Default Farrell, Vaughn, Stiller...

Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller. Probably my least favorite actors.

Will Farrell is just plain annoying. His characters are immature and idiotic. Which on a certain level is entertaining (I did like Elf). I think movies that I find entertaining, are completely ruined or at least side tracked if he has a small bit part. It's ashame, I think the guy does have talent and I think he could do well in some serious roles. I understand it's his schtick and all, but branch out, man. I haven't seen the recent movie where he has a narrator. That looks like it might be entertaining.

Vince Vaughn is just loud. Ever here of speak softly and carry a bike stick? It's like he's always yelling at the top of his lungs. Why, why, why? Wedding crashers was good, though, and even Farrell didn't completely ruin it (but his part was completely unnecessary) and yes, he was entertaining in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But DOES HE HAVE TO FRIGG'N YELL ALL THE TIME!

Ben Stiller is less annoying. What I don't like, is that many of his parts has to do with him being an idiot. ALL of the trouble his characters go through is completely related with him trying to cover something up which always propels itself further and further into idiotic move after idiotic move. Just tell the f'g truth and move on. Though, he has been in quite a few movies that I liked.

I just saw Tropic Thunder the other night. I have to say, I was expecting the worse damn movie this year. I have to say, I was pleasantly entertained. Holy crap...is that Robert Downey, Jr? I forgot it was him a few times. There were quite a few parts where I actually LOL'd. Tom Cruise's part was entertaining, but I was curious, was he acting or is that how he is in real life? After seeing some clips of him, I can't really be sure.

Will Farrell does suck, too one dimensional, but Vince Vaughn has a way of delivering his lines that I find funny (kinda like Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys). What I like about Ben Stiller is how he reacts to the other person in the scene when he is playing the straight guy. I don't care for him when he is the guy that is running the scene.

The actor I can't stand the sight of in a comedic role isJim Carrey, he was great in 'the number 23' but everything else he is just overacts and isannoying after a while. I'm glad his carreer is over.

I thought my performance was particularly good in "The Rodfather".

P.S. I like all those guys mentioned in the title.
