Poll question: Which Actor/Actress would you most like to see retire altogether?
Which one could you never see again, and it would still be too soon?

2. cruise
I was never really a fan of his, but I did wonder about those rumors of him and Kyle Bradford.

6. I don't think there's a more overrated actress than Julia Roberts
And I don't think she's all that attractive either. She's got a mouth like a bear trap.

7. Meryl Streep
Highly overrated.

As convincing as a $3 dollar bill.

8. Freddie Prinze, Jr.
He can jump off a cliff as far as I'm concerned.

I like Tom Cruise. Not the best actor, but he has good taste (for the most part) as far as material is concerned.

I actually like some of the movies he's done (Minority Report, Vanilla Sky, Mission Impossible). Is that bad? :shrug:

9. EDDIE MURPHY
I HATE that guy. His movies SUCK.

And Mike Myers is going his way, as is Ben Stiller.

11. lol Does Ashton Kutcher qualify?
He is funny in that 70's show, however his movies are a different story and his show Punk'd is pretty good.

12. Actor who plays Damon on Y&R
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 02:07 PM by mvd
Keith Hamilton Cobb. Bad actor alert! And now he's taking up the interesting Phyllis's time. Almost Brock (Beau Kazer) level of bad. And at that former Ashley's level of bad.

But please keep all the soap actresses/former soap actresses that I have crushes on, regardless of if they have soap acting mediocrity or not: Sharon Case, Lauren Woodland, Aubrey Dollar, Deborah Zoe, Lindsey McKeon, Stephanie Gatschet (I put her in my top 30 over Kayla Ewell - only one place was in question after I went to 30.)

I wouldn't mind if Charlton Heston, Drew Carey, and Sandra Bullock quit for good.

15. I know - if I was a straight female, I could feel differently
:-)

I might put him in my protected list, even though the actresses in mine all have more acting talent, IMO.

I think Keith's hot too.
I also love Sharon Case and Lauren Woodland as well.

31. Personally, I think Jack and Phyllis have the chemistry
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 06:11 PM by mvd
Jack and Phyllis would naturally have rocky times, but I think they're great together.

:hi:

17. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere
I just think they pick lousy scripts or something, but I can't think of a single movie either of them has been in that I liked even a little.

24. MEG RYAN!
No question about it, I cannot STAND her; she, like Jack Nicholson, plays the SAME FUCKING PART over and over and over and over and over and over and over and everyone thinks she's just such a genius. I'M SO SICK OF HER! And Julia Roberts was a very close second, I'm almost as sick of that no-talent bitch, too!!

30. Agree 100%
I don't think Meg Ryan has played one significant part. And she is not good looking. Julia Roberts may have marginally more talent but she still sucks and has a horse's mouth.

36. Everyone's entitled to their opinion
But I think Meg Ryan is drop dead gorgeous and I've loved her in almost every role she has played -she is a first class actress.

37. I agree
Meg is the best romantic comedy actress, IMO. She exudes all of these: charm, lightheartedness and sophistication. And she showed range in Courage Under Fire. While I don't find her as attractive as say Reese Witherspoon and the soap actresses I mentioned, I do think she's pretty. :hi:

Der Schwarzeneggar should completely retire and go live on a ranch somewhere clearing brush for the rest of its days.

27. Either (both) of the Stillers
Jerry Stiller isn't funny, and I will NEVER understand why Ben Stiller is a star. This is the most talentless pair of actors in the industry.

Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 06:12 PM by mvd
And two of the best actresses IMO are natural blondes - Reese Witherspoon and Charlize Theron.

I wouldn't mind if Bruce Willis retires. Or Elizabeth Hurley.

38. Sir Sean Connery
Look, I love the man's work (in fact, as a beefy male of Scots descent with more hair on my back than on my head, I consider him something of a role model in some ways). But he's gettin' a bit rickety, and his script-selection abilities-patchy at the best of times-will certainly let him down in years to come. He needs to devote himself full-time to his golf game so we can all remember him for pushing the I'd Still Do Him age threshold further than even Cary Grant would've dreamed possible.

40. Anthony Hopkins needs to bag it
...while his reputation is still strong. His performances are increasingly mannered, rote, and givashit, and, well, he's just not pretty anymore. In fact, I think he may have gotten ahold of the One Ring...
