easily jack nicholson's joker in the original batman movie... by "easily" i mean the first thing that popped into my mind. i'm sure i'll have others when i'm more awake and less poker.

 

[Quoll]

Best death scene ever.

 

[midwestyankee]

Darth Vader

 

[Bottomlover]

Judge Doom

 

[Denae]

Hannibal Lecter came to mind first. But Darth Vader is right there too.

 

[pleasteasme]

Dr. Evil

 

[Eilan]

Voldemort

 

[EJFan]

Hannibal Lecter came to mind first.

YES! love hannibal.

 

[Denae]

YES! love hannibal.

You love Hannibal?

 

[EJFan]

You love Hannibal?

in the sense of loving a movie villain for his villain-ness... yes. or is that villainocity?

i actually did a show with john douglas (pioneer of profiling, cia guy and former head of the behavioral science unit at quantico) a few years ago. he consulted extensively on "silence of the lambs" and i found him to be a fascinating guy. his book "mindhunter" is fantastic. it's a must read.

Mindhunter is one of my absolute favorite reads.

Mindhunter is one of my absolute favorite reads.

those first few pages where he's in seattle (i think) and having a nervous breakdown from being inside the heads of serial killers is absolutely riveting.

John Douglas' Obsession is in my book shelves. I've read Mindhunter. When I returned to college in '98, I wrote a paper about stalking and the changes that need to made in our laws. As a "victim" of a stalker, Douglas' works helped me gain control over the situation.

Brian Denehy in 'Rambo' and the guy who played sheriff in 'Tank' with James Garner.

 

[M's girl]

YES! love hannibal.

Yes.... intruiging!
So is the whole serial killer phenomenon, of course. What makes them tick. Of course that is my weird side...

 

[M's girl]

Dr. Evil

Yes, cool.... plus Mini Me! Hilarious!
(or are you taling about another Dr. Evil?)

i found him to be VERY giving and compassionate in person. he spent hours talking privately with people about their past/present tragedies after his program concluded. i don't know how he does it.

i agree. people who are so quick to want to impose the death penalty (justifiably so) don't realize how helpful it is to have a genuine maniac available to study... it can be a wonderful resource.

 

[midwestyankee]

Kaiser Soze

Definitely my second choice!

 

[pleasteasme]

Yes, cool.... plus Mini Me! Hilarious!

Oh yes! Dr. Evil is a hoot and mini me...omg, too much (well, only 1/8th of Dr. Evil's size, but once again proves that size doesn't matter)

 

[Eilan]

Yes, cool.... plus Mini Me!

What's EJ got to do with anything?
