I feel betrayed by Julia Roberts. She made great, smart movies until she won the Academy Award. Since then she has made nothing but crap, when she bothers to make anything at all. Her attitude to me seems like she quit after the Award, telling legions of young actresses that the AWARD is what you act for, not for telling a great story, touching people, changing things through storytelling, etc. I feel this way about any actor who quits after winning an AA.
Except Halle Berry because I never want to see her on film again. Ever.
Vin Diesel. Pitch Black was awesome. Chronicles of Riddick was…not. Of course, that could be the producers’ fault instead.
My husband and I broke up with Dennis Quaid after the atrocity that is “Day After Tomorrow.” He has stunk it up in every movie he has been in since. How is it possible to become a worse actor as you get older?
i feel a little betrayed by u2. the record is amazing, i love it. but they seem to be struggling right now. the tour isn’t a religious experience. i chalk it up to impossibly high expectations of them. but i miss zoo tv. the record is relevant to me, but they don’t seem to want to accept turning 50.
I’m going to say I felt betrayed by the American public for making Transformers 2 the highest grossing movie this year. SERIOUSLY!?!?!??
John Tuturro in both Transformers films. He totally was wrong for the part, so wrong that it looked embarresing to see him there.
John Voight in Anaconda
*wink*
Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea
“You think water’s fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once. It got a taste for murder!
When the avalanche came… (Samuel glowers at everyone with impossibly angry white eyes)
…it took us a week to climb out. And somewhere we lost hope. I don’t know when we turned on each other. I just know that seven of us motherf***ers survived the slide… …and only five motherf***ers made it out.
Now, we took an oath that I’m breaking now. Swore that we’d say it was the snow that killed the other two. Now I’d like that, but that s*** ain’t the truth. Nature can be lethal. But it doesn’t hold a candle to man. You’ve seen how bad things can get and how quick they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse!
So we’re NOT GONNA FIGHT ANY MORE! We’re gonna be like underwater Fonzies. And what’s Fonzie like?”
(ashamed scientists): He’s cool.
“Correct-amundo! And that’s what we’re gonna be. See when you yell at each other, I get nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when motherf***ers get scared, that’s when motherf***ers get accidentally eaten. See normally your heretic asses would be dead as f***’in fried chicken for screwin’ with God’s Creation. But you happened to pull this evil science s*** while I’m in a transitional period, so we’re all going to pull together and find a way to get out of here!”
Talk about betrayl. I still remember a friend of mine and I laughing our tails off when the shark devoured him like a peanut butter sandwich.
This may sound like a weird example, but when I saw Ellen Page in “Smart People,” I felt betrayed, even though it was made before “Juno.” In it, she plays a 17 year old overachiever. The movie wasn’t that bad was she has a scene in the film where she tells her college professor father, played by Dennis Quaid why she doesn’t have to care about people, which is because she is smart. I can understand that the characters played by Quaid and Page aren’t supposed to be likable but that scene was just repulsive and because the film wasn’t that good makes me think she did the film just because she thought her character was charming. I felt betrayed by Matt Damon when he went on his rant against James Bond. There’s nothing wrong with disliking James Bond, but I found the way he talked about Bond was pretty tasteless, especially since Bond does have a big fan base. The same goes for Page in her bashing of “The Breakfast Club”. The film has fan base and while I’ve only seen the film on T.V, only about once, it seems unfair of her to criticize a film that is well liked. I find that criticizing a film as being sexist can make people who like the film feel awkaward. It also seems hypocritcal since one quote associated with Page is one in which she says you shouldn’t judge people on what you don’t understand. I guess it’s okay for her to judge John Hughes. I know these examples are different than the other posts but I personally feel betrayed by these two actors. P.S. Joaquin Phoenix’s behaviour, if it isn’t a hoax, is disappointing.
