I know everyone's sick of hearing about Netflix's Cowboy Bebop being 12 metric tons of elephant shit, but watching another clip of Spike introducing Faye in the bathroom inspired me to write this. The interaction itself is incredibly boiler plate with inoffensive dialog, but her line delivery is just so awful that it seems to suck all the life out of John Cho's line introducing her, like the character itself is trying to hog the spotlight by being grating and eccentric. Daniella Pineda's acting style is just so tiresome and exaggerated throughout the entire series that it almost feels intended to mimic anime-style energy, but at the same time she just has such a "play the character MY way" attitude that she gets in her own way. I love good acting, but I love that special, standout bad acting like I love the last M&M in the bag that I know I'll never get back, I'd love to see some more if you guys and gals and faggoty furry pals can think of any good examples.
 
I just re-watched Silent Tongue. It's a western/ghost-story from the early 90's (River Phoenix's last movie). It's a great movie with good, understated acting all around, EXCEPT for Dermot Mulroney. His acting is fucking horrible. In retrospect I can't understand how he was so popular in the 90's.
 
The most obvious example today is Gal Gadot.
The bitch is literally just a pretty face and nothing else.

I knew how bad she was before Wonder Woman because she was in one of the worst movies ever made, Fast&Furious 4.
In that movie, she's the female lead, Diesel is the male lead.
Both of them can't act and have no charisma so, when they're the only 2 people on screen talking to each other, it's like watching 2 black holes trying to suck each other into the void.
She's so fucking bad that she couldn't change her stupid accent fo WW so instead, they made all the real actresses have the same dumb accent.
Even the 8 year old girl playing a young WW had to learn that accent.
Let me repeat that:
AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS FORCED TO LEARN HER ISRAELI ACCENT BECAUSE SHE'S SUCH A BAD ACTRESS.
When the DCEU will be rebooted eventually, this accent thing will be rightfully picked apart and her casting will be mocked.
She's so bad that people are actively avoiding her other movies.
Did you know that she was in a $200 million Dollar movie this year, co-starring The Rock and Ryan Reynolds?
Of course you don't, it made $2 million at the box office, nobody wanted to see another trashfire lead by the worst Hollywood actress of all time.

I might have more later but this is my go-to example.
 
I was watching Titans and the biggest problem is the script and how the characters are written, biggest problem imo is the actress who plays Starfire/Kori.

Either she's being given horrible directions or the actress herself can't act being sad/frustrated/shocked/angry. In the show itself Starfire is pretty bitchy and really is portrayed as this "nu-uh imma strong independent woman who dont need no man unless its fo a one night stand and I have amnesia but somehow know about earth customs and deliver the sas" and I guess that is the actress' forte?

The show should just be Gar and Conner exploring (urban) life
 
There’s a certain “something” that raises good acting about bad acting. Even one well-executed character can carry the whole thing. Sometimes you can just see that line being crossed: a series like (going back a bit) The Man In The High Castle was bad, there were just moments where the acting in high drama scenes of some characters came across as wooden rather than restrained, and I couldn’t go on with it.

But I remember in the old show Alias, a scene where Jennifer Garner reacted to seeing a dead body in her bathtub, and she just ugly-wailed so convincingly without trying to do the “pretty girl sobbing” that I was instantly sold for the rest of the series.
 
Pet Sematary has pretty shitty acting all around (with the exception of Fred Gwynne) but the guy that played the dad in that movie is the worst of them all by far. I was legit wondering for awhile if the actor was an autist because he puts zero emotion into his voice and delivers everything in the same monotone “I’m a robot poorly pretending to be a human” voice. Fucking Stephen King in his little cameo is a better actor.

Bro, that actor in that movie is "amazing" in general.


You may be shocked to know that aside from this he only played small parts on TV. What a tragically under-utilized talent.

It may seem like an obvious choice, but a thread about bad acting would be incomplete without The Room:


Most of the cast is awful, but Wiseau and the guy who plays Donny are notable for both of their performances being really weird on top of poorly acted. Donny comes across as really creepy because of how clingy and childish he acts, while Wiseau is... just Wiseau. The man comes across like a space alien impersonating human behavior after binge watching a bunch of soap operas.
 
I have to admit I can’t stand the ’still’ acting style of Nicole Kidman and Rosamund Pike. Virtually every scenario is ‘open eyes wide, part lips slightly, look vaguely puzzled’.
Idris Elba is the male equivalent, in that he has the same level of acting talent as Roger Moore, but none of the amusingly campy self-awareness of his limitations that made Moore so much fun to watch.

Seriously, the ’still’ acting technique that made Marlon Brando such a star has so many imitators and yet nobody else has ever pulled it off. Benedict Wong has had some pretty close moments, even in dreck like Deadly Class, so maybe it’s something that only fat old dudes can truly make it work

The new crop of actors and directors coming up now seem to be selected for connections, (((background))) and ‘social justice’ themes instead of talent and training. I expect the future of acting to be around the caliber of Beyoncé in ‘Goldmember’. Good luck with that, Hollywood. There’s a reason video games have eclipsed you economically.
 
I have seen dozens upon dozens of B- and Z-movies with entire casts who never acted in anything else. But the worst acting I've ever seen was in Red Sonja (1985). It's the only movie I watch dubbed because that skank Brigitte Nielsen is that awful.
