Did y'all see this 13 Villains from NY Times magazine?
Video of thirteen different actors playing classic villains in short, impressionistic clips. There's some really amazing stuff on here. Viola Davis had the creepiest, but Gary Oldman came close.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The bar is apparently kind of low for villainy this year. Kirsten Dunst? Not remotely scary. Jean DuJardin? Angry boxer. Adepero Oduye? Dependent entirely on knowing canon.
Also Mia should wear safety goggles. You could put an eye out!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ooh, I liked the Rooney Mara one. But are they calling Lisbeth Salander a villain? That I don't quite get.

I don't think so. I think she was just Alex from Clockwork Orange.

Heh. I had the same reaction.

I don't think there's a think there.

Ah, I thought they had picked the 13 best cinematic villains from this year to play iconic cinematic villains from years past. (Which made me think, "Why isn't Antonio Banderas on this list??")

No, it's just actors that have (apparently) done good work this year. I haven't seen most of them in anything, but I don't get out much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
11 Anachronistic Photos From Behind The Scenes
There is something discombobulating about Ring Wraiths using umbrellas. Just because the actors are portraying fantastical worlds or lush time periods doesn't mean they don't need modern conveniences.
My fave is the Harry Potter one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Those are fantastic - they remind me of some of the outtakes on the BSG TOS DVDs where the cylons are just standing around chatting in between takes.
