Addendum to thefridayfive

[zouzounaki]

I was talking with my sis, telling her how hard it was to come up with any "favorite" villains as I usually don't gravitate to those kinds of characters. I told her I had put Commodus, which she thought was appropriate. But I have two more to add now, that she came up with:

White Goodman, Dodgeball and

Stephen and Evelyn Price, House on Haunted Hill

The former cos it's the most hilarious performance I've evr seen Ben Stiller give and just one of the funniest and craziest characters in a movie!

The latter cos, well, they're totally twisted! A critic once said that they reminded him of "Nick and Nora Charles, if they ever sobered", and I think that's a more perfect description than I could ever come up with. Me bud, may_child also once observed that Geofrey Rush in the mastah of sleazy chemistry. Oh so true!

Ooohh, I loves me some Geoffrey! And in HOHH he and Famke Janssen had the sleaziest, sexiest chemistry since...well, since Geoffrey's last sleazy, sexy pairing. ;-P

White Goodman...hehe! "I wouldn't sell you back the gym for all of King Midas's silver!"

I'm just kidding, but not really. Hee! He has all the best lines! Well, him and Pepper! Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!

I still remember the initial shock of seeing Geoffrey in HoHH; he was just "that Oscar winner" at that point! Little did I know, huh? ;-)

"Just that Oscar winner" -- wash your keyboard out with soap, woman!! ;-P

I never fail to nearly piss myself during that "Dodgeball" scene where White, after informing Kate that "it's over between them," snaps his fingers and Michel drives up out of nowhere on his motorcycle! Ben Stiller was clearly having a ball with that role, after playing snitty tight-asses so many times.

Bwahahaha, oh God, I think that's the funniest part of the movie! When he gives them the finger and then, 'Well, at least that wasn't weird." XD That and the 'ten tons of irony' always crack me up to the point of almost wetting myself!

And definitely with Ben Stiller. And he gave Christine Taylor such a good part, too, which she really doesn't get and that outtake with 'freaky naughty' where she keeps losing it with him, bwahahahahaha!

ROTFL!!! You gotta love Vince's laidback delivery.

Yeah, Christine Taylor was really great in that role. I'm not surprised she and Ben kept cracking up while filming that scene. She did a good job acting like she was repulsed by him -- maybe she told herself, "Just imagine he's got really bad breath," or something like that.
