Christian Bale and Tom Hardy filmed some scenes on Wall Street yesterday for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, and I guess I never noticed before how goofy the new bat-suit looks. It’s like they saved money by re-using the pants from Tron. Come to think of it the bat-pod looks like one of those Tron light cycles too. Is this a prequel or something?

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ filmed in Pittsburgh over the weekend, and if you liked the first two Christopher Nolan Batman movies but thought they needed more fighting on courthouse steps, good news, because that shit totally happens in the third one. Specifically Batman fighting Bane on some steps. And though he’s not listed by the paparazzi agency and I can’t find any mention of him, that also looks like the first picture of Joseph Gordon Levitt, who plays a beat cop named John Blake.
Oh, um, “spoiler alert”.
Actually, after that Marion Cotillard arrived and ruined all kinds of shit that I probably didn’t want to know about, so, seriously, THERE MAY BE HEAVY SPOILERS HERE. Don’t keep reading if you don’t want to know.
10. KELLY BROOK IS PHOTOGENIC - this picture was the topic of some heated debate around the office while making the Top 100 list, with many feeling it should be the number 1 story of the year. Of course I’m the only one who works here, so it was mostly my penis taking a stand. Eventually we agreed on the Top 10. That’s the price of leadership. (May 20th)
9. PAULA ABDUL GOT FIRED FROM AMERICAN IDOL - because she was demanding a raise from 5 million to 20 million dollars a year. When they finished laughing several days later, the producers hired Ellen DeGeneres. Of course they could have trained a monkey to whack off in the corner and it still would have been more insightful than anything Paula had to say. Seacrest could say, “Thanks Simon, that’s a good point. What about you Masturbating Monkey, what did you think?” And they could cut to the monkey in the corner jacking off. They just have to be sure to not accidentally pan to Randy Jackson. I have to believe the NCAAP would have something to say about that. (August 5th)
Christian Bale lost 63 pounds for his role in the 2004 movie “the Machinist”, then gained 75 in just a few months for “Batman Begins”. Now he’s being all actor-y again and shedding weight for his role as a boxer who gets addicted to hugs drugs in “the Fighter”.
This guy is a real pro. When he takes a part he lives it. That’s why I sent him my script about that guy who punched Perez in the face.

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.”
It would be easy to imagine that everyone in Hollywood hates Christian Bale now since that tape made him sound like a lunatic. But it would also be easy to imagine a half giraffe, half pig called a "giraffapig". My retarded point being, it’s easy to imagine stuff, but that doesn’t make it real. Radar Online says…
Bale became a hero to cast and crew after his tirade against (director of photography) Hurlbut, who was widely despised, sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively. "Hurlbut was a condescending (bleep) to everyone," a source told us. His favorite line was "Why don't you go stab yourself in the head, you idiot."
And yesterday director Ron Howard called Howard Stern and Bale came up because Ron Howard’s daughter Bryce plays Bales wife in "Terminator: Salvation", the movie Bale was filming when the tape was made.
RON HOWARD: She told me about when it happened because of course it was really startling, she said wow this was a weird night. They were doing this tense dramatic scene, it was like the most important dramatic scene between them, they play husband and wife, and the DP disrupted it by walking around behind (the camera), which really is a no-no, you know, you’re an actor playing an intense difficult scene, that’s not supposed to happen. And he (Bale) went off. And I listened to the tape, and at the time, you know, he regretted it immediately. Bryce told me this is not his nature, this is not who he is. What shocked her so much, that he had gone off that much, but it’s really, it’s intense on a set … He flipped out, I’m sure he wishes he wouldn’t have gone on that kind of a rant, but, in all honesty, that kind of stuff happens, he’s an artist, he cares about it…
HOWARD STERN: Should the director have stepped in?
RON HOWARD: Well I think the director was trying to step in, and the question is, you know, you hear him trying, and look, they got their shooting done that night, the next day the were back to work, that DP didn’t lose his job, you know, and they made a great movie apparently. I haven’t seen it but Bryce has seen it and thinks it's fantastic.
Wouldn’t it be a surprising twist if the camera pulled back, and we see Ron doing the interview while Bryce sits in the corner with a Miller Lite to her eye to keep down the swelling. Because she still has to work with Bale, who is crazy, and Ron was trying to protect her. And also there’s a dog with really bad diarrhea. People would be all like, wow, that ending sure was surprising.
