so late to the party, i missed it.

Christian Bale is awesome. I finally got around to watching The Machinist tonight and it was pretty intense. If you're into psychological thrillers and being freaked out, then you should probably check it out. Besides the story being full of suspense, he looked absolutely emaciated! That alone was completely striking.

Good old Wikipedia: Christian Bale starved himself for over 4 months prior to filming, as his character needed to look drastically thin. Allegedly his eating consisted of one can of tuna and an apple each day (approximately 275 calories), although there are conflicting reports on this. According to the DVD commentary, he lost 62 pounds (28 kg), reducing his body weight to 120 pounds (54.4 kg). Bale wanted to go down to 100 pounds (45.3 kg) but the filmmakers would not let him due to health concerns. He later regained the weight, plus an additional 40 pounds (18 kg) due to weightlifting, in preparation for his role in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins.



Tonight:

Cvlt of Yovth - S/T 7"
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings
Morrissey - Bona Drag

and other things... My room is freezing so i'm going to blanket up and slumber in a pharmaceutical glaze.

Volatile romance is as dead as love letters, so on a dark cloud i'll dream of what shouldn't be and how very bad I want it.
