My Five Favorite Movie Villains of 2022

[The following list contains MAJOR SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

De Guiche (Cyrano): A pompous, foppish aristocrat that wields his wealth and influence like a blunt instrument, Ben Mendelsohn’s De Guiche adds a delicious complication to the love triangle that drives Cyrano’s conflict. As far as he’s concerned, romance doesn’t exist; sexual relationships are all about power and control. This philosophy essentially positions him as the witty, strong-willed Roxanne’s antithesis—making his lecherous obsession with her all the more unsettling. His show-stopping song, “What I Deserve”, is a chilling ode to male entitlement and toxic masculinity.

Namor (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever): Regal. Machiavellian. Sexy as hell. Marvel’s original antihero is as complex and compelling on the big screen as he’s always been on the page: physically imposing yet deviously manipulative, temperamental yet sensitive, vindictive yet honorable. While he favors shock and awe tactics, absolutely devastating Wakanda’s forces in every skirmish, the leader of Talokan is also a cunning strategist and shrewd diplomat; even his eventual “defeat” ultimately benefits his empire—exactly as he orchestrated.

Miles Quaritch (Avatar: The Way of Water): Gleefully sadistic and unabashedly egomaniacal, the resurrected Colonel Miles Quaritch is machismo and bravado incarnate—a brutish jarhead with delusions of grandeur. His quest to avenge his own death at the hands of Jake Sully and Neytiri is motivated primarily by wounded pride; indeed, when he learns that his hated foe managed to tame his flying mount without the aid of sedatives, he becomes determined to mimic the feat—an act of petty one-upmanship that reveals everything the audience needs to know about his character.

[FINAL WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW THE BREAK!]

AJ Gilbride (Barbarian): What makes Justin Long’s unrepentant rapist so disturbing is that there’s nothing especially remarkable about his particular brand of evil; he’s simply an enormous douchebag, selfish and utterly devoid of empathy. Worst of all, he’s completely self-aware, frequently apologizing for his morally repugnant behavior and promising to change his wicked ways. Whenever an opportunity for redemption arises, however, he consistently rejects it—which makes his grisly, gory demise delightfully cathartic.

Miles Bron (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery): The killer at the center of Benoit Blanc’s latest murder mystery could easily have been a shallow sendup of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs; fortunately, Rian Johnson’s sharp script and Edward Norton’s savvy performance elevate the otherwise broad caricature. This New Age tech bro may be the dimmest bulb in any given room, but he’s charming, charismatic, and confident enough to inspire loyalty and obedience among his followers and hangers-on. He’s the personification of capitalism gone awry, living proof that you don’t need to be intelligent or industrious to become a billionaire—just conniving, manipulative, and ruthlessly pragmatic.

Honorable Mentions

Magenta (Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero): A scathing parody of author Akira Toriyama’s experiences with editorial interference—and a hilariously ineffectual antagonist to boot.

Corey Cunningham (Halloween Ends): A meditation on the cyclical, self-perpetuating nature of alienation and violence; this unjustly persecuted youth’s gradual corruption is heartbreakingly tragic.

The Grabber (The Black Phone): The perfect marriage between an iconic design (courtesy of Tom Savini) and a captivating performance (courtesy of Ethan Hawke); leaves an indelible impression with minimal screen time.

The Podestá (Pinocchio): The model conformist—unwaveringly jingoistic, mindlessly subservient, and incapable of independent thought. He'd be pitiful... were he not such an abusive, tyrannical, fascist piece of trash.

Colonel Tom Parker (Elvis): This Mephistophelian trickster enriches the rather predictable biopic surrounding him; I don’t know what the hell Tom Hanks is smoking nowadays, but it is imperative that Hollywood keeps him supplied.

The New Look, TV Series, AppleTV+

This emotionally thrilling series reveals the shocking story of how fashion icon Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn) and his contemporaries, including Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche), Pierre Balmain (Thomas Poitevin), Lucien Lelong (John Malkovich) and Cristóbal Balenciaga (Nuno Lopes), navigated the horrors of World War II and launched modern fashion.

Ugh I know you don’t post about this anymore but I’ve followed you since GoT season 7 came out and ik you loved Emilia so I just wanted to share some of the reviews about her from her new show. I’m so proud of her and she seems so excited about it 😭😭

“The standout of the series by a wide margin is Game of Thrones icon Emilia Clarke, who plays G’iah. Making her MCU debut in line with a stacked cast of seasoned veterans, Clarke elevates above all the rest into an echelon of her own.”

