Actors who need to be brought down a peg

Wouldn’t “actors who like to be pegged” be more fun?

Tom Hanks

Julia Roberts

but alas, she's a sociopath... so, it wouldn't take.

The remaining Judds and all associated people

Madonna

but she's doing a good enough job on her own.

Katey Sagal

Niecy Nash. Bitch, please have a seat.

Brendan Fraser

(say my name, say it right or I'll kill you motherfucking idiots. Love me, I'm great.)

Alec Baldwin

Viola Davis

Bill Murray

Kate Winslet

Dan Aykroyd

(he's still hoping the next ghostbusters movie which I'll have a bigger role in will be my big break into the mainstream)

Helen Twelvetrees

Most/all

[quote] Helen Twelvetrees

Yma Sumac

Maria Tallchief

Jacob Elordi

Jonah Hill

Will Smith

Neely O'Hara

John Wilkes Booth

Austin Butler - drop that friggin voice.

Reese Witherspoon - honey you're not curing cancer. You're just managing a production company so that you and your actress friends get work and stay relevant.

Lena Dunham

Lea Michele

Apple+ salesman Timothee Chalamet

Susan Sarandon

R26, Timmy seems to keep a low social profile and doesn't promote himself or his opinions. Unlike Susan Sarandon and some of the others mentioned above.

Mensa member Sharon Stone. She's actually gotten better but there was an era when she was unbearable.

Jennifer Lawrence - can she just once try to be less of a cunt? I think the No Hard Feelings movie will be her swan song and then years later she'll attempt a comeback a la Cameron Diaz.

Great Beauty (?) Maggie Gyllenhaal!

Box office poison Timothee Chalamet

R28: Um have you looked at his Instagram? He doesn’t promote anything but himself.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Activia Baroness.

Austin Butler and his fake accent

R35, are you also R22?

Jennifer oh I am so sweet garner... a bitch in real life who destroyed Ben Affleck

Sandra bullshit

r37 Ben has done a great job at self-immolation. And while I'm no big fan of Jennifer G., you have to feel some respect for a woman who took her drunk-ass, addict ex (? I think they were separated or divorced at that time) not only to rehab but *through a greasy ass drive-thru* before dropping him off at rehab. As someone who went to rehab once, that pre-rehab meal of bad-for-you food is really key and a great way to kick off a good rehab experience.

Jennifer Coolidge - praying she's doesn't win at SAG so we don't have to listen to another unfunny 30 minute speech.

"brought down and pegged" would be a much better thread.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can put up with his fake climate change advocacy but please enough with the contract relationships.

R33, you forced me to look at Timmy's official instagram account for the first time. He's posted once so far in 2023 and about two dozen times in all of 2022.

R43: And all those posts are about him and his projects. Also, I've seen him give interviews and believe me he's not as smart as he obviously thinks he is.

Neicey Nash, go away. Janelle Monae, girl stfu

Omg, Cate BlandShit. This bitch is everywhere and fawned over like she is the second coming

R46: I used to like her but can't stand her ever since she became the new Meryl. Everybody kisses her ass and laughs at her unfunny jokes. Yes she gets offered everything even after turning in mediocre nothing performances. I'm actually hoping that talent free bitch Michelle Yeoh wins over her after she called the award system patriarchal.

R47: Not to mention she's fucking physically painful to look at.

The only correct answer.

R46=Viola Davis

I mean r47 but could be r46, heck even R48. Viola, girl log off the internets

R48, Cate is a beauty

Jenna Ortega

R52: Honey she's a lot of things but she ain't no beauty.

R53: The industry is trying so hard to make this shit bland actress happen but she's not leading lady material in any way, shape, or form.

Jessica Chastain. She's gotten better but god she can be insufferable and dumb.

Glad I'm not the only who found CB has become very untolerable in her interviews. Yuck wtf happened to her?

The Rock

Nicole Kidman. She can't move her face so her acting is literally wooden but the bitch is everywhere.

Box office poison Margot Robbie.

[quote] who found CB has become very [bold] untolerable

Please tell me this is a typo.

R37 He deserved to be destroyed, he's a two-timing bitch!

