Good morning, Member 👋
If there's one thing I can happily lose an entire day doing, it's watching movies. Give me a comfy chair, a bowl of popcorn, and a good film, and I'm all set. But every now and then, a villain comes along who's so convincing that you catch yourself muttering at the screen as if they actually hear you. So today's question is this: Who's a film or TV villain you really hated? Don't worry—we promise not to judge if you secretly admired how good they were at being bad. 😉
Let's stroll down memory lane with “Would the Grandkids Know This One?”!
Remember this old phrase? “Confab”.
Share your answers here for a shot at the next shout-out. Now, before anyone starts campaigning for the villain's side (there's always one!), pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, and let’s dive into today’s stories!
