joe pantoliano, best known for his star turns in both the matrix (first and only film that mattered in the trilogy), sopranos, and christopher nolan’s genius of a film, memento, turned up at the republican national convention. as did rosario dawson. isn’t pantoliano the same guy who 4 years ago went door-to-door for john kerry in ohio? or was he actually knocking on doors for george w. bush? jon voight, who used to be known for ‘midnight cowboy’ but is now recognized for being the father of angelina jolie, could be seen in the crowd tuesday night during fred thompson’s speech.

dirty harry meets mccain

the washington posts writes that john mccain and clint ‘dirty harry’ eastwood met up while both were in michigan. do you think eastwood, the legendary actor-director, who had a run-in with spike lee recently might do a chuck norris style commercial for mccain?

x-files crushed by batman

has the dark knight completely overshadowed fox mulder? or is it because david duchovny held out too long –until he had a string of losing films, before he signed onto the second x-files movie. in the end, it’s probably a bit of both. well duchovny is quite 20th century while christian bale is a 21st century kinda guy.

public realtions problem for christian bale

how to fix it. well, next week for sure christian bale will be on the cover of us weekly, people, and the sun and mirror. what can he do? well, he should sit down with his publicist and spill the beans on his mother and his sister. this is called character assasination.

for instance, has his mother ever been hospitalized for depression, does his sister have a drinking problem? have either of them ever had a peaches geldof moment? does either of them have a police record. you know the usual stuff people dig up to smear those they dislike. the only problem is, it’s his mother.

christian bale marriage on the rocks?

batman’s marriage, apparently is on the rocks. and according to the daily maily the stress of a deterorating marriage coupled with christian bale’s mother making outrageous comments about bale’s wife and himself pushed him over the edge. but not so over the edge that he touched anyone. let’s speculate for a moment. in the article he said he cursed. what do you think he said. fuck you you little cunt. or something like that. that’s what johnny rotten would’ve said and well, isn’t christian bale british too?

christian bale’s mom and sister

we hesitate mention the ‘a’ word. and i don’t mean asshole. because we here love christian bale and are trying to figure out how one man (whose not all that tall) could assault two women. we don’t believe it. and how did he do it? did he throw a lamp acrosss the hotel room and one end his his mom and the other end his sister. mind you this is all speculation. perhaps they were trying to hit him up for some batman cash, not realizing that the 155M take for the dark knight will almost cover the production cost, but they probably got another 155M to go to recoup the marketing and advertising costs.

but we love christian bale, and will suport him through thick and thin. because, well, he was brilliant in american psycho. don’t let them shake you down christian. we’ve watched entourage. we know what happens when there’s a movie star in the family. everyone wants his cut.

the dark knight 155 million opening weekend

the biggest weekend ever, they’re saying. the opening numbers best spiderman 3 by a cool 4 million.

let’s let the brits make more films. we all know that the dark knight, the new batman film is technically a british flick. and now we know that ridley scott isn’t the only englishman who can make great fluffy movies. now we have christopher nolan. but we know he at least can make the intellectual stuff too. memento is a mini-classic.

more video clips from batman

if you can stand the buffering, you can go to the comcast website to watch some video clips from ‘the dark knight.’ but don’t get too excited. the new christopher nolan film, starring welshman turned american, christian bale, features stuff like filming in chicago and how they made the clown masks. or something like that. and you have to endure the endless buffering. aren’t you tired of hollywood being so paranoid that they won’t even allow fans to legally download a one minute video clip. instead, they force people who don’t have a highspeed connection –and even those of us who do, to watch less than quality level video.

too bad warner brothers decided not to have a worldwide opening for this films. those of you who live overseas might get so anxious that, well you, downloading is always an option innit, as michael caine might say?
