Ok, since there wasn't one, I thought to myself, "What's a great way for people to waste their time on their lunch hour?" And yes, this is the best I could come up with, so shoot me.  What are your favorite Christian Bale films? I've always liked American Psycho, but I also appreciated Empire of the Sun when I was a kid. Your turn. |

Well, seeing as how the director of The Wrestler backed Christian Bale's rant, I think that loosely qualifies this to be in the (W)Rest of Wrestling section. Actually, in all honesty, I screwed up. Look, I'm only human!

There are only two movies that I actually thought Bale did a great job in.
American Psycho & Laurel Canyon.
Harsh Times was okay. The rest of his body of work is good (including Prestige, Batmans, 3:10 to Yuma, Equilibrium (though I did enjoy the gun-kata), , but nothing stellar to me.
His role as the villian in Shaft always cracked me up though.
I haven't seen the Machinist though - people keep telling me that's a good one.

Love him as Batman. And Patrick Bateman. And the dude in The Machinist. And in 3:10 to Yuma. And even in Shaft.
Would like to see Newsies.

Every time I see the new Terminator trailer I keep waiting for it to stop and go to Christian Bale just shouting.
"Oh GOOOOD! Good for you!"
It would be awesome.

I can't really defend or admonish the argument on the set because while I know it wasn't the wisest thing to do, I get the feeling I would've ended up exploding as well.

I haven't seen the Machinist though - people keep telling me that's a good one. I can't help but respect his devotion to getting into such a frail physical state for that movie. It's unreal. I'm a big fan of his work. |

American Psycho, Equilibrium, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight although I found his 'Batman voice' OTT in that.
As for the rant... a guy that intense and so into what he's doing that he doesn't want anything f***ing it up is the type of guy I want playing future war era John Connor.

I've only seen him in Black Knight and Machinist. He was a pretty good Batman and Machinist was powerful.
