Did you know when filming the movie Phoenix Down or whatever the hell it's called, the one with Steve Zahn where they are POWs, he only ate 1 apple and 1 can of tuna a day?

You'd think a multi millionaire actor such as himself would of got a better contract.

I have to admit I don't understand the hype ('hype' maybe isn't the word, let's say 'enthusiasm') for the last Batman movies. Ledger was great, but besides that... I don't get it. But again, there are so many things I don't get, who cares.

I'm with you, the Dark Knight is awesome, but the rest is totally meh material, like most american hero movies.

Rescue Dawn, yeah, not only him but the other guys lost a lot of weight to shoot this. The director himself lost 30 pounds or something, just out of sense of solidarity. According to IMDB. And Bale lost 55 pounds, wow.

Dedication to the job.

Begs the question: do superhero movies get made by studios outside of Los Angeles?

I thought Dark Knight was fine (mainly Ledger and the Bank Robbery influences from the great Heat), but I never understood why Batman Begins was thought of so highly. I thought it was bloated, and the training scenes dragged forever.

Good point. But there are exceptions, like Hero with Jet Li.

Talking about hero comics, I much prefer the japanese ones. I never understood why all american heroes have that tight dresses, looks ridiculous imho.

Blade

Lockout - 7/10
American Reunion - 8/10
Wrath of the Titans - 7/10
30 Minutes or Less - 7/10
A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas - 7/10
Equilibrium - 9/10 Classic!!
Haywire - 8/10 A few slow parts but the INCREDIBLE fight scenes make up for them.

Ah, Equilibirum. The movie that accomplished ripping off a dozen.

Sean Bean was great IIRC though. As always.

I think he did that diet for The Machinist too then? Needless to say the guy will cut weight and put it back on like crazy given the fact that he did The Machinist between American Psycho and Begins and then did Rescue Dawn between Begins and TDK. That kind of a regiment has to be difficult and obv taxing on the body.

Oh, and I recently watched First Blood, Wolverine Origins and The Empire Strikes Back. The Empire Strikes Back is so good.

They may not be the best movies ever made like people let on, but they are still kick ass movies and far better then any other version of Batman ever.

Hands down they are. I wasn't discussing that. It's just when you hear some people, it's like they talk about the second coming of Jesus or something.

Don't make me laugh guys. Burton's Batman kick so much ass out of Nolan's. When I hear the growls that are coming out of Bale's mouth I piss myself.
Good movies , don't get me wrong, but inferior to 1989 Batman ( one of the best movies ever ).

BTW, watched Wrath Of The Titans, shittiest movie I've seen this year so far.

Yeah, the growls are silly.

@[deleted]: Now to be honest, I perfectly knew at least someone was going to react when I wrote this. The Burton ones were good for their time.

Christian Bale isn't the most outstanding character in real life, but he's one hell of an actor. I don't recall what movie it was, but he's been a tremendous actor back in his youth as well. Bale would make an excellent Jesus! Bloody and the delusion of salvation would fit very nicely with Bale :lol:.
