Actors
 

Which actors do you like? Any whose name on a poster will almost guarantee you'll watch the movie regardless of what it's about, simply because they're in it?

Steve Coogan

rebecca hall: smokin'!


kate winslet: yum

and she's in good movies lately.

Edward G Robinson. I like him, and he played only in good movies, as far as I know.
Kirk Douglas. Same, plus he improves any movie by his presence.

vin diesel! did you know he's half-black?

Good call on both of those, especially Kirk Douglas. He did do some stinkers (Saturn 3!:eek:) but I can only imagine how much worse they would've been without him.

He made a great Popeye, too.

kirk douglas = spartacus = UTTER SHIT

Yes, but how much shitter would it've been without him?!?

considering he's the one who ruined it, not shittier at all

HaHa. I disagree, but can't argue with your logic.

no, really, it's historic fact that kubrick interfered with the production to ham it up, the fucking actor, which he did successfully, but thus ruining the movie. kubrick then "disowned" the picture as he didn't have creative control of it.

ps:
plenty of info here, but i read more elsewhere:

Jane Fonda's one for me (workout videos aside)



And Alan Bates (the one man I might have gone a bit gay for)

I didn't know any of that, so thanks. It certainly seems like you're right. Although I'm personally not a fan of Kubrick it does indeed look as though all of Spartacus' shittiness can be placed squarely at the feet of Douglas. And there was me spending all those years blaming it all on Tony Curtis.

it's because of the beard, isn't it?

Clint Eastwood.

I will watch anything he directs or acts in. No problem.

BIRD is a masterpiece.

I don't really pay attention to actors but I'd watch something with Takeshi Kitano in it regardless of what the movie is.

ah HELL YES. HELL THE FUCK YES.

Haha. Settle down symbol man.

Takeshi Kitano is my favorite actor. I also enjoy Ryuhei Matsuda, Kazuya Nakayama, Tadanobou Asano, Kaori Momoi, Ryosuke Miki, Yuya Uchida, Masumi Okada, Hiroki Matsukata, Hiroshi Katsuno, Daijiro Harada, Daisaku Akino, Chisato Amate, Kenichi Endo, Ryuuji Harada, Yoshio Harada, Renji Ishibashi, Tsurtaro Kataoka, Andy Lau, Anthony Wong, Shinya Tsukamoto, Kirin Kiki, Kazuhiro Mashiko, Hideji Otaki, Tokitoshi Shiota, Shun Sugata, Haruna Takase, Hiroyuki Nagato, Mari Nakayama, Ken Ogata, Susumu Terajimi, Taro Yamamoto, Joe Yamanaka, Rikiya Yasuoka..

and Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Robert DeNiro.
