Welcome To My Authors Cove
-
I am a writer of many different styles, though my work consists mostly of
short stories, poetry, reviews and articles. During your stay in my cove,
you wil...
Because the Headless Horseman is not actually included on this list, I
have given him special mention in the form of a picture instead. This
list is scattered; not in any kind of order and possibly lacking a few
more of my favourites, but these are the basics and all I can think of
at present.
The Joker
Ledger's version of this villain of course. Whilst I am a huge Nicholson
fan, I did not feel that his performance as the joker was as good as it
could have been. Heath gave the character a whole new meaning and it
surprised me. I would never have believed he could have pulled it off as
well as he did, but he didn't half manage.
Voldemort
I think a good telling off would be given to anyone who did not mention
Lord Voldemort, no matter who else is on their list. Voldemort was
optional for mine however because he is not really as good as he could
be. Perhaps that is the fault of the Potter world director, as his
character in Rowling's books is up to par. I was shocked to find out his
character in the movies did not live up to his character in the books,
but I will never blame Ralph Fiennes.
Annie Wilkes
This is a character that should always get top marks for being uniquely
disturbed in more ways than one. She kidnaps her favourite novelist and
is sure to break his ankles to prevent him escaping her clutches, whilst
she forces him to write a new chapter to his book just for her. In the
movie, she snaps whenever he writes something that she does not approve
of and goes absolutely mental. It is unique; and whilst the kidnapping
idea is not, her inner demons give her a strong enough likability.
Patrick Bateman
Bateman is a classic because he is so messed up you would not believe
it. It seems as though, throughout the entire movie, he has no real
reason whatsoever to commit such horrific murders, but the enjoyment he
receives from actually allowing his moods to take control are hilarious.
Whilst it should not be a comedy in any way, shape or form given its
content, it's almost impossible not to giggle at how intense those
moments are. He simply boils up a load of anger through the smallest of
things, and kills people if they displease him in any way.
Stansfield
One of my favourite bad guys, and not just because Gary Oldman portrays
him. No, this corrupt cop is so hyped on drugs that he doesn't know the
difference between right or wrong anymore. His sanity left him a long
time ago and his only muse is Beethoven. He likes to describe
Beethoven's music as the kind of thing that warms him up before he
barges in on people who owe him a ton of money, but refuse to own up to
it. A personal favourite quote of mine; 'I haven't got time for this
Mickey Mouse bullshit!', is one that defines his character perfectly.
Pennywise
A great deal of people would probably include this clown, because they
are afraid of clowns in general, though this one in particular is
severely messed up. He has razor sharp teeth and an upward pointing do of
bright red hair. At first, he seems almost friendly, but for those who
have a keen eye and ear, he is far from it. The game is given away all
too soon when he pulls a young boy down a gutter and eats him alive. Me
however, I am not scared of clowns, so this one doesn't actually
frighten me much. The only thing that frightens me about this clown is
Tim Curry; now he IS scary.
Nurse Ratched
There is nothing at all to like about this damn woman. She is irritating
from the first time we are introduced to her. The way in which she
treats her patients is ridiculous; she cares nothing for them and is non
the wiser when one of them shows clear signs of depression. Because of
her lack of understanding and inability to notice these signs, said
patient kills himself and she then considers it a problem she could not
have prevented. She certainly could have prevented it by not encouraging
the poor patient to feel guilty over sleeping with someone. Having
quite a bond with his mother and being threatened by this nurse did not
end well for him.
Predator
I adore this character, very much so. I chose predator over alien and
would everytime because alien does not have all that much to offer
really. Unless of course, I were to base my decision off a deleted scene
I found for one of the alien movies a few years ago, then I might pick
alien instead. It was a very creepy clip in which an alien was kneeling
down watching a member of crew fixing up her hair. What bothered me most
about that clip was the way in which the alien approached her; crawling
forward whilst his hands were on the floor beneath him and his feet
outstretched in front of him. It was the image of that alone I believe.
But, in all seriousness, predator gets my vote.
Bane
Another character from Batman because this one deserves it too. I was
reluctant to go and see the new batman movie, but was persuaded by how
good a trailer it had. It's more likely that I'll go see a movie if a
trailer shines. I'll seldom bother otherwise. Bane has been chosen
because his villain is of a different kind; he is not your usual villain
at all. Though, he is not exactly the real villain (the mastermind
behind the destruction of Gotham), which is what makes it more exciting.
V
Most will know who V is, and if you don't, shame on you. He is last on
this list so your focus will be on him for a moment longer. I wanted him
here for attention because I do not consider him a villain by any
means, but in the world of entertainment, he is just that. The reason
why I do not consider him a villain is because everything that he did
and everything that he stood for, I agreed with. Had he been an actual
member of society, I would have stood alongside him and followed his
dreams because he was right in absolutely everything he ever said or
did.
