What actor do you hate but secretly like?

Jun 22, 2012 5:04 PM

I have always said that I really dislike Chevy Chase, yet some of his movies (Vacation series, Three Amigos, Caddyshack) are my absolute favorites. Is there any actors that are like this for you?

I think it's possible to not like an actor's general body of work but still enjoy some of his/her work. for example, you couldn't drag me to a Rambo film, or pretty much anything where Stallone, playing it straight, grabs a gun and grunts, but I enjoy him when he's being funny. I've got a soft spot for the trio of "Oscar", "Judge Dredd" and "Demolition Man."

I wouldn't say I hate Christian Bale, but I dislike him only because of what I have heard about him as a person (which may or may not be true). I really do like his work, and honestly cannot wait for Dark Knight Rises.

By the way, UHF is one of my favorites, so you get up-votes for your username!

I use to feel this way with Leonardo Dicaprio, but I've come around.

@eraten: Oh, it's true and a good reason to not like him.

I despise Woody Allen and won't watch anything he is in. But I loved "Midnight in Paris" which he directed. It irks me to admit I like anything he is associated with, but I really did love that movie.

I agree with @elforman. I can't stand watching Will Ferrell's goofy movies, but really enjoyed him in Stranger Than Fiction and Everything Must Go.

P.S. - I love when they go to Taco Bell in Demolition Man !!

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.
