"Evil will win because Good is dumb."

Today's both Hump Day and Rabbit Rabbit Day. What's Rabbit Rabbit Day? Superstition goes that if you say "rabbit rabbit" as soon as you get out of bed on the first day of the month, you'll have good luck all month. It's also the first day of October, which makes me happy. I love October. Maybe it's because I'm a big Halloween junkie, I don't know.

There's not a lot to talk about right now. Just watching Aliens on TV. Did you know they're making an Alien vs. Predator movie? Yeah, it's supposed to come out next year. According to IMDb.com, here's the plot: "Hoping to lure a Predator clan to Antarctica using Alien eggs, a rogue team of scientists are caught in an intergalactic war between the two extremely violent species." Fox has just recently cast Lance Henriksen to play a role in it. You might remember him as Bishop, the android in Aliens and Alien 3. He'll be playing a millionaire sponsoring the research team. Oddly enough, the working title for the first Predator movie was "Alien Hunter." Strange but apparently true.

Remember a few months ago when the American Film Institute did their list of the Top 100 Movie Heroes and Villians? They did the top 50 heroes and top 50 villains and aired it on ABC, hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger (who was actually on both lists for The Terminator and Terminator 2). Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs and Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird topped the list. Well, around that same time, I did my own list of my twenty-five favorite movie villians. I like villians more than I do heroes, maybe because there wouldn't be heroes if it weren't for villians. So I've decided to now post that list here, with some minor alterations due to my own personal preference. Read and enjoy.

  23. Leatherface; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
  24. Dick Jones; RoboCop (1987)
  25. John Doe; Seven (1994)

I also have to make some notes about things: I know that Brian Cox played Hannibal Lector before Anthony Hopkins ever did, but Sir Hopkins played almost a different Hannibal. Brian Cox didn't get a Hannibal trilogy, did he?

Well, that's all for now. I don't have much to say. Gee, I started writing this thing two hours ago. Aliens is almost over now. That's all for this one, and I'm gone. See ya.
