Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) in David Fincher's "The Social Network" (2010)
Lest for a moment you think all antiheroes have to lose, let's talk about one who wins, and wins big. Mark Zuckerberg, as portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg in "The Social Network," is a textbook example of the guy you dislike, who you kind of hope to see brought low by his hubris and self-importance, but then that poetic thing happens where his self-importance is proven to have had actual foundation, and so actual importance (and wealth and fame and all the trappings) follow. The sharp, satirical bent of Aaron Sorkin's script and the leanness of David Fincher's direction took what could simply have been a biopic, or a topical news story-turned-movie, and turned it instead into something vital and unnerving -- a comment on our modern times, and a pretty scathing one at that. But it's Eisenberg's Zuckerberg who is the great creation here, by turns manipulative and Machiavellian, and then socially inept and pathetic -- he's the ultimate loser-who-wins. And at the heart of his psychology is the fascinating push-pull shared by many of the antiheroes on our list: a broad streak of self-loathing that manifests itself as self-love. So perhaps that's the reason the character still passes the Pupkin test: we might covet his power and influence and ludicrous wealth, but would any of us really want to wake up in the morning and be that character (not the real-life guy; that's another question), with all the mortifications and pettinesses and jealousies we read into him?
Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) in Anthony Minghella's "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999)
A recurring feature of many of the entries on this list is that our antiheroes are themselves in the throes of some kind of hero worship. Something about seeing how they fall drastically short (often in their own eyes) of the standards of the person they aspire to be highlights their antiheroic qualities: where their idol is successful, they are failures; where he is popular, they are outcasts; where he is glamorous, they are mundane. And having their dazzled adoration of their hero turn bitterly in on itself is where many of these films derive their dark power. Rupert Pupkin and Jerry Langford fit this model, as do Robert Ford and Jesse James, as do Sidney Falco and J.J. Hunsecker (more on those latter two below). But one version who sprang from the written page was Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith's amoral, creepy chameleon, who's been brought to the screen by John Malkovich, Barry Pepper, Alain Delon, Ian Hart, Dennis Hopper and Jonathan Kent, but is best known to general audiences as played by Matt Damon in Anthony Minghella's "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Damon's Tom is a classic antihero, an amoral, blank slate whose only real characteristics are a sense of his own inadequacy and a desperate desire, not just to be with someone unattainable, but to actually be them -- in this case golden boy Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law). Tom's covetousness of Dickie eventually turns murderous but it's the knowledge that Greenleaf is just one in a series that really chills: Ripley's is a hunger that can never truly be sated, and at his core is an emptiness that can't be filled.
Pinkie Brown (Richard Attenborough) in John Boulting's "Brighton Rock" (1947)
Forget the rather plodding recent remake with Sam Riley in the role, the Pinkie Brown who left the most indelible mark on us was Richard Attenborough in the 1947 British film directed by John Boulting. Based on Graham Greene's novel of the same name, the film features the astonishingly blackhearted Pinkie as the sudden de facto leader of a small gang of thugs who terrorise the eponymous seaside town. Murdering to cover up murders, and blackmailing and vicitmizing everyone he comes across, it's in his treatment of Rose, the misguided dope of a girl who falls for him, that Pinkie's character is most tellingly drawn. He fools her into marrying him so she can't testify against him, and is only prevented from offing her too by the eleventh-hour intervention of the police. So far, so cut-and-dried villain, but while Attenborough's Pinkie is undoubtedly that, what brings him back from caricature are the hints we get of his psychology -- a self-hating but devout Roman Catholic, Pinkie is not amoral, but actively immoral, and believes he's hell-bound. And as wicked as he thoroughly, undoubtedly is, the story puts us into a strange line of empathy with him, as contrasted with the petty somnambulism of the seaside town and the pleasure-seekers it attracts. Not to mention the abrasive and crude Ida (Hermione Baddely) whose moral "decency" (she tries to get him brought to justice) manages to come off as vulgar and small-minded. No, Pinkie is despicable, all right, but his character has complexities and contradictions that make him worthy of such fertile characterization, and of our fascination.
Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) in Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" (2012)
