Bad Actors

Going to go with Nicolas Cage also, maybe it's the movies he starred in that were bad and not him.
No, it was him.

And I will throw in Brad Pitt. Last thing I saw was 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' which I really liked,
but Brad just seemed to 'walk' though his scenes; Best Supporting Actor? For opening a can of Dog food?

Let the attacks begin...:)

... In the old days, the technology was very basic so they had to have great acting. Watch Betty Davis, Humphrey Bolgart or Burt Lancaster for starters.

I think there was an unlimited supply of bad actors even "back then" but with the passing of time, we only remember the great ones. I mean, who remembers Rory Calhoun, Robert Mitchum, Bob Denver, Marlo Thomas .......

..... Now, it seems to be a musical sound track instead of good acting. In the action films there is so much computer graphics that the acting is not important; or so it seems.

You got that right! It's very irritating stuff in modern films:
* sound track
* computer graphics
* car chases
* ten-minute long fight scene in the finale.

I am so fed up with it that when a car chase is in progress or a fight scene is more than 1 minute long I turn the TV off. I don't care how the film ends because I feel insulted.
 
I still watch some movies with Vin Diesel in them though. He's kind of a loveable character, like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson who also is a lousy actor, but his facial expressions are da bomb.

I don't have cable but I do buy DVDs from Amazon. When I see a long, silly car chases, such as "The Streets of San Francisco" or "Cannon", I just fast forward. The same for silly bar fights in "Rawhide" or Gunsmoke." Some of the John Wayne movies had totally stupid fights that never made sense. Men getting hit over the head with fake chairs and cowboys flying through phony windows never did anything for me. I enjoy the story and the conversation in that story. I leave those silly car chases and fights to the little kiddies. Maybe, they enjoy it?

Jim Carey's comedy usually turned me off, but I could stand him in The Truman Show. I used to think Robin Williams was literally a man off his nut, but he did okay in Patch Adams and What Dreams May Come. These people work hard when they aren't being divas. Some of the stuff they have to do to earn a living. I wouldn't want to be them.

We also enjoyed him in "The Truman Show." Other movies - -so-so
 
Dare I say i liked his last movie. a good plot covers a lot of cast deficiencies, how you gonnn'a pan a movie with Jimmy Stewart and Lauren
Bacall. providing ample space for John Wayne to be John Wayne.

Henry Morgan was a hoot,
(you remember Dragnet, Morgan was Jack Webb's stone face partner)
