The Not-So Austen Bookclub discussion

Which villain had you quaking in your boots? Which one of the dastardly men and women that wish to destroy good and have evil conquer made you consider joining the Death Eaters?! If you've ever loved, really hated or even appreciated the genius behind such villainous actions, here is the place to talk all about it!

The number one villain...who will take that spot?!

Oooh! This is a tricky one and i am tied between Voldemort and Sauron. x

I say Voldemort. Mostly because as a Villian he is le epic.

But otherwise he is just plain evil.

So yeah, Voldemort is my fave villian of all time

Voldemort.

Voldemort.
Sebastian

Sebastian definitely!

I find him very unique:)

I loved Julia Roberts as the evil Queen in Mirror,Mirror, but I like Darth Vader

I haven't seen Mirror Mirror and I have only seen the first 2 Star Wars movies, as I am having trouble finding the 3rd.

hmm soo many out there..but probably the classic Voldemort!

Olivia wrote: "Voldemort.
Sebastian"

YES! i agree completely with both!

Stan wrote: "I loved Julia Roberts as the evil Queen in Mirror,Mirror, but I like Darth Vader"

*grins* I forgot about Darth Vader! That's a good one too!

I love Julia Roberts and i would love to see 'Mirror. Mirror' as it looks to be a great comedy!! :)x

I would love to see it as well, even though I heard that it was an awful movie...

Me too! It's looks fun and silly! But, I REALLY want to see Snow white and the Huntsman!!!!

What is with all the Snw White remakes lately???
Voldemort (obvi) and Sebastien

I just saw it today! It's really good:) Kristen Stewart actually did ok.

ahh!! lucky! I can't wait to see it!! :)

*****Spoiler Alert!!!********







Not so sure about all time, but right now i would have to say Mei Xing from the girl in the clockwork collar. she is a villain and she broke Jasper's heart!

I am with Anna in that i cannot wait to see the film 'Snow white & the Huntsman' which looks completely increadible!!
* Olivia: you are very lucky! :)x

Olivia, I am veryy jealous of your job! It sounds perfect!!!! The only thing better would be to work at a bookstore and get free books :)

It is pretty great:) And to be able to work at the bookstore I had to be 18 and I'm not sooo:(

I have to say Darth Vader. Very evil man.

I have the best choice...it's either Sweeney Todd or the guy I can't figure how out to spell his name from Les Miserables...he sings "Dog Eats Dog".

That's really hard!
Here's my short list
Voldemort from the Harry Potter series
Sauron from the Lord of the Rings
Penny wise/IT from IT
Norman Bates from Psycho
The Aliens from Alien
Jaws the Shark from Jaws

In film...Tim Curry as Darkness in Legend. It's one of Tom Cruise's first films and it is largely forgotten. Which is a shame, because it's really beautiful from a visual standpoint. The story is standard fantasy fare, with fairies, goblins, and unicorns. For it's time, it was ground-breaking, but with today's CGI it will likely seem cheesy. But the unicorns are still some of the best I've seen.

Never seen it. I'll check it out:)

Thenardier! My high school did a production of Les Mis a few years ago and I played Madame Thenardier! We won 3rd place in the nation in a USA Today contest.

Yes! And that is amazing:)

The whole rotten-to-the-core Le Noir family from the Hidden Hand.
Just one of the best villains. There are LOTS.

If you like fantasy, it's definitely worth it. And since it's so old, probably an easy find on Netflix. Enjoy!

Sweeney is a definite villain - but he's also the kind of villain you love as well as hate!!

Haha yay!!!!! And I'm not the biggest fan of Kristen Stewart but everyone else did really well:)

Nor am I, but she did ok. I loveeeed the Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman! ;)

Anna wrote: "Nor am I, but she did ok. I loveeeed the Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman! ;)"

Me too! He is soo amazing:P He did great as Thor too!

The evil queen ( I can't remember her real name) did absolutely fantastic!

I know! She's a great actress! She was a veryy good villain!

She was the perfect villain:)

Dracula. He scares me because he's so smooth (...well, in the book anyway) you don't even realize he's got you under his thumb. *shivers*

Or possibly the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow. Brrr.

This is sooooo hard! Hmmm....for books I would say:

Claude and Parnell Sanguinet & Imre Monteil - from the Sanguinet Saga by Patricia Veryan (you guys probably won't know who I'm talking about, sadly)

Claude is insane but always acts very calm and smooth which makes him, well, creepy.

Parnell is just plain disturbing. (You know, the drowning kittens type.)

Imre Montiel is almost a mix of the two.

*Voldemort
*Sauron
*Delores Umbridge
*Rumplestiltskin / Regina (Once Upon A Time)
*Sweeney Todd
*Cruela DeVille
*Lord Brocklehurst (Jane Eyre)
*The Master (Doctor Who)
*Moriarty (Sherlock)
*Witch Lamia (Stardust)

Those are some great villians!

Yep! :)

Ooh.... The Daleks are to me Villians.

The Daleks and Cybermen!
