Fine. It's a Christian Bale thread.

I can't be bothered starting a thread for this, but did everyone here know that Christian Bale is WELSH?

I'd answer "yes" too, but I am kind of afraid of this section now.

I watched "The New World" on Friday, followed by "Empire of the Sun" on Saturday. It was only then that I realised that he probably wasn't American.

So Heath Ledger has been confirmed as The Joker?

He was totally hot in Pocahontas.

I really haven't seen enough of his films to have an opinion on his acting. I think I've only seen All the Little Animals, Pocahontas

and the edited for basic cable version of American Psycho.

I was thinking of Christian Slater.

I was about to say he was in the awesome movie Heathers.

I think the first thing I saw him was Swing Kids, which also featured:

Don't forget The Prestige which looks pretty damn interesting

yeah!

I'd watched it a million times. Then I saw the movie All the Little Animals, which I thought was my introduction to Christian Bale. I kept thinking, I know this guy from something...

I thought he was great in the Machinist, but felt the movie was flawed. Not quite fluid in its trickery.

Batman I thought was good, and more inline with my vision of Batman than any of the other interpretations (years as a comic book collector). I like that they're going with the Dark Night angle for the next one. Dunno about Ledger though.

Mobiesque · Post by **Mobiesque** » 20 Aug 2006, 21:17

Well I found it failed in being 'noir' stylized, though it tried - but then they'd put something slighly 'comic-like' in it, more in line with the rest of the movies / 60s series. And as for the plot - it fell on its face.

Machinist could have been a little cleverer, yes, but man - just looking at him was worth watching it for. Well shot, interesting concept, good performances.

Those are some poorly formed sentences right there. Sorry, it's early.

judasmuppet · Post by **judasmuppet** » 20 Aug 2006, 21:20

Nah, man. You're wrong about Batman...

That looks potentially really good.

Busta · Post by **Busta** » 20 Aug 2006, 21:57

Batman Begins owned.
It was nothing like you stated, Mobius. Comparing it to the 60's series in the slightest is a tad silly.

The Prestige is one of the only films im looking forward to..

Busta · Post by **Busta** » 20 Aug 2006, 21:59

Let's hope Billy Dee Williams reprises his role as Harvey Dent!

I think Crispin Glover would be the perfect choice for The Joker. Ah well..

In American Psycho Bale broke in a sweat at the exact same time in every take of the buisness card scene...