There are some directors who make the antihero their stock in trade, and we'd put Paul Thomas Anderson at the top of that list. We could have chosen any number of his characters: Paul Dano and Daniel Day-Lewis's characters both qualify from "There Will Be Blood" (Eli Sunday is the more obviously snivelling, but Daniel Plainview is a towering, raging antihero, too); Adam Sandler in "Punch Drunk Love"; most characters in "Magnolia" and "Boogie Nights"; indeed, we can go all the way back to John C. Reilly in "Hard Eight." So with this wealth of choice, we went for the most recent, and in a way most archetypal: Joaquin Phoenix's fearless turn as Freddie Quell in "The Master." Spiritually, mentally and emotionally broken (by which we mean shattered to smithereens) Quell's volatility puts him almost beyond the reach of relatability, until he does yet another unexpected thing and takes the "help" offered to him by self-styled guru Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). As their fractured relationship spirals away from simple mentor/protege into something odder and less definable, with each somehow coming to define the other in questionable, unhealthy ways, Quell's deep well of longing and hurt is gradually revealed, providing no excuses, but partial reasoning for his actions. It's a relationship that must end, and can never really end in Quell's favor as the balance of power is so thoroughly against him. And yet by the end, though there's an even greater gulf between their circumstances than before, we feel that perhaps the only real difference between them is that Dodd believes he's sane while Quell knows that he is not. Quell loses on every conceivable level, and we can't stop watching.
NWOS | June 30, 2013 4:38 PM
You are wrong to say that antiheroes are not cool.
For one, many antiheroes, including Benjamin Braddock (who is undeservedly snubbed) or Jim Stark are only judged to be cool as the values or mores of society shift.
For a great example of this read Ebert's two reviews of The Graduate, one he made as a young man and another 30 years after that. His opinions of Braddock's actions change as his values begin to align not with counterculture but with mainstream culture.
Basically, an antihero often embodies a sub- or counter-culture because their values are seen as threatening or preverse, but when that culture becomes mainstream, the antihero is seen as cool after the fact. By ignoring this, you've left out countless antiheroes, whose image has changed to be viewed in a more favorable light.
kindred spirit | May 4, 2013 4:04 PM
Good call on Mavis in Young Adult. But you seem to have forgotten Nicole Kidman in To Die For. Talk about a classic antihero!
PatrickNell | April 30, 2013 9:11 PM
Wait, I'm confused. "The Pupkin Rule"? So every character I wouldn't want to be is an anti-hero? That makes no sense. I think you're confusing your terms. As I read the comment section I realize more intelligent commenters are making more reasonable cases but something is definitely off in this post. In classical and earlier mythology, the hero tended to be a dashing, confident, stoic, intelligent, highly capable fighter and commander with few, if any, flaws. The classical antihero is the inversion of this. Where the hero is confident, the antihero is plagued by self-doubt. Where the hero is a respected fighter, the antihero is mediocre at best. Where the hero is brave and courageous, the antihero is frightened and cowardly. Where the hero gets all the ladies, the antihero can't even get the time of day. In short, while the traditional hero is a paragon of awesomeness, the classical antihero suffers from flaws and hindrances. Jessica Kiang's definition is "any unlikable character in cinema"... <That is such an juvenile way to put it. I mean, the biggest fault in this blog-post is the list itself. Young Adult? Jessica, you think Theron in Young Adult is among the 10 Essential "Antiheros" in Cinema History? Fire this girl right now from The Playlist...hahaha... usually The Playlist's blog-posts have some intellect in them... this post assumes the reader is a dumb film fan. I am insulted to read this as a film lover. Thank you, bye.
Fordwsh | April 30, 2013 8:50 PM
Reading this article and the comment section made me sick to my stomach. Are you all ill-begotten feeble-minded ninny's masquerading as film-buffs? Or do you all actually agree with this idiotic definition of "Antihero" being an unlikable character. This is an insult to all film-buffs worldwide, not to mention the intellectual film-goer. This article and these people who agree with it are the reasons why American cinema is at one of it's lowest points and only declining. Please, educate yourself before making a fool of yourself on the world wide web... This article is a miscarriage. I lost many respects for The Playlist for allowing this to be published. Lost a couple credibility points in my book but hey, at least you're succeeding in further stupidifying the average film-goer.
Xian | April 30, 2013 4:30 PM
Good list; great definition. I would add that the performance should be absolutely cringeworthy... like watching Ricky Gervais as David Brent in the original "The Office." So, for those of you that have or have not seen the minor film (though some call it a masterpiece of sorts), "Cutter's Way," I submit John Heard's performance as the eponymous Vietnam vet, Alex Cutter. (Can't paste a YouTube clip here, but search for "Cutters Way It Was In My Driveway" for a sampling of Heard's acting chops). Heard seemingly channels poet Charles Bukowski in bringing the acid-tongued, stream-of-consciousness ramblings of Cutter to life. It's probably Heard's best performance, and he plays off Jeff Bridges in a way that nearly (but certainly does not) make him likable. He's a bastard, an honest asshole, moving beyond mere curmudgeon into a mean ol' sonofabitch... but because of, and by the end in spite of, his nature, he digs deep into a murder mystery that takes him into the even weirder, meaner halls of the disgustingly rich.
JRDonug | April 28, 2013 4:41 PM
According to the author of this article and everyone who agrees with her definition of "anti-hero"... An "anti-villian" would be any character in cinema history you love/like or wish you could "be"... I hope this comment brings understanding to people who are being led to believe a false cinematic term by the novice writer of this article. I wish there was some way a more experienced/intelligent cinematic writer could re-vamp this travesty of writing/list-making haha. Thank you!
Hughey Bifouf | April 28, 2013 12:19 AM
The one inclusion I'd deem as the most warranted: Isabelle Huppert in The Piano Teacher.

