Who's the worse actor?

Damn, that's a tough call! Magneto, DAMN YOU for giving us such a difficult question to answer! LOL As much as I consider Alba Talent-Free, I've still gotta go with Paul Walker. I still wince at the 45 seconds of Too Fast, Too Furious that I stupidly watched.

Walker was in Pleasantville and didn't embarrass himself.

Alba's... yeah, she sucks, no matter how hot she is.

Who really goes to see her movie for her acting ?!

If you want to talk about acting , Keanu Reeves is probably the most wooden A-list actor alive.

Alba. She's not hot, and she can't act.

But Paul Walker to answer your question. I happened to like Jessica in Dark Angel; she's rough around the edges but nowhere nearly as bad as Paul is.

Jessica Alba is a worse actor. I look at this way......how many movies of theirs have I enjoyed. I liked Alba in FF, Sin City.....and that is it. She really has shown much acting prowess (Not even in Dark Angel...I tried giving it a shot tons of times, and it just never worked for me.)

Paul Walker, while no Philip Seymour Hoffman, at least plays to his strengths while acting. He does enjoyble, fluff fare, like Fast and Furious, Joy Ride, 8 Below (I saw this last night with the girls, and it was quite enjoyable.) He knows he is just eye candy right now, and he does not report to be anything but.

LOL. It's a good thing both of them are so attractive because neither of them is very good. I'd have to say Paul Walker because he sounds like a "surfer dude" all the time. Jessica is getting a little better. She was ok in Fantastic Four but I don't see her winning an Oscar anytime soon.

You'd be amazed at how many of Alba fans at IMDB think she's good enough to win an Oscar one day. lol

Well, you can count me in as a fan of Jessica Alba when she was on Dark Angel. I loved the show. So she won't win an Oscar, it's not the end of the world.

Me.

You wanna make a career on your looks, that's fine. Go be a model. But get the hell out of my movies.

Between the two, I have to give the worse actor nod to Walker. He's the same guy in every movie. Alba doesn't have a great range, but it's wider than Walker's right now. Still, I don't go to see either of their movies for great drama. I go to see violence, gross out humor, and/or half dressed women.

Paul Walker is "better", but it's easier to hide Alba's acting flaws (yes, even non-sexually).

Yes; surround Alba with a slew of stronger actors and keep her in a "supporting character" role. Worked in Sin City and Never Been Kissed.

Alba is no Paris Hilton.

Did anyone catch her as Barbara Eden in an episode of American Dreams ?

Fuck, that girl's no-talent is breathtaking !

True. But she's mediocre *at best*.

It's funny; when Alba was on Dark Angel, she wasn't that bad as an actress (okay for TV anyway). Perhaps the silver screen is absorbing all of her acting powers.

Perhaps the silver screen is absorbing all of her acting powers.No, her acting killed that show for me. Well, along with the writing, which didn't help her at all, to be fair. But it seemed so obvious that the producers decided to get the prettiest face they could find rather than the best actor for that role - in contrast to the series it appeared to be trying to emulate, Buffy, which always seemed to try to cast the best actor for any particular part, at least for the first several seasons.

Why would you make a thread like this? Paul Walker is a piece of garbage. Alba is decent and just needs more roles like her "Sin City" intrigue.

I have newfound respect for Paul Walker because of this quote

(re: celebs and the papparazzi)
"All these people who complain and bitch about it ... move. Get the fuck out. You don't like the press, why the hell are you shopping on Rodeo Drive? Come on, it's easy to disappear if you want to."

and this one
(re: Jessica Alba)

"Come on, dude, you know what I'm looking at. I couldn't take my eyes off that ass. I'm sorry. She's beautiful. And she's such a pain in my ass, too. But that's what I love about her. She's the kind of girl you just want to have angry sex with for the rest of your life because it's just that good."

The man ain't afraid to tell it like it is.

Al Pacino is severely overrated. SHOUTING IS NOT ACTING! He hasn't done any great work since Dog Day Afternoon, except maybe Insomnia, but everybody keeps giving him the respect that he no longer deserves. I think Jessica Alba is at least as good as Pacino these days. Pacino should be better, but he just substitues volume for quality.

I don't think so. I assume he was just talking about what it's like to work with her. Which is why it's awesome.

I think Keanu wins the prize for worst A list actor still working in Hollywood.

Keanu's range isn't great, but he does have one. He's good in roles that are the right fit. His problem is that he's become a big star even though he doesn't have big star acting sensibilities. Aside from the action stuff that doesn't require much subtlety (Speed, Matrix, et al) he works better in smaller, indy-type pictures.

No, but he probly f*cked in the back of a volkswagon while shooting In The Blue. :D

She's dating Cash Warren right now.

Pacino can still do good. Re: Hide And Seek, Insomnia.

His worst performance is superior to Alba's best.

From a message board that thinks the LOTR Trilogy is the worst trilogy ever im not surprised that some of those people believe that.

Alba has the T & A to make up for her acting. Paul Walker OTOH has nothing to back him up with.

Insomnia was okay. I think my most recent favorite Pacino films were The Insider and Heat. Simone was also decent, but everything else since Heat is pretty much a blurr to me.

Legato
02-21-2006, 04:49 PM
Three films that Pacino stood out IMO was The Godfather I & II, Scarface, and Devil's Advocate.

The rest were good but forgettable.

Well for a joke thread, it's actually got some pretty divisive answers, so I guess it's not so jokey after all.

Put me in the Paul Walker camp (Never thought I'd say those words). Jessica Alba is stupid hot, but is a horrible actress. There's enough actual hot actresses with a modicum of acting talent (Elisha Cuthbert for example) that Alba's presence in a movie actually annoys me.
