Liza Minelli in Arthur 1&2.

Never saw 2, but she was terrible in 1. She always struck me as nervous in any public appearance/film. A lot to live up to, and drugs, can make you nervous. She was said to be "coked up" during New York, New York. I've never seen that either.

The best, and first “coke movie” I recently caught up with was Martin Scorsese’s New York, New York, his amped-up, trying-too-hard, out-of-balance ode to ’40s musicals. Scorsese has admitted (as well as outing Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro) being coked to the gills on set, and it shows in every decision made,

She was the poster girl for bad 70's fashions.

Fast & Furious, to me, after #4, was ruined by adding Dwayne Johnson as Hobbs, which crippled that series. The series was always over the top, but his inclusion as the FBI superagent was like adding a cartoon character to the series. His constant camera preening, superficial machismo and lack of range in acting, to me, was bad casting. It gave a more comical approach to the script instead of bringing in someone that could have provided a darker, more serious tone.


I agree with your point, but not at 5. 5 wasn’t that much more over the top than 1-4. 6 pushed it. 7 & 8 as well as Hobbs and Shaw really pushed it to a point it was difficult to ignore, so I agree there.

Maybe someone like Idris Elba or Karl Urban.


Idris Elba’s character in Hobbs and Shaw is just as over the top Rock’s character.

Hayden Christensen as Anakin In the prequels was just awful. The kid in the first one wasn’t treat either.

This is spot on as it relates to Andy. Not bad in small doses but horrific in a main role.

My vote would be Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York. She is just fluff and I bet if you cut her out of the entire story, it’d still make sense and be even better of a film.

Tom Cruise ruined Jack Reacher. I'm not saying the Reacher movies were terrible.

But he certainly ruined the series by mis-casting himself.

Good one. Also, Hugh Jackman was born to play Jack Reacher. The guy that reads the audiobooks even sounds EXACTLY like Jackman. Reacher is 6’ 4” and has a very dry sense of humor in the books and Cruz just ruins it for me.
