*****SPOILERS AHEAD******

 

Once Upon a Time in Mexico: Sands did have some slick scenes, but after shot the innocent cook for no reason (fuck that "balance" crap), I couldn't get behind him at all. I was glad when he got blinded.

 

Bonnie & Clyde (1967): Blanche annoyed the hell out of me. For one, she needed to quit all that damn screaming. Second, she demanded "her cut" of the money even though she didn't do shit during one robbery. Third, she rats on B&C ("they're next door") to the cops, and then she rats on CW at the end. Coincidentally, she got blinded, too.

 

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: The trees. They took so long to actually DO something that by the time they did, I was tired of them.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico: Sands did have some slick scenes, but after shot the innocent cook for no reason (fuck that "balance" crap), I couldn't get behind him at all. I was glad when he got blinded.

As a fan of this movie, and the character, I simply must argue dis one. And, it should be noted, this was only the second Depp movie I saw, so I wasn't yet a fangirl.

 

This didn't make sense the first time watching it - hell, a *lot* of the movie didn't - but after second viewing, it did. The puerco pibil was too good, thus, the cook had to die. Because...there was a balance in 'Mexico' that Sands had to keep in control. Then he compared the President to the pork; the two both needed to be balanced out.

 

Of course, this was an interesting facet of the character that Depp noted in the extras, I think. Sands was too annoying and too psychotic for the CIA, so they sent him as far away from them as possible. Thus, he'd been down in the country for so long, all on his lonesome, that he was probably a bit delusional. He didn't even have any 'contacts' - the priest was Sands, just with a Brando accent. And he would wear these phony, obviously fake, disguises just so someone could point it out.

 

Useless trivia: Johnny Depp was only on the set of Once Upon a Time in Mexico about eight days.

I know what his reason was for shooting the cook, but the simple fact is that he killed a totally harmless man because of some personal philosphy. When I saw it in the theater I was just like, "Ha, that's cold -- but kind of funny" at first, but the more I thought about it the more it looked simply like an asshole move.

 

Oh, and I just saw the first Harry Potter movie yesterday. The fat kid who's Harry's cousin was a very hate-able character.

You do realize that that's a REALLY psychotic way of thinking? No one should be killed just because of food. So, yeah, Depp's character got what he deserved.

[Guest Smark-Raving Mad]

Thora Birch in Ghost World

Oh, absolutely. I was seething with hate for her, but I still wanted to bone her the whole time.

[notJames 0]

Au contraire... I thought Enid (Thora's character) was more sad and pathetic than loatheable. She tried so hard to alienate herself from the entire town, and when she finally succeeded, she realized it still didn't make her happy. I loved her character, even as she was driving both her best friend and her secret love away from her.

 

If you want to talk about loathing, Evie from Thirteen made me wish she would just kill herself. What a whiny petulant waste of life.

 

(Truth be told, though, I hated the writing in general moreso than her character. The whole movie was just so unbelievable that it detracted from everything else I could have liked about it.)

I'll say Harvey Keitel's son in From Dusk Till Dawn. Made me just want to punch him, I cheered when he died. I'll second the nomination of SMG in Cruel Itentions as well, so good at being the bitch.

Don't forget Wheelie.

Yes, I do. But insane characters are always more fascinating than the normal ones, especially when they're played by brilliant actors. See: Hannibal, Francis Dolarhyde, the Riddler, Two Face....

 

Oh! Speaking of Batman Forever, Nicole Kidman's character in that was so fuckin' annoying. Such a little whore.

[cabbageboy 0]

Man, what's with all the hate for Signs? I think it's easily M. Night's best movie thus far, though The Village hasn't come out yet.

 

I go in the category of people who don't get the big deal about the Sixth Sense. I mean, the film is simply not watchable after the first viewing. At that point you know the cheesy twist ending (which I called after 10 minutes of the movie). Heh, they even made fun of that movie in 50 First Dates.

 

Unbreakable wasn't too bad I didn't think, and I have to admit that since the film wasn't as hyped I didn't see the ending coming. The whole segment with Willis trying to save the family from the burglars was horrible however.

I think the only difference between psycho you hate and psycho you like is how funny you find the quips they say after they kill someone.

