    If you had told me a handful of years ago that the guy who was hired on and fired from SNL in a matter of days would get the "With" credit in a movie about John Madden, starring Nicolas Cage, directed by the guy who made American Hustle, I would have assumed you were insane.

    George Clooney famously refuses to work with him again because he was so abusive. And this was when Clooney was transitioning to film from ER and wasn't yet a Star Star. And he apparently drove Amy Adams to tears on American Hustle. His reputation is pretty bad.

    When Bale's supposed to be the crazy guy, it's great (American Psycho, Vice, American Hustle). If he knows to play off someone else's batshit performance (Reign of Fire, 3:10 to Yuma, TDK), it's great. But he'll also give a batshit performance where none is required and ruin the movie.

    In fairness, microwaves went mainstream in the 1980s. Most people didn't have them in the ten years prior. There's a joke in the movie "American Hustle", taking place in 1978, about the lead character getting a $3,000 "Science Oven" as a bribe.

    HILARIOUS!! According to inside sources, his elaborate combover is exactly like Bales' in the movie, "American Hustle". Trump travels with a "patch kit". Balls of hair he glues to his head. He teases other sections then does the whole combover to hide his baldness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjDn...

    American Hustle features Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. The movie is based on the Abscam sting operation of the late ’70s and early ’80s, in which a con artist helped the FBI catch members of Congress taking bribes.

    American Hustle (2013). On paper, a good movie with solid performances, but I found it meandering + dull + heavy-handed (“look at how greed corrupts honest family men”). Also: most political thrillers. A very hard film genre to pull off without goofy departures from believability
