What About Now? Blaugust Actors and stuff

Top five (or 10 or 20) actors / directors / screenwriters.

Uh, this is the second-weakest link for me... or so I thought. Going through my Letterboxed profile helped jog my memory a little (especially since I am terrible at remember names to faces, and gets harder when you add fictional character names into the mix). Soooo...

disclaimer: I don't know the politic 100% of some of these folks. So, if anyone has done anything terrible, do let me know.

Off the Top of My Head

• Taraji P. Henson - to attest to this, I only watched a later Tyler Perry movie because she was in it. I will literally watch anything she even breathed on.
• Michelle Yeoh
• Jeff Goldblum - you know why. funny man. yes, that...
• Viola Davis
• Yuen Qiu - of Kung Fu Hustle fame. Was also the sole reason I picked up Kung Fu Mahjong, and the series is very dear to my heart.
• BONUS: Janelle Monae - obviously! :)
• BONUS, AGAIN: The Wayans Brothers - enough said!
• BONUS 3: WEEB MODE ACTIVATED
  • Satoshi Kon - directed one of my favorite movies, Millennium Actress
  • Susumu Hirasawa - is never too far behind him; has made some bangers to go along with the films

Honorable Mention

• Stephanie Hsu - first saw her in Everything Everywhere All At Once, and just thinking about her character makes me cry (in a good, emotional way). I need to keep tabs on what she's been up to.
• I do keep tabs on former SNL members, like
  • Maya Rudolph
  • Tim Meadows
  • Will Ferrell
  • Cheri Oteri
• Amy Sedaris
• Uma Thurman
• Nicolas Cage
• Wesley Snipes

Dishonorable Mention

Gotta name 'em because I am a hater. I will dropkick the movie into the sun if they're in it, but will entertain edge cases like Zoolander and Happy Gilmore (which I still need to see...).

• Blueberry Dunderhatch or whatever the fuck his name is - he also catches a stray for making The Hobbit movies too fucking long.
• a Tom Cruise type
• Tyler Perry
• Adam Sandler
• Jimmy Fallon
• BONUS: Ben Stiller - this is slightly irrational, unlike my disdain for Fallon
