Me likey

Wow, I can't believe they movie about a buzzfeed rip-off

[Clovis]

That was my first thought until I watched it - I assumed it was a documentary about Cheney from VICE, although I don't think VICE are all that similar to Buzzfeed except in the sense they're both left-leaning.

If anybody hasn't seen The Big Short, it's great. It's both a surprisingly accurate portrayal of how the sub-prime mortgage crisis unfolded and pretty damn funny. I will keep my fingers crossed that this will be as good.

That's Christian Bale? He's literally unrecognisable,that's incredible.

I am astounded Dick Cheney is still alive, when Bush left office he had one of the lowest approval ratings of any politician in US history, 13%.

I'm guessing that film used some CGI, but he apparently lost an absurd amount of weight. He's a crazy dedicated actor.

[Borealis]

According to the DVD commentary, he lost 62 pounds (28 kg), reducing his body mass to 120 pounds (54 kg). Bale wanted to go down to 99 pounds (45 kg), but the filmmakers would not let him due to health
concerns. In fact, the weight that the 6 ft 0 inch (183 cm) Bale dropped down to was actually intended to be for a much shorter actor, but Bale insisted on seeing if he could make it anyway.[6] At the end of filming he
was left with just six months to regain the mass to be ready for his role in Batman Begins, which he achieved through weightlifting and bingeing on pizzas and ice cream.

I love how, no matter what, if extremly thin or big ass fat as fuck, Christian always likes to show off his body, as the achievment it is to reach that weight goal.

I think the dude went back to being skinny after this role which i would say its nuts, but he mastered that art already.

having billions of dollars literally extends your life, kind of crazy how that works

Satan keeps Cheney alive

[halfer]

Thought Bush was played by Dana Carvey at first

[OvB]

I'm convinced Christian Bale is a shape shifter.

That or he does not feel hunger or appetite.