R52, she's pumped up her cheeks and so many nose job tweaks.

Ariana Debose, just go the fuck away. You too Billy Porter.

Taylor Swift. That would be GLO-REE-US

R61- Cate Blanchett

Evan Peters, only has a career from blowing Ryan Murphy

Prince Harold

Simon Pegg

R59, we don't get enough of Nicole Kidman

"Untolerable" is not a word.

Cate Blandhsit needs to go easy on the fillers, anymore cheek pumping and she will start looking like that thing from the movie Saw

R67: It pays off.

Timmy Shamalay

Ariana debose - had enough of her already. That plump black chick from Abbot Elementary , and who gave her a L'oreal commercial. What were they thinking??

Yeah another vote for casting couch alumnus Chalamet.

Quinta Brunson's career will go to the shitter in a few years.

Has no one mentioned Tommy C and JLo yet?

Angela Basset and Sheryl Lee Ralph award speeches. I really have had enough of the church like soliloquy when they're at the podium. So cringe. Please don't give them anymore awards

Who is Tommy C?

R71, bite me

Another vote for Jamie Lee Curtis. I can't stand him

Sean Penn

Samuel L. Jackson

Adrien Brody

Peter Dinklage

Richard Madden

[quote]Adrien Brody

Nah. He needs to be brought [bold]up[/bold] several pegs. I miss him.

Florence Pugh

Harry Styles!

Jenna Ortega

Jennifer Coolidge. Brad Pitt.

R91 = R53

r93 = waste of space and time

I have a story. That offspring of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. I bumped into this troll looking chick at of all places, the library. Bitch talked very haughty to the library assistant and walked around with her nose in the air, assuming people were gawking at her. I was the only one who recognized her really, and I didn't even know she could read.

Have we had enough of Austin Butler?

Could someone tell Jeremy Renner he is NOT a "hero" for driving over himself? Nobody cares about your 30 fucking broken bones. Frigging closet case.

[quote] Viola Davis

I agree. She's so fucking smug and entitled.

Apparently a black woman who worked hard to get where she is is "entitled"

But not white nepotism brats like Lily Rose Depp

R98, this is true of all actresses

Someone with so much talent like Viola needs to work 10 times harder than mediocre actresses just to get recognized during awards season

The woman knows her worth. She is not smug

Look CB told them she doesn't want the awards and here they go giving her more

We should be hoisting Viola up a couple pegs more if you ask me

Cate Blanchett wins this thread.

Kate Hudson, says she didn't make it due to nepotism but she totally did

Ben Platt

I know that they were considering surgery/filler free Vera Farmiga for Tar-she would have killed it. But they went with the bigger name.

I used to love Taika Waititi, but he's insufferable now.

Aubrey Plaza. Ugh

I know that they were considering surgery/filler free Vera Farmiga for Tar-she would have killed it.

Rolling eyes.

R105, in every movie of Vera's that I have watched, it looks lie she is mumbling. Bitch may be surgery free but she can't act.

Charlize Theron needs to be put in her place.

R77: She's lucky that jackass Kimmel ruined her Emmy speech. It extended her 15 minutes and made more people become aware of her.

r101 sit down, Jada. You should be on this list, too.

Natasha Lyonne

Chloë Sevigny

Ricky Gervais

Ice-T

Nick Cannon

Mrs Maisel. wtf?

This douchebag.

the child cast of Stranger Things

Billy Porter

the cast of ST:D

Billy Eichener

(oh, how we tried and yet....)

Mark Ruffalo

Patti LuPone

Jamie Lee Cuntis

Christmas has come early: Jamie Lee Curtis in the hot seat

Mindy Kaling

Maya Rudolph

(omg, I hate people mispronounce Maya. omg, I hate people that spell Rudolph wrong)

Kim Cattrall, she moves about like someone who believes she is well-liked.

Margaret Cho

(I was the FIRST. Me. I Was the first. But lost it all because they were racist and fatphobic. Where are my gays? Look at me do funny stereotypical accents.)

