How could any one forget two guys from the Alien series

 

Ash (Ian Holm) and Burke (Paul Rieser), those two slimeballs reallt piss me off, Ash I suppose can't be held too accountable being an android an all, but Burke! He's the shit you scrape off from under the toilet.

Too many movie characters to list so here's the first couple I can think of that haven't already been said.

 

Mr. Potter from It's A Wonderful Life

 

Chris Cooper's character in American Beauty

 

Kim Novak in Vertigo

 

Someone mentioned everyone from Lacuna in Eternal Sunshine, except Elijah Wood. I'd like to revise that to especially Elijah Wood. What a jackhole.

 

Ethan Surpee and Stacy Keach in American History X, plus the black dude at the end.

 

Charles Bronson's character in Great Escape, he almost totally blew it with his goddamn claustrophobia.

 

And finally, the character I hate the most, of all time.....

 

SEAN PENN IN MYSTIC RIVER.

[Masked Man of Mystery 0]

By the end of Scarface, Tony Montana had what he got coming to him. I would also agree with Michael Corleone in the Godfathers. Vito seems to have a conscience(at least at the end of his life), Michael has none.

[Highland 0]

Tim Roth in Rob Roy, for the reasons cabbageboy cited.

 

Wesley Snipes in New Jack City. Scum that deserved to die.

 

Juaquin Phoenix in Gladiator: I marked out when Quintus ordered his Praetorian guards, "Sheath your swords. Sheath your swords!" after the emperor begged for one. Greatest movie ever.

 

The warden and his head cronie and the subhuman rapist from Shawshank Redemption.

[Highland 0]

If we're talking about Wesley Crusher-hate characters, then I have to go with John Connor in T2, Anakin Skywalker in Ep. 1, The Prince in Braveheart, everyone in Titanic. Too many to mention.

 

And of course, whoever conceived, wrote, directed, etc. the atrocity known as Highlander 2.

Amy in Secret Window. The first time I watched this movie, without hearing the director's comments at all, I was actually cheering for Mort Rainey to kill her. Honestly...how the *hell* could you cheat on a guy as hot as that with a guy like 'Ted'? Ick. Definetly. Then again, I go for the reclusive-creative types.

 

Going along with the above... Ted. It was just funny when bad things happened to him. He was just so annoying.

 

Then, after listening to the commentary, ya learn that everything was from Mort's point of view [the camera went *through* the mirror during the credits, indicating that we were entering his world. So, everything going on was objective. Then, at the end, we go out of the mirror and into a sane person's pov--Amy's]. But. Ah well. I still vote for him.

i'm with you on this...hell, i'm a straight man (no really!), and even i said "How the hell do you cheat on Johnny Fuckin' DEPP?! with Tim Fucking HUTTON, of all people?!?!"

I like what the director said in one of the featurettes, "Then the audience is faced with a conflict. We want her to get away, and yet, there's that cute Johnny Depp.." I'm thinking, yeah, right. This came out soon after Pirates and OUaTiM, I believe. And, given that popularity boost, who honestly was voting against Depp?

 

And there's no need to admit your heterosexuality, luv. I believe ya. Besides, women comment on other women's looks all the time; why can't men? Er, I mean, men comment on men's looks. They already comment on women's

 

In regards to Secret Window I wondered initially how they were trying to make me feel about the climax. I mean, were we REALLY supposed to cheer for the slimy boyfriend to save his wife at the end? Hell, I think most people wanted Johnny Depp to kill her. I know I did, along with Timmy Hutton.

According to the director, we were supposed to be "conflicted". .....Riiight. I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't really *know* who Amy and Ted were played by. Well, from reading all the reviews, I know their names, but not much beyond that. The only movie I know Mario from is the not-so-great 'Coyote Ugly'.

 

Whilst on the subject of Secret Window, who else enjoyed the scene where he learns that there is no John Shooter? I thought it was just brilliant how it all came together. And, for those that enjoyed it, I suggest renting the DVD. During 'Secrets Revealed', they show a cut that they didn't use. Depp did impersonations of Marlon Brando, Christopher Walken, *and* Roman Polanski [the last one being the most amusing, I think].

 

Dr. Royer-Collard in Quills is one I'd like to add to the list. Michael Cane was just *excellent* in this role, in my opinion. Seriously, I wanted to break the screen when he allowed Madeleine, Kate Winslet's character, to die. Plus, he was such a fuckin' hypocrite. Hating the Marquis de Sade's works, yet being just as evil.

 

'Course, the hate could be more of a 'The actor did such a good job' type of hate. Hell, there were so many good performances in this movie..it's just amazing.

Almost forgot:

 

Percy Wetmore, the fucking DOUCHEBAG from Green Mile.

I think she was cheating on him because of his emotional unavailability, and unstableness that foreshadowed the ultimate revelation of just who had been doing the killings.

 

Depp may very well have been good looking but it seems pretty clear that he was just NOT THERE (In more ways than one).

