i already know one of your overrated chicks

i can't think of a list, but since this was just a few days ago, i really don't get Kate Winslet. her acting doesn't seem to hold up well within a film, one scene she's good, the next she's so cold.

and i wish bjork would've gotten much more exposure.

Underrated - Clint Eastwood

Who?

Coz I changed my mind about some folks recently like Meryl Streep, I think she made me change my mind about her when she made "Doubt"

Couldn't disagree more. LOVE her. She deserves every accolade she gets.

CarrieMpls said:

I did like Kidman in To Die For, but mostly she is weaksauce.

Stax said:

I liked her in that too!
She's very pretty to look at most of the time but other than that I find her merely adequate if anything.

Have you ever done it?

Acting isn't rocket science. But to do it well (as with anything) does take talent and a certain amount of training.

Harlepolis said:

Hoffman, imo, is one of the greats...a really versatile guy...I just watched Charlie Wilsons War last nite...great performance

The most overrated male: George Clooney

Thats why I love him.

And am I crazy for even thinking that this guy has some kind of "sex appeal" in a sloppy, weird way?

I never understood the appeal of ANY of the actors on that TV series Friends.

Graycap23 said:

Non-threatening, quirky, dumb ass bunch. Thats why mainstream America is a sucka for Friends and all these blockbuster movies for the past 10 years.

Harlepolis said:

not at all...his appeal to you is just further evidence of his natural ablity...his character in Charlie Wilsons War was so intruiging that it made me wanna be him...overweight, smart, smart assed with a really bad porn 'stache, unafraid to speak his mind...quite frankly, my new hero

Harlepolis said:

Can't argue with that.....

Genesia said:

Actually, what I meant was that I find it strange that we value this skill.

Ace said:

These are the words of someone who has NEVER acted.

Overrated:

Jolie
Aniston
Streep, especially in Doubt.


Underrated:
Phillip Seymour Hoffman

The guy is a sponge. Whatever role he plays, it's like you aren't looking at him but the character he's playing
