So whats bad acting? bad acting hall of shame

I collected this very opinionated acting post from acting forums, bulletin boards and sites all over the internet. I do not necessarily agree with some of these choices for the bad acting hall of shame, but I love the opinions anyway.

At the top we have Lindsey… honors for biggest waste of 10 bucks!

Moviegoers tagged Lindsey Lohan with the year’s worst performance by an actress (3.8 million of them!).

Fifty-eight percent of voters in an online poll by AOL’s Web site Moviefone gave Lohan that dubious honor for her turn as a woman escaping a sadistic killer in the box-office flop, “I Know Who Killed Me.”

The poll, which tallied more than 3.8 million votes, had more bad news for the starlet…

Another of Lohan’s films, “Georgia Rule,” finished second among voters for biggest waste of $10 spent on a movie ticket.

Some more opinions…

Gary Shandling in Over the Hedge. Laziest voice acting I’ve ever heard.

Brad Pitt when does Oirish. A slap in the face to everyone in the country.
Orlando Bloom in Troy. (he did a decent job in Kingdom of Heaven though).

Everyone in the starwars movies. All of them.

Faye Dunaway in supergirl

Robert in Rocky and Bullwinkle

Who can forget Demi Moore’s pitiful performance in Striptease? yes, this is a bit old… but it is such a classic.

One more time… Everyone in the 3 newer Star Wars Films

I gotta say, I may agree with that opinion. I thought the 3 newer Star Wars films had the worst casting ever… of anything. Picking the worst of that bunch is another, very long post. There is a site called just sick shit, I am surprised they do not have a Star Wars section under sick video.

Why do they keep killing off Liam Neeson in big films? If they had kept him then maybe starwars would not have stunk up the place.

Corporate Spies called John should be neutered.

Vince Vaughn in everything he’s in.
Colin Farrell in everything he’s in, probably with the exception of Tigerland.
The entire cast of Roland Emmerich films.
With the exception of Ian McKellan, the cast of DaVinci Code.
Jeno Reno in Pink Panther, he knew it was a turkey while filming it.
The kid that played Anakin Skywalker in Phantom Menace.
Hayden Christensen for the same role as above

Katie Holmes in Batman Begins.

Keira Knightly and Matthew McFadyen in Pride and Prejudice. Dreadful interpretation of the characters, wooden performances, no chemistry.

Colin Farrell in Alexander. Hilarious.

Kevin Costner as Robin Hood. LOL.

Steve Martin in the Pink Panther. Painful to watch.

Halle Berry as Catwoman. Similarly Sharon Stone in the same movie.

Clive Owen in King Arthur.

and even this, for anyone who has cable, OK, this is a commercial, but all this fool does is smile… badly.

The Worst Acting Job In The World Is Occupied By That Enzyte Guy

From last years Razzies, we get this opinion I found on the huffingtonpost

LOS ANGELES — Advice for actors looking to get nominated for worst performance: multiple roles help. Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy scored multiple nominations Monday for the Razzies, which sort out the worst that Hollywood dredged up the previous year.

Lohan’s thriller, “I Know Who Killed Me,” in which she plays two characters who may or may not be the same person, received a leading nine Razzie nominations, among them worst picture of 2007.

Murphy’s “Norbit,” released amid a film-honors season that earned Murphy an Academy Awards nomination for “Dreamgirls” last year, received eight Razzie nominations, five of them for Murphy alone, more than anyone has ever gotten in a single year.

Besides worst picture, “Norbit” had nominations for Murphy as worst actor in the title role, supporting actress as Norbit’s beefy wife, supporting actor as an Asian man and worst screen couple for Norbit opposite either of Murphy’s other characters. Murphy also shared a screenplay nomination for co-writing “Norbit.”

“We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations,” said Razzies founder John Wilson.

Finally, worst of last year is made official by the inquirer, wait… I think these have already been mentioned, repeatedly… but hey,it WAS that bad!

Eddie Murphy and Lindsay Lohan were crowned the worst actors of 2007 at the Golden Raspberry Awards on Saturday and, perhaps not surprisingly, neither star showed up to accept the spoof Oscars.

For their lack of acting prowess, the veteran comic and the young actress with the hard-living reputation each won three gold spray-painted Razzie trophies worth $4.89 (P198) each.

The annual honors were announced by the Golden Raspberry Foundation at a presentation that pokes fun at the Academy Awards ceremony Monday.

Murphy, who starred in the critically savaged comedy “Norbit,” set a record by winning three of the four worst acting categories. Despite bad reviews, moviegoers had turned out for the film, which took in $158 million (P6.4 billion) at worldwide box offices based mostly on Murphy’s popularity.

