| 6/4/2003 11:22:09 PM Stating the obvious. |
I know it is to be expected of me, but I gotta include the Mad Max villians. Toecutter was a bad ass. And of course The Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah, The Lord of the Wasteland, The Humungus was my personal favorite. Remember, he was sporting the scary goalie mask before Jason (approximately a year before).
And just for me personally, I thought that Victor Huggo Martin and Gael García Bernal did a great job portraying Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara as righteous revolutionary protagonists in the movie !FIDEL!. But then I'm a I'm dark red, so my views may be quite a bit slanted.
Now I didn't see the show, but I figured they probably skipped my boys. |

| Being a jackass I forgot to sign in as Brandon or The Lord Humungus. |

Those who wanna see the actual (shitty) list check out www.afi.com.

| 6/5/2003 10:46:55 AM Cool. |
Yep, there's a couple in there I forgot about and several more from flicks I've never seen (Conan, Beastmaster, Boondock Saints). When compiling my villains list I sort of cast around for really good villainous actors and then picked their best role (Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman). I can't friggin believe I missed Malkovich!
Hellfire and damnation.
AFI will never convince me that Rickman's bad guy in Die Hard - excellent though it was - is superior to his Sheriff in Robin Hood. Stupid Hollywood commie bastards.

| 6/6/2003 9:56:13 AM Another List |
Wanderer's first list gives me another idea, something like a top-ten list of best and worst changes in society. Hrm, have to refine that idea and post if I've got time.
2 hangovers in 2 days and it's D-Day. I feel like the Germans must have felt as those 16 inch shells slammed into their emplacements.

| 6/6/2003 10:27:39 AM Kinda vague |
Since when though. Tough call. Since the industrial revelution? Since the 60s? The list would change dramatically based on that...
It s a good idea though (mayhap The Wanderer s first and only). Hmmm... food for thought.

| 6/6/2003 12:53:49 PM Good Ideas! |
Hey... my "Cheez Wiz & Hershey Bar" is LEGENDARY!
Not to mention... I invented the Internet!

HERO:
#1 (Without a Doubt) Father McGruder (Stuart Devenie, Dead Alive (aka Braindead))
-- Wanderer |
| 6/7/2003 6:34:37 AM dissn' Me?? |
Why are you putting me and cheese wiz in the same sentence wanderer?
-Dover |
| 6/9/2003 8:26:43 AM McGruder |
I gave Father McGruder a very serious consideration for my hero list, but alas, decided his grand total of two minutes of screen time was just not enough to warrant inclusion despite his valiant heroism in the face overwelming zombie infestations.
