If a new movie has _______ starring/costarring, I know it will be good; who goes in the blank?

May 29, 2012 5:30 PM

All hits, all the time! It depends on your movie preferences, of course, but it seems that all the stars eventually are in a movie that disappoints.

The name that has come to mind for me is Denzel Washington; always way-good movies. How about you?

My grandson would say Lightning McQueen; but he has been pretty much typecast out of any role but playing a car.

For me, Meryl Streep gets me to the movies every time.

I don't have any for "starring/costarring" but if it says "Written and directed by Joss Whedon," I'm willing to camp out at the theater for weeks just to see it.

Yes, this is a joke.
By the way, did you see that he is trying to make a sequel of "In The Army Now" with Andy Dick? I can't wait for the collector's edition box set for both movies when it comes out. :)

I watch anything with Jason Statham. Statham kicking but for 90 minutes always entertains me. I would of said Kevin Bacon but he has made his fair amount of stinkers, "Beauty Shop" being at the top of the list.

No actor/acrtress doesn't have some "pass" movies on their record, so it's a tough call.

Might seem like an odd ball answer, but I've enjoyed pretty much all of Seth Rogan's movies. Russel Crowe too.

@captainsuperdawg: Yeah, I'm the same way when it comes to Whedon. I'm not a big fan of horror movies, but I went to see The Cabin in the Woods (and enjoyed it). Before it started I was a little anxious and just keep repeating (in my head...please tell me it really was just in my head) "I trust Joss Whedon". I have the same reaction to Joss Whedon tv shows, webisodes and comic books (and everything else the guy has ever made).

Wow, great response from the community. So many great actors! To Denzel Washington, I'd add Morgan Freeman, Meryl Streep, and Robin Williams to my list.

Jeremy Renner is quickly becoming a favorite. Hurt Locker was brilliant and despite just being a supporting character I though he was great in both Avengers and MI 4.

I'm excited to see the new "Bourne" movie because he's the lead. My wife thinks he should be the next Bond, assuming he can do a passable British accent.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