Lohan won two worst actress awards for playing twins in “I Know Who Killed Me,” a film that was named worst of the year.

Its all about entertainment isn’t it?

The worst acting, maybe ever

This is pretty funny, this is a compilation video of what this person was the absolutely worst acting, ever. You know what, he may be right. We have a few great categories for worst acting here including “worst death scene” and “worst stunt”.

So bad its hilarious.

Actually, I kinda liked the sliding horse stunt, bad… yes, But so inventive. It looks like a stiff, dead horse sliding on pavement then magically coming back to life and galloping away. Awesomely BAD!

5 ways to spell terrible film

Here is Mr, Bagley’s take on 5 ways to really spell terrible film or even more so an acting career disaster. When looking acting projects to stay well away from, this may offer some guidelines. No one ever wants to be associated with a film flop, especially, when everything including the acting is in question.

Anyway, check out these movie reviews of stuff no one even wants to hear of.

Here are five more movies you think would be really better than they are, unfortunately for the films, the scripts, the direction, and the actors, they are not.

Love Letters – 1 Star (Terrible)

Love Letters is a terrible, terrible, terrible film. One of the five worst films every made among those that give a pretense of actually being good while being awful, compared to those films you know are bad and do not disappoint.

This stupid story line has two adults reading letters they sent to each other over their entire life, sitting on tall furniture, gazing down as the past action unfolds.

Love Letters is beyond bad. It butchers a possibly good story line, has poor direction, poor production, poor acting, poor everything. There is not a redeeming quality in this piece of garbage, not even the opening, or credit lines.

The film does not even introduce itself, it takes 5 minutes to realize how bad the film really is; after 10 minutes I put Love Letters on fast forward, and it did not get any better in fast forward. Even the dialogue is bad to awful.

The only worse movie I can think of ever seeing is “Pat” (the androgynous character on Saturday Night Live), and that movie I expected to be terrible, and it was. The acting performances in Love Letters were absolutely juvenile, with no depth, no character development, and no delivery worth talking about. These were not 2nd and 3rd rate actors but 8th and 9th rate actors.

What a piece of nothing this turned out to be; I was beyond disappointed. I expected a decent attempt at a relationship movie and could not have been more let down.

Monster-in-Law – 1 Star (Terrible)

Monster-in-Law has a lower class girl (Jennifer Lopez) meeting a rich family doctor (Michael Vartan), and a future mother-in-law (Jane Fonda) who decides to drive away the bride, only to do herself in, discovering that the bride has as much backbone as she does.

This film is strictly entertainment and humor; there really is no story line as you know who is getting together at the end, and it will all work itself out when the comedy skits are over. I have seen Lopez do a better job in better films, such as Maid in Manhattan.

The Fast Runner – 1 Star (Terrible)

The Fast Runner, a foreign film in the Inuktitut language with English subtitles, is about Eskimo life and culture on the tundra in Alaska. I promise you this is not filmmakings’ crowning achievement. It may not even be Eskimo filmmakers’ crowning achievement; if it is, Eskimo filmmaking is in serious trouble.

The Fast Runner, also known by the title Atanarjuat, goes on and on for 172 minutes (call it 3 hours), which is about 1½ hours too long.

Myths and Logic of Shaolin Kung Fu – 1 Star (Terrible)

This film lets you know early on that the best Kung Fu fighting style-Shaolin-comes from the monks in China. The Myths and Logic of Shaolin Kung Fu is a sketchy, historical account of how the monks train and learn to simultaneously become a religious as well as a deadly fighting machine.

These future monks begin before age 10 and never really end a lifelong quest to become a master in this fighting style; dividing their time equally between spiritual development and physical prowess. You will be amazed at the physical skills of these boys before they are 10 years old.

Myra Breckenridge – 1 Star (Terrible)

This is Gore Vidal’s then (1970) controversial film about Myron Breckenridge, a man who goes to Europe for a sex change operation and comes back as Myra Breckenridge (played by Raquel Welch, who I did not like in the movie), a man-hating woman.

It is not clear in the movie if Myra still retains her male parts, not that it is important to the movie, because this film is garbage with no script flow, no message, no acting and an even worse presentation. Myra Breckenridge had a chance to deliver some information and a message about its theme, but failed miserably.

I cannot even begin to imagine what Gore must have been doing when he attempted to write this script. Film efforts like Vidal’s do not increase understanding, but encourage prejudice and ignorance about a controversial topic. This is one bad example of filmmaking, and deserves to die a slow death.