“The standout for me is Emilia Clarke, who is making her MCU debut! She’s a fantastic addition to this beyond talented cast"

“Emilia Clarke is great. Love how nuanced the writing is for her, and how layered her performance is."

“The casting of Emilia Clarke as a dangerously intense figure with conflicting impulses toward her own rise to power is hardly imaginative, but Clarke is good at her job and the kind of actor Marvel is lucky to get.” - Variety on Emilia Clarke’s performance

“Emilia Clarke and Ben Mendelsohn also put on engaging performances as Skrulls caught between the ambitions of their people and their dreams of a better world.” - Collider on Emilia Clarke’s performance

“Sam Jackson is great as usual but Kingsley Ben-Adir and Emilia Clarke are clear standouts."

"Emilia Clarke absolutely steals every scene she's in."

"I'm loving Emilia Clarke. She’s cunning, misunderstood, but morally questionable."

“To work with Emilia Clarke, you know I watch Game of Thrones…to work with the Queen… Mother of Dragons, it was great too.” - Samuel L. Jackson on working with Emilia Clarke in Marvel’s Secret Invasion.

Ugh the love she’s receiving is just so amazing to me! The way people still call her The Queen and are just so honored to be working with someone like her. She’s been speaking more positively about the set for secret invasion than she ever did about working with the game of thrones cast. Don’t know if you’ll be watching but I’m watching for her!

This is so awesome. She deserves this. I might have to check this out after all.

“Ben Mendelsohn Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ” by GQ

Transcript by CCKN is under the cut

[0:00]Ben Mendelsohn: Sissy Spacek was my mom.

[0:05] What do you - what else do you want?

[0:10] The Year My Voice Broke

[0:12] It was gonna be a tele movie, almost called The Year My Voice Broke.

[0:14] It was actually called

[0:15] Reflections at that time, that was its working title.

[0:17] And Trevor Leishman was...

[0:20] ...kind of like the town’s bad-boy.

[0:24] Trevor would steal cars and

[0:26] drive around and

[0:27] around the the racetrack...

[0:30] ...until the car ran out of petrol and then...you know,

[0:33] the cops would be sort of standing there.

[0:34] This was in a country town.

[0:36] And they would be standing there waiting for him to run

[0:38] out of petrol and try to arrest him.

[0:39] Trevor had a laugh that was very distinctive.

[0:43] Trevor: Sounded hollow, I reckon.

[0:46] Huhhuhhehehe.

[0:47] Hehehehehe!

[0:51] Ben: Which was John Duigon picking up on my sort of, at that time,

[0:52] “hehehehe”

[0:54] kind of like silly kind of laugh.

[0:57] Like that's the film that you know

[0:59] made it so that I made films basically.

[1:05] Spotswood known in America as

[1:07] The Efficiency Expert.

[1:09] You know he's a working-class gormless boy

[1:11] working in this factory.

[1:12] He wants to kiss the pretty girl

[1:15] but he doesn't quite know how to do it.

[1:16] It has the distinction of being Toni Colette's first film,

[1:23] It's one of the early films with Russell Crowe in it,

[1:27] And of course it has Anthony Hopkins in the film

[1:30] that he had made immediately after he made

[1:33] Silence of the Lambs.

[1:35] Silence of the Lambs wasn't released by this point

[1:38] but he had just made it.

[1:39] I probably learnt things on that job

[1:43] from... from Hopkins really that have

[1:47] stayed with me the most.

[1:49] There was something about his ethos and something

[1:51] about the way he worked.

[1:53] He's a very, you know, gentle soft kind of guy

[1:56] but you can see in his performances

[1:59] this other world going on.

[2:01] So I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to him for

[2:05] just transmitting that, you know, just

[2:06] passing that stuff along

[2:08] more than anything else was what that film means to me.

[2:13] Mullet

[2:14] I like Mullet.

[2:16] I like Eddie ‘Mullet’ a lot.

[2:18] Eddie ‘Mullet’ is a guy that-that comes

[2:22] from a small town.

[2:24] He wants to leave all these idiots behind him,

[2:27] goes off to the city, burns out in one way or another,

[2:30] and returns home to this sleepy fishing town.

[2:46] Eddie’s Dad: Where’s ya mother?

[2:47] Eddie: Oh, she's still not talking to you?

[2:48] Eddie’s Dad: Just call her.

[2:50] Eddie: Mom!

[2:51] Ben: And that's kind of what Mullet is.

