| but now that he's brutally beaten up his mother and his sister, maybe people will see his dark side and endow his potrayals with more dramatic weight. |

| Such unsubstantiated and careless mudslinging is not really in accordance with the house style. It's not that we're not above character assassination, but the favoured MO is expertly wielded stilleto, preferably slid between the ribs from behind with one hand whilst the other stifles the scream. . |

| But if it turns out they got the story wrong and he was actually brutally beaten up by his mother and his sister, his believability as a superhero may vanish. |

The trouble and strife went to see Mamma Mia! lat a late showing last night with a group of girlfriends, nine of them, after first having indulged in a good meal. Apparently, they all had a really good time. However, not having been there, I'm not in a position to say the same for those sittig in the adjacent rows.
All together now, "Waterloo..." |

| Re. the Christian Bale incident, I understand that he attacked his mother with a trowel, piercing her liver and spleen repeatedly with the blade, before crushing his sister's head between two large rocks. He then apologized, and neither woman lodged a formal complaint. That's what I heard, anyway. |

Sorry for my delay in replying. I still have no home computer and am using the public library two or three days a week to do my online stuff.
[And, until I get a home computer, please indulge me by assuming that the previous two sentences begin every post of mine. Thanks.]
Both guys were frightening, no doubt. Difficult to say which one was more so.
Bardem's Anton Chigurgh (sp?) had a cold efficiency to him. It was as if he'd long ago expelled all human emotion from his system because he'd realized at a young age that that was the way to excel at his particular career choice.
The Joker, on the other hand, while just as dangerous to anyone who happens to cross his path or, for that matter, be in the same ZIP Code, is having A LOT of fun while he does what he does. If he ever met Chigurh, The Joker would probably ask him, "Why so serious?". |

I tried, really tried, to read American Psycho, but it was so boring that I couldn't finish it, so I never saw the movie. Bale has been good in a number of movies, though. I did see The Dark Knight this afternoon, and thought Heath Ledger absolutely stole the movie. He was amazing. |
