INT. PASTELS RESTAURANT- NIGHT

An insanely expensive restaurant on the Upper East Side.
The decor is a mixture of chi-chi and rustic, with swagged
silk curtains, handwritten menus and pale pink tablecloths
decorated with arrangements of moss, twigs and hideous
exotic flowers. The clientele is young, wealthy and
confident, dressed in the height of late-eighties style:
pouffy Lacroix dresses, slinky Alaïa, Armani power suits.

CLOSE-UP on a WAITER reading out the specials.

WAITER
With goat cheese...

So, this is an article which I hope will get responsive articles, because I’m really quite interested in how most Baleheads stumble across Christian Bale.

In my case, the first film which I watched which he was in was Treasure Island. My mum had taped it off the television, and I was only a tiny little tacker, but it was love at first sight. Yes, Christian Bale was my first crush. Even now, many years later, I am still impressed by his incredible acting prowess at the age of sixteen. Every time the camera turned to him, he managed to completely own the entire screen, a shining star against...

So that's what they call a family?
Mudder, fadder, daughter, son
Guess everything you heard about is true.
So you ain't got any family
Well, who said you needed one?
Ain'tcha glad nobody's waiting up for you?
When I dream on my own
I'm alone, but I ain't lonely
For a dreamer, night's the only time of day
When the city's finally sleeping
When my thoughts begin to stray
And I'm on the train that bound for
Santa Fe
And I'm free
Like the wind
Like I’m gonna live forever
It's a feeling time can never take away
All I need’s a few more dollars
And I'm outta here to stay
Dreams come true
Yes they do
In Santa Fe...

Christian Bale: Hot or Not?
By Ted Berg

Christian Bale’s beauty cannot be put into words, but I will try.

That which does not kill Christian Bale only makes him hotter.

Before I expound, let me state for the record that I am a fiercely heterosexual man. I have engaged one woman to marry me and spend every morning on the subway attempting to engage several others in mutual eye contact. And it’s not because I am in any way nefarious. I am loyal; I just want women to acknowledge me in some small way because I find them mesmerizing. Achingly beautiful.

Just not quite as beautiful as Christian Bale....
