All right, against my better judgement, love and hate:

Hate:
1) Nichole Kidman - There is just something about her that sets violent, evil thoughts loose in my head.

Beyond Nichole at the top of the bottom, the rest of both lists are in no particular order.

2) Tom Cruise - Excellent actor, apparently a waste of air otherwise.
3) Jay-Lo - I haven't the foggiest notion what women see in her, and I haven't a clue how the one thing men see in her qualifies her for anything other than porn.
4) With some exceptions, the rest of the singers who have taken up acting without being actors, from Elvis to Linsay Lohan. (Frank Sinatra and Meatlof would be a few of the exceptions. LL CoolJ another.)
5) Adam Sandler - One good movie does not an actor make. He's gratuitously stupid most of the time, and, when he's witty, he's not wit enough to overcome (Pretty much the same thing could be said about Jim Carrey, but Truman and Eternal Sunshine count for a great deal.)
6) Ben Stiller - The Decay of Wit into the comedy of self pity. Feh!
7) Will Ferrell - Some people think elementary school boys are cute. Michael Jackson, for instance. When the boys are 6'6" and in their 30's, they're not cute; they're clinically mentally retarded. It's not funny; it's sad.
8) That tumor on Will Ferrel's hip. You know the one who played monkey boy and Mango on SNL. He's so wretched I can't even remember his name. I know it's not Corky Romano, only because he played that part.
8) Tom Hanks - Down hill all the way from Batchelor Party
9) Barbara Streisand - Not only a singer, and not only an opinionated singer, but a stupid, opinionated signer.
10) All Professional Wrestlers. Jesse, Hulk, The (or should I say Mr. Rock). Bluging Pectoral Muscles are not sufficient for, well, anything.

Love:
1) Kevin Spacey
2) Morgan Freeman
3) Alec Guinness
4) Peter Sellars
5) Mandy Patinkin
6) Anthony Hopkins (Bumped Peter Ustinov)
7) Ben Kingsley (Bumped Mandy Patinkin)
8) John Cusak
9) George C. Scott
10) Christopher Lloyd
11) Julianne Moore (Bumped Dan Hedaya)

Since I don't identify with women, there is only one actress on that list, in the 11 spot. However, let me toss out Sally Fields, Joan Cusak, Anjelica Huston, Maggie Smith, Linda Fiorentino, and Kirsten Dunst as actresses I have a ton of respect for.

Still not enough. Some more: Edward James Olmos, Denzel Washington, Joe Panteleon, Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin (Hunt for Red October), Sean Connery, Tim Curry, Oliver Platt, Hector Alizondo, Raul Julia, Helen Hunt, Jack (There is only one), Ed Norton, Brad Pitt, Dan Akroyd, Tim Matheson, Richard O'Brian, Bill Murray, Mike McKeane, Christopher Guest, Mako, Toshirô Mifune.

Other than the abovementioned lists, I have no particular feeling one way or the other about Actors in general.
