Just witnessed the new 'Terminator Salvation' trailer and yes I said witnessed. From the first one all I knew was it was going to be future, world run by robots, and fighting (sound like a movie you know..cough, Matrix, cough). But in this trailer let's imagine the Matrix with less philosophy (by the way, I'm not bashing that, I actually only watch the Matrix for that) and just more Christian Bale and friends fighting robot killing machines. Christian Bale is good in all dark hero and villain roles and this is going to be another one. Think the new Batman movies, American Psycho, The Prestige and the prick rich boy in Shaft. He's another one of those actors like Jason Patric in Entourage who gets all wrapped up in his roles to the point your afraid he might confuse you for a robot and blow your head off at a set lunch break.
After all, I hope we all remember the hilarious TMZ clip with Christian Bale going off on his director of photography. Well if you don't...

(funniest thing "well it nourishing me so...") but I was originally in line with Peter Griffin with not understanding why we need another terminator, so it had a hype rating of 'maybe but not critical'. But seeing the new trailer with the action scenes with the motorcycles and the bridge scene and actually knowing Christian Bale thinks he's John Connor and he's fighting to save the world from the rest of the actors on set, I think we have to bump this up to 'Must See'. Midnight anyone?
I think there outta be some award, the Christian Bale Award, for guy who looks and acts completly different in movies than he does in real life. I swear if you see him on the street, you wouldn't even recognize the guy, and even better, if you talk to him on the street, you'll think he's psycho accent and all.

Sorta like guy who acts differently during a game of Halo, and then you meet him in person and he's a huge fatass with cheeto stains on his shirt.
