In some ways I think the Coen Brothers may have based Anton Chiggurh a
little on The Terminator. Chiggurh was a killing machine without
remorse or compassion, with a single goal of getting the money back
and killing everybody who gets in his way.
I would also put Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs into this category,
for torturing a cop because he thought it would be fun.

games?
Fast Eddie: Fats, let's you and me shoot a game of straight pool.
Minnesota Fats: Hundred dollars?
Fast Eddie: Well, you shoot big time pool, Fats. I mean, that's what
everybody says: you shoot big time pool. Let's make it $200 a game.
Minnesota Fats: Now I know why they call you Fast Eddie.

SPOILER BELOW
Real (within the story) up until the moment when one of them
picked up a remote and 'rewound' the story to eliminate
an act of defense by one of the victims.
It's true that the act of defense was a longed-for and
satisfying act of war and revenge that the self-righteous
director used to 'educate' us viewers about our 'base'
motivations, but it was still an act of defense. However,
once the director shattered his own story, there was no
more reality within it.

I'm still thinking that Widmark wins with the giggle as he watches the woman fall down the stairs (without saying a whole lot). He was pretty cold blooded. (the other names came from the spouse).

I can see that. Even the coin flip, mentioned by trotsky doesn't give him any 'kudos' (for lack of a better word). He was a nasty bastard. Would we bet sociopath or psychopath for him?

Oooh, I'd forgotten about him. He does that steely eyed thing really well, doesn't he?

> recollection is plop in the drink then the end
I'm referring to Haneke's 1997 and 2007 editions
of Funny Games. I've seen them both. Yes, the
last murder is 'plop in the drink' (after a kiss goodby),
with more murders to come, implied at the very end.
But at that point there is no story. The director has
seen to that earlier, as I described.

go into the effect it was intended to have, or had ; by your logic
there is not anything "real" in the film at all. Most films are unreal
fiction, so for me it remains real in film world reality.
Smokie Darling (Annie)
You know, I don't think of Kiddo being cold blooded. She did what she had to do for revenge. A very hot blooded thing. She didn't do things just to watch someone die horribly (well, not every time anyway).
I think George might have it, the original Diabolique (or perhaps the *only* Diabolique <grin>).

Cold blooded? I thought it was in heat.
calvin
My point was not that it was fiction, but that within
the fictional story, the 'reality' was destroyed when
the young murderer picked up a remote and 'rewound'
the movie we were watching to eliminate the scene where
his sidekick was blown away by one of the victims. Then
he made sure that the gun could not be grabbed and used
by the one who had done so. Apparently you don't
remember that, but I don't see how you could forget it.

Haneke had a statement to make by doing this.
But I don't want to repeat what I said about it
upthread.

Maybe you're right. Boys will be boys, after all.

Was it cold blooded? I guess we should think of reptiles,
amphibians, and alien creatures of undetermined blood temperature.

Fair point; IIRC the Creature is supposed to be the missing link between
amphibian and man, so maybe it's lukewarm. :)