[2:52] Now this is made by David Caesar and

[2:54] Davy is

[2:57] someone incredibly important to me

[3:01] because we go back to the beginnings

[3:03] of both of our careers.

[3:05] I did his student film for him when he was still in school

[3:08] and I think there's this incredible

[3:10] lyricism in what he does.

[3:12] They are really deeply, personally important films.

[3:17] Australia

[3:19] Captain Dutton is meant to be

[3:20] the sensitive of -

[3:22] the sensible alternative to Hugh Jackman's, you know,

[3:26] vastly more appealing proposition for

[3:29] Nicole Kidman's affections in Baz Luhrmann's Australia

[3:33] He's a slightly sort of uptight proper -

[3:35] a lot of people think he's an English character

[3:37] even Australians think he's an English guy.

[3:40] But he's not, he's an old - it's an old-fashioned

[3:42] what I was trying to do

[3:43] was do an old Australian

[3:45] upper-class speak

[3:47] which sounds very similar to British

[3:50] in a lot of ways.

[3:51] But anyway they didn't get picked up on.

[3:52] That's either my fault or whatever.

[3:55] I felt awesome about doing a film for Baz.

[4:02] Strictly Ballroom remains one of the like...

[4:04] ... It's absolutely - it remains in

[4:06] my top five most enjoyable experiences

[4:09] I've ever had going to a cinema.

[4:11] And of course you know he's got that - he's got

[4:13] the secret weapon.

[4:16] Martin Scorsese, he’s got

[4:15] Thelma School[maker], you know Thelma.

[4:18] But you know Baz has got C.M.

[4:20] Baz has got Catherine Martin

[4:22] and that is like -

[4:24] [Ben Mendelsohn does a lip pop]

[2:25] That's a combo.

[4:29] Animal Kingdom

[4:31] Pope is the elder statesman of a really... very tough... violent...

[4:40] Melbourne crime family.

[4:43] There's a culture there that is a lot more about,

[4:46] you know, guy to - a guy growing up.

[4:48] It's a lot more about being tough and not showing stuff

[4:51] and having the sense of a threat

[4:54] that you might hurt someone if they do or

[4:56] if they transgress in some way.

[4:59] Pope: This is what I’m talking about, mate.

[5:01] I just want you to tell me things, you know. it just kills me to -

[5:03] It just kills me to see you living a lie.

[5:04] J: Look, mate, fuck off. Seriously.

[5:06] Ben: Davy Michôd.

[5:08] I knew for a long time and

[5:12] Davy Michôd was a guy who wrote for a film magazine

[5:16] and Davy wanted to make a film and it was like,

[5:18] “yeah, yeah, whatever”, you know?

[5:20] It’s sort of, you know, “yeah, yeah, go on.”

[5:22] And Davy, you know, said “I want you to play this character”

[5:26] and I was like “whateverrrrr!”

[5:31] The good thing about, you know, being around and being basically a pessimist,

[5:34] you just get proved wrong a lot.

[5:37] And I love being wrong about stuff.

[5:40] [The] Animal Kingdom is without question the most

[5:43] career-wise important film that I ever made.

[5:46] I mean without Animal Kingdom you -

[5:49] I mean, you know, you don't give a fuck about me

[5:51] without that film because none of the

[5:53] rest of this stuff happened.

[5:56] The Dark Knight Rises

[6:00] This is the period

[6:01] When I was like,

[6:02] “Something's going right.

[6:03] Something's really, really going right.”

[6:06] Lucius Fox: This meeting will now come to order.

[6:08] John Dagger: You know, I’d like to point out that

[6:10] we have an non-board member here

[6:12] which is highly irregular,

[6:13] even if his family name is above the door...

[6:15] Fredericks: Bruce Wayne's family built this company -

[6:19] Board Member 2: And he himself has run it -

[6:20] Daggett: Into the ground!

[6:21] Ben: That was the first time I'd ever

[6:22] been on a film set of the biggest movie

[6:25] being made on the planet Earth at that time

[6:28] and I was like -

[6:29] [Ben shrugs with a giddy grin]

[6:30] No, it's just like...

[6:32] it's pretty awesome.

[6:34] I don't remember much about Daggett.

[6:36] I don’t particularly care about Daggett in one way or another,

[6:38] you know what I mean.

[6:39] I went in,

[6:40] I flipped a couple of burgers,

[6:41] I tried not to disgrace myself.

[6:43] That was basically -

[6:44] you know.

[6:45] There's very limited,

[6:46] you know, stuff.