RDJ is a smug douchebag

Cynthia Nixon

Kathy Griffin

(I'm no longer successful because of two faggots and America's hatred of women)

R112, no. Natasha needs to be celebrated more

Cattrall is cool because she never gives off that desperate “Like me! Like me!” vibe most performers do.

r134 I enjoy her works but she's an uppity cunt. Ask the DL about how she treats her lessers.

Selena Gomez

Emma Watson

Angelina Jolie

Jennifer Aniston

Goop

I finally watched Tar. My friend and I were 2 of 6 people in the theatre. She was creaming over Cate Blanchett.

Katherine Heigl

Oops wrong thread

I hate that people are being so cruel to JL Curtis. I worked with both JL and her mom JL years ago. It was a total pleasure. They couldn't have been nicer and well grounded. I also loved Kim Cattrall.

R145, they're both cunts

r145 a lot of us experience that with some but many have changed over the years. . . like I used to be in Branden Fraser's camp as one of the nice guys until he became a bitter fat alcoholic, temperamental crybaby and general lying scumbag.

speaking of such, Neil Patrick Harris.

^ brendan fraser

Glenn Close

I believe you R95, she seems like an arrogant bitch and so does her Mother.

Matthew McConaughey. Jared Leto

For Gods sake, JLo, and Ben Affleck. Austin Butler too. His portrayal of Elvis wasn't all that great and that fucking accent is ridiculous.

ALL of them?

Julia Roberts - how many fucking times do we have to hear about how she met George and how they're just the bestest of friends?

NPH is a dick and the husband is worse.

Anyone who gives Taika Waititi a dime to make a movie after the coke-fueled shit brûlée he made out of Thor Love and Thunder is out of their mind.

Taylor Swift.

Agreed. Although not an actor, Taylor Swift has saturated media with her carefully curated self. The fact is, she is just twee.

Kathleen Turner. I think she's a wonderful actress, but I dislike her as a person. Her huge ego now matches her body. At 20, she had the face she was born with. Now, she has the face she deserves.

R157: Box office poison.

r150 Ms Bonet is less arrogant than a stereotype of a proto-hipster, post-hippie, or just suburban, in the white hood, stoner.. she was the go to target for being yet another tragic mulatto (which is the general resentment to her while despite dispelling the notion that good hair, good skin, get all the industry breaks.) while also being willfully ignorant about many things, just perpetually naive.. .an arrested development from the time she left The Cosbys, A similar issue was true with Rae Dawn Chong, Rain Pryor, Kimora Lee, Cree Summer, so many others. . . and I'd dare say it is common among mixed people of a certain age, especially celebrities.. when you're too light for one hood and too dark for the other, especially when you're pushed to an (inter)national level of identity. It's a classic trope but it remains true to an extent. These days, it's a bit of a wonder she hasn't become a real housewife, though she'd be eaten alive.

^ the male equivalent would be Wheelchair, I started from the bottom with a leading role in Degrassi, Jimmy.. Drake

Bull fucking shit R161.

r163 You'll have to clarify, dear. I know you're probably a white liberal offended at the stereotyping but the world of minorities is not a place for a magical negro fantasies.

r163

r163 Or perhaps you're more for the classic noble savages and why voter id laws are racist

r163

^ of course, I suppose it could be projection. I have a similar chip on my shoulder and found myself put up to the limit test of "authenticity" -- people want you to id as a minority when you're hot but resent you when you're not.

Dolly Parton. Angela Bassett Neicey Nash. Sheryl Lee Ralph. Angela Bassett. Janelle Monae. Viola Davis. Will Smith.

r39 we had a really funny thread about Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck hitting the drive thru before she dropped his wasted drunk ass of at rehab. The pictures were priceless.

Those fucking gay minstrel shows Billy Eichner and Billy Porter. Christ, they're just embarrassing. But straight people love extremely stereotypical gay men. It makes them feel "progressive."

[quote]I have a story. That offspring of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet.

Zoe Kravitz. From what I've seen of her, she appears to be on tranquilizers in all her performances.

[quote]Alec Baldwin

Yes, along with his equally sociopathic wife.

r170 yup, I remember it well. But thanks for the pic again and giggle!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Please just make them go away.

Whoopi Goldberg.

That is a thread closer, if ever!

