Bush voted Movie Villain of the Year
28 October 2004

LONDON: President George W Bush may see himself as defender of democracy and compassionate conservatism but film fans have voted him Movie Villain of the Year.

The American Axis of Evil fighter is wooing voters with security pledges ahead of the presidential election next week, but it was Bush's role in Michael Moore's anti-war film Fahrenheit 9/11 that won him the villainous title.

In a poll for Total Film magazine, the US leader fought off competition from such well-known baddies as atomic scientist Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2 and fellow Texan Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

"The overwhelming response of our readers voting Bush top villain just goes to show how frightening people found him in Fahrenheit 9/11," Total Film's editor Matt Mueller said.

"He was absolutely terrifying in that film. The infamous scene where he's informed about the Twin Towers attack while visiting a school, and sits there absolutely paralysed, is enough to strike fear into anyone's heart," he said.

BTW, the number one movie rental for the week ending Oct. 10 was F-9/11, with only five days since street date.
