I'm watching Cheers on Peacock, and Diane Chambers is downright unbearable. The rest of the cast is greatness.

Who gives Uncle Billy that much money?
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
This was only his second film so I think either he missed it or didn't have the budget to go back for reshoots (like one poster stated).DallasTeleAg said:I really don't understand how things like that make it through shooting a movie. Does Linklater just not realize he's doing it all the time while filming? Does he not notice during editing? Is he basically stuck with a few takes of each scene where the actor grabs the bridge of his nose? It really is distracting during the movie.Prosperdick said:Plus he lied about being able to play baseball so when poor Linklater saw him try to pitch he had to hire another actor for the baseball scenes (he learned his lesson and fixed that "glitch" with his film Everybody Wants Some!!).Bruce Almighty said:
Mitch was one nose grab away from me never watching Dazed and Confused again.
But back to your point about his horrible acting as you mentioned with the OCD nose grabbing...Linklater really spit the bit with this casting but because he nailed just about everything else (especially the soundtrack), it remains a classic.
Also, the way he shot the film was fairly organic. For instance, the Pickford character (the one who originally was hosting the party before his parents found out) was supposed to have a much larger role but the actor was apparently kind of a d-bag and was hooking up so much with Milla Jovovich offset that he basically cost himself a lot of screentime (can you blame him, though).
The biggest change was McConaughey was supposed to have a small role but since he was so captivating on screen Linklater started just coming up with bits to get him into the movie more. Of course you could ask the question "If Linklater could tell Matthew has major star power on screen how did he also miss OCD nose grabber?"
I guess we'll never know unless someone has the balls to ask him.
What was the point of this thread? Oh yeah, villains. I'll throw mine out there, Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the ****oo's Nest. Nicholson was SOOOO damn good in this movie that it makes you hate her with the passion of a thousand suns.

I was going to second Dolores Umbridge before seeing this comment. Diane is absolutely the worst character of all time and it has to be because Shelley Long is unbearable as a human being because her character in Modern Family is just as bad.
She was pretty good in Night Shift:Capt_Crunch 14 said:AR_Ag95 said:

Few "friendlies" frustrated me like ...
Alec D'Urberville
He is pure evil

I am rewatching The Sopranos and am amazed again at the great James Gandolfini's Tony and so many of the other characters. I love Phil Leotardo and Richie Aprile.
But most of all I am reminded of how much I can't stand AJ. He is the whiniest ***** of the series. He was a creepy geek for most of the series but became such a complete poon once he became a young adult that I can barely watch the scenes he is in.

I think there are others I would above him but currently right in front of me it's this guy:
His weird mouth and smile, his absolute evil while being an emotional midget, his bizarre hard to watch sex scenes because he's a freaking weirdo.

Her sole purpose for existing in life is being a ***** to Doug and making his life miserable.

In the early years of the series she was smoking hot though

Habib Marwan would be mine. From "24" season 4.
Jean-Ralphio and Leslie Knope?? How about the guy who ruined the show, that screaming fruitcake Craig?
Also, Carrie Heffernan is still better than Helen Hunt on "Mad About You".

Look up actors born the same year as Mitch and (1) you'll see about 50 that could have done a better job, especially guys that would fit the 70's pre-stoner role like Danny Masterson, Sean William Scott and Joey Lawrence, (2) you'll have your mind blown that guys like Danny Masterson and Sean William Scott are the same age as Benedict Cumberbatch and Danny McBride.Prosperdick said:This was only his second film so I think either he missed it or didn't have the budget to go back for reshoots (like one poster stated).DallasTeleAg said:I really don't understand how things like that make it through shooting a movie.

Worst Villain: Colonel William Tavington in the Patriot
Worst Character: Janice Soprano, every role Sarah Silverman has done
I guess I'm in the minority here, but I didn't mind Mitch. With as many great characters as there were, you needed a believable/unforgettable guy that was basically just following the leader and going with the flow.
Also, Linklater must not have hated him too much since he was the main character in Waking Life. Granted that was animated, but they used his likeness.

My sister is the cellist in Waking Life and I believe the only character called out by name, Sara, which is her real name.

Craig is horrible.
They ran out of ideas. They shipped off Chris Traeger and Ann Perkins. They replace them with Craig, who yells for no reason.
It was bad.
Joffrey Baratheon.
Psychopath with autocratic power, also stupid and cowardly.
Pretty much any and every reason you'd hate a character.

Tea Leoni in Jurassic Park 3.
First of all, who would get divorce from William H. Macy? Guy is a saint and he owns his own business.
Second of all, she's a horrible mother. Yeah, let me send my son out with my new boyfriend to some third-world country with a parasail over a dinosaur island, nothing bad will happen.
Third, she screams her head off repeatedly despite frequent warnings that DINOSAURS WILL COME AT YOU.
Fourth, when she finds her dead boyfriend's mangled skeleton she's sad for maybe 90 seconds.
Fifth, and worst of all, she doesn't get eaten by a dinosaur. There were literally dozens of opportunities for this to happen and it never did. The T-REX, the thing with the big sail, the pterodactyls, and the velociraptors. What the hell, raptors? You got soft over on Site B? Fat and happy eating all those babies in the lab and you forgot how to hunt? Cheetah speed and hyper intelligent and can't shut this dumb ho up with your razor-sharp claws?
Just open your mouth, dummy!
And sixth, this is the dialogue for the end of the movie
Erik : Where do you think they're going?
Dr. Grant : I don't know. Maybe just looking for new nesting grounds. It's a whole new world for them.
Amanda : I dare 'em to nest in Enid, Oklahoma.
Are you ****ing kidding me? Alan Grant has to let her have the last line? Homeboy survived two JP movies and she throws that lame **** in over John Williams score? Give me a break. Even this guy thinks it's a terrible line.

Oooohhhhh.... Excellent call on Percy.
Yeah. Bruce Dern in The Cowboys.
livia soprano, janice soprano, chuck hamlin
How did we get this far without this POS?
Elizabeth Keen from Blacklist. Wife and I were very happy when she was killed off.
Carl the walking dead was pretty insufferable as well.
