Christian Bale, a longtime heart-throb in my book, is utterly amazing as Batman. Everyone knows this.
But Christian Bale and I go wayyyyyy back. We go back to 1992 when Disney released the wonderful Newsies - a musical about newsboys forming a union and fighting the powers that be.
There's really no way for a movie to be better to me than Newsies:
- Newsies stars Christian Bale, David Moscow and Max Casella - tons of charming young men.
- Newsboys wear awesome hats and interesting suspenders.
- Unions are powerful agents for the greater good. As a union supporter I get teary seeing the Newsies unite. "We're a union just by saying so!"
- Best songs ever.
- Best Christian Bale dancing ever!
- Idiotic but easily ignored love storyline.
- Smart songs, clever story and wisdom! "When you got a million voices singing, who can hear a lousy whistle blow?"
Newsies: We need a good assassination, we need an earthquake or a war...I read that Christian Bale doesn't love Newsies anymore, but that's just talk. After all, headlines don't sell papes, Newsies sell papes.
Newsie Kid: How 'bout a crooked politician?
Newsies: Hey, stupid, that ain't news no more!

*heart throb and swoon* He was also in Empire of the Sun as a little guy in 1987, and he also played Jesus (Hottest Jesus if you ask me) And little women..
*sigh* Sorry. this post made my day. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale have been like my life long crushes! This movie was the pinnacle of all of my childhood crushes!
