dark knight



i think i started to get a crush on him when i first saw "empire of the sun". he was so young then and it wasn't a sexual desire, it was a fraternal one. that morphed a bit when i saw "little women" with susan sarandon and wynona ryder. he was so goofy and with such a peaches and cream complexion. but he looked a tad more kissable. when "american psycho" hit the screen, i knew i was hooked. so imagine my disdain when i read the news of his unfortunate scandal with the english press.

the following article is from college candy and i am drawn to it's tone:

Because no one in the CC office wants to believe that Christian Bale is the type of guy who would flip out at his sister and mother randomly, we’ve been following this story every step of the way (I mean, it’s a matter of possibly kicking him out of our fantasises forever…it’s important). Here’s what we’ve learned this morning:

1) His mother used to be a clown. Legitimately.
2) He may or may not have a short temper (which may be due to the fact that he plays tortured dudes all the time)
3) His sis allegedly asked him for a loan of 100,000 pounds (roughly $200,200), and he said no
4) His mom allegedly insulted his wife, and Bale went all “Oh no you DIDN’T!” on her ass
5) Bale’s family “never wanted to ruin his night” but felt they needed to “teach him a lesson”

Aside from saying what he had for breakfast the day of the blow up, reporters are doing their best to dig through Bale’s past and find some deep, dark poison in his soul or something. Our hypothesis? The guy has a bad temper, has been stressed out for a while, had a giant fight with the fam, and because he’s a celebrity that “row” turned into some kind of Battlestar Galactica implosion in the media.

So yeah, Beautiful Bale isn’t out of our fantasies yet…we just may reconsider challenging him to a rousing game of Battleship…because that sh*t gets heated.


i had been holding on to the following clip for awhile. the sounds are very much aligned with part of my dance hall days, but i thought it was a little apropos for this post if i give it a battling superhero theme. i love this cut, and it definitely heralded in the diversity that was exploding onto dance floors across our nation reflecting the social change that was taking place. rap music was quickly morphing into hip-hop and racial borders were being redrawn at every turn.

java- your sproing will certainly love this one, too.....

now, on to the work week

Anyone who has a clown for a mother gets a pass from me. He probably was having flashbacks all through the filming The Dark Knight. How could he look at the Joker and not think about his mother?
I really, really, hate clowns. I think they should be outlawed, for giving sensitive children nightmares. Them and ventriloquist dummies. Horrible creations both.

it's too bad that people keep bothering Christian Bale about these rumors, he seems like a solid guy in general

I don't believe that Christian Bale did anything wrong; I just refuse to believe it. I saw Dark Knight this past weekend and I'm certain that he was feeling stressed and tortured and lost it when he discovered that his mom was once the Joker's lover. Thanks for the picture, I need a little eye candy sometimes.
