lmao @ "Serious Brooders club"

It's hard to argue with that list.

I think I agreed with every word he said.  Except maybe the Forrest Gump, and Bach. Party part.

Tom Hanks doesn't deserve to be there.

I think Keanu belongs with the 'already down' guys he mentions at the beginning.

What, no Kate Beckinsale, who managed to get through 3 hours of Pearl Harbor without changing facial expressions even once, an acting feat that even the great Brando never achieved, although he came very, very close in Apocalypse Now AND the Missouri Breaks...

her exquisite work in Underworld, and Underworld 2  cancels that out

I can't argue with any of the names on that list except for Hanks. My opinion is 180* from his. I like Hanks a lot more now than I did when he was running around trying to be silly (except for Forrest Gump. I hated that one).

and Ben Stiller truely blows.

Who cares? If the movie is entertaining then what difference does it make? Now if the story is good but the movie sucks pond water through a bent straw because of the acting then it matters.

But in the end if the movie makes money does it really matter? Everyone has their favorite. It's kind of like wine. Experts pick the best wine and give it an award. They talk about the body and legs of the wine, flavors like cherry, wood, etc... But in the end what matters is what you like. If it is a $2.85 half gal of MadDog then to you that is the best wine in the world. It doesn't matter what the expert says.

I'd disagree with McConaghey and Stiller.  Neither is out of this world, but McConaughey shown a lot more in some smaller and indie type films than what he's being criticzed for in this article, and yes, too much stiller over the top can be grating, but if that's what the studios/directors are asking to pump out...

Can't imagine how Keanu is not on that list either.  I say replace him with Tom Hanks.  Keanu is basically Johnnie Utah in every movie he plays.

Actually, the subject is 'Overrated', not worst.

No Ben Affleck, either?