What about Reese Witherspoon in Election?
John | April 26, 2013 11:58 AM
Completely agree that, by your own definition, Freddie Quell wouldn't qualify as an anti-hero. And admission aside, you couldn't come up with more than one female antihero?
SL | April 26, 2013 2:11 AM
Although I know it's impossible to think of every anti-hero, I feel like Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho" needs to be on this list.
DG | April 25, 2013 9:09 PM
Agree with Freddy Quell but disagree with the assertion that most of P.T.A's protags are anti-heros, especially Sandler's Barry Egan. I think one of the defining characteristics of the anti-hero is the inability to change, grow, or learn anything from their actions, and Egan has an arc in Punch Drunk Love that finds him (heroically) transforming from an alienated, anxiety-ridden caricature to someone capable of triumphantly defending his love and striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. Daniel Plainview and Paul Sunday also seem like anti-heros on paper but in the greater context of the movie, and as the symbols of early, burgeoning American industry, they take on mythical proportions that too me places them, if not in the realm of heroism then at least into the canon of outsiders. Great article though, and another good reminder that I really need to check out Young Adult.

Here's a tribute to the wonderful film that is: "The Friend's of Eddie Coyle".
(No links allowed it seems. Go to YT and search for "Friends of Eddie Coyle Tribute Project"
Yes, we are no Mitchum, Yates, Jordon or Keats but we loved the movie so much and wanted to do a project so...Also, what's wrong with exposing it to the modern audience? Hope many newer and older film buffs who missed it back in the day will get around to viewing this 1973 classic and read the George V. Higgins novel that 80% of the film's dialogue is sourced from. Responsible comments welcome. Thanks!
oogle monster | April 25, 2013 8:46 PM
Playlist, I know we get in arguments from time to time but I forgive you for everything seeing that you put Charlize Theron's career second-best performance on this list. THANK YOU! Young Adult is such a great film.
Noah | April 25, 2013 8:40 PM
Naked does not begin with a rape. Watch the scene again. Mike Leigh has dismissed this many times.
TheoC | April 25, 2013 6:50 PM
The writer puts in a disclaimer/explanation of the parameters for inclusion on the list, commentors bitch about the reasoning?? Read the thing.
Superb list well written. Affleck's Robert Ford creeps me the fuck out.
droop | April 25, 2013 6:39 PM
you clearly didn't understand the master, freddie quell is no antihero and certainly does not belong on this list, and your assessment of him and the movie are just so off the mark. he absolutely has virtues. he is kind, loyal, courageous and humble. the worst
Andrew | April 25, 2013 6:07 PM
The King of Comedy is my favorite Scorsese film.
And glad to see I'm not the only one who views Casey Affleck's performance as Robert Ford one of the absolute greats of recent memory. I mean, geez, it's one of my favorite performances of all-time.
yer | April 25, 2013 5:46 PM
The King of Comedy is such an underrated film. An excellent companion piece to Taxi Driver and features one of De Niro's finest performances.

I can't bring myself to watch Naked even though it's sitting in my Netflix queue.
Ummmm | April 25, 2013 4:37 PM
Your list is missing the essential anti-hero in cinema history: Jake Gittes in Chinatown. Also good mentions could have been Hackman in The Conversation, or Gould in The Long Goodbye. No offense to the author but... this list is rubbish.

Crispy Grilled Chicken
Makes 4 servings
4 chicken breasts, bone in, with skin
Garlic clove or salt-free seasoning mix (optional)
Heat the barbecue grill to medium heat.
Create a boat out of aluminum foil for each of the chicken breasts. Use nonstick aluminum foil for the boats for best results.
If desired, for extra flavor, rub the chicken with a peeled, cut garlic clove or sprinkle with salt-free seasoning mix.
Place chicken, skin side down, in boats.
Cook for 45 minutes, turning the chicken in the boats every 15 minutes.
You will get a lovely, golden brown color and intense flavor from the caramelization of the chicken skin. And does it get any easier?

The Maryland State Athletic Commission made MMA headlines recently when it was revealed that they had administered out-of-competition random drug tests to both light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones, as well as his upcoming title challenger at UFC 172, Glover Teixeira.
Following their groundbreaking decision on Wednesday, MSAC Executive Director Patrick Panella has released an official statement regarding the testing procedure for UFC 172.
The statement can be viewed below:
"The Maryland State Athletic Commission respects, and maintains, the confidentiality of the out-of-competition random drug testing currently being conducted of professional MMA fighters Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira as they prepare to compete in UFC 172 on April 26, 2014 in Baltimore, Maryland. Given that one or both of these individuals have commented publicly on such testing, the Maryland State Athletic Commission commends Mr. Jones and Mr. Teixeira, as well as Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), for their cooperation in supporting these additional drug testing measures. The Maryland State Athletic Commission believes that such measures are significant and reflect favorably upon the sport of MMA.
We are looking forward to regulating UFC 172 in Baltimore. To ensure the confidentiality of testing, there will be no further comment from the Maryland State Athletic Commission on this subject at this time."
Another interesting aspect of Wednesday's random drug testing is that the UFC is solely responsible for paying for the out-of-competition test. While Teixeira's test took place over two weeks ago, the organization will be paying for both tests.
UFC 172 is scheduled to take place April 26, at the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.

Unquestionably, there are rules for language. There are millions of them, Amigo. But one has to be careful to distinguish what are actually rules. The "rules" that have been taught over the years to primary school, junior high and senior high students and college students were mostly not rules, they were prescriptions, a different ball of wax.
Some of these prescriptions: use 'that' for restrictive clauses and 'which' for nonrestrictive; use 'who' for people, not 'that'; 'can' cannot be used to ask permission; don't start a sentence with a conjunction; don't end a sentence with a preposition; don't split infinitives; ...

Willis Earl Beal: Experiments in Time (CD Baby)
Wllis Earl Beal has released two such different albums -- Acoustmatic Society which were home recordings pulled together from the scores he had made, then the soulful and more straightahead Nobody knows -- that you could never anticpate where he might go next.

