oh man, that beerfest movie looked so terrible when I saw previews for it, but I think I might actually download and watch it.

obviously it would be better if the 'german' characters were actually german cause those guy's put on accents are pretty horrible, but hey the kid from Bremen that went to my school last year liked it sooooo

I realized when I first read through this topic I must have been really blazed cause my original list is full of people I really really hate. soooooo my favorite villains in no particular order:

Nately's Whore from Catch22. Every scene she is in that book is fucking hilarious. She keeps popping up unexpectedly and works like lightning even though she is fatttttt.
Porfiry Petrovich from Crime and Punishment. HE KNOWS! The whole fucking time he KNOWS. That blew my mind at the end.
Aliastair Hennessey from The Life Aquatic. How much gayer of a villain can you get? Plus he takes a bullet to the torso and keeps right on motoring.
HAL9000 from 2001.
Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now Just like in Heart of Darkness you spend the whole time building up to meeting this crazy dude and then he turns out to be.. well... batshit insane haha

- The joker from The Dark Knight

- Hannibal Lecter from everything he's been in

- Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men

haha man sredni after I saw your post I typed chigurh into google cause I wanted to find out what the fuck kind of last name chigurh is (made up apparently) and I found this:

Oh, those are good picks man.

Sephiroth - (I think you know where hes from) - Sorry if this sounds really cliche but he was the 1st that came to mind. He manipulates everyone, hes really crazy, and he can destroy the solar system in a single attack. The only reason you even play the game is find out how badass Sephiroth really is, otherwise he wouldn't waste hours waiting for meteor to kill you when he has a 1000x stronger/faster attack up his sleve.  I'm not going to mention his sword   

Dr. Robotnik - Sonic the Hedgehog - This guy is really persistent. After being deafeated a billion times and somehow surviving, he always comes back with more robots. He is like the super cliche badguy who always has to find a weird way to kill you. Also that moustache is wicked stylish!

Thats all I can think up for now..

great choices.

WC colonel kurtz is a really great choice. i love that movie so much man

Okay let me elaborate on my choices a bit more since last time my mom was SHRIEKING at me about using *GASP* SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPUTER (india sucks sometimes)

THE JOKER - In TDK, they visually scrapped everything from the comic book joker, and rebuilt him around the premise that the character could actually be a real person. In comics, villians inexplicably have their personal theme applied to everything (THE RIDDLER), but in TDK, the joker was some guy who went crazy, put makeup on his face, and used generic weaponry and a shit ton of knives, and was generally fucking insane. The fact that they made him appear so ordinary, as opposed to having a more ubiquitous 'joker' theme to everything he owned, made him that much more scary. Also the entire time he was onscreen, I was literally on the edge of my seat. Heath Ledger did a fantastic job of making him seem like a unpredictable, unrelenting, murdering psychopath.

Hannibal Lecter - It is not seen in Silence of the Lambs (the movie) but if you read Thomas Harris' book of the same name, there is one part where he absolutely brutalizes a nurse. IIRC, he rips out her eyes and tears off her face or something (it's been a while since I read it), and the entire time, his heart rate never increased above resting. He had eleven fingers, one of which he amputated after escaping from prison, and he remembers virtually everything due to an elaborate memory palace. Probably the most vivid example of what makes him so creepy to me is in SOTL, while talking to agent starling, he says, "You use Evian skin cream, and sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps, but not today."

Anton Chigurh - Oh, just watch the fucking movie. This man will stop at absolutely nothing to satisfy his personal moral code. He will coldly kill a stranger on a coin-toss. He will chase a man around the country, not because he wants the 2 million dollars in the suitcase, but because he promised him he would. While watching the movie, it's hard not to get the feeling that if this man was after you, there was absolutely no way you would permanenty escape.
