For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

Pretty tired of seeing Chris Pratt’s face everywhere. His early career was great, but I find him obnoxious these days
Perfect for parks and rec and guardians 1. Everything since then has just been typical Hollywood overuse. “People like him let’s put him in everything!”
hes also a right wing nuttie, which lowers his likability
I’ve heard this a lot but every time I look into it is always just him being religious.
he supports his alt-right brother who attends a fundie church as well, and he shares in his beliefs, although not as explicitily as his brother.
Is he or is he a traditional non-fascist conservative like his father in law Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Ditto
I mean, I blame the audience more than Hollywood, the same reason why we get a lot of reboots and sequels instead of new movies, or the same reason why Netflix account sharing killing strategy worked.
The dislike shouldn’t be completely headed to the actor nor Hollywood.
Also you got me thinking, would people that didn’t see him in the older stuff like those you mentioned and are tired of him will roll their eyes if they decide to watch them just now?
That man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
1000%
Can you elaborate? Not casting doubt, just admitting ignorance.
He’s a Republican from WA who makes a very big deal about his Christian Faith.
He will “pray for you” if you “don’t understand him”, he teamed up with Marky Mark to … promote Lent observance… he has … either previously not been that much of a religious person but then had a literal Come to Jesus moment… or he’s been pretty religious the whole time and was downplaying it in the earlier days of his career.

He also may or may not have been a congregant at the Hillsong church, which is pretty anti-LGBTQ.

Generally speaking, he comes across like you would expect someone to when they’re from an abusive religious family:
He comes across as basically an insecure, nervous wreck who does not not know how to properly ‘perform’ Christianity for both his family and older friends, as well as the broader and more diverse world… so the result is basically an awkward or maybe ‘quirky’ kind of machismo.
Dude is your quintessential performative masculine dude bro, a meathead.

He’s Joe Rogan, but more Christian, more feckless.
What’s wrong with promoting the observance of Lent among those that believe in Christianity? Ideally it is supposed to make you think about the value of self sacrifice and appreciate when others have made sacrifices for you.
He is not part of Hillsong but rather an affiliated church which is also problematic.
Technically, theoretically, on its own, not much.
However: Why is this Celebrity telling my kids what they should be doing/thinking? Why is their way of life so important and such a big deal that they need to talk about it openly, all the time?
(You just play the uno reverse card with everything all the right wing folks say about anything they don’t like coming out of a celebs mouth, when they are gay or lesbian or queer or a different religion or promoting a scam product, etc).
Now I’m not gonna run around and actually do that, but I do find it kind of weird. I’d expect that message to come from… you know, a church Father, a local Bishop or something?
Do you have any experience with Christianity? It is by nature evangelical. You are supposed to share your message with others. Different denominations stress this to different degrees
Yeah, I was raised by fundamentalist extremists who were really into the militia movement back in the 90s.
Had to go no contact with them as they became insane QAnon cultists who illegally mfg full auto capable assault rifles in their garages.
I actually did not grow up too far from where Chris did.
Lets just say he grew up even further out in the boonies than I did.
So then how are you confused by them sharing their faith this way?
Dude went full maga and now all I see is his horrible acting
hes also not a nice person irl too. he ranted about not being in leadership roles for different movies, im guessing because he so maga, he loves being masculine roles. Also his controversy with his wife/disabled kids, and a sick pet animal.
Jurassic World was the worst thing that happened to him. I’m sure he made bank on them, but Christ do they suck.