J. Mascis: Tied to a Star (SubPop)
The 2012 album I Bet on Sky by Dinosaur Jr – the band singer/guitarist J. Mascis helms with once-estranged Lou Barlow – divided loyalists, some heard it as a return to form and others (like me) thought it obvious. Mascis' albums under his own name have been more consistently interesting since Free So Free (with the Fog) over a decade ago, and especially 2011's Several... more >>

Spoon: They Want My Soul (Spunk)
For New Zealand listeners, there is a peculiar but interesting cover on this album by the never-predictable psych-cum-alt rockers Spoon from Texas. It is their rather straight version of Ann-Margret's bluesy I Just Don't Understand which the Beatles used to do live and which Tommy Adderley covered in the early Sixties in a very Merseybeat style. It's hardly out of place here on an album... more >>

ONE WE MISSED: Bobby Bare Jr: Undefeated (Bloodshot/Southbound)
Country music fans know Bare's dad as the voice out front of a string of mainstream but smart hit singles and albums in the 60s and 70s. But Jr – now close to 50 – has turned hard left into dark alt.country and some bruising boogie rock. However on this – which he has referred to as his break-up record – he's not beyond melancholy ballads (If She Cared comes on... more >>

Ron Gallipoli: Ron Gallipoli Loves You All (Freezing Works Music)
In the other real world Ron Gallipoli is Sam Bradford who was the singer in New Zealand's Sharpie Crows, but here he nails down some droll, pleasingly weird, socio-political lo-fi electronica-cum-light industrial post-punk. It might be all over quickly -- nine songs in 34 minutes -- but he crams a lot of information (satirical comment) and sounds (nods towards bedroom-solo Chris Knox, what... more >>

Wire: Document and Eyewitness (Pink Flag/Southbound)
Post-punk arty-smarties Wire have delivered some excellent albums in recent years, notably Red Barked Tree in 2011 and more recently last year's Change Becomes Us for which they went back to tapes from the period covered here as the starting point for new configurations and ideas. Most people perhaps remember them from this formative period at the end of the Seventies and those three... more >>

Benjamin Booker: Benjamin Booker (Rough Trade)
Although he had some considerable advance hype, this New Orleans-based punk-edged rocker lives up to the claims being made on this debut album, simply by delivering gutsy rock'n'roll with a tight band and songs with titles like Violent Shiver, Wicked Waters, Spoon Out My Eyeballs and I Thought I Heard You Screaming. But those titles don't really tell the story because far from being some... more >>

Kimbra: The Golden Echo (Warners)
When Kimbra appeared at this year's Womad in Taranaki I observed at the time it allowed her to roadtest new material away from the prying eyes of the international -- and even local -- music media. She wasn't quite the unusual choice that many thought for a world music festival (other mainstream pop acts have been on previous bills) and she delivered a vigorously enthusiastic set full of... more >>

Eric Clapton and Friends: The Breeze; An Appreciation of J.J. Cale (Universal)
Eric Clapton frequently speaks of himself as a messenger, originally passing on the blues then in the Seventies discovering the music of Bob Marley and J.J. Cale whose songs he covered to great success. Although not a close friend of the late Tulsa-based Cale until they collaborated on the Grammy-winning Road to Escondido in 2006, Clapton felt strongly enough about the man and his... more >>

Mike Cooper: Trout Steel (Paradise of Bachelors/Southbound)
A few weeks ago when Elsewhere reviewed the predominantly guitar instrumental/experimental album Cantos de Lisboa by Steve Gunn and Mike Cooper, we confessed to knowing little about Cooper who counted among his folk and blues peers and admirers the likes of Bert Jansch and Davy Graham. This album -- its title lifted from stoner-favourite Richard Brautigan's famous book Trout Fishing in... more >>

Fu Manchu: Gigantoid (At the Dojo/Southbound)
Because Brant Bjork played with them and they're part of the Kyuss/Clutch/Monster Magnet cabal, this Southern California hard rock-stoner band has often been mentioned in dispatches but rarely made an impact here. That's surprising, given they should appeal to graybeards who loved the feedback rock of Sixties legends Blue Cheer and Australia's Tumbleweed as much as recent QTSA and... more >>

Murray McNabb Group: Every Day is a Beautiful Day (Sarang Bang)
In the final days of his life -- which ended in early 2013 -- the New Zealand composer and keyboard player Murray McNabb was still working, despite being on morphine for pain relief from the cancer which would kill him. Towards the end it was my privilege to interview him about his long career, and I was struck by his philosophical approach to the inevitable as much as I had been by the... more >>

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Hypnotic Eye (Warners)
Most rock fans agree TP and his cracking Heartbreakers had a decade-long dream run after their self-titled debut in 76. Their taut Beatles/Byrds pop-rock welded to a nuggety rock'n'roll attitude and Petty's economic songs made their albums sound like collections of snappy singles. And when this Florida-native expanded into "Southern accents" (the title of their impressive... more >>

Hans Chew: Life and Love (Proper/Southbound)
This is interesting, odd and unexpected. On the inside cover Chew -- shaven head, bearded -- looks pretty hardcore . . . but he plays grand piano. And he doesn't play the classical repertoire but rocks out in a Southern boogie style with a tough little band (which includes Dave Cavallo on guitars, including slide). The result is an enjoyable meltdown of blues, country, soul and rock... more >>

Death Vessel: Island Intervals (Sub Pop)
It does seem odd that the label which brought us Nirvana should now be so attached to alt.folk (and sometime mope.folk) with Luluc and Death Vessel.