 

I also tend to prefer Brian Cox's portrayal of Hannibal to Hopkins'. Track down a copy of MANHUNTER if you can and see what I mean.

AFI 100 Heroes & Villains

 

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.

Because, despite being heavily pregnant, she still continued to hunt for the two murderers when, lets face it, she should surely have chosen to go on maternity leave. Also, you have to consider her outlook on life. In spite of all the chaos around her, she still manages to retain her moral position and level head. The line when she's driving Peter Stomare to Fargo after his arrest ("There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are. And it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it") epitomises this.

 

To keep the thread on topic:

 

Liv Tyler in One Night At McCools, closely followed by John Goodman in the same film, just for his utter stupidity in falling for everything he's told.

 

DEFINITELY Elijah Wood in Eternal Sunshine. It may be because I really hate Elijah Wood, but he was just unbearable in this. I spent half the film fuming in anger over this man.

[reign 0]

I hated the hillbilly group of truckers from "Breakdown" with Kurt Russell...those mean ass bastards made me want a sequel in which they didn't die but instead spent months in Russells' basement getting their asses beatin evry day he felt like blowing off some steam.

[Guest Paul H.]

I say "Hoe" played by Brittney Murphy in "Just Married" along side Ashton Kucthcer,what a bitch this whore is and then to actually have him go back to her?Please.

 

Another one would have to be "Hoe" played by Gwen Paltrow in "A Perfect Crime" the way he (Micheal Douglas) was made the villain for protecting his money mad me sick to my stomach.

 

Paul H.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Ivan Drago in Rocky IV - "If he dies... he dies."

 

Dr. Gonzo in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - What... the... fuck?

 

Diego Delgado in Blow - Whatever happen to loyalty?

 

Frank Wheatley from Sling Blade - Whiny little bastard.

 

Giovanni Ribisi In Lost In Translation - Do you not see who you wake up to every morning ?

 

All of Doyle's friends in Sling Blade - How does such a cool, bad motherfucker like that have them guys for friends?

 

Corey Haim's character in The Lost Boys - Was he gay ? The huge Poster of Rob Lowe in his Bedroom kind of threw me off.

Jack Palance in Tango & Cash

 

the guy who beat up Rambo in the jail to start First Blood

 

The entire fucking cast of Rule of Atrraction. Fuck them and their "problems". Lay off the nose candy and stop fucking everyone in sight you fucking preppies who give preppies a bad name! Wouldn't mind walking into that fucking dorm with a samurai sword and cutting everyone off at the legs. I feel the guy who mentioned them first.

 

Ok now...

 

The evil lady in The Goonies...how dare she do that to Sloth.

 

Biff from Back to the Future.

I've got more, just not now

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Dr. Gonzo in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - What... the... fuck?

How can you hate Dr. Gonzo?

 

That character has some of the greatest lines. I've borrowed a couple for personal use.

 

"Pretty good advice if you've got shit for brains."

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Bah.

 

Raoul Duke IS the movie.

 

Still a excellent movie. Underrated as hell, IMO.

Brandt from Equilibrium (which makes what happens to him all the more awsm)

[Guest Frank_Nabbit]

I hated the hillbilly group of truckers from "Breakdown" with Kurt Russell...those mean ass bastards made me want a sequel in which they didn't die but instead spent months in Russells' basement getting their asses beatin evry day he felt like blowing off some steam.

I concur. Way underated movie IMO

[Guest Staravenger]

Kelly Rowland in Freddy Vs. Jason

I second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, nineth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth that one.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Bah.

 

Raoul Duke IS the movie.

 

Still a excellent movie. Underrated as hell, IMO.

Yeah, but he wouldn't be nearly as cool without a counterpart. Gonzo's even crazier than Thompson. Just look at the whole thing with Lucy, the acid trip in the tub, flipping out on the hitch hiker, the people in the elevator, and in the revolving bar at the circus. Then he got on a plane and never came back. Perfect character.

 

Anything Terry Gilliam directed is awesome as hell.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Well... he was entertaining.

 

WHITE RABBIT!

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Dr. Gonzo in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - What... the... fuck?