Ana de Armas

Pegging the pegless…

Cate blanchette! Tilda Swinton! Emma Thompson! Kate Winslet!

Miss Thang Ezra Miller

These gay actors 0and the ugliest thing Billy porter

Rupaul the epitome of trash and no talent. Make up watering ho

Keanu

^^ Yes!

Julian Sands needs to be taken down… off that mountain!

The smugness of Ryan Reynolds. And the closeted asshole known as Hugh Jackman.

I have met Jeff Probst. Total Prick. No Joke.

Rose McGowan. I am sure she did every sordid thing she could think of to advance her career. And when it didn't pay off, she became a victim.

Rypaul no talent but a cross dressing pos

[quote]Ask the DL about how she treats her lessers.

R136 Her LESSERS? Who the fuck are you?

One of her lessers, I imagine, R190.

No actors need to be brought down a peg, especially in world with billionaires assholes ruining it for everyone. But by all means, go after the artists

[quote]No actors need to be brought down a peg, especially in world with billionaires assholes ruining it for everyone. But by all means, go after the artists

Agree. Except for Alec Baldwin. He can stay on the list.

Ryan Murphy - It’s not like he’s bringing world piece just because he lifts underrepresented voices. The guy makes shitty tv shows and casts nepo babies in them.

R193 Stop reading the NY Post so much.

[quote]R193 Stop reading the NY Post so much.

I don't read the NY Post and I don't read about Alec Baldwin or his wife. I just don't respect people who post lots of happy-family holiday photos on their public Instagram days after one of them fatally shoots a wife and mother on the low-budget, unsafe set of a movie he's producing. They could have made their Instagram private out of respect for the husband and young son who no longer had their whole family together, but they didn't do that...their family was intact and they wanted to celebrate that by uploading more and more public photos for "likes".

Jlo is no artist!

Faye Dunaway- for reasons that are known to her.

R192, Are you kidding? You must be one of the celebrities mentioned here and your feelings are hurt. Many actors and most billionaires are insufferable.

So sorry that we're going after "the artists"!

Streisand. Smug bitch.

R192, this is the way actors discuss other actors.

No matter the denials, it’s a high possibility that many on this thread are talking shit about their own industry peers.

Also, I agree that Baldwin handled that tragic situation in a very distasteful manner.

My opinion it lies between a rock and a hard place, because while I’m pretty certain it was never his intention to accidentally kill someone, he was the producer and by all accounts, that set was a total shit show.

Indeed, he should have put all social media on lockdown, and should have remained silent, instead of going on interviews, proclaiming his innocence.

"Corporate oligarchs who need to be brought down a peg" would either be the shortest thread in DL history or the most repetitive. Take their fucking money away. Problem solved.

R192 must be Cate Blandshett or Jamie Cuntis. These 2 men are insufferable

Eva Longoria

Billy fucking Porter

Ben Affleck

Matt Damon

Jimmy Fallon

David Alan Grier

Christine Baranski

Cynthia Nixon

Tina Fey, please.

AUBREY FUCKING PLAZA!

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Reese Witherspoon

R161 I don't necessarily disagree with what I could understand. However, please learn to write. Consider punctuation! Take a writing class, or use the grammarly extension or something.

Lady fucking Gaga. Although "actor" is loosely used when applied to her.

R2 Tom Hanks is on Mt. Rushmore now. He can't be taken down.

R39 It's all about you, I guess.

r212 I was commenting on the pre-rehab greasy meal and Garner's willingness to take him through a drive-thru before dropping him off as a reason why she's not all bad.

I added in the part about how impt that is because the exact thing happened to me. But humor is lost on you I guess, hm?

R213 I guess it is. Don't give up your day job, though.

Jamie Lee Curtis. I don’t gaf about her genital situation.

But I don’t like her hysterically haughty histrionics.

I'm being extremely charitable calling her an actor, but that cunt Candace Cameron Bure needs to be dragged down.

R216 Thank you God for being on our side.

Juicy Smooyay.

R67 Lie - I get to fuck his ass too.

Sorry, Colton, you just aren't as good.

