Talkback: Who is the Most Unintentionally Scary Character in Movie History?

Happy Halloween, you incorrigible ghouls! Since we’ve already covered the legitimately scary side of film, let’s spend Halloween thinking about those movie characters that don’t mean to be scary, but very much are. I get the chills thinking about my picks. What’s yours? A few runners-up before I hand the crowd to my Unintentionally Scariest Character Ever: Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka (who is supposed to be a little scary), Faye Dunaway’s Diana Christensen in Network, Cloris Leachman’s fast-unraveling, hard-bitten Ruth Popper in The Last Picture Show, Corey Feldman’s slyly maniacal Teddy Duchamp in Stand By Me, and the freakishly chipper and soulless Peter Pan in Peter Pan. And now, our winner: It’s Mary Tyler Moore as the chilly, self-absorbed, determinedly unloving mother in Ordinary People. First things first, dears: While Raging Bull rules, it is not a travesty that Ordinary People won Best Picture. Still my choice for the greatest family drama of all time, and we all know I find Robert Redford humorlessly sexless. Now: Mary Tyler Moore’s character makes life difficult for her traumatized son (Timothy Hutton), and it’s not until the end of the movie that she’s isolated as a toxic member of their grieving household. Her staunch resentment is, to me, alarming and real. It doesn’t hurt that Mary Tyler Moore seems to tap into this character with ease; it’s pretty scary to think of Mary Richards as a disturbed, dead-eyed happy face. Chills! I swear, chills! What’s your choice?

Warner Bros. Wins Round in Battle with Superman Lawyer

Timothy A. Clay/AFP/Getty Images The lawsuit brought by Warner Bros. against attorney Marc Toberoff for allegedly interfering with contracts over rights to Superman will continue. On Tuesday,a California federal judge rejected Toberoff's attempt to strike the lawsuit on First Amendment grounds. PHOTOS: Top 10 Summer Superheroes of All Time: Battle of Box Office Brawn Warner Bros. brought the lawsuit after years of battling the estates of Superman co-creatorsJerry Siegel andJoe Shuster, represented by Toberoff. The estates have largely been successful in exploiting the termination provisions of the U.S. Copyright Act in an attempt to wrestle back control over the lucrative Superman franchise. So in 2010, Warners executed a new strategic counter-attack by filing a tortious interference suit against Toberoff, arguing that the parties had nearly executed a settlement agreement in 2002 before Toberoff inserted himself into the situation unlawfully. Specifically, the studio pointed to agreements with the Shusters made by one of Toberoff's companies, Pacific Pictures Corporation, where a joint venture was established to exploit the Shusters' rights. In response, Toberoff filed an anti-SLAPP motion, saying that Warners' gambit violated First Amendment protections such as the right to petition. PHOTOS: Comic Book Characters in Dispute The parties submitted thousands of pages presenting their respective sides. Warners introduced all sorts of agreements and correspondence from more than a decade ago in an effort to show Toberoff was involved in a sly ploy "designed to break off [the estates'] dealings with DC Comics and Warner Bros" and win rights for his own company. Meanwhile, on a threshold matter, Toberoff said he was merely performing legal duties and Warners had no right to impinge his constitutional protected activity. For now, U.S. District Court judge Otis Wright II has given Warners the edge, finding that Toberoff's motion to strike fails because "while such protected activity may evidence the alleged interference, it does not shield it." The judge finds "logic" in Warners' arguments that Toberoff interfered with the studio's rights under a prior 1992 agreement by striking his Pacific Pictures deal nearly a decade later. The judge says Toberoff has failed in his initial burden to demonstrate the claims arose out of protected activity. ' Of course, the ruling makes no measurement of the merits of Warners' claims. Having failed to establish the first prong under the anti-SLAPP statute, Judge Wright doesn't analyze the next prong -- Warners' likelihood of success in this case. Toberoff will likely have more opportunities tobeat the case in the pre-trial phase or win the case before a jury. But for now, Warner Bros. gets a small win -- albeit hard-fought -- and gets the case past its first roadblock. We've reached out to Toberoff for comment and will update with a response.

6 Iconic James Bond Villains That Javier Bardem Should Channel For Bond 23

After nine months of rumors, Javier Bardem has finally confirmed that he will assume the enviable role of villain in the next James Bond movie, Bond 23. So just which Bond baddie should the Academy Award winner channel when plotting against Daniel Craig’s “007?” Movieline suggests a half dozen iconic Bond evil doers below. Dr. No Bond Films: Dr. No (1962) Portrayed By: Joseph Wiseman What better Bond villain to begin with than the very first to be portrayed onscreen: Dr. Julius No. This titular antagonist appeared stiff and emotionless onscreen — qualities that could be attributed to his troubled childhood (unwanted child of a German missionary), his rejection from American and Soviet intelligence agencies or the fact that this mad scientist lost both of his hands in radiation experiments. By the start of the film, his hands have been replaced by metal ones making this villain partially bionic and ultimately, not manually dexterous enough to escape pools of boiling coolant. Red Grant Bond Films: From Russia With Love (1963) Portrayed By: Robert Shaw Or maybe Bardem would like to forgo the “mad scientist” routine in favor of playing a “psychopathic killer” like Russian henchman Red Grant, who was dispatched to kill Bond as revenge for knocking off Dr. No. Fit enough to take a brass knuckled punch from his superior Rosa Klebb, this homicidal paranoiac is a slick silent killer who favors a garotte wire (hidden in his watch) over firepower. Grant proved to be one of Bond’s most formidable opponents in their classic train fight scene. Auric Goldfinger Bond Films: Goldfinger (1964) Portrayed By: Gert Frbe And then there’s the more intriguing, animated type of villain such as Auric Goldfinger, the Bond baddie with the Midas touch. Remembered as the most sinister antagonist to challenge 007, this portly, megalomaniac gold smuggler provided so much more than the previous, one-dimensional villains including memorable quips (“No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.”), deliciously evil mannerisms and a fascination with historical Nazi gold bars. Played by the non-English speaking actor Gert Frbe, all of Goldfinger’s lines were dubbed in by Michael Collins.
