  • Seeing Harrison Ford play a man who kills women is called upsetting because the viewer identifies him with heroic roles.
  • The category name “Not Like This” is proposed for beloved actors in unwelcome roles.
  • Interview with the Vampire is called a really good movie despite using Cruise in an unwelcome role.
  • The Penguin is described as difficult to watch because a participant wants favored actor Colin Farrell to remain beautiful, although his performance is praised.
  • Roman J. Israel is proposed as Denzel’s analogous title and is explicitly disliked.