Fink: Hardbeliever (Ninja Tunes)
The first and only time Fink (known as Fin Greenall to his family) has appeared at Elsewhere was with his debut album Biscuits for Breakfast and although his career gone extremely well for this Britsh DJ, singer-songwriter and producer, he still sounds glum'n'moody. Which is no bad thing as he brings an intensity that is convincing, and he can back it all up with memorable melodies.... more >>

The Unsemble: The Unsemble (Ipecac/Southbound)
If supergroups still exist this might not be one, but perhaps in the world of alt.rock and out-there readers of The Wire they could qualify.

Peter Silberman, the mainman behind and up-front of New York's Antlers, has been making steady and stealthy moves towards greater acclaim with a series of lovely and sometimes pained albums which have increasingly become more musically complex.

Ridgewood News Op-Ed: A vision for downtown
Ridgewood's downtown is at a crossroads.
Having survived the past few challenging years, there is a new sense of life and vitality in our Central Business District. Grand openings, expanded stores and a range of programs – from the Guild's "Amazing Race" to the Chamber's Fashion Show – are generating excitement and a lot of buzz.
This is an important moment in the life of our community, and it is incumbent upon all of us to seize it and make the most of it.
To that end, we offer our vision of Ridgewood's downtown – a vision rooted in a profound appreciation of our village's past and a steadfast commitment to its future.
1. Ridgewood needs high-end apartments.
Empty nesters. Young couples. Residents who can no longer afford high taxes or who just do not want the burden of maintaining a large house. For them and others like them, our community needs housing that can provide the Ridgewood living experience at less cost and less hassle.
Currently, four major apartment/housing proposals are being considered by the planning and zoning boards. Each one needs to be studied and evaluated with respect to everything from aesthetics to traffic impact to school-related implications. But without prejudging the outcome of those deliberations, we will say this: We hope the common vision embodied in these proposals becomes a reality. There are creative elements to these proposed residences that could make them desirable places to live.
Similarly, we believe that Ridgewood should have more special needs housing. Many residents with developmental or physical disabilities want and deserve to live independently and want to do so here in Ridgewood. As elected officials in one of New Jersey's most inclusive communities, we are committed to making that possible.
2. Ridgewood needs a performing arts center.
When it comes to the performing arts, Ridgewood has it all: actors, musicians, dancers and singers. In fact, Ridgewood is teeming with artistic talent. We just need a proper venue to showcase it all and make it more readily available to the public.
We support the establishment of a performing arts center – one that would complement the existing studios and stages. We do not have a specific location in mind; nor do we know how best to finance such an ambitious idea. But we do know that a performing arts center would take Ridgewood's cultural life to the next level and would add to our overall quality of life.
3. Ridgewood needs parking decks/garages.
Parking problems are not new to the village. They have been around for decades. But with an increased focus on public transportation (leading to more commuters) and an increased desire to energize our downtown, now is the time to act.
Our vision does not entail one huge parking garage as was proposed some years ago, but smaller, low-level parking decks, preferably in opposite corners of the Central Business District and preferably in ways that enhance the streetscape.
Fortunately, promising proposals have recently emerged. One came from the Chamber of Commerce, which has offered a plan that includes two parking decks – in two parts of the downtown — that would be self-financing. Assuming the numbers add up, we like this and would support this.
4. Ridgewood needs to be more business-friendly.
A thriving downtown is central to Ridgewood's identity. It is why many people visit here. It is why many people live here.

