Chinatown? The Passenger? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Etc

Nicholson is quite diverse and pigeon-holing him is a bit of a stretch

I'll second Jack Nicholson. He usually plays awful gremlins and he's good at awful gremlins so maybe that makes him good but ehh...
Regardless, Shelley Duvall is the real MVP of The Shining <3

Have you seen as good as it gets?

Al Pacino

John Wayne
Jennifer Aniston
Gregory Peck
Audrey Hepburn
Katharine Hepburn
Jack Nicholson

So, if you consider those actors to be bad, then what makes an actor good?

Actually, most of those are actually good actors who made themselves bad. I didn't even get into people who are genuinely Bad actors that I can't stand. This would be people like , for instance, Adam Sandler and people like that. People who aren't even really actors.

I actually liked Adam Sandler in The Cobbler.

"Supposedly" is pretty condescending. Perhaps wording it better would allow people not to scoff at your suggestions that you implicate.

I think what he later said is he found them eventually formulaic.

Like Muse. I really like Muse, but they are incredibly formulaic, and therefore overtime I lost interest in them.

I wouldn't use those films as proof that Sandler can act so much as proof he can follow direction from a filmmaker who isn't gonna let his shit acting ruin their movie. He generally doesnt work with directors near the calibre of Anderson and Baumbach and I'd imagine that's not his decision.

I didn't say they were necessarily bad actors, I just said that I can't stand them. And the reason is that they're overly cutesy, and they're really just doing schtick and going for cheap Applause. They just keep repeating all their cutesy routines that got applause before.

He's a neither/nor for me. I couldn't give a shit one way or another about him. But I'm glad he didn't ruin Blade Runner.

He never bugged me too much. Most of the ones I listed are the kinds of actors that always seem to be playing themselves. and are real gimmicky. Kevin Costner never really struck me that way. not that I'm a fan or anything
