Vader came in behind Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates as only the third best villain in film history. This is an outrage. I have had the conversation with numerous people (women, mostly) about how Hannibal Lecter is NOT scary! He's not even in the same league as Vader! Absurd.  
 
As for the heroes, Indiana Jones came in at #2... the top honors go to Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't really know how I feel about that.

Hannibal Lecter's old ass is far from scary to me. If I were taking a shower and skinny ass Norman Bates interupted I would put a foot in his ass. Now if I were in the shower and the curtain were thrown open by a six foot nine inch black clad Vader I might shit the tub.  
 
Give me a break, Vader is far more intimidating than either of these twerps. His voice alone is enough to strike fear in the hearts of his adversaries. How an old man and a and a skinny fag rate higher than Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith is beyond me.  
 
If you could bring these characters into the real world Noman Bates knife would look punny when compared with Vader's saber. Lecter's ability to predict the actions of a murderer would look insignificant compared to the power of the Force. Vader would use the Force to choke out both of these whimpy characters. In conclusion Vader is a bad ass and these guys are bottom feeders.

I went to that site and voted for Vader as everyone should.

I voted for him as well, but Vader is losing to Lecter there as well. I guess that proves it: Darth Vader is a pussy compared to Lecter. Numbers don't lie, my friend. Pack up your Star Wars movies and trade them in for some fava beans. Lecter and his too-tight t-shirt wearing, scapel-wielding ass are apparently more than a match for an old busted up dude with a respirator. The fans have spoken.

The fans can lick my balls. They obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Lecter's fava bean eating ass is no match for an old busted up force-wielding respirator wearing black clad Vader. That's my huge opinion on this subject.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book and a good movie. Atticus is a good guy but he is nowhere near as exciting as Indy. For my money Indiana Jones is the best hero of all time.

Dude, Vader would crap fava beans into his adult diapers at the mere mention of Hannibal Lecter. I have converted. I too find balding, slicked-back hair scary. Vader doesn't even have any hair! How scary is that? Hannibal would eat Vader's hairless, sliced-up scalp like a soft tortilla. Clearly, you do not know who you're messing with when you diss Hannibal the Cannibal. The tight t-shirt revealing a sucked-in gut is very unsettling and subtlely indicates true powers of ass-whupping. Show some respect before you get eaten, my friend.

Movie heroes, yes, I think I would agree that Indy is the best. If they ever made a movie of the Long Run, though, Trent would be far and away the winner.

That would be sweet if they made the Long Run into a movie. Mohammed Vance would certainly give Vader a run for his money in the villain department! Trent is a great hero but he would just edge Indy in my book.

For those who don't know the Long Run, you can read Amazon.com's info here. It's my favorite novel of all time, I highly recommend it. It used to be out of print but this trade paperback edition is now for sale if you're interested in picking up a copy (or I can loan you one of my many copies).

This is also one of my favorite novels of all time. I highly recommend it, it's sci-fi but I think even the Bone would enjoy it.

Vader is a superior villain no doubt about it. I just did a poll in my office without mentioning who was in the running. One guy said Hannibal Lecter, another said Terminator, and of course I said Vader.  
 
Lecter is ok. In Silence of the Lambs he is very well mannered and in control of himself on the surface, but you know that underneath he is a master of Old School Medeival Butchery. The fact that there are serial killers like him around is probably what makes his character seem particularly villainous to the majority (probably the same turds that didn't enjoy Matrix Reloaded).  
 
Terminator was Arnolds best role by far in my opinion. The character is a relentless machine bent on achieving his mission. I'd be shitting myself if he were after me.  
 
Vader is the best villain by far because he is intelligent, merciless, and powerful. He looks scary and sounds scary. In Jedi he is a pansy but in Empire he is a bad mo fo.  
 
Norman Bates would get his ass handed to him if he showed up at my house. I'd pull his wig over his eyes and punch his lights out. Then I'd hang him upside down from the rafters and light garbage pale full of kerosene on fire and place it under him.
