Top five fictional villains forsakanagi
1/ Littlefinger (ASOIAF) he's just so clever, he's a such a bastard yet I can't help but loving him
2/ Desty Nova (Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita) cuz he's my favourite mad scientist ever
3/ the Mayor (BtVS) My favourite Buffy villain (and Buffy had plenty of very cool villains), I just love his cheerful, all-American style
4/ Drusilla (BtVS) Crazy, sadistic, weirdly innocent and generally awesome
5/ Cutler Beckett (PotC) I seriously adore this little guy. Smart, cool, ruthless, ambitious and adequatly fearsome while being nicely understated
Top five ASoIaF characters you'd invite to a dinner party forredcandle17
1/ Oberyn, he obviously knows how to party
2/ Sansa, she'd be polite and cool and compliment people and look pretty
3/ Tyrion, he'd be witty and fun, and if it was my birthday he'd buy me a rare book which is awesome, and in case someone gets murdered we can always blame him
4/ Jaime, also witty and also looking pretty
5/ Tom O'Seven, for the music. Bonus point if he insults everyone and it ends up in one big brawl

None of them masterpieces you understand :P but Highly highly entertaining stuff.
House of flying daggers is by the same director as Hero. As Curse of the golden flower, that doesn't have any kung fu I can think of though, but mighty fine acting (based on King Lear)

Date: 29 March 2008 10:28 pm (UTC)I did watch - and loved - House of the flying daggers, i agree it was a great scene dramatically if a bit overdone. Curse of the golden flower, that's the one called la cité impériale in French, watched it too. Gorgeous movie and I loved the Empress character (she kept making me think of how unhappy I am with Cersei as a character... >_>;;), I do love a good tragedy, and it did have a little bit of good fighting scenes too.
I think I have a DVD of Azumi lent by a friend lying somewhere, I should find it and watch it although I'm not usually as fan of Japanese martial art movies as I am of the Kung Fu ones :D (very different aesthetic)

Date: 31 March 2008 08:30 am (UTC)I did not know this, but it makes a lot of sense. Saw the film last year for my birthday, and my friends were all very disappointed by the lack of kung fu, and I'm there going 'but this is awesome! what's wrong with you people?'
