Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

Favorite Movie Villains
Okay, I hope there's no thread like this that I've missed; I did a search and didn't come across one.

Title's pretty self-explanatory; discuss or list your favorite film baddies to date.

I'll kick things off with some of mine.

Darth Vader (body by David Prowse, voice by James Earl Jones)
Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman in Die Hard)
Gollum (Andy Serkis)
Oddjob (Harold Sakata in Goldfinger)
The Joker (Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger)
Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen)
General Zod (Terence Stamp)
Jafar (voice by Jonathan Freeman)
Scar (Jeremy Irons)
Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes)

Okay, that's enough from me. So what are all of your favorite cinematic foes?

That would be our very own gertiekeddle


I'm a big fan of Darth Vader,
Snow White's stepmother when she changes into the old hag

but above all Charles Rane from Passenger 57 because he is so evil but so hot all at the eame time.

Darth Vader definitely is among my favourite movie villains as well - just a classic. But usually I'm more for the book villains I admit.

All right, all right, let's not start bashing movies we didn't like or the people involved with them. There are other threads for that.

Oh no, you weren't offensive or unfriendly or anything, it's just that I want to keep this thread appreciative in nature.

And I cannot believe I forgot to mention: Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi) - Dracula
One of those performances that just makes the movie. If it had been any other actor, I think the movie would have sank like a stone. He's the movie's lead, yes, but undoubtedly a villain.

I second these. And I add:

Archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) - The Prophecy
Bill (David Carradine) - Kill Bill

And from the Pirates movies:

Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush)
Davy Jones (Bill Nighy)
Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander)

Re: Favorite Movie Villains
Hmm -- for me it would be:

The Joker -- downright twisted and insane...
Magneto -- evil outright...
Darth Vader -- evil, but also just a cog in the corprate machine...

Vizzini!!! Good villain, indeed, though Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen have little to envy him.

I support Darth Vader and Lord Voldemort, of course...

The Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow. For a bloke with no face, he's quite expressive!

The Ring in The Lord of the Rings.

Harry Lyme (Orson Welles) in The Third Man.

Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) in Singing in the Rain.

Mrs Danvers in Rebecca.

Ralph Fiennes in Schinder's List.

Re: Favorite Movie Villains
My favorite topic: villains I just cant name all my favorites villains, perhaps I must say I LOVE all villains
But these ones... I would mention definitely::
Captain Hook

Doctor Loveless


They´re both HP actors, they´re both blonde in HP but here they have dark hair and beard, they are both mutilated: Hook is hand-less, Loveless is Leg-less XDDD
And they are both bad guys.

My fav Ralph Fiennes villain is Voldy, its more nicer there XDDDDDDDDD
I love too Dr Evil (Austin Powers) LLLOOOL, Anakin Skywalker-Darth Vader, many of the Disney villains, Cap Barbosa (POTC) Many XDDDDDDDDDDDD

Re: Favorite Movie Villains
The Squid guy in Pirates of the Caribbean! Oh, I've forgotten his name! Yeah, he was great and I really liked his sad, love story

Also, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort - the most perfect choice. He's just so...evil. A great villain

His name is Davy Jones and he's my favorite villian. Others inlcude:
Ralph Fiennes as Voldy
David Carridine as Bill (kill Bill)
Oren (Lucy Liu's character from kill bill)

Davy Jones! Of course! Thanks

I often like villains who aren't just purely bad for no reason. A bit of complexity and a deep past often make movie villains a lot better (and scarier ) IMO

Re: Favorite Movie Villains
Umbridge-she reminded me of my least-favorite teacher, so therefore was perfect.
Voldy, Vader, Cruella DeVille, Davey Jones.
I don't know about you guys, but Cal, the fiancee in 'Titanic' is a pretty good villian. He's self-servicing to the end, and I think that's what makes a perfect villian.
And as for villians that are so terrible they're funny, the Duke in Moulin Rouge.
