Rachel, thanks to your reminder, I just had to watch Rasputin again, and they did have one (very brief) scene together after all. In fact, it was a really good one. Now I remember why it left me wanting a whole lot more: (1) They only exchange about four lines of dialog. (2) DW barely has any lines at all in the movie. He's there pretty much throughout but spends most of it just standing around looking concerned/skeptical. Rasputin was really AR's movie. I want to see them teamed up for an entire movie! (3) The ugly beards just ruin it for me! (I hate scraggly beards and goatees! It's superficial, I admit it, but when you've got two of the best looking men on the planet in the same room together, it's a shame to obscure all that beauty! [Apologies to Melissa W.; hope you're having a good chuckle like I would be if I heard anyone make such a comment about my dad!]) Anyway, I did enjoy the exchange ... there just wasn't enough of it!

Going back to that topic I just can't seem to leave alone (sorry if I'm annoying you--if so, just say so!) ... someone posted a link on the AR message board to a great article analyzing the attraction of Snape. I think it can also be extrapolated to explain our fascination with villains in general:

What do you think? Is it accurate?
