The Machinist: The Sequel

Christian Bale is really fucking serious. When dude plays a crackhead, he goes all the way. He crawls into the mind of Amy Wino and doesn't let go until the last "cut" is screamed. This is Christian on the set of The Fighter in L.A. yesterday. Dude plays a boxer turned crackie. Judging by those clothes, it looks more like he's playing Screech in a dark and dramatic sequel to Saved By The Bell.

That apple is probably the only thing he's nibbled on in days. Seriously, food and him are fucking done professionally...and personally. My stomach is weeping at the thought of how he lost all that weight. He probably just hung around Lindsay HoHan for an hour or two. Learn from the best!

And I'm guessing this is what you would call "meth hair."

Sorry about his fucking hair ! Love this fucker though..

James Haven is still smarting over Christian getting the Batman role that James Haven so wanted but we are still good friends.

James Haven has told Chrissy that he must eat more he is looking a bit frail.

I know! Sorry, I was at the unemployment office...three hours for them to tell me that my resume and work experience were excellent and the did not see any "obstacles" for me to find a job...UUUUH aside from the fact that THERE ARE NO JOBS!!!!

UGH, I hate that, so, let me get this straight, you have to be an uneducated idiot for the goverment to help you out, Yeah that makes a lot of sense!!!!
Last year I was unemployed for almost the whole fucking year! they pretty much told me that with my qualifications if I didn't find a job is because I didn't want to.
I pray to God I NEVER have to ask them for help again.

He Dicho! caso cerrado!!

LOL! It would take a LOT for me to become disenchanted Bale.

Hell, I'm excited that I found two other people that have actually seen "All the Little Animals"!!!

All the Little Animals = Instant classic.

****************************************************************************

I cried throughout that entire film. I don't think it would've had that kind of effect on me had anyone else besides Christian Bale & John Hurt been in the leading roles. They pulled it off beautifully. Definetly one of my favorite Bale films.

I could've sworn he said last time he'd never do this again because of his child...

*ahem*

Bale has always gone through physical change for his roles..American Psycho, Harsh Times, Batman, Rescue Dawn, Equilibrium, The Machinist, All the Little Animals…

I don't doubt he's an ass sometimes, but he's a brilliant actor!!!

=P

Damn, dude looks like FUCK! He's already admitted to messing up his body with his extreme weight loss for The Machinist followed by his extreme weight gain & buffing up for The Dark Night. If he keeps this shit up, he'll never be able to digest & metabolize food properly again.

And what is up with those jeans?! I hope this movie takes place in 1987, because otherwise that would mean that this is how he normally dresses & that's just... sad.

That being said, I'd still pay cash money just to smell his farts.

OMG I would of never knew that was him if I didnt read it, he does not look good that thin. Im stuck on stupid looking at his picture. Not the handsome, sexy, filthy mouthed man I know.

I almost believed the tittle xD But as I liked alot of the films hes been in I think its pretty mest up when he goes this drastic weight loss/gain for his roles.Take care Bale cause that aint healthy!

Katt's picture

I've got a lot of respect for CB...he always seems to choose good projects (err, besides that 'Terminator' mess) and puts a lot of work into what he does. As for the rumors of him being high strung, most actors are not, shall we say, like you and me. You'd have to be at the least a lil narcissistic to choose such a profession. Or maybe dude was just having a bad day...
Whatever. I still love me some CB.

He's worse than Edward Norton in the 'goes overboard for his roles' department. I wonder what kind of fucked-up effects this kind of weight loss has on his liver and heart.

LisaRose's picture

He could seriously be hurting his body for a role. Makes me think of Luther Vandross' up and down weight loss which killed him in the end....

Stock Broker's picture

C Bale needs to take a valium with a Wild Turkey chaser and chill out. Dude is getting waaaay to "DeNiro-esque" for his own good.

He's trying to hard to be Oscar worthy.

NOT IMPRESSED's picture

He's WAY too serious for me, even though I usually think he's hot. I was actually surprised to find out that he's not even 40 yet...he seems older. Dude needs to calm the fuck down and relax.

He's a good actor but takes himself waaaayy too seriously. Try a comedy

He did. American Psycho.

FOr the machinist his diet was 3 eggs a day (per an interview I read). THREE EGGS.

i went on a blind date years ago with a loser who had acid washed jeans and the same receding hairline as pictured above. Oh, and he thought he was hot. And he asked the bartender in nice bar we ended up going to (where I was a regular) 'Do you have any ICEHOUSE BEER?' Loud enough people turned around. And oh, he didn't bring his fucking wallet.
This picture is making me feel dirty!

Master Blaster's picture

It's incredible how he has the self-discipline to do this to himself. He did the same thing for 'The Machinist' and then turned right around and pumped back up for 'Batman'. Say what you will about him but the guy has an insane work ethic. Although, I wonder what fucked up shit this does to the body. I'm sure in his later years, he'll buy an island and go all Brando.

HA! No way! I believe every performer has to have an ego (If you don't believe in yourself, who else will?), but St. Skank's fabulous self image would never allow her to do that to herself. But that's because she knows, deep down inside, that she's all smoke & mirrors -- no substance.

When I was a kid I fell in love with him in Little Women (I read the book so I knew the end but he still should have ended up with the OG Wino! Not Samantha Mathis!). This however is like a glimpse into the future. Thinning hair, guant face. Lost appeal.

What are the chances of Bale winning an Oscar?

I think there have been a few performances of his that warranted more than just a nomination.

However... not so great this year, but not his fault either.

The Terminator films have been shit since ANOLD! stopped doing them and... Public Enemies is also shit and not even Depp, Cottilard, etc.,etc. could improve that shit.

I hope those were his 'due' flukes this year, because if there's an actor who deserves better scripts/roles, it's him.
