I sure as hell do.

Matrix, Batman, that other Bale movie I just watched a couple weeks ago, Johnny Mnemonic, whatever it is - there comes a point in the movie that I think "Wow, Reeves is really wooden" and then remember, "Oh, yeah, this is Christian Bale" or "Wow, Bale is really wooden" and then remember, "Oh, yeah, this is Keanu Reeves".

Had the same feeling in both of Bale's Batman movies - both of which I liked, but Jesus, I want my Batman serious, but not like a stick of petrified wood.

Now if I could just remember the movie I watched - it was a movie set in the future where people weren't allowed to express emotion any more and Bale played one of the police guys who executed the feelers.

3. Funny that the word "mnemonic" is hard to remember...

I think most people called it "Johnny Moronic" actually.

4. Have you seen "Rescue Dawn"?

I guarantee Keanu Reeves would never appear in something like that.

5. Bale is cute and a better actor.

Apparently he is an asshole though. Or so they say.

7. Neither does it for me but I distinguish the two because Bale can

act, sorta, while Reeves is a huge joke. I've always wondered who he's related to because he is horrible on screen and he really isn't that spectacular visually.
