The Machinist

I don't know how many of you know about this film, but I just saw the trailer and it looks pretty cool. Christian Bale plays a lathe operator who is dying from insomnia, and the movie gets crazier from there...

I for one am going to see this...

How the fuck should I know probably!
Why? Because it's a brilliant film, it's so funny, and the soundtrack kicks fucking ass!

Bale lost over 1/3 of his body weight for this movie. He looks vaccu-formed in the trailers

I heard somewhere that he weighs more for Batman than he did before The Machinist. That's fucking crazy

if you like Bale (and i do .. fine actor) here are 2 very different films to check out.

Empire of the Sun : its a Speilberg film about a british boy who ends up in a Japanese concentration camp in WWII. Great film

Equilibrium : a futuristic film that is a combination of Brave New World and Farenheit 451 with a bit of Matrix thrown in.
It's influenced by these things but its a completely unique film.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone here.
Its relatively unknown .. it slipped through the radar somehow - but it blew me away when i saw it.


Bale was also the racist asshole badguy in the Shaft remake a few years back.
