...a very emotional and tough scene between Christian Bale and Bryce Howard. A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration...

It's a fucking Terminator film...

Even if it's just a "fucking Terminator film" it speaks highly of Bale that he's willing to be committed to that performance - Reagen Feb 4, 10:01 2
- Not sure they can recreate the magic of T2. T3 seemed to kind of be a joke, to me at least. -- nm - lileve Feb 4, 10:10
- I am off to lunch. Good luck with this. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 10:02
McG presents The Remains of the Judgment Day. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 4, 09:52
Have you ever even seen one? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 09:52 7
- two of them in fact - znufrii Feb 4, 09:54 6
  - So, a sequel should just be more of the same? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 09:56 5
    - getting upset, and taking yourself far too seriously as an actor are two different things. -- nm - znufrii Feb 4, 09:57 4
      - So, if you are not cast in a Shakespearian film you just just phone in your performance? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 09:59 2
        
        yes, because that's exactly the point I'm trying to make. - znufrii Feb 4, 10:03 1
        
        why don't you tell us the films it's OK to phone it in on, then. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 10:06
      - Jesus, I've said worse things to friends before during a few heated exchanges. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 09:58
... would you be saying the same thing about The Dark Knight? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:51 18
- probably. -- nm - znufrii Feb 4, 09:52 17
  - then perhaps you should be saying "it's just a film", not "it's just a Terminator film" :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:54 16
    - no, because there are many films where such criticisms by an actor would be justified. - znufrii Feb 4, 09:55 11
      - they are actually always justified. if a person cannot do their job to their best ability because someone eles is doing *their* job incorrectly, - Andie Feb 4, 10:03 1
        
        this is the part that boggles me, knowing what he does. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 10:06
      - When the paycheque is $25,000,000, you'd better be giving it your all, regardless of how popcorn it might be. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:58 4
        
        that depends, is getting paid 25 million to act, or to look pretty and badass and blow sh!t up? -- nm - znufrii Feb 4, 10:00 3
        
        Does that matter? He's being paid to take his job seriously. - Beryllium Feb 4, 10:02 1
        
        But it's not a high class theatre production, so he should just take the money and suck on screen I guess. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 10:05
        
        guess you won't know till you see the movie. -- nm - mafic Feb 4, 10:01
      - sorry, but that's balls. there's plenty of emotion in lots of "Action Hero Movie Star films" - mafic Feb 4, 09:58 1
        
        needing to convey emotion is completely different from taking yourself far too seriously as an actor. -- nm - znufrii Feb 4, 09:59
      - So wait, one of the two you have seen is this film? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 09:58 1
        
        I've seen T2 and American Psycho and Batman Begins ... and as I understand it, T4 (like BB) has an actual story and writing -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:59
    - Exactly. If it is not live stage, why bother? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 09:55 3
      - he'd get eaten alive onstage - znufrii Feb 4, 09:58 2
        
        I would like to see that. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 10:00
        
        Sounds like a quality show you guys used to put on. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Feb 4, 10:00
