THE BAT SPAM
Jul. 29th, 2007 04:08 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sophieisgodWow, a post unreleated to Harry Potter. Is it too soon? It feels too soon. Anyway, Batman Begins has rather a lot of Gary Oldman in, so that kind of counts, doesn't it?
So, the son of a Gotham billionare falls down a well...
And gets attacked by bats. Hee.
But it's okay, because in the future he looks like Christian Bale!
Unfortunately, he appears to be in some sort of Far Eastern prison...
He makes friends by totally kicking the shit out of six guys at once. And by 'makes friends', I mean 'gets himself locked in solitary confinement'.
But what's this? It's Liam Neeson! Liam Neeson sets Christian Bale a mysterious flower-based challenge.
After manfully completing his mysterious flower-based challenge, I'm pretty sure Christian Bale was expecting a better prize than a fellow with an odd beard.
Flashback! Young Boy with his parents (is his mum Stella from Sugar Rush?) looking all happy. That won't last...
Told you.
But, y'know, silver linings. Now he gets to have Gary Oldman put a coat around him and touch his face.
Okay, so now we're in the future, but not as far in the future as we were before. In this timeframe, Christian Bale has silly hair like Robert Sean Leonard in Much Ado About Nothing, mmkay?
This is Katie Holmes. She is invariably self-righteous and makes annoying faces. Thankfully, in The Dark Knight, she will be played by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Annoying face!
Meanwhile, in the future, Christian Bale is totally a better ninja than Liam Neeson.
But then, he finds out The Bearded Man is evil! And blows up the House Of Ninja Learning!
So, he gets on a plane and formulates a Plan.
Because Michael Caine is awesome, he is allowed to make these faces. Katie Holmes, however, is definitely not.
She does not appear to have received this memo.
Even Cillian Murphy recognises how annoying she is, and he is clearly psychotic.
While he begins to implement his Plan, Christian Bale pines for Gary Oldman.
He also enlists the help of Morgan Freeman, because everything is better with Morgan Freeman on board.
"Spelunking." Hee.
Meanwhile, Gary Oldman is feeling blue, because his partner is Gross and Disgusting.
Unable to be parted from Gary Oldman for a moment longer, Christian Bale takes matters into his own hands...
He ensures that his chosen balaclava maximises the impact of his pout.
When this fails to ensare Gary Oldman, Christian Bale resorts to incresingly desperate measures...
He also punishes Gross Disgusting Partner Guy for not being worthy of Gary Oldman.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, Katie Holmes is still annoying and Cillian Murphy is still psychotic.
"I gotta get me one of those!" HERE IS YOUR CLUE, CHRISTIAN BALE!
Meanwhile, the plot has been happening, and it turns out Liam Neeson was the evil one all along! And he totally burns down Christian Bale's house!
Christian Bale finally realises that the way to win Gary Oldman's heart is to give him the keys to the Batmobile. And then Gary Oldman totally saves the day. Because he is AWESOME.
Christian Bale finaly earns the Gary Oldman Wave Of Approval.
Katie Holmes is annoying some more.
And finally, Christian Bale ends this journey the way he always dreamed he would: alone on a rooftop with Gary Oldman.
Cunningly, he has also managed to ensure that he'll get to spend even more time with Gary Oldman in the next film...
Ahh, gratuitous manly goodness...

I'll just take this moment to apologise for turning Batman Begins into One Man's Quest To Spend Time With Gary Oldman. I guess I'm not quite over Harry Potter yet...

Mmm, Cillian.

Thanks for the picspam! Eye-candy, mmmmm =D
I really need to see Gary Oldman in a film that's not Harry Potter.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 05:29 pm (UTC)The eye-candy is the only thing that will help us through these hard, painful times. Let us cling to it as to a lifebelt.
Oh lord, see State Of Grace. It has Gary and Sean Penn and it's the film that all the youtube people take clips from when they use Penn to represent James! He's so Siriuslike in it, all volatile and long hair and NUZZLING PEOPLE'S NECKS.

BALE-UUUTIFUL!!

Bat Heaven sounds like a wonderful place...

no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 07:39 pm (UTC)And it's not my fault! The universe is conspiring against me! I wasn't expecting him to be sexy in OotP! I didn't know Film4 was showing Prick Up Your Ears practically every night! I didn't realise he was in Batman Begins so much until I started capping it! And fair enough, nobody made me use my mother's amazon account to get State Of Grace (which you have to see, btw, he's very young!Sirius in it) and Leon, but still.
It's a very emotional time, Li!

I watched this film only for the Bale!!!
I have no interest in the Batman franchise. It's only by accident that I liked the film inbetween my Bale-induced trances.
THEN I moved onto The Prestige, just for more extra Bale-y goodness... IN WHICH HE DOES A COCKNEY ACCENT AND IS SNARKY AND CHARMING AND CLEVER... all in the 19th century!!!
Oh Christian...

Date: 2007-07-29 11:27 pm (UTC)AHH, THE PRESTIGE! I cried both times I saw it, but more the second time, because of all the scenes where the twin thing was significant!

Also, Gary Oldman was quite sexy is that latest HP movie ;) (And sorry for the double comment, does it help if I say me speak very bad english ? :))

LOL! So true.
I can't wait for the next one. (Batman movie OR picspam, whichever!)
no subject
Date: 2007-07-31 12:30 am (UTC)Cillian Murphy is lovably psychotic in practically everything! It's his eyes, I think. They are so perfect as to be almost evil. And I heart your icon, both for the angst and the see-through shirt.
And RSL can be forgiven because Much Ado was like 1993, but BB hair people? Shame on you. Although Christian works it nonetheless. Because he is better than the flopsy hair.
I've got a bit of time on my hands, so I'm trying to come up with some more picspam ideas. I quite fancy doing some HP, but I might wait for the OotP DVD, so as to maximise the lust-inducing material (and doorway/cardigan opportunities). I think I'm leaning towards History Boys, which is tricky, because most of the plot is classroom based, but rewarding, because phnar... Any ideas?
