Is it bad that I have a lot of empathy for both of those villains, too?

(Well, some iterations of Lex Luthor, at least.)

After First Class, I grew to realize Magneto is awesome.

X-Men: First Class is basically a Magneto biopic.

Okay, Charby, I have to ask: how are you like Anton Chiguhr? That's an awfully weird character for anyone to resemble.

Hard to chose just one...

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I do what I want, I finish what is assigned to me and I have been called half vampire because one second I there and next I am gone. I can also be pretty vindictive if you do bad things to me.

I'm going with Colonel Nathan Jessup (A Few Good Men), if you can call him a villain.  He does what he believes to be right, no matter the consequences.  And, arguably, his goal was right, even if his methods may be questionable.
No, I'm not mtnbkr.  ;)

If I were to be a villain, I'd have to go with the operative. Almost completely unemotional. Willing to do whatever was necessary to complete his goal.

(I'd love to say Sephiroth, but even as a villain I couldn't be that nuts/evil/ruthless.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Danny Ocean is not a villian. He's the Hero. It doesn't matter that what he's doing is illegal. In that movies POV he's the good guy.

That's my Briggs-Meyer assessment...

I empathize with Vader, myself.  One reason why I costume as him for the 501st, I guess.

There really aren't very many cool female villains to chose from, so I'll have to go with either the Wicked Witch of the West, but only so I get to control flying monkeys, or Lucy Liu in the Kill Bill movies, because she's just bad ass.

There's a few bond girls to choose from.

Yes there are.

Then what about all the soap opera villains.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Had a couple belts of rye with a friend tonight, he agreed that Anton would be my villain.