[[folder:The Movie]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Aside from DannyElfman's title theme, the use of Harry Belafonte, including "Day-O", which is also a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: This happens to the house at one point thanks to the Deetzes.
* EarWorm: The title theme by DannyElfman; wicked-cool, but hard to forget.
* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: It's possible to interpret Betelgeuse/Beetlejuice as {{Satan}} himself. Besides having a name that looks similar to the Biblical "Beelzebub" (literally, "Lord of the Flies"), Beetlejuice is also given an origin story that could have come straight out of ''ParadiseLost'': Juno, who according to this analogy would represent God (and in fact is named after the queen-goddess of Roman mythology) mentions that Beetlejuice was once her assistant but had parted ways with her because he thought he could be a better exorcist. And it's not hard to imagine that Beetlejuice's threatened marriage to Lydia would not only make her his wife, but cost her her soul as well.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Sylvia Sidney plays a smoking ghost with a hole in her throat which emits smoke. Sidney died from throat cancer in New York City - at the age of 88.
* HilariousInHindsight: The original concept of Beetlejuice being a shape-shifting reptilian demon. One of the insults used against Ghost of ''Radio/TrueCapitalist'' is that he's a reptilian shape-shifter.
** Just like in this film, Michael Keaton had to wear similar eye makeup in the Batman films. The hilarious part comes in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' when Batman unmasks in front of Catwoman...
** Betelgeuse wore a wedding outfit that's similar to ComicBook/TheJoker's costume. Ohoho...
* IAmNotShazam: Due to the two being homonyms, people make the mistake of thinking the character is named Beetlejuice as well, rather than Betelgeuse.
** His name is officially "Beetlejuice" in the animated series - hence Lydia calling him "BJ."
** The Maitlands have difficulty summoning him at first, as Adam thinks it's pronounced "Bay-tell-gice."
*** Additionally, despite the poster, the film credits make it clear that the title is Beetle Juice, not Beetlejuice.
* MemeticMolester: Betelgeuse, who is very pedophilic compared to the tv show.
* MemeticMutation: "I'm the ghost with the most, babe."
** "Go ahead, make my millennium".
* NightmareFuel: The Snake form Betelgeuse takes.
** The Sandworm, an EldritchAbomination with a head within a mouth of another head.
* {{Squick}}: [[spoiler:Betelgeuse trying to marry Lydia.]] Unlike the tv show, where they at least show some affections towards each other to an extent, the latter is clearly disgusted with the former, being a potential pedophile.
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Delia's sculptures.
** Much of the film itself, to an extent.
* {{Wangst}}. Lydia's suicide note is a little over-the-top.
--> ''"I am...alone. ''(Scraps, starts over)'' I am... utterly... alone. By the time... you read this... I will be gone... having jumped ''(scratches out jumped)'' having... plummeted... off the Winter River Bridge."''
** Lydia's whole role in the film is a deliberate {{invo|kedTrope}}cation of this. The Maitlands (and even Betelgeuse himself) essentially talk her out of this attitude, and by the end she's a changed girl.
[[folder:The Animated Series]]
* HilariousInHindsight: When Claire Brewster loses election as class president in the episode "Running Scared," she immediately demands a recount.
* InNameOnly: Due to the [[AlternateContinuity different premise]], Lydia and Beetlejuice are friends now, and the Maitlands and Juno are nonexistent. Lydia is also several years younger than the movie version.
* TheScrappy: Claire Brewster for being an AlphaBitch and always insulting Lydia and her friends.
** Not many fans care for Beetlejuice's sickeningly sweet brother Donnie, either.
* {{Squick}}: You think Beetlejuice's crush on Lydia was creepy? At least BJ is relatively human - in one episode of the cartoon, "Pest O' The West", Lydia gets the unwanted attentions of an ''anthropomorphic bull ghost who wants to marry her''. Beetlejuice even sees what Lydia's future will be like if he doesn't go back to rescue her... [[NauseaFuel Yikes]].
** If it wasn't bad enough, in his nightmare, there's little baby heifers running about all over the place. Ew...
* TheWoobie: Percy the Cat in "Bewitched, Bothered, & Beetlejuiced".

Under Schapiro, the SEC reached its largest settlement ever with a financial institution. Goldman Sachs & Co. agreed in July 2010 to pay $550 million to settle civil fraud charges that it misled investors about mortgage securities before the housing market collapsed in 2007. Similar settlements followed with Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and others.
The Goldman case came to symbolize a lingering critique of Schapiro's tenure: No senior executives were singled out. The penalty amounted to roughly two weeks of earnings at Goldman. And Goldman was allowed to settle the charges without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, as were other large banks that faced similar charges.
Among the leading critics was U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who questioned how the SEC could allow an institution to settle serious securities fraud without any admission or denial of guilt. Rakoff later threw out a $285 million deal with Citigroup because of that aspect of the deal.
Lawmakers and experts say Schapiro made the SEC more efficient, and they note that she fought for increased funding needed to enforce new rules enacted after the crisis. She often clashed with Republican lawmakers who had opposed the 2010 financial overhaul law and wanted to cut the SEC's budget.
Schapiro also faced criticism over a key decision she made in response to the Madoff scandal. Madoff had been arrested a month before Schapiro took over at the SEC in January 2009.
Schapiro allowed her general counsel at the time, David Becker, to help craft the SEC's policy for compensating victims. It was later discovered that Becker had inherited money his mother had made as a Madoff investor. Schapiro acknowledged in 2011 that she was wrong to have allowed Becker to play a key role in setting the policy.
The SEC's inspector general concluded in a report that Becker participated "personally and substantially" in an issue in which he had had a financial interest. Some lawmakers complained that the affair further eroded the public's trust in the SEC.
Cox, the Duke professor, said that after a strong first two years, the SEC under Schapiro became less effective.
"The wind was really taken out of (Schapiro's) sails" by the political fallout from the Becker episode, Cox said. "I don't think she really got her legs back under her after that."
For example, Cox said Schapiro should have fought harder against legislation enacted in March that makes it easier for small start-ups to raise capital without having to comply immediately with SEC reporting rules.
Critics say the law went too far in removing SEC oversight, and might open the door to corporate scandals or to the sorts of deceptions that contributed to the financial crisis.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Biden vows gun fight just beginning in U.S.
WASHINGTON -- A day after U.S. President Barack Obama announced a wide-ranging series of gun-control initiatives, the administration kicked off its campaign to create public support and pressure lawmakers to pass the most comprehensive legislation since the mid-1990s.
"We're going to take this fight to the halls of Congress. We're going to take it beyond that," Vice-President Joe Biden told the U.S. Conference of Mayors Thursday. "We're going to take it to the American people. We're going to go around the country making our case, and we're going to let the voice of the American people be heard."
The administration will use Obama's fearsome campaign infrastructure to try to galvanize supporters around an issue that faces a protracted fight on Capitol Hill. To do so, the administration will pit its own grassroots network against gun-rights groups, such as the National Rifle Association.
"If you think we've suffered too much pain to allow this to continue, put down the paper, turn off the computer and get your members of Congress on record," Obama wrote in an opinion piece in the Connecticut Post. "Ask them why getting an A-grade from the gun lobby is more important than giving parents some peace of mind when they drop their child off for first grade."
The newspaper is based in Bridgeport, Conn., near Newtown, the site of last month's school shooting that left 20 children and six staff members dead and set off calls for new gun laws.
The mobilization efforts by the president's campaign committee began in earnest Thursday, with campaign manager Jim Messina emailing supporters an online petition and urging them to "stand with the president."
Biden, in his speech to the mayors, acknowledged there may not be "absolute unanimity" in how to mitigate gun violence, but emphasized consensus.
"Everyone acknowledges we have to do something. ... I hope we all agree that mass shootings like the ones that we witnessed in Newtown 34 days ago cannot continue to be tolerated," he said.
Biden outlined many of the initiatives announced by Obama Wednesday, including administrative actions to improve federal research on gun-related violence and to direct the attorney general to re-evaluate the categories of people who should be prohibited from owning a gun. And he made a forceful pitch for the policies that must pass Congress, including a universal background-check system for every gun sale and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
"High-capacity magazines don't have a practical sporting purpose or hunting purpose. As one hunter told me, if you got 12 rounds, it means you've already missed the deer 11 times," Biden said. "You should pack the sucker in at that point."
Biden took also pains to assert that the White House respected the Second Amendment.

