Mal ,'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Ha! Because Batman is in NO WAY a big rude freak.
(Granted, he wouldn't throw a hissy fit, because he wouldn't have to. A couple throat punches and batarangs later, and everyone falls in line. But polite he ain't.)
Well, no, I don't expect Batman to be polite. On the other hand, I don't think a DP would walk through his shot, either, lest Bats, you know... look at him.
Well, no, I don't expect Batman to be polite.
I know; you just said that, given the connection of Bale playing *Batman,* maybe that's why you were disappointed, and the character of Batman is hardly known for politeness --
Actually, I think I'm having problems communicating today. Everything coming out is making me sound like more of an asshole than normal.
A) Not an asshole normally or ever so
B) your logic is faulty.
Christian Bale loses his SHIT.
Scott Von Doviak regretted not titling his post about this at the Screengrab: "Christian Bale Goes Batshit."
From another board: "I can't wait until Bale and Werner Herzog work together."

Was that a joke I don't get?
Edit: Because bon bon already tricked me into seeing Rescue Dawn.
10 Cinematic Clichés That Must Die!
About half of these are not cliches but complaint that certain groups (like Christians) are not treated as saints 100% of the time. I see plenty of portrayals of heroic military and ex-military. So we should never have villains be military or ex-military. Especially if a villain is an effective villain, is able to successfully use violence, the military is one plausible place for them to pick up those skills. As would be the police force. I think back in the late seventies and early eighties there might have been reason for complaint that most portrayals of military people were as pyschotic killers. But from that point forward, I would bet that heroic military/ex-military outnumber military villains by three to one.
Okay, granted, Bale was over the top, and it's a regrettable lapse in manners and decorum among mature adults.
However. The level of intensity--the f-word aside--is no different than encounters in every workplace, or at least the majority, from time to time. I've had rants from my parents--and given them to my children--at about that level of frustration and on-my-last-nerve. I've certainly had words at other drivers, complete with the f-word, at that level or higher. I don't think this is a singular enough occurance to merit the shocked and scandalized reaction. Or maybe I'm just a thick-hided old veteran of vocal wars.
I still say, unless this escalated to the physical, it's not especially noteworthy, and redeemable by a sincere apology and no recurrance.
Ah, the site is "Big Hollywood" devoted to the idea that Hollywood is a land of left wing extremism where conservatives are subject to reverse McCarthyism. And Michael Moore is fat!