A few from the westerns:

 

Lee Marvin as Liberty Vallance in the Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance

 

Gene Hackman as Little Bill in Unforgiven

 

Henry Fonda as Frank in Once Upon a Time in the West

 

and also not a western but

 

Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet

 

 

Here is a link to AFI's top 100 Heroes and Villains

 

AFI 100 Heroes & Villains

[The Mandarin 0]

AFI 100 Heroes & Villains

Notable baddies from that list include HAL, Jack Torrance (personally, my favourite character ever so I can't say I hated him), Alonzo Harris, Tony Montana and Ghandi.

 

And this isn't the right thread for this, but why is Marge Gunderson from Fargo on the list? She didn't do anything heroic. She was just a normal person with a thick accent.

Lecter was an awesome character and I guess he was a villain, but I just couldn't bring myself to hate that character.

I wanted the kids in Signs to be blown into a million pieces.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Aaron Eckhart in The Core made me want to destroy my television and denounce all forms of entertainment after his shitty work, over-acting and goofy-ass cocksucking grin. But I suppose that's what I get for watching The Core.

And I agree with Kotz, except for the fact that i wanted Juaquim (however the fuck you spell that dicks name) and Mel to preish with them as well.

Oh, rest assured Banky, I wanted them all to die. The kids just bugged me most.

What's so wrong about a big russian dude beating up a cocky american? That's what he gets for making fun of Ivan and toying around with him, trying to make him look like his bitch.

 

nothin, dude, i was just kidding.

thank you, dear, i agree. nothing wrong with a straight man admitting another man is good-looking. and i'm a big fan of Depp's. my mom tells me that he reminds her of my father. i said "Well if that's true, what the hell happened to me?!" the only thing we have in common is the fact that neither of us can grow full beards.

Damn...oh well.

 

Character I hate: The Head...Guy at the Omega House in Animal House. Something Marmalard I think. I tend to ignore his scenes because they suck.

 

Also Douglas Niedermeyer because he's such a dick to Flounder.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I wanted the kids in Signs to be blown into a million pieces.

This is in the top five worst movies I have ever seen, and cemented the fact that M. Night Shamylan is my least favorite director on the planet.

 

Water..what the fuck. They're running around in dewy cornfields at night. Locked doors are CONFUSING! What pussy aliens.

[Art Sandusky 0]

The only way I can tolerate his films or anything about him is by calling him M. Night Shamalamadingdong.

[The Mandarin 0]

I, for one loved Signs. I thought it was one of the most comical movies I've ever seen. "Ray Ready" is the goofiest name I've ever heard, plus Joaquin Pheonix hiding in a closet with aluminum foil on his head is just retarded. And then at the end, the alien farts on the boy. It was just an awful, awful movie.

 

My favourite part, though, is when the kids don't want to eat their "last suppers" and start bickering with Mel Gibson. Then, in some of the worst acting of all time, he starts CRYING and then jabbing his fork into the stuffing, carrots, etc. and saying "*sob* MAYBE I'LL JUST *sob* EAT THIS *munch* MYSELF *sob* *munch*" while the little girl cries. Awesome.

 

It's (unintentionally) hilarious as a comedy, but as a horror/thriller, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

What's that guy's boner with water, anyway? It was ol' boy's weakness in Unbreakable, too. Man, there's another movie that sucked ass. I called the ending way early into it.

That's Tooms from X-Files!

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

the older anakian i find to be FAR worse. I want to stab him

[spiny norman 0]

I thought Signs was great until the ending. The suspense as everything built up was done brilliantly, it's just a shame the resolution of all that happened to be as poorly conceived as it was.

 

It was better than Unbreakable as far as I'm concerned. The problem with Shyalamaladingdong is that he had this revolutionary film in the form of The Sixth Sense but then did not really have much left to contribute and thus his other films are mediocre by comparison. If Unbreakable had have been his first film than maybe it would have been seen in a better light than it is now.

Brendan Frasier's kid in The Mummy Returns

Brendan Frasier's kid in The Mummy Returns

 

Anakin in Phantom Menace

I agree with you on the kid. While the movie itself is far from serious, those involve should at least take their work seriously. Everything else about the sequel is great...except for the damn kid and the too much CG. Personally, I like the love story with Anck-su-Namun and Imhotep. But that's just me.

 

Another character I hate: Eva Mendes's character in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, 'Ajedrez'. One can buy Selma Heyak as an assassin, but Eva Mendes as a cop? Riiiight. It's amusing that Robert Rodriguez intended Sands to be hated throughout the film, except for the end when he was 'redeemable', but..really. Even without the aid of POTC, Sands is just one of those characters that are too damn cool to hate.

 

'Course, I loved it when the bitch died. Her snobbish, uppity talk was about as fake as press-on nails, and she wasn't really convincing in her acting. But oh well. Sands looked cool. That's all that matters.