The cast of Black Panther

Alec Baldwin-- but I'm working on it.

r190 apologies for the delay, discussing the "new school" theories, courses and professors here often sends one to a timeout. Separate matter, though.

Much of the stories relate to shopping and restaurants. Some fro sales/wait staff themselves, a few fro other customers. Then you have those factions upset that she's neither a flag waving Zionist nor bomb vest toting anti-zionist constantly screeching against/for it's destruction, she'll be playing teenage/ YA characters into her 80s, and her choice of work, especially when she's doing mediocre avante guarde projects tend to leave her unbearable smug.

R222 are you an actor? Because i think you need to be brought down a peg.

R222-Are you on a 3 day binge again?

I've met Natasha Lyonne and she was delightful.

Katie Segal

You're right, r101; Viola Davis is not smug. She's tedious.

Any actor who mentions his/her "craft" during an interview. Discuss that with your peers, your acting coach, your agent, but, please, do not bore us with that pomposity.

JAKE! JAKE!JAKE!

Gyllenhaal owns this thread.

Meryl Streep

R225 I also met Natasha Lyonne after Orange is the New Black and, I believe, between wrapping Russian Doll and its release, at a non-industry event. She even had a name tag on!

I said that Slums of Beverly Hills and But I'm a Cheerleader were two of my favorite indie movies and he hit my arm and said "Huh-Uh." She was kind and incredibly gracious. We stood and talked for maybe five minutes before some troll came up and escorted her away. My date said OMG that's Fred Armisen! I had no clue who he was but they were obviously together.

Kerry Washington - She’d actually be better off quitting acting and becoming a full time democratic operative.

Jennifer Coolidge

Sunny Hostin

Anna Navarro

Kimberly Gargoyle

Kimberly Gargoyle is an actor?

Meryl has been brought down. She's doing Only Murders In The Building for Hulu.

Ana de Armas

Untalented hack actress. The person who she is sucking off needs to be exposed for unleashing that hack onto the masses.

Alan Kim

R234: Notice how she hasn't been nominated for an Oscar in like forever ever since Weinstein got locked up.

I do have to wonder who Ana de Armas has fucked to get where she is, that's the only explanation for her success. I couldn't even finish watching Blonde.

r230 r225 watch what happens with this thread, sweetie:

personally, I think it's more the state/burrough rivalry, she's very NY thru and thru. Also, there are many capable of separating their fanfare for a performer from their social masque. If I provided a summary of those with a negative perception - they seem to be most annoyed that she acts like she's in her twenties and they would hate to be stuck in a store with her as she and her frequent companions tend to take over the store, whether or not they actually purchase anything. My own perception ofher is someone that is introverted and presented minded, comes off like a little add and stoner like, pleasant enough. She's New Yorker, thru and thru, which sets off east coast - west coast rivalries but I respect she's a bit of a troll and a has a natural gift of pissing off everyone else around her, which is where she seems to be the most outgoing of being one of the terrible children.

Yeah r239 she's like a lot of NYC Jewish girls. Love 'em.

Melissa Leo

Every interview I've seen or read with her is dripping with a confidence she has not earned and immense condescension to fellow actors.

R241 She has a such a punchable face.

I was going to say Lance Kerwin and Adam Rich.

I guess the Grim Reaper thought the same thing.

Never understood the Julia hate on DL. The gays normally LOVE larger than life female movie superstars with high end cuntitude that don't take shit from anyone. Our Julia fits that mold.

It's actually mostly only on DL. Even Chelsea Handler said at the Critics Choice Awards that EVERYONE loves Julia Roberts.

I always think she’s okay when I end up watching her in something, but I never seek out her movies.

I did think her season of HOMECOMING was interesting… especially all the old movie music they used.

All nepo babies and their enabling parents. No, it’s not a ‘family business’.

I've seen a number of JR movies, and never really enjoyed her that much. The only two I did like her in was the movie 'Stepmom' from the 90s and her recent portrayal of Martha Mitchell in the Netflix series 'Gaslight'. Everything else - including 'Pretty Woman' - ehhh.

Tom Holland needs to be brought down - to my bedroom.

