"Is it possible to be pedantic about ice cream?"

My friend [personal profile] ldhenson has been sewing the most amazing and adorable things recently.  A bat, a dragon, a Batarang, and a Cornetto ice cream.  I can't decide which I like best!

Let me show you them.

Christian Bale?!?!? Was the lead?

That was my reaction, too. "What? He...what?!" And the only reason I saw it is that I became a bit of a Bale fan after Batman Begins (another movie my friends had to drag me to; I'm beginning to think they know more about what movies I'll like than I do). Newsies isn't really my type of movie, but the period setting grabbed me.

I came to M&C (and thus met [livejournal.com profile] grace_poppy) by way of Russell Crowe, whom I've been a fan of for a long time. The setting helped, too, as I also like Sharpe and Hornblower. I've read the first couple books, and it's only lack of time that keeps me from getting deeper into it.

I forgot Christian Bale was in Newsies! Was he also in Swing Kids? Or was that Ethan Hawk? And/or Dead Poets Society? I get all those guys mixed up. Usually it's "Christian Bale, or that other guy who isn't Christian Bale."

I just saw Christian Bale in 'Empire of the Sun' for the first time since I was old enough to appreciate it, and he was so good for a little youngster!!

Oh, I forgot he was the "boy" in Henry V too! (And I just looked him up and saw that he was indeed in Swing Kids, but it was Ethan Hawke in Dead Poets Society.)

He amazes me in Empire of the Sun. It's a hard movie to sit through at my age, let alone make the movie at the age he was then.

I've also never been able to get all the way through Swing Kids, the presence of CB and Robert Sean Leonard notwithstanding. I have an interest in WWII, but I'm also a bit of a wuss.

Watch out... when you finally get going with them, you won't be able to stop! *G*
