Cinematical Seven: Movie Characters I'd Hate to Have Thanksgiving With

Filed under: Classics », Cinematical Seven », Lists »



Earlier this month a bunch of us came up with a list of the movie characters we'd love to have thanksgiving with. Now, here's the opposite. The title is pretty self-explanatory, so I don't need to set it up much. But as usual, we invite you to tell us of your own picks for worst Thanksgiving dinner guest. Please try to make it a movie character, though, because none of us know your annoying aunt, and plus this is a movie site.


Hannibal Lecter from Manhunter, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon and Hannibal Rising

If you were to have Dr. Lecter (Brian Cox; Anthony Hopkins; Gaspard Ulliel) to your Thanksgiving feast, you'd want to prepare and cook all the food yourself. Otherwise, you might end up eating human flesh instead of turkey (or turducken, or whatever non-people-based meal you prefer). Then again, you might actually end up the meal, which is certainly much worse than unknowingly tasting Ray Liotta's brains. So, the best thing is to not even invite the guy.


Graham Young from Young Poisoner's Handbook

Another character who might be an interesting guest, but like with Lecter, you'll need to keep an eye on the food, or at least on the tea. Graham (Hugh O'Conor), aka "the teacup murderer" likes to play with poison, and there's a good chance he's going to spike the dinner or drinks with thallium.

Mike Myers and wife splitting up

Filed under: RumorMonger », Celebrities and Controversy »

A spokesman for the Austin Powers/SNL comedian has confirmed that Myers and his wife Robin Ruzan are splitting up after 12 years of marriage. That seems like a much longer-than-average run for a Hollywood union.

Has anyone ever done a study of how Hollywood marriages hold up compared to the marriages of non-celebs? I think that divorce rates are around 50% for non-celebs. Is it higher for the rich and famous?
