I remember reading that Bale lost 60 pounds for The Machinist -- was his original weight Batman weight? Lucky wife. Seven weeks it took him to make up the difference.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think he hovered around 190 for the last few years prior, as a result of the American Psycho workouts. He actually way overshot up to my weight class during the prep for Batman Begins, but the suits noticed he'd gained about 20-30 pounds of fat on top of the muscle and had him work it back off.

I don't even see what the purpose of an Inferno movie is. It has two characters, and they see a bunch of stuff in hell, and they meet Satan. And that's it. There's no real story to it.
That's why Hollywood creates one! Yay!

The Onion-esque nature of all the other news items in the sidebar on that page make me think the Inferno reportage might not be serious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aha! Matt wins at observational skills.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I saw H2G2 twice this weekend. I loved it. The casting is perfect. Martin Freeman had some great line deliveries. My favorite scene was Arthur seeing the Magrathea planet factory. His reaction was beautiful. With the sweeping shots and music I felt like I was there with him.. One thing that surprised me was the major Ford/Arthur slashyness. I liked it, but I was surprised.
Before I saw the movie the second time I went into Suncoast and they had the charactor knit dolls so I bought Marvin. He's sitting next to my bed.
I definitely plan to see this movie again but at a different theater. Maybe then I'll get the Serenity trailer.

Ann, that's a ferret.
From sumi's link:
New Line Pictures has announced that "The Divine Comedy: Inferno," an updated version of the classic comic poem by Dante Alighieri, will begin production in June 2005 for a summer 2007 release.
Comic????? COMIC??????
Although in this climate, I could see a remake of Dante's Inferno.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Well, it was made into a comic: [link]

Ah. Well, I could still see a remake of the Spencer Tracy film.
