What, or who was the worst idea for a character in a movie. Not necessarily the worst actor, or acted, but a character who detracted from the movie. The first one who comes to mind is Jar Jar Binks, as crappy as the latest 3 Star Wars movies were, what the hell!?!?!

Arnie... Mr. Freeze

worst line ever: "I am the harbinger of your doom"... More like the harbinger of a bad taste in my mouth.

I think Kevin Costner stinks as an actor...especially when he trys to play a hard guy.
-
Did someone say Ted Danson?
Yeah...any role he ever played in a movie
-
Depends on the role. He was REALLY good in Silverado and Wyatt Earp.
My vote is for Beowulf. Because they COMPLETELY RUINED THE CHARACTER.
Stupid 21st Century freaking over moral ambiguity.... :furious
-
Slipknot, agreed. You have the right idea. Remember, not the worst actor, rather a character in a movie they could have cut out of the script and made the movie better. On a side note, agreed on Kevin Costner, he has had some good roles, but overall I find him underwelming as an actor.

Yeah, Jar jar is cringe worthy. Ewoks as bad in a "character type" sense. WTG lucas merchandise marketing!
Hard to think of just a single bad character in what was otherwise at least an OK movie. Larry King in the Shrek series as the ugly chick. He did an alright job for what it was, I just have a knee jerk reaction to larry king that taints the role.

Again, more powerful than Viagra, but Starship pilot? (then again, add a mullet and it might be SHawk)

Richards is forgiveable simply on the grounds that she always ends up dressed in something very skimpy, at which point you completely forget about acting ability and just sit back to drool.

If ONLY lucas had replaced Jar Jar with Tron Man.

He did fine in '3000 Miles to Graceland'.

The guy who played the lead role in Jarhead- Jake Gyllenhall(sp?) perhaps?
-
Anything with Steven Segal, he sucks.
Right down there with him we have Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damn.

maybe but then why would anybody have ever watched starship more than once without her??

Daniel-san is the nauseating Karate Kid.

Ned Beatty as Bobby in Deliverance.
Hey Ned, It's your agent. I just got this script and I think I finally found the PERFECT role for you...

Naw, his character was good in The Iron Giant.

Interesting thing about Starship Troopers was how they nervously danced around the most compelling theme in Heinlein's book.
-

Nah, he did fine in "Saving Private Ryan". Guessing the German sniper saw The F&F. :D

Which theme did you find most compelling? The metaphore for the cold war or the sufferage dillema or ...?

Duh.... The giant space bugs eating us all...Hello!! Geez, which movie were you watching? :O
-
I was gonna go with the shower scene... my bad.
-
Oh yea, that one was good too. Your right I'm wrong...
-

Sufferage. I found the notion that only those who have invested something of themselves, and in turn have something to lose, should be allowed to vote, very compelling. (sorry, that's a clumsy sentence) Seemed to be an interesting solution to an age old dilemma. I'm sure you've seen this...
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years." Author Unknown
I don't recall the specific passages from the book, but I do know that had they been used in the movie verbatim, they would have caused a sh*t storm of public controversy.
What are your thoughts?

That is pretty deep, let's get back to that shower scene! Cthulhu, I do love the quote on your sig, but what is picking up a turd by the ckean end? Just a heads up.

Doh! That got hosed when the server crashed. Thx.

While Starship Troopers sucked, Dina Meyer made that movie worth watching.

No argument there. Denise Richards is gorgeous but IMO blah. Sort of like Grace Kelly was, stunning but blah. Dina however just oozes. ;)

I just caught starship troopers on cable last weekend for the first time since the theater. I must agree that the shower scene, and the "make that 20 minutes" scene were powerful and compelling. :aok :aok
One other observation. The were pitifully underarmed in the movie. I don't quite remember that from the book. Anytime you have to pump 50-100 rounds into a single enemy that also has massive numbers you simply must revert to the"nuke them from orbit" option. Or use heavy armor of much heavier air support.
Denise Richards was actually better than I remember, or at least not totally sucky. Though her talents would have been much better used in the shower scene, or her own special 20 minutes scene. Pity. Dina Meyer was able to steal the show there with her perky performances.