Boris, Beckham and Lord Coe greet the Olympic Torch
David Beckham spoke of his pride today at helping bring the Olympics to his home turf.
The former England football captain, 37, said today would be an "amazing moment" with the Olympics boosting the fortunes of the East End for future generations.
He was speaking as he made a surprise appearance at City Hall where the torch relay neared the end of its journey.
Beckham, who was raised in east London near the Olympic Village, and whose role in the Games opening ceremony has been the subject of intense speculation, lit the flame when it first landed at RNAS Culdrose 70 days ago.

staff very friendly, great place to base yourself, for the area.just really nice little hotel.
The staff could not of been more helpful they were all lovely and the restaurant was great the food was great .
Good size room, friendly service and good food.
Lovely big room with comfy bed, only bad point was no air con in the room, and it was pretty hot in there but other than that highly recommended :-)
Size of the suite was lovely and the bucket of water and little bottle of bubbly was a nice touch. Breakfast was tastey The fact that after complaining about the lack of aircon, fan, WIFI and hairy bathroom we had £20 taken off the bill.
WiFi didnt work Hair on the bathroom floor - not mine, I have red short hair and my husband has very short blonde hair and the hair in the bathroom was long and brown. No Air con and no fan, stayed on one of the hottest days/nights of the year and although we had suite there had not been a fan automatically provided. We checked in late it had been a very long day, so all we wanted to do was go to bed, therefore did not go down to see the night porter to complain.
large room, cleanliness, good breakfast, good choice of evening meal, and tasty food,
there was nothing that we didn't like!
Very friendly, helpful staff on both Reception and in the Restaurant.
room and restaurant
no seating lounge other than a small area near the bar
The parking space, the room was very big and clean.
some animals (spiders and big mosquitoes) inside the room due to the window left opened. Not so much choiche for breakfast (no croissants or sweets on the little table in the middle of the room, just few uninviting things). Wifi was not working at all and the television was positioned where you cannot see at that!!!!!!! Just flat on the left hand side of the room! The beds were in the middle/right hand side!! You can do better, as you got the potential with this Hotel.
All was good, food very nice. Staff very good.
Nothing not to like.
The whole experience was very good from welcome to departure. I would stay there agagin
Good location, good parking and excellent staff.
Room was noisy as directly over kitchen and all it's fans.
The location was perfect hotel had a very friendly feel about it
Shower was lacking in pressure other than that all good
No complaints apart from noisy guests in next room. Lovely big clean room. Great breakfast. Pleasant reception and waiting staff.
Could hear neighbours in next room all evening which got so bad I had to phone reception to complain in early hours of morning. Obviously did the trick as they soon quietened down. Would be an idea to have a notice somewhere asking guests to respect those in the next room with regards to noise.
Staff where friendly and provided and excellent service.
Ideal location for a concert we were attending. Very comfortable bed; asked for upper floor and quiet room and that's what we got. Good breakfast and pleasant staff. Very nice Receptionist directed us to a lovely local country park to walk in.
The bar area was part of the main restaurant and we would have preferred a separate area for hotel guests to relax and have a drink in. The tea tray in the room only had one individual pack of basic biscuits for two people and 3 tea bags for the day; could do with just being a little more generous in relation to room rate paid. Wi-Fi kept dropping out but guess that happens in rural areas.
the surrounding countryside
Quiet, plenty of room
Five fire doors to negotiate to the room for handicapped people. Has the architect ever pushed a wheelchair?
The staff responded immediately to my report of loud noise caused by kitchen ventilation system or something, and we were offered another room and a discount. We enjoyed a quiet room thereafter.
The continuous noise and vibration underneath our original room.
friendly and helpful staff...
Very clean, spacious room, friendly staff, good breakfast. Plenty of free parking spaces.
Beautiful bedroom and boss gave us a free room for my nephew ...staff were superb
The food in the restaurant was a bit poor my marinara risotto only had 2 mussells and little else ..the spare ribs were poor the pizza was ok ..the hotel could do with an area where you could relax with a drink away from the restaurant maybe with a fruit machine etc
Lovely large, clean room
I find the staff really helpful and friendly.
Evening meal and breakfast were both very good My room had choice of beds that were firm or soft hence I was able to pick the one that suited me
The room was very noisy. I guessed that this was from the kitchen extract system however it continued all through the night