[6:47] There's some boardroom stuff going on in there.

[6:49] And then there's all that stuff of

[6:50] “I've hired you to,

[6:51] you know, to be my, you know, my guy

[6:54] and please don't, you know -

[6:55] Oh, are you gonna hurt me?

[6:56] Oh, this is kind of confronting.”

[6:59] But I just remember just being on set with like,

[7:02] you know, there’s Christian Bale,

[7:03] there’s Gary Oldman,

[7:05] there’s Morgan Freeman

[7:06] like

[7:07] [Ben does a lip pop again.]

[7:08] And what I really, really, really, really remember

[7:11] having reinforced is

[7:13] this game’s exactly the same.

[7:15] Doesn't matter if you're making the crappiest,

[7:16] most down and dirty, shitty

[7:20] kind of indie that no one's ever can

[7:22] in the world see

[7:24] or you're making the biggest movie on earth.

[7:29] Bloodline

[7:31] I was skeptical, and I was touched,

[7:34] and I was, you know, a little bit chuffed that

[7:36] these guys came to me and said,

[7:38] “Listen, we want to make a film - a series, pardon me,

[7:40] about, you know, the black sheep of the family

[7:43] and we want to kind of investigate that dynamic and what it is

[7:46] in a family and, you know,

[7:49] and they're gonna kill him. you know I never get

[7:50] You know, I’ll never gonna get another Danny Rayburn, you know what I mean.

[7:53] Like you do one of those guys, like there's a

[7:55] like there's a few of these guys

[7:57] that you're never going to get them again.

[7:59] I'm never gonna get another Pope,

[8:00] I'm never going to get another Trevor. Leishman.

[8:03] There are certain things, which for whatever reason,

[8:05] everything kind of forms up

[8:07] and the thing in and of itself is people,

[8:09] you know, it -

[8:10] people take it into their hearts

[8:12] and it becomes part of their life.

[8:1] They talk about it, they enjoy it.

[8:18] Danny: You sent a load up the same highway that I did

[8:20] unless you took a detour.

[8:21] Did you take a detour?

[8:26] Ben: Yeah I love Danny.

[8:29] I - I love love love Danny.

[8:34] Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

[8:36] Middle manager as principal villain.

[8:39] It's an interesting idea.

[8:40] I have peddled the line

[8:42] and I will continue to peddle the line

[8:44] that he is the man that built the Death Star

[8:46] even though there's a very strong argument

[8:48] that Mads Mikkelsen’s character may have

[8:51] but you know...

[8:52] Fuck it, right?

[8:53] I mean you build the Dea-

[8:55] you get a chance to claim you built the Death Star.

[8:56] I'm taking it,

[8:57] I'm running with it.

[8:58] Star Wars.

[8:59] I mean, you know.

[9:01] I went there, I watched that film as a kid in-in-in Melbourne in,

[9:04] you know, in the city.

[9:07] Star Wars was just

[9:08] like huge for me.

[9:10] Gareth, he approached me in this

[9:12] sort of super secret - shh - meeting

[9:15] and I went to the top of some Beverly Hills Hotel

[9:18] and sat on the thing. La la la.

[9:22] And he said, you know, I want you to play the

[9:24] villain in this upcoming Star Wars movie

[9:27] and I was like, “okay, great.”

[9:30] [Ben sucks in lips]

[9:32] And I had to keep a lid on it for like foreeverrr.

[9:36] I mean when Darth Vader turns up on a set.

[9:43] Yeah.

[9:44] Darth Vader: Director Krennic.

[9:48] Director Krennic: Lord Vader.

[9:52] Ben: Ready Player One

[9:54] That's the best screening of a film

[9:56] that I've ever been to in my life.

[9:58] South by Southwest screening of Ready Player One in Austin,

[10:04] the first time anyone ever got to see that film in the public.

[10:07] That is the wildest experience

[10:09] and the best experience I ever had

[10:12] watching a film.

[10:13] Mr. Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, his wife, had had seen Bloodline

[10:18] and were fans

[10:19] and so essentially it's Bloodline that gets me Ready Player One.

[10:24] When I got to meet with them -

[10:26] [Ben laughs.]

[10:27] Spielberg, you know.

[10:29] Look, I'm a fan of, you know,

[10:31] I grew up. I love all this stuff, you know,

[10:33] I still feel like a kind of a fanboy nerd

[10:37] and I do pinch myself and

[10:39] kind of get a bit blushy in a bit like -

[10:41] essentially you're dealing with

[10:43] a film which you know, is very, very

[10:46] largely in virtual reality.

