UPDATE: I finally get around to bitching about the new director choice for the Bond franchise in the wake of Casino Royale's big splash.

Reel Talk Jeffrey Lyons interview with Christian Bale. I find this so uncomfortable. I don't know. I just think it's weird hearing "Werner Herzog" coming out of Lyons' mouth. But I do like how bats*** crazy Christian Bale is: the maggots he eats in Rescue Dawn. He chose to do that for the scene. It can't be confirmed but it's possible that Bale is just as looney as Herzog, god bless. Even if you don't make bizarre demands of Christian, he'll make them of himself. I also love this part when asked if he'll work with director Chris Nolan for a fourth time:

It'd be great. He's a fantastic director. We work together real well but, you know, I don't know if he's getting a bit sick of looking at my face up there.

Oh Christian... who could ever get sick of looking at your face on the big screen?
