Angel, you have to read
Beyond All Reason It's all about Tavington and his lady love. Kate and Kim recommended it to me. A lot of Tavy sex but not graphic or vile.
I finally ordered the book (actually the trilogy). Can't wait to receive them!

As much as I love this movie, I can't watch it anymore. Mel's antics have totally ruined any of his movies for me. Which is a shame. I liked a lot of his movies. But now I see them and I can't hear what he's saying; can only hear his rants about whatever he's chosen to rant about lately, and then can't even look at him.
A shame. I tried to watch it the other day. Not hard to watch Mr. I's parts, at least. But the whole movie, it's ruined for me. :(
I'd bought his apology a few years back over all the anti-Semitic ranting. Watched him with Diane Sawyer and felt ... mollified. But now feel like I was duped for having fallen for it.
I guess he got away with it when he'd made those comments 20 years ago about gay folks because, well, back then there was no Internet to ensure we all could hear the tapes. But now ...

I've never been a fan of Mel...but I still find this movie fantastic. Anyway, you can always fast forward to the scenes you like (
JI scenes, that is)
And thank you, Kim. I was trying to find the link to it.

In honor of the pro-Villain movie Despicable me, we've listed some of the villains that we think aren't just threatening or scary or effective, but actually better characters than their story's heroes. They've got enough depth, or at least enough potential, to carry a film on their own, without any boring goodie-two-shoes bringing them down.
The Patriot – Col. Tavington
Jason Isaacs is one of those actors who always gets cast as a villain, and it's easy to see why, since he's turned arrogant smirking into an art form. But even for villain in a Mel Gibson film, Col. Tavington is completely over-the-top, mustache-twirling evil. It seems particularly out of place in The Patriot, because it's historical fiction and it's not like the Revolutionary War is one of those obscure wars everyone forgets about (sorry, Spanish-American). It ends up working against the film's intentions; Tavington spends so much time and effort being dastardly that you almost start admiring him for his hard work. (Avatar has a similar issue with Col. Quaritch) plus, Mel Gibson's ongoing antics make it difficult to cheer him on in any film, so watching Jason Isaacs antagonize him for two hours can be pretty cathartic.

Oh, Char...I like that quote. It really does Jason proud.

But, even for a villain in a Mel Gibson film.....
I keep saying, 'there's more to THE PATRIOT than that tosser Mel Gibson'.
TAVINGTON RULES 'THE PATRIOT'

I agree-Mel's recent "antics" have rather coloured any current viewing experiences . . .
*enough with the torturing already!*

I have this notion to cover up Mel's picture on the cover sheet with Jason's.
I'd recall it, TAVINGTON and THE PATRIOT.
