A person who loves mangoes so much i can't describe it. I'll tell you a story: I was sitting on a beautiful yard on the Island of Taviuni. I was there for a workshop and staying at a nurses station. We were admiring the sunset. The nurses said, let's go get mangoes. They gave me a stick, and we went to the back yard. We threw sticks up into the trees to hit mangoes down (talk about target practice), we got about a dozen mangoes and went to the front yard and sat on mats and looked out into the ocean. The nurses station was built on a hill so we could see far out, and ate all the mangoes until it got dark, then we went inside. ~finis~

we went inside took our showers and said goodnight, sorry acron the obvious, nothing exciting. The next day we all got up, had some coffee and scones and walked down the road [which was beautiful by the way] to the old catholic church where we held a workshop for the people of taviuni. it was a great experience. Several months later I did meet a handsome microneasian man from Rabi who taught me Tae-kwon-do, and we sort of fell in love for a little while.

So was the man from Rabi the bad guy?

I've read through all of the posts, and I cannot believe nobody has nominated Gary Oldman for his role in just about any movie, although he was particularly creepy in the Fifth Element.

Equally, Kaizer Sauzee deserves an honourable mention for killing his own family.

Above all these people though, have to be the two young men from an Austrian movie called Funny Games. This is the most disturbing film I have ever seen. Watching it, there was one of those cinema moments were everyone sits in shock just willing the scene in front of them to end. Horrific, psychotic, top bad guys.

No, i don't remember any of those horrific movies, they sound like they have a genuine plot, which is why you remembered them. Okay, there are several really horrible films:

Halloween I: Silver Shamrock (chilling)
Night of the Living Dead (total disgusting)
Sisters: a true story. (should have been sub-titled Twisted Sisters). The writer/screenplay as well as the direction, and acting was so bad, it added another element of bizarre-ness to it. DON'T SEE IT.
Dead Calm: a couple out on a little cruise get hijacked by a psychopath with a nice smile.
Freaks: people who live in a circus retaliate against a young beautiful female
There were a few more movies that i saw as a teenager, I don't recommend anyone see them, they really are poison.

My favorite bad guy is whoever gets a black card for throwing a mask. There's one particular guy who's done it a couple of times. I just LOVE typing "Fencer excluded" when I post the event results on the divisional website

Evil of me, I know. Bwwwwhhhaaaaaaa

Matt, she aint evil just very very very deluded!

I agree with Thrawn, as well as Archie, but I think the best actor to PLAY villains is Ed Harris. I just think he plays a great villain, and is not nearly as over the top as the rest of them. A much more realistic villain, one who has semi-reasonable motivations, as opposed to blind, maniacal hatred. You can't beat his characters in Enemy at the Gates and The Rock.

btw, Semper, if you are trying to say "to have always fought with the sword", you should be saying semper pugnato gladio. If it is a different translation, let me know.

bad guys hmmm. . .I like a lot of bad guys. I do have to agree with like 95% of everyone elses bad guys. Sleeping Beauty scared me ssoo bad when i was little. That pengiun freaked me out, and I just saw it like two months ago. I agree on the eye thing they were creepy. I especialy agree on Vizzini!
Semper I know that whole sceen to. Has anyone read the book the princess bride by William Goldman? I liked it cuz it was so close to being exactly like the movie. Does anyone know where I can get to sequel Buttercups Baby? I really want to read it. K I will shut up now.

best bad guy: has to be the dog with the shifty eyes from the Simpsons.

DarkTransient · 07-19-2001, 11:19 AM

Has to be Gary Oldman. Any bad guy he plays is good, in an evil way.

Ah, I am sorely disappointed.

How can it be that no one has mentioned Sauron? Well, he doesn't figure much 'cept as a name of horror. How about Gollum?

What has he got in his pockets, my precious? Gollum. Gollum. (Just paraphrasing).

And how'sa bout them thar Vogons?

I'm glad Gary Oldman's name has now been mentioned, especially for the derranged DEA agent in LEON

RedsectorA · 07-26-2001, 03:39 AM

Yes Gary Oldman plays a great bad guy! and I see someone else has the International version of "the Professional" I love that movie, esp the Leon version. Oldman's portrayal of Dr. Smith in the movie "Lost in Space" is the -only- reason to ever see that movie. Excellent job.

I dont think anyone mentioned Jeremy Irons. Great bad guy actor. Of course there is Alan Rickman, always the great evil dude.

As for evil characters, I agree with most of those mentioned here, but my vote goes to Darth Vader in the original Star Wars. Kills indiscriminately without pity or remorse. Later, in Empire, knowing that Luke was his son, he still would have killed him without a thought if Luke wouldnt have joined him. In Jedi, he would have Killed Luke and used Leia for this evil ends. When it comes to killing your own kids, it dont get much more evil then that.

epeemike81 · 07-26-2001, 05:46 AM

what movies have Alan Rickman as a villain?

-m

RedsectorA · 07-26-2001, 10:33 AM

epeemike -

Alan Rickman played a villian in... Die Hard .. the first one! He was Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves... I thought his performance was more enjoyable than Kevin Costner's. He played Rasputin.. and a few others I can't recall right now.
