an actor. He was great playing a young kid. Those were his best roles.

by Anonymousreply 21June 7, 2019 4:19 AM

Amy Adams seems to be the one that is trending the most.

Marky Mark deserves to be on that list. He's a piece of shit human being in addition to being a terrible actor.

by Anonymousreply 22June 7, 2019 4:21 AM

Someone should do a list of bad listicles compilers and put her name on it.

I wouldn't call most of them flat out bad. Marky Mark tho--

She's just trying to be controversial. It seems to have worked a bit. Who cares what she thinks.

Jezebel = young, arrogant shitheads writing for young, arrogant shitheads.

Anthony Mackie and Michael B Jordan do not belong on that list. Amy Adams is typical white frau catnip

Because they're black R27?

Amy Adams? The writer is a dumb bitch on the hunt for page views!

by Anonymousreply 30June 7, 2019 5:41 AM

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.

by Anonymousreply 31June 7, 2019 5:47 AM

If your name is "Clover" you should expect to be mistaken for someone's bovine posession and can't take offense if you get milked.

by Anonymousreply 32June 7, 2019 5:51 AM

Clover would be a good addition to the cow name thread.

by Anonymousreply 33June 7, 2019 5:52 AM

She is a cunt. She pulled a list out of her ass and gave no reason for anyone.

Because she named a few people most of us agree on doesn’t mean it’s a worthwhile list. It’s fucking bullshit.

by Anonymousreply 34June 7, 2019 5:57 AM

I /liked/ Nic Cage in Wild At Heart, and I kind of like The Weatherman.

This isn't for the quality, it's just to advertise the movie.

If Golden Age stars were included, Lauren Bacall would OWN this thread.

No one under 50 knows who that is.

by Anonymousreply 40June 7, 2019 6:49 AM

I guess the "Golden" (Affected acting) age categorization makes that a given.

by Anonymousreply 41June 7, 2019 6:50 AM

E.g. Neck bitch, katherine hepburne or whatever her name is, was a HORRIBLE ACTRESS, but she was super fake and super affected like everyone from her time, so we pretend like she was talented.

by Anonymousreply 42June 7, 2019 6:51 AM

And I'm guessing comes from rich Jewish people / Jewish company owners / Jewish film makers.... basically star of david makes her employable.

She's been in quite a few movies that didn't outright suck. That's saying something in century 21.

Someone at Jezebel criticized Brie Larson? Huh.

by Anonymousreply 46June 7, 2019 10:35 AM

just another person with Trump syndrome, needing lots of attention for herself

by Anonymousreply 47June 7, 2019 10:39 AM

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.

by Anonymousreply 48June 7, 2019 10:43 AM

Hmm i agree with maybe half of that list?? Then again i never expected Vin Diesel or Adam Sandler to be Oscar winners.

by Anonymousreply 49June 7, 2019 12:18 PM

The cunt who wrote this, Clover Hope, is black. She must have the whitest black girl name on the planet. It would be like if a white girl was named Latrika Watkins-Thompkins.

by Anonymousreply 50June 7, 2019 12:23 PM

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.

by Anonymousreply 51June 7, 2019 3:30 PM

So glad that others see how mediocre Emma Watson is.

by Anonymousreply 52June 7, 2019 4:51 PM

Mark Wahlberg is a shit actor

by Anonymousreply 53June 7, 2019 6:20 PM

Ashton Kutcher's best role was making out with Sean Scott William in that stuid dude bro film

by Anonymousreply 54June 7, 2019 6:20 PM

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

by Anonymousreply 55June 7, 2019 6:36 PM

Nicolas (NOT Nicholas like this twat wrote) Cage is good.

Jezebel sucks, I wish they’d gotten shut down instead of Gawker.

As far as US journalists go, Glenn Greenwald is above average.

Joy Reid, Bari Weiss, Cathy Young - [italic]these[/italic] are bad writers.
