Movie characters you just hate.
Okay, this is something i have been touching upon heavily in my essay on the original Dawn of the Dead. I hate Stephen. ihate him with every part of my being. every movie has some dipshit who cant do anything right, and he is the one for Dawn.
Steve in the new one is a close second, but idont hate him NEARLY as much as Stephen from the original. For fuck's sake, he starts to fallasleep while flying a helocopter.. what kind of dumbfuck is that stupid? What movie characters do you hate?

the army guy from Day of the Dead.
(i keep forgetting the name) He was the ultimate crazy bastard. These guys - by the way - are usually the best actors - to envoke such a strong emotional response from you. Great casting too - that prick in the Dawn remake was such a smarmy little snake ... he had the perfect look for the job.

Strangely enough, he was in Blackhawk Down as one of the more tragic characters too. YOu remember the guy that was drawing fantasy pictures and wanted to illustrate children's books? he was the one who gets blown off the back of a hummer, loses both of his legs, and then tells the guys picking him up to tell his daughters he will be okay just before he dies. Same actor. pretty decent range there, because i would have killed steve a long time before.

Are you talking, hate the character i.e. Rhodes from Day of the Dead who was a total prick and got what he deserved or more in the line of hate the portrayal of a character where it almost ruined the movie because said someone was so annoying or so over the top as to not be realistic?

I first thought that he and the other 2 humps were over the top until i saw it the second time and tried to imagine how a couple of dumb ass followers and one cunning leader would handle the exact situation. (armagedon) and i think they were perfectly accurate in that light. I think you'd start to get pretty loose around the cranium in those quarters under those circumstances, if you were at all questionable to begin with..

ohh i gotcha .. i think since the question was 'characters' and his example after that pointed to his asking about the 'written character' not the validity of the performer ...

I was actually orignally talking about the guy who knocked up the blonde in the orginal dawn, that gets killed in the elevator, but newb, you are correct, he was a pretty godamn annoying character.
Not nearly as bad as the fat guy with the beard who always wore sunglasses and his hat on backwards, then blows his brains out in the end. Or that stupid fuck who lets all the zombies in at the end... i REALLY fucking hated him... Pretty bad when a drooling zombie who knows how to salute is a more likeable character than you....

I think that was the end-point of Day .. That a zombie was more admirable - more human - than the human. Sort of a play on Lord of the Flies too .. Put a group of people in an adverse condition to see who leads, who survives, who remains human. Its easy to be a super-de-dooper guy when everything's going your way .. its how you react when you're under the gun that determines what kind of person you really are. A couple of the reasons why Day is slowly becoming my favorite Dead film.
