I blogged the following:
.1. Have just come back from seeing Batman Begins with Di and her Peej. Before the film began, we were discussing the dynamics between men and women, and the rules of flirtation. Somewhat thrown by the different perspectives (e.g. what a woman defines as a signal vs a man’s idea of a signal), I turned to Peej and asked “Why are you men so dense?” to which his ricochet was “Men are dense because women think they’re being obvious.”
What a great response! Missed opportunities?
I laughed …right before I scribbled down his words.
.2. Re Batman, film was good and story well spun. Christian Bale is one of the finest actors of this generation, and I apologize ahead of time as in the coming paragraph will objectify him.
I rarely find men in full suits appealing, preferring them in either: (a) Matching jacket / pants, unbuttoned tapered (not over-sized and sloppy) shirt; or, (b) Perfect is a man with scruffy beard and messy hair (but clean) in either cargo pants or jeans. I lean toward the rugged rather than slick, but as I watched the movie, found myself thinking: Christian Bale gives good suit.
No one can wear a suit like him, and I think seeing him will forever be a throw back to American Psycho.
Mind you, he didn’t look so bad wearing only bruises and sunshine…
And I am today writing to reiterate my love of Christian Bale in a suit.
Because no one. And I mean: NOT ONE MAN can wear a suit like Christian Bale. The man gives good suit. In fact, he gives best suit.
So much so that I’m nearly jumping out of my skin at the prospect of him repeatedly giving this best of suit in three days’ time. I have seen the previews for The Dark Knight and I have been witness to the perfection that is Bale in more suits and. Honestly? My teeth rattle.
Meep.
Best. Outfit. Ever?
Black pin-striped dress pants and matching blazer. Simple white button down undone at the neck.
Jeesus, I’m deprived.
I can’t wait to see Bale!
But frankly, why do I love him so much?
Because I love the way he loves his wife. I love the way he adores his wife – because you can tell that he doesn’t just love her (yes: I used the words ‘just love her’), he actually likes her. And that, my friends, is what makes all of the difference in the long run. (Anyone disagree?)
LOVE HIM.
