Bearing in mind how cranky CB was at the set of Terminator Salvation where he didn't have to starve himself or anything, I can only imagine how everyone is walking on pins on needles *now*.
But I'm no fan. I think CB is one of the most overrated actors around.

Except they're not because he's not staying around people. He does his scenes, then leaves. Very wise.
;D

Tuna is one of the worst fish he could have picked, because of its large size it has high levels of mercury. It shouldn't be eaten more than once a week. He would have been better off with something small like the sardine (which is what i just had for dinner, lol!).
(PS: Wow, a major thunderstorm just went by! It got so dark and moved so quickly!)

I can just imagine you there with your can of sardines, and the lightning waving like a white sheet in the window!!
I read an article about Bale's work in Herzog's Rescue Dawn in The New Yorker. It sounds like he was very reckless with his safety on that movie...shot in Thailand on a shoestring budget. I was looking forward to seeing the movie in theaters, but apparently it came out directly on DVD, unfortunately. I want to acquire it.
Here's an interview with him about the movie:

I saw the Golden Compass when it was first released, but I didn't like it at all. Not because of the religious connotations it has, one way
or another. I happen to be agnostic, but I just thought it was boring and not interesting at all. I felt like I had wasted my time.
However on the similar topic, I didn't care for the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe either. I never read the book either, maybe it
was better, but the movie to me was just plain silly.

It was in theaters here, briefly. I kept trying to go, but missed it. Later, I saw it on DVD. I didn't love it, but I liked it.
I am a CB fan and don't think he's overrated. I've been dismayed by some of his real-life behavior, of course, but I usually don't hold that against actors onscreen (Mel Gibson being the only exception I can think of). I especially liked him in 3:10 to Yuma and The Prestige.