[10:49] That took an enormous amount of time and discipline.

[10:51] So technically for him it's a really a

[10:54] post-production piece

[10:56] but what it meant for us in terms of the capture stuff

[10:59] is really, kind of, as usual

[11:03] but in this sort of white blank space where you've

[11:05] sort of got a play ‘tendie ‘tendie, you know,

[11:08] I meant pretending

[11:11] about what's where and whatnot.

[11:12] That's the fastest most quick [/kept]

[11:14] crew I've ever seen in my life.

[11:17] Spielberg's crew is beyond

[11:20] and there's no one that thinks in terms of

[11:24] camera moving through stuff in real time

[11:28] that I've ever seen.

[11:30] There's no one, there's no one like him.

[11:35] The Sheriff is really, you know, political

[11:39] modern political speaker kind of,

[11:43] as you know, -esque villain

[11:45] Friar Tuck: Sir, surely the church -

[11:46] It's a law and orders issue.

[11:47] I'm the law and order here.

[11:49] I can't afford to lose another penny.

[11:53] Friar Tuck: Sir it's been a bit since your last confession.

[11:57] The Sheriff: My conscience is clear.

[11:59] Ben: He's a modern kind of political populisty type of,

[12:04] you know, operative sleazebag dude, you know?

[12:06] Power power, money money, give it give it.

[12:08] It's really the way that Otto talked

[12:11] about what he wanted to do within

[12:14] the world of hood that was kind of like

[12:17] the world of Nottingham in

[12:19] this piece which is an origin story.

[12:22] We're going to teach you things about

[12:23] Robin Hood you never even knew, all right?

[12:27] Cheap! Cheap for the price of admission.

ooooo.... as much as i love humanz, i'd always rly struggled to get into the new tracks from the "super deluxe" version cos like.. they don't rly cohere on their own, but also i'm not v often in the mood to listen to all 40 tracks of the super deluxe version?? 😵‍💫

but i just found a compilation someone must have made called "hologramz" where they put the 14 new tracks from the super deluxe together with "sleeping powder" and also "in my dreams" by kali uchis (which was produced by gorillaz) and tied them together with some unused ben mendelsohn spoken interludes (i think they must have got them from the "reject false icons" doc??) and it works So well!!!! 🥳

like finally, a satisfying way to listen to these tracks together 🥹

The 7 best new and returning TV Shows in 2023

We already have a list of 7 new and returning TV shows that should be put right on your must-watch list, so we can assure you that 2023 will be a fantastic year for TV shows. With new programs like the BBC's touching drama Best Interests and HBO's epic and horrifying The Last of Us in January, there is something for everyone. Along with returning favorites like You and Sex Education from Netflix, Clarkson's Farm is back on Prime Video. 1. Sex Education season 4 For more crazy antics and coming-of-age drama in 2023, Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee-Lou Wood, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, and Mimi Keene will all be back.

Velma Release on January 12, HBO US broadcaster Max; UK broadcaster TBD Featuring: Constance Wu, Sam Richardson, and Mindy Kaling The most intelligent member of Scooby-team, Doo's Velma Dinkley (Mindy Kaling), has her origin tale in this animated series for adults. There is no news yet on whether Velma, a longtime LGBTQ+ icon and recently confirmed queer character, will be portrayed as such in Kaling's project, despite the fact that we know the show will contain a "love triangle".

The lead role of Charlie Cale, a sleuth with an uncanny ability to detect deception, belongs to Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll).

Aussie actor stars as gay fashion designer Christian Dior

Apple TV+ has dropped the trailer for biographical drama The New Look, starring Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn as gay fashion designer Christian Dior.

Juliette Binoche also plays Coco Chanel in the series that chronicles the duelling fashion designers and their contemporaries as they launch modern fashion against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation of Paris during World War II.

Inspired by true events, The New Look follows “the pivotal 20th century moment when the French city led the world back to life through its fashion icon Christian Dior.”

“As Dior rises to prominence with his groundbreaking, iconic imprint of beauty and influence, Chanel’s reign as the world’s most famous fashion designer is put into jeopardy,” the synopsis states.

“The interwoven saga follows the surprising stories of Dior’s contemporaries and rivals from Chanel to Pierre Balmain, Cristóbal Balenciaga and more.”

The New Look “provides a stunning view into the atelier, designs and clothing created by Christian Dior through collaboration with the House of Dior,” Apple TV+ says.
