Hey Somethings, PCR here!<\/p>\n
So, this week’s blog, I wanted to talk about some actors I’m… well.. just not fond of.\u00a0 I’m not talking “Oh, I didn’t like so-and-so in this role…” or “I thought they’re portrayal of blahblahblah was…”\u00a0 No, I’m talking about a level of “I couldn’t care less” that sometimes makes it difficult to watch things they’re in.<\/p>\n
Anthony Mackie<\/strong> – Is he Captain America?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Will I go see the new Cap movie in the theaters when it comes out?\u00a0 Most likely not.\u00a0 It’s convoluted.. it’s not because I don’t want him in the role.. as a comic book fan it 100% makes sense.\u00a0 It’s also a huge point of diversity which is also awesome…. I\u00a0 just don’t like him as an actor.\u00a0 It’s not that I find him “bad”, I just don’t find him compelling.\u00a0 I was able to make it through his previous MCU movies because his screen time was tempered by his castmate’s screen time.\u00a0 I was “meh” on Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> (mostly due to having to watch him more).\u00a0 His episode of Black Mirror<\/em> was intriguing, but to me, still middling… and I couldn’t even finish the first episode of S2 of Altered Carbon<\/em> when I saw him in it.\u00a0 He just doesn’t grab my attention.<\/p>\n Aaron Paul\u00a0<\/strong>– Now, to be fair, I haven’t seen him in much that WASN’T Breaking Bad<\/em>.\u00a0 Yes, the show was amazing, but any time Jesse was on the screen, I just sighed and sucked it up because I knew he HAD to be.\u00a0 El Camino<\/em>?\u00a0 It was… how do I say…\u00a0 \u00a0“boring”.\u00a0 I recently started binging Westworld<\/em> (more on that in an upcoming episode).\u00a0 Seasons 1 and 2 were phenomenal… Season 3 had… issues.. and… Aaron Paul.\u00a0 As soon as I saw him on my screen I thought “Well fuck… he’s going to end up being integral and we’re going to see a lot of him aren’t we…”\u00a0 I wasn’t wrong.\u00a0 I haven’t started S4 yet, but, I’m hoping Caleb ends up getting the “Teddy” treatment before too long.<\/p>\n Joan Cusack<\/strong> – Ok look, I don’t have an answer for “Why?” on this one.\u00a0 I just can’t stand seeing her on my screen.\u00a0 I couldn’t watch the American version of Shameless<\/em> thanks to her.\u00a0 I was mildly interested in A Series of Unfortunate Events<\/em> until she showed up on my screen and I turned it off and never went back.\u00a0 I’ve only seen 2 movies she’s ever been in, and they were long enough ago that I don’t think I even knew who she was at the time.\u00a0 I’m sure she’s a great person, but she can be a great person and not be on my TV ever too.<\/p>\n What about YOU?\u00a0 Do YOU have someone who.. you just can’t stand to watch?\u00a0 Let us know!<\/p>\n ALSO<\/p>\n Do you like Star Wars?\u00a0 Do you like Audio Dramas?\u00a0 Well how about a Star Wars Audio Drama?!<\/p>\n Author Crystal Storm<\/a> has been doing just that!\u00a0 Check out “Legacy : A Star Wars Audio Drama”<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Somethings, PCR here!<\/p>\n So, this week’s blog, I wanted to talk about some actors I’m… well.. just not fond of.\u00a0 I’m not talking “Oh, I didn’t like so-and-so in this role…” or “I thought they’re portrayal of blahblahblah was…”\u00a0 No, I’m talking about a level of “I couldn’t care less” that sometimes makes it difficult to watch things they’re in.<\/p>\n Anthony Mackie<\/strong> – Is he Captain America?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Will I go see the new Cap movie in the theaters when it comes out?\u00a0 Most likely not.\u00a0 It’s convoluted.. it’s not because I don’t want him in the role.. as a comic book fan it 100% makes sense.\u00a0 It’s also a huge point of diversity which is also awesome….
