[bamahorrorfan87]

Donnie Darko (Donnie Darko)

[Sculpt]

When we had a Supporting Characters tourney, it's only fitting to compliment it with a Leading Characters tourney as well. I have been preparing this for quite some time now, as per requests from fellow HDC members alkytrio666, ferretchucker & Dante'sInferno.

Now is the best time for it (I hope).

I have put a limitation for the tournament though - only ONE lead per film. That way it will allow us to have a bit more diversity in the tourney and, let's admit it, there's always ONE lead character which gets to hog the limelight AND the movie (there being very, very few exceptional films which score otherwise).

Sorry folks, no mainstream/popular villains here. The lead could be an anti-hero/anti-heroine/villainous character, but pure villains get their fair share of attention (and threads/tournament). Not here.

This will start later in the day. Let the anticipation begin!

Say, V, can you clarify what we are voting for? What is the criteria? How good the actor did as the character? How much we liked the character in the film? To be sarcastic -- how much we like the actor? What criteria are you asking us to judge?

Michael Emerson.

[metternich1815]

What is with you people and voting for characters from fucking Grindhouse?

Michael Emerson.

Michael Emerson is good, but is my least favorite of those. Of the other two, it is a tough call for me, personally. Mark Lewis is an excellent character from a classic (Peeping Tom), but I thought Kurt Russel delivered a very strong performance as Stuntman Mike. On the topic of Grindhouse, I really enjoyed the film (films, if you view them separately), I thought it was one of the best horror films of the past decade. Death Proof being my favorite of the two in the double feature. At the end of the day film and especially characters are subjective. So, while I might disagree with you, I do respect your opinion and will say that all three, in my opinion, are really strong characters.

Hey to each his own man, if you like the film that's cool. I just don't get all the love behind it. I just didn't find it very good but if you liked it who am i to disagree with you.

I know lots of folks liked Lost Boys, but don't you think Michael Emerson was rather boring and completely unmemorable?

No offense, but on that token I can't believe all the people voting for Michael. In my opinion, he is clearly the weakest of the three characters. I respect your opinion, but, strongly disagree. Even if you dislike Death Proof, I can not see how you can deny that Kurt Russel delivered strong performance (even if, in your opinion, not the strongest). Anyway, I am not trying to insult you or your opinion, merely defend mine. No offense has been intended, of course.

Perfectly fine. The only reason i'm voting for Emerson is because i hated Grindhouse and did not think Kurt Russell put in a good performance. Also i've never seen Peeping Tom. A problem i will soon rectify. The Lost Boys though is still an iconic fan favorite while Grindhouse was a kitschy failed attempt at an homage to old Grindhouse films which i never liked to begin with. It's fine if people want to vote for him, it just surprises me is all.

Yeah, I've never been much of a Lost Boys fan. I saw it a couple times when I was younger, but honestly don't remember anything about it other than I thought it was kinda cheesy. I wonder if I would like it better now. It's been at least 20 years.

Ya, I didn't really get the love for Lost Boys. I thought it was more style (MTV) than substance. I've always been a Lou Gramm (Foreigner) fan, he did some songs for it.

It's kinda funny... a long time friend of mine (who's a little touched) posted a trailer of Lost Boys on youtube (he posts about 10-15 a week, which I comment on from time-to-time). I commented that I thought it was OK, but had a bit of an overrated following, and mentioned some things I thought was weak. He posted that Lost Boys was part of who he was, cussed me out, and de-friended me (which he's done to others in our circle of friends). About a year latter he apologized and were friends again.

Of course ending a friendship because your friend expressed low esteem for a film is irrational & immature; but I wondered if God was telling me I should keep more of my inconsequential opinions to myself. He's probably right. = ) But luckily we have HDC were exchanging opinions on film is the venue. But people still idolize films, music and artists, where for some they are the gods of their 'religion'. But I can't help thinking (silently) to myself there should be more important things filling that 'empty spot' besides things like The Lost Boys.

I'll go with Vincent Smith.

[Giganticface]

I've only seen The Fly so I'll sit out this one.

[metternich1815]

I've only seen The Fly so I'll sit out this one.

You definitely need to see Motel Hell. It is not a masterpiece (in fact, it is quite cheesy), but it is a horror movie that all horror movie fans should watch at least once. I find it quite entertaining. I really liked the characters, especially Farmer Vincent and his sister (hence why I voted for him). Also, the film had an influence on future horror movies (including House of 1000 Corpses).

[Sculpt]

Wow, tough choice. All those performances made the respective films work. I think the performance that was most important, and likely most difficult, was David Hedison as Andre Delambre. He added intensity, and most of the film through pantomime.

Yes, Motel Hell was bit famous in it's time. It's not a great film, but it works in it's own way. It's very tongue-in-cheek. My sister and I used to joke about it a lot.
