If you were going to cast Rove as a movie villain, who would it be?

[Cyrano]

[TrueAmerican]

1. Hannibal Lector

easy

[Cyrano]

19. I don't know. Yeah, he's a cannibal and all, but

in the sequel, he saves Clarise and, to escape, cuts off his own hand rather than hers. All in all, we're talking about a major league pschopath who has style. It's hard to hate him.

[Renew Deal]

2. The Penguin

[xchrom]

9. yeah -- i'm on board with that.

[librechik]

25. that was my thought too! n/t

[YOY]

3. None of them

Try a character who is a vinditive little crap who works behind the curtain and possibly holds more power than he has earned (perhaps all the power) of a regime.

Someone who has used lies, treachery, and deceit to get to where he is.

Someone who is not physically imposing at all.

and the movie's name was "Predator", as in an entity who stalks and kills another/others.

[Cyrano]

16. Check out choice number 4 above.

And welcome to DU.

[Democrats_win]

4. Dr. Frankenstein

With bush as the monster.

[Mr. McD]

5. The black tar evil slime

in Star Trek TNG:)

[Cyrano]

17. Oooohhh, that's good.

[punpirate]

6. As Hans Beckert...

... Peter Lorre's character in Fritz Lang's "M."

[Canuckistanian]

7. Grima Wormtongue

From Lord of the Rings. Perfect.

[norml]

8. Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life

[Canuckistanian]

14. Ah, but Mr. Potter goes unpunished

And gets to keep the money he's stolen.

[blindpig]

10. The Blob, jabba is too articulate and too nice n/t

[tridim]

11. He's already been cast as a villain on "American Dad"

[Touchdown]

12. A Surf Nazi

Oh damn! I said the "N" word. My bad!:evilgrin:

[FuzzyDicePHL]

13. I liked the thread a few wks ago

comparing Rove to the brainbug from "Starship Troopers."

Can't find it now, but it was an apt comparison.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. Wo-Fat: McGarrett's arch-enemy on Hawaii Five-O

[mrbscott19]

18. It would be

The riddler

[cascadiance]

20. Fat Bastard or Baron Harkonen!

Fat Bastard of Austin Powers:



or Baron Harkonen of Dune



And then Jeff Gannon could play Feyd Rautha instead of Sting!

[gulliver]

21. The little Nazi guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark whose hand ...

... got burned by the hot medallion shard.

BTW, I'm not calling Rove a Nazi. He just reminds me of that character.

[KayLaw]

26. I can't believe you said that

I was just going to post the same thing! I was thinking of the scene when he took a poker and got it hot to threaten the heroine's face. The look of pure, sadistic evil. . .that's our Karl.

[The Jacobin]

22. No one truly evil.

Just some jackass punk who has the ear of the powerful, but never has to face any harm himself.

I'll have to think about it for a bit. (I like the suggestion of Wormtounge from Tolkien.)

[PurityOfEssence]

23. Captain Renard in "To Have and to Have Not"

Played unctiously by Dan Seymour.

He was a bloated, deeply corrupt fascist cop with fingers in everyone's pies.

[KittyWampus]

24. Richard The Third, Shakespeare.

[AngelAsuka]

27. What? No Dr. Evil?!?

<nt> :)

[ck4829]

28. Karl Rove: "I didn't go to Evil Political School to be called 'Mr.',...

thank you very much".

[earthboundmisfit]

29. But he's a ringer for the puffy Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark

Acts like him, too...

[Cocoa]

30. one of the "They Live" aliens

[dogday]

31. Karl "Jabba" Rove - Has a nice ring to it n/t

[Cyrano]

35. Not bad. How about Karl the Hutt?

[Tommymac]

32. Boss Hog

[muriel_volestrangler]

33. The Sta Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters

[sweetheart]

34. Rutger Hauer in "the hitcher" n/t
