God forbid they ever cast Bale in a Marlon Brando biopic.

EDIT: Shot out of sequence, of course.

DIRECTOR: Okay, Chris, we need you fit on Thursday, fat on Friday, fit again on Saturday, really fat on Monday, and pudgy on Tuesday.

BALE: *wheeze*

I just hope his family keep him away from any scripts that involve heroin usage.

Yeah, if it's a spiritual successor to The Big Short, then I'm very interested.

Dick Cheney shot a man in the face and made the man apologize.

Dick Cheney literally doesn't have a heartbeat.

Dick Cheney had several man sized safes in his office and no one knew what was inside, ever.

There are definitely less interesting unremittingly evil politicians to make biopics about.

What? Other Guys is awesome. The wooden gun is my favorite gag, and then the credits sequence being "Hey this financial poo poo wasn't a parody look at all these crimes all these people comitted and got away with". Also Step Brothers rules. The dad breaking down and encouraging his idiot sons by telling them he too once had a dream, when he was a child he wanted to grow up to be a dinosaur, and he would have been a great one.

Bale is way to bashfully cute to play a man as incomparably evil as Dick Chaney. Getting fat isn't enough, he'd literally need to, like, dye his heart black or something.

You're quite good at turning me on.

The Other Guys has a nasty habit of calling attention to its own jokes (eg. Michael Keaton saying TLC lyrics) and it constantly took me out of the movie and subsequently ruined the joke.

It's sort of on you if you 'check out' of a movie literally less than 10 minutes into it.

I'd find the description of The Other Guys being 'aimless and unfunny' way less baffling if it didn't come after a direct comparison to Anchorman 2.
