Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted August 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Calm down. And yes. Isn’t that why people are posting names of who they think everyone loves and then it’s up for debate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted August 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Sir Christopher Lee gets my vote. The chap played so many cool parts from Saruman to Dracula to a Bond Villain. He was Lord Summerisle (my personal favourite role). He fought in World War 2 and made a heavy metal album at the age of 91 years old. He spoke 9 languages. Then there's that great story about Peter Jackson trying to tell him the sound to make to accurately play a man getting stabbed in the back and he replied by telling him what a man actually does in that scenario, based on his war service. In short, one of the most remarkable men of our times and I can't imagine anybody disliking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the anime too, but I thought the film was very good and was glad that it wasn’t just a carbon copy. It just goes to show how quickly things have changed in the attitudes towards the casting of roles. When Dallas Buyers Club came out 5 years ago, no-one mentioned anything about the casting choices. If it was made today, Matthew McConaughey would have a Twitter-mob giving him shit for not having AIDS. I remember years back when I was in China, the film Memoirs of a Geisha was receiving some backlash because the lead was a Chinese actress playing a Japanese role. Obviously, there are many historical reasons as to  why this caused issues in those countries, but I don’t recall hearing anything about it in english/western media Yeah, that was something I ranted about too; more about the silence on the subject than the actual casting, which was bad enough. As to McConaughey, I don't think anyone would've given him shit for playing someone with HIV, because not only have people with HIV been represented, and represented sensitively (Dallas Buyers' Club and Philadelphia are the two off the top of my head), but also there have been many notable performers either living with HIV or who have sadly passed from it.

I seem to remember a lot of flak flying around her regarding something to do with Kim Kardashian but I don't remember specifically what it was.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Someone mentioned Dwayne Johnson earlier. That gets a veto from me because he throw little tantrums on Twitter whenever he happens upon people who don't like his movies. Also, he uses that 'crying eyes laughing' emoji a lot and I REALLY have an irrational hatred of that. Rik Mayall is shoe in, even if 'Drop Dead Fred'Â doesn't hold up well all these years later, especially that final 1/3. Woof. Everyone in comedy seems to love Billy Connolly. He get a vote from me. Bruce Springsteen too, don't know of anybody who actually has a dislike of The Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 So who is unhateable so far, just John Candy? I bet Katie Hopkins hated him, she seems the sort. I wonder if part of the universal love for someone has to do with how threatening they seem? Not many handsome/beautiful people are universally loved and it would explain why a bunch of blokes are hesitant to throw any women's name in to the hat.

deathrey Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Edit: regarding the Chloe Grace Moretz/Kim Kardashian situation. From my limited knowledge of the situation, I think Chloe should be applauded for her comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only her idiot fans would take her side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongStyle Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Veto on Millie Bobbie Brown. She's only a kid so it would be unfair to say I dislike her or anything like that, but I find the over-exposure of the Stranger Things kids grating and it's unnerving how they insist on behaving like or being perceived as adults. Except Gaten Matazzaro, he's just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
