Hopefully Adam Mckay goes away.

Who instead should do a movie on the Theranos scandal?

Good luck finding someone on the street that's even heard of The Machinist.

It's always surprising when people bring it up, but it comes up more often than you think! People really like movies with that type of twist.

It's an okay movie. Not sure why anyone would lose deadly weight to do the role tho

I doubt he realized at the time that Equilibrium would end up being by far the more important project to his career in the long run, I think we can assume it had a lot to do with him getting the Batman gig.

I like Bale just fine, but I put him more in the Tom Cruise class of actors and he seems to have a higher opinion of himself than that. He's no DDL.

He can't look quite as nonplussed or slightly apprehensive, I agree.

It'll be completely forgotten like 2 years from now lol

I haven't seen Vice, so I can't comment on whether it's good or not, but this specific criticism is odd. Most films are going to be forgotten two/three/four years from now, and their quality isn't going to determine that. I mean, do you think most people would remember Philomena, Bridge of Spies, or Beasts of the Southern Wild? I sure as hell don't, because I forgot all of these existed until I looked up past Best Picture nominees for this post.

Christian Bale was great in The Prestige. Saying he’s no DDL is hardly a criticism at all

He was *really* great as he played the, er, characters, subtly different in that to a degree you only notice the second time.
