I wanted to choke the living shit out of Faye Valentine in the Cowboy Bebop series and movie. I understand that she had some excuse for being the way she was, but her gambling and self-centeredness irked me.
Ah, it’s seems to me that you are under the impression that I think characters that make you angry are a bad thing. Which I don’t understand because, as I said in the OP, Lauren Holly (thanks to the poster who put a name to the actress) deserves an award for her 10 minute portrayal of an absolute bitch.
And I still don’t quite understand what you are trying to say. We should like Giamatti’s character because he’s reprehensible? That makes no sense to me. He is reprehensible. He was written that way. Just because every one of us has it in us to be an asshat doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get angry at a character who absolutely deserves our anger.
Two words: Jar Jar
Percy from The Green Mile certainly deserves an Oscar for Outstanding Achievement in Douchebaggery. Oh, to be able to reach through the screen and smack the crap out of somebody…
To the person who mentioned Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter movies and books: I would also add the Malfoys, both Draco and his father Lucius. I know Tom Felton is a rather attractive young man, and that makes certain fangirls sympathetic toward his character, but the fact is, Rowling created Draco as an evil, conniving little shit, and Felton makes that clear in his portrayal of him. More than once I’ve watched a Harry Potter movie and felt the urge to reach into the screen and beat up Draco for some asshole comment he made to Harry or his friends, as well as the way he tried to get them in trouble with Umbridge in the fifth book and movie. The same goes for Lucius, for his haughty attitude as well as the way he treated Dobby. Still, I enjoyed the scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in the bookstore, when Ginny tells Draco to leave Harry alone, and she looks as fierce as an 11-year-old girl can, and Draco says something along the lines of “So, Potter, you have a girlfriend now.” I didn’t realize that when I first saw it, but that was what Rowling calls an “anvil-sized hint.” 
I know you’re supposed to feel some degree of sympathy for Draco in book 6, for the way he’s being used by the Death Eaters (I won’t spoil here in case someone on this board still hasn’t read it), but I still didn’t like him.
A film about cold-blooded killers, one of whom like to torture cops, and you get angry about* tipping*? :eek: :rolleyes: :dubious:
And see while I didn’t like the malfoys they were just bad guys. They did bad guy stuff and then laughed and got away (well you know, not really but humor me here. ) but Dolores was a cold bitch. She did things in the name of good and right even though she knew he was right about he who shall not be named.
I disliked them all, I wanted to choke the living shit out of Umbridge!
(sorry for the harsh, but I hated her!)
Dude, this is the SDMB. You’ve been here long enough to know that improper tipping is a sin more mortal than mere murder. Do I need to dig you up five or six threads’ worth of cites?
Just don’t mention anything about letting cats roam outside. :eek: 
You have seen the video?
Or wearing shoes in the house.
Or peeing in the shower.
Or circumcising your infant son? (Yeah. I went there.)
Nobody mentioned Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman yet? :eek:
Yes, circumcising him in the shower while peeing on your rabbi’s shoes. And not tipping him at all.
I liked him! He was a pedophile, but he was somewhat realistic and sympathetic. And he is fighting his urges, even though it’s hard. It’s hard to dislike Kevin Bacon because he’s always so cute…I think that made it a bit easier for me to enjoy his performance.
I can’t stand Brad Majors or Dr. Scott from The Rocky Horror Picture show. Something about them makes me want to throw stuff at the screen and start yelling, although not in the traditional RHPS way.
OK, well then how about Kevin Bacon* as the pedophile in Sleepers? Was that hateful enough for you? 
- yes, ephebophile, I know.
Agreed. And the movie ends with her joining the secret agent world because a) she’s good at being a secret agent and b) she enjoys the adventure of it.
What if you tip him with modern art?
Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. Hey, anyone can have a mid-life crisis but you don’t have to screw up your family (even if your wife is a…female dog) and go lusting after your teenage daughter’s friend. I had no sympathy for him, thought he was creepy and just couldn’t get why the critics raved over this movie.