Zendaya she is talentless, overrated and a bore, zzzzz

She's not even that hot either, R250. She reminds me of a spindly old granny, just with less wrinkly skin.

Is Julia a nepo baby because her brother was already an Oscar nominated actor when she came to town?

Julia gets a pass because she far and away superseded her brother into legendary status. I'm still perplexed at the DL hate for her. The gays normally love a big bad bitch larger than life female movie star with cuntitude who doesn't take shit from anyone.

Sylvia Syms!

Andrea Riseborough!

Zachary Levi

That little enbie from "The Last of Us" needs a good beating down!

Most of the ones I really dislike the most have ALREADY been brought down a peg, and it only made them even worse:

Ezra Miller (brought down by arrests but has learned WB will back him no matter what)

Lea Michele (brought down by reports of nastiness on "Glee," but now lies about her past and is considered a hugely bankable Broadway star and the new Barbra Streisand for the B&T crowd)

Billy Porter (brought down by ruining his voice, now will not stop wearing his annoying repetitive dresses on the redcaropet while giving attitude)

Anne Hathaway (brought down by acting like an asshole before she won her Oscar, but won't shut up about it and still gets roles)

Tom Cruise (brought down by bizarre behavior when he got engaged to Katie Holmes, but still treated like a saint in Hollywood because his movies are so bankable)

Dylan O'Brien - he's turned into quite the asshole in recent times.

Lea Michele is one that got brought down from somewhere only she thought she was. She was never at a level where she could behave like she did and not have people call her out.

[quote] Richard Madden

R87 I think he already has been. His career is nowhere near as hot as his competition, he's getting beaten out for roles by newcomers like Paul Mescal, his Marvel film was a dud, his big new show for Amazon is having serious problems, he's not exactly the front-runner for Bond anymore (we'll see though), and he's known for basically being the 'twink-fucker', aka the gay/bi version of Leo DiCaprio.

Leo DiCaprio is the gay/bi version of Leo DiCaprio

Why actors? I know some tradesmen who could use some what-for.

[Quote] Dylan O'Brien - he's turned into quite the asshole in recent times.

Or maybe Dylan's always been an asshole but people are only starting to notice now because of his racist gf.

[Quote] Zoe Kravitz. From what I've seen of her, she appears to be on tranquilizers in all her performances.

I don't understand all the hype she got from Batman and now she's fucked her face up.

[Quote] Anyone who gives Taika Waititi a dime to make a movie after the coke-fueled shit brûlée he made out of Thor Love and Thunder is out of their mind.

Isn't he making another movie for Marvel? (Whilst fucking around with another actress).

Zoe Kravitz appeared to be on tranquilizers in The Batman, monotone voice and appeared bored with the whole thing. If I didn't know who she was or anything about her, I still would've been able to peg her as a nepo baby, i.e. "this talentless bitch must be related to someone."

Also, she was so emaciated it was distracting. She looked anorexic.

Closet Case Clooney. Someone needs to knock him off his soapbox the next time he lectures about justice and human rights while little brown Guatemalan children pick his Nesspresso coffee beans for a pittance. Or some disgruntled boyfriend needs to crash a red carpet while he and his man-faced beard are mugging for the cameras and started screaming "You said you LOVED me. Did that week in the on the private island mean NOTHING to you??"

^Delusional cunt strikes again.

Cate Blanchett and her pretentious vocabulary.

So sorry intelligence threatens you.

Not much of a vocabulary R268. She uses the same set of words all the time. Remarkable, Idiosyncratic, Monolithic lean into, equilibrium......

[quote] So sorry intelligence threatens you.

You're coming off as a try hard and obnoxious cunt. Repetitive words. An intelligent person has a more expansive vocabularyand does not repeat the same set of words

I said one quote and the news repeated it over and over. That's how news works, fool.

[quote] said one quote and the news repeated it over and over. That's how news works, fool.

Uhm no. I have eyes and ears. I have seen you at awards shows repeating the same set of words over and over and over ....

You're just OCD.

See how dumb you are R274, you don't even know what OCD means

You constantly troll over and over and over...

Connor Jessup. He thinks he's an "artiste", but he's just some average actor from Canada.
