I just watch "Contagion" again on HBO. Jude Law manages to play a HUGE Douchebag, a Matt Drudge type that pushes alot of false information about the Virus wrecking havoc on the globe. He thinks he is some sort of prophet but he's so douchey that he promotes a fake story about how homopathic medicines cured him when in reality he was taking money from Hedge Fund managers who were looking to make a profit on this crisis.
And Jude Law is one of those very attractive actors and yet they made him look like a douchebag. His face was nasty, greasy looking and his teeth were really bad (I watched Gattaca again just to confirm that the teeth he was wearing in 'Contagion' was probably fake).
Post here other giant Douchebags in the movies.

(36,301 posts)In real life it was Sonny Black who was killed by the mob for allowing an FBI under cover agent into their midst. Lefty was to be killed too but the FBI arrested him on his way to his supposed final meeting. He refused to cooperate and the Mob called off the contract on him.
In the pic below, Lefty is the man in the center:

(95,337 posts)In that movie the only douchebag was Scarlett O'Hara.
She kept pining for a man who was not available, marrying the wrong man just for social status and all the while leading Rhett Butler around but never quite loving him as much as he loved her. That douchebag Scarlett deserved what she got in the end.

(1,675 posts)I always pictured that they got back together. I read the book that was supposed to be the sequel which was HORRiD, but I just KNOW Rhett and Scarlett got back together (said with a southern accent)-sorry to digress
MicaelS
(8,747 posts)He was one of the decent ones. Scarlett O'Hara is the biggest douchebag in the entire film. Never understood people's love affair for that character and that film.

(95,337 posts)He was just a misunderstood cannibal. The real douche in that movie was that weezel that was Dr. Chilton, the guy who ran the crazybin where Lector was originally kept. Just went Clarice was making a breakthrough with finding Buffalo Bill, Dr Chelton decided to cut a deal with the Senator whose daughter was kidnapped in order to get his name in the papers. THAT, my dear friend, is a douchebag

See it if you can!
A very un-manichean film.
