06.30.2009 Where did Christian Bale go?

public enemies 110609
Remember Christian Bale? He was in the Batman movies, and Terminator 4?  And after that he was in talks to star opposite Johnny Depp in “Public Enemies”?  And those talks were successful and he took the part and filmed the movie and it was a really big deal? Well you’d never know that based on the ad campaign, because Bale isn’t in any of the commercials and not on the poster. E! online, is there something you’d like to say?

“Apparently when you have the option of showing Johnny Depp staring off into the middle distance and looking iconic, you don’t need a second actor staring off into the middle distance and looking iconic. Not unless that second person carries the exact same, or better, commercial draw as Johnny Depp.
Christian Bale does not. You may think Bale does. You may want Bale to. You’re wrong.
According to the scale which measures domestic and worldwide actor bankability, Depp is overshadowed only by Will Smith in his ability to get butts in seats. Brad Pitt comes in at No. 3. Bale, who may be a very talented actor, is not so bankable; he is not even in the top 10.”

One of the new commercials even says “Depp. Is. Dillinger.” in three dramatic on-screen cuts, but no mention of Bale.  Nothing.  At all. How can that be?  They still put Cameron Diaz on posters and that fug dipshit hasn’t sold a movie by herself ever.  Posters with her are only good if you need something to point at as you tell the ticket guy, “I don’t know what that one is but if you sell me a ticket for it I will punch you in the face.”

    Apparently Johnny Depp speaks with some sort of Euro trash accent. The fucker was born and raised in Los Angeles. What’s with these batshit crazy, artsy fartsy actors who think just cause they marry a European and own a house on the French Riviera they can begin speaking with a fucking accent????

    Sailors, Seabees and Marines:
    We got sunlight on the sand,
    We got moonlight on the sea,
    We got mangoes and bananas
    You can pick right off the tree,
    We got volleyball and ping-pong
    And a lot of dandy games!
    What ain’t we got?
    We ain’t got dames!

    I’m not gay, but i’d spend a hot sweaty hour in the sauna with both of them spearing me at each end like i was a dirty little pig on a spit.

    Shit, really? They were JUST talking about him this morning on WMMR and saying how he was born in LA. Hmmm, whatever.

    The movie looks good so far
    Wait is this film drunk?

  11. dirtydiane 06/30/2009 11:18

    DB-have you been to europe? it’s actually kind of difficult to immerse yourself in another culture and *not* start speaking like them. at least that’s what i found.

    but some people are just asshats and need to look cool. johnny’s not really one of them though.

  12. Johann Sebastian Sock 06/30/2009 11:19

    Owensboro. Home of Moonlight Barbeque. Or Bar-B-Q. Or however the hell you wanna spell it.

  13. Dirty Dirt Mcgirk 06/30/2009 11:19

    DB, what is it with that shit? Why do they adopt these fake accents? Gwenyth Paltrow does that shit too. I’d like to punch her in her ugly tits and tell her to stop being so pretentious.

  14. dirtydiane 06/30/2009 11:20

    and depp has actually lived in paris for most of the past decade.

    let me just say that i’d gladly make a diane sandwich with johnny and christian.

    He did an interview with Letterman and said he almost never watches his own films

  16. ohmwrecker 06/30/2009 11:20

    That’s weird . . . I remember reading an interview with him and Hunter Thompson talking about both growing up in Kentucky. I don’t really detect a discernible accent either. He has an actor’s accent.

  17. Rokan's Treasure 06/30/2009 11:21

    That’s it?

    Brendumb . . . . you’re a fucking trainwreck, man.

  18. ohmwrecker 06/30/2009 11:22

    It’s a Johnny Depp love fest in here.

    We get packages from home,
    We get movies, we get shows,
    We get speeches from our skipper
    And advice from Tokyo Rose,
    We get letters doused with perfume
    We get dizzy from the smell!
    What don’t we get?
    You know darn well!