University of Minnesota women's basketball coach Pam Borton was fired Friday, one day after the Gophers were eliminated from the WNIT tournament.
The Gophers were 236-152 in 12 seasons under Borton. She led the program to 6 NCAA tournament appearances, including a 2004 Final Four appearance.
"Pam has had many successful seasons at the University of Minnesota, but we feel it is time to look at another leader to position this program for long-term success," athletics director Norwood Teague said.
"I am grateful for my 12 seasons at the University of Minnesota," Borton said. "This is a great state and university, and I have enjoyed becoming a part of this community. I want to thank my players and staff over the years. We've accomplished a lot together and they have made the experience truly special. I want to give a special thanks to our current players and staff. They are a great group and I have enjoyed coaching and working with them every day." Assistant coach Kelly Roysland has been named interim head coach, with a national search underway for Borton's successor.Borton's contract was set to expire with the end of this season, but former athletics director Joel Maturi added two more years to her contract before his tenure ended in June 2012.

Lots of value-added resellers see us as a hardware business. So what we are doing is saying, 'Instead of you suddenly changing your whole business model to have a software personality, why don't we give you a value- add where we are putting software on top of the capabilities you have today?' That is why the Vertica appliance is very important. It sits on top of the Converged System 300 so whoever basically knows how to implement and install that can very quickly add some software on top of it. It is a one-price appliance vs. a combination of software and hardware pieces.

4 Weirdest Stand-Up Comedians
Subscribe to our newsletter
Everyone likes a good laugh. Sometimes, the comedians are so funny they can cause tears to stream down our faces. Others, will be so dry in their deliveries we are unsure of the joke. Then, there are some that are just weird and we are still not sure if they are funny. But, once we are used to their brand of humor, then we get the jokes and laugh right along.
1. Mitch Hedberg
Mitch Hedberg was an unconventional comedian that often used one-liners to deliver his jokes. He was born in Minnesota and moved to Florida where he started his career. Two years later, he moved to Seattle and furthered his career. He liked to perform his comedy with his eyes closed, due to stage fright. He appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman ten different times. Many of his jokes stemmed from his real life situations. He would, sometimes, perform with his back to the audience, hair in his face, with his head down and wearing sunglasses. In 2005, he passed away at the age of 37, due to a drug overdose that affected his defective heart.
2. Steven Wright
Steven Wright is known for his slow and lethargic delivery. He has a deadpan delivery with irony and wit to go along with his philosophical and sometimes confusing jokes, which are most of the time one-liners. He was born in Massachusetts, where he started his stand-up career. In 1982, an executive producer from The Tonight Show had seen Steven perform. He asked him to appear on the show. Johnny Carson was so impressed that Steven was asked to come back less than a week later. He has been in movies, done voice over's and has even written a short film. He continues to tour today and can be seen in comedy clubs world wide.
3. Lewis Black
Lewis Black was born in Washington, D.C., but was raised in Maryland. His career started as a playwright, where he co-wrote one act plays. He honed is stand-up routine by being the opening act for the plays. When he performs his stand up routines, he seems to be a man on the edge of his sanity. He goes into political rants, where he uses profanity, sarcasm, hyperbole and angry finger wagging. He says he never writes a joke. He will simply start taking about something that makes him angry and then will stop just before he is about to have a stroke over it. He continues to make appearances on TV shows and in movies.
4. Rowan Atkinson
Rowan is a comedian, who was born in England. He is best known for his skit comedy in Blackadder, Thin Blue Line and Mr. Bean. He has a stuttering problem, so he tends to over articulate the "b" in words. This adds to the comedic value of what he is trying to say. He has a style that relies on a visual comedy rather than a monologue style. He has been compared to Charlie Chaplin and has even received accolades for his comedic style. He continues to do television shows and movies and has even dabbled in politics, while fulfilling a passion for cars.
So, for a good laugh at anytime of day of night, figure out what these comedians are all about and let the laughs come to you. There are many of times that you can see these acts on late night television and in a favorite comedy movie. These gentlemen will make you laugh until it hurts, once you have come to master what their brand of comedy is all about.

Right Hand bat
Does Not Bowl
After a long apprenticeship in domestic cricket, George Bailey has finally been rewarded with regular international appearances since his debut in 2012.
Bailey's rapid rise to the captaincy in limited-overs cricket speaks volumes of his leadership ability and popularity in the Australian dressing-room.
While his Test career has stalled following a disappointing 2013-14 Ashes campaign with the bat, he remains a crucial component of Australia's one-day international at Twenty20 line-ups.
Despite a disappointing Test series against England, the 28 runs he smashed off one Jimmy Anderson over in Perth was one of the highlights of a memorable summer for the Aussies.
His Test debut came on the back of his extraordinary ODI performance against India in 2013, where he plundered 478 runs at an average of 95.60 and jumped to No.2 in the world rankings.
