lazycrockett said: WaterInYourBath said: Yes, I do.  I meant what I said, lol. Carrie Underwood, and even Kelly Pickler sing better than Taylor too. I have relatives who love country music, so I'm aware of what a good voice sounds like in that genre.
If Swift had started out older, instead of a teenager talking about high school drama, she would not be as popular as she is. Young girls are keeping her famous, lol. Duh that's why shes A. Don't confuse popularity with talent. If that was the case Vadge would still be waiting tables.

Haven't seen her act since the TV stuff she did in the '80s ('70s?), so I don't know about that. She seems to lip-synch an awful lot. She's not my type, but I know a buncha guys dig her. If they didn't, would they give a flying fig about her?  Her whole persona gets on my tits. | |

So many people give reality TV a bad rap when, ironically, it's probably better for you than 99% of fiction. | |

[Edited 1/18/10 1:51am] You like her. I think she sucks. But it's not important that we disagree. We're aloud to disagree. 
What's important is that ultimately, she sucks despite our individual differences of opinion. | |

you are a funny fucker. Poor old Janet - are we bashing her again? Actually, I like a fair number ofher songs, her Rhythm Nation tour was a lot more fun than her brothers, but her voice is pants,yes, pants. | |

CarrieMpls said: bboy87 said: Michael Cera definitely belongs in the list He plays the same character in every movie  I love Michael Cera, though. I agree, his characters are all variations on a same theme, but I think he knows his strengths and plays to them well. In a few years he'll really be able to branch out, but he'll always have that Michael Cera thing, no matter what. I think that's awesome. I think he's gonna be like this generation's John Cusack. He didn't exactly have a Lloyd Dobler role, but it's kinda close. The lovable nerd/dork/whatever just outside of center. There will be a certain kinda girl that's gonna remember that fondly for the rest of her life and there will always be that "awww..." kinda thing and he'll be able to find roles for the rest of his life. so what you're saying is you're a hipster and Cera is obviously the indie-rock Robert Pattinson... everyone's a fruit & nut case | |

cameron diaz george clooney jennifer aniston I loved Cameron in Mask, but she started to play the SAAAAME "air head/dumb blonde" role since [i]My Best Friend's Wedding[/i, nothing about this woman screams a stretch. Now George lol gooooorgeous as he is, it still ain't enough to keep me up 1/2 way through his movies, lord that man bores me. Loooove Rachel Green, can't stand Jennifer Aniston. ALL of her movies are centered around the same role; the good girl Like Cameron, no stretch.
Ok, now for my list: Nicole Kidman - How is this walking corpse a hollywood royalty is beyond me. Tom Cruise - Intense,,,,,ALL. THE. TIME. my god.
Will Smith - I'm sorry, I STILL can't stop cringing whenever I see him in a "serious" role, he'll always be the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with those pair of big ass plates on each side of his head. Renee Zellweger - The girl with the permanent "tart taste" facial expression. | |

Renee Zellweger - The girl with the permanent "tart taste" facial expression. I like Nicole Kidman. She was excellent in the film "Australia." Plus, I think she has a great face for the screen, like Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie. I think they're all good actresses.
I like Will Smith as well, but I can't help but to laugh at him, since he always runs down a street, hollers, and gets angry in all of his movies. My uncle said that Will is the modern day Carl Weathers.
But Jennifer Aniston? I totally agree with you and Priceless. I don't understand why she's an A-list celebrity.  "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Plus, I think she has a great face for the screen, like Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie. I think they're all good actresses. I love Ms.Jolie, even more than her daddy  (and I prefer 70s movies btw).
I think the folks who undermine her talent paid more attention to the "off with the homewrecker's head" crusade they forgot that the girl is BAD  Gia, Girl Interrupted, The Bone Collector, Mr. & Mrs.Smith,,,I even loved her early film Hackers but my fave is and always will be The Original Sin
As for Nicole, her acting leaves me so cold I begin to think that the morgue must be a warmer place,,,,the woman seems like she goes through a painful process to pronounce her expressions. Like Scarlett Johansson, her only saving grace the choice of movies she make. As for Halle,,,,meh, I could take her or leave her. BUT the only film where she truly showed her true talent was "Losing Isaiah" IMO. Her next movie where she's having a split personality looks intersting though  [Edited 1/18/10 13:49pm] | |

i agree there's something so aloof about her, although i think its what helps her in some of her roles, like her characters in The Interpreter and The Hours. another one i never got was Ashley Judd when she used to be everywhere, her movie choices i often enjoyed, but i had to wait on the DVDs so i can FF the crying scenes. now: Original Sin
i love especially that last gambling scene. i also thought the chemistry between those two was just insane! | |

Now, I think its reverse when it comes to her. Good acting, bad movies. She & Angela Bassett are victims of bad directors, I'm positive that with the right approach, they could make good movies. I'd love to see her doing a Southern Belle ala Scarlett O'Hara type of role she has all the ingredients. | |

I love to hear them talk about how hard they work. I've played a leading role in a play once. It was exhausting.  .... but the level of stress isn't anything compared to waiting tables. | |
