“Mr. Bale, why so serious?” and other questions you can ask The Dark Knight…

Tags: , ,

Batman returns to the big screen and this time toppling not only his most feared nemesis the Joker, but even Spider-Man as well.  “The Dark Knight” set a one-day box office record with US$66.4 million on opening day and also took in a record US$155.34 million in its first weekend, surpassing the previous best of US$151.1 million for “Spider-Man 3” in May 2007.

In “The Dark Knight,” actor Christian Bale brings to life Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, who’s fighting against the fearful Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll see Batman in a dilemma to cross the thin line between good and evil like never before…

As “The Dark Knight” invades theaters everywhere, he also makes an appearance here in Yahoo! Answers!  The Answers Team in UK & Ireland brings this rare opportunity to us by asking the Answers community what the perfect question is for Christian Bale!  The best question will be put to Mr. Bale by Yahoo!, on your behalf, and recorded on video.

The Philippines lost one of its exciting and recognized personalities last June 7, 2008 when movie star Rudy “Daboy” Fernandez succumbed to periampullary cancer in his home in White Plains, Quezon City. Daboy, as he is fondly called in the movie industry, was only 56 years old and is survived by his wife, actress Lorna Tolentino, their two sons, and the eldest son (with actress-politician Alma Moreno), actor Mark Anthony Fernandez.

A multi-awarded actor and producer, Rudy Fernandez made his film debut when he was only three years old, appearing in the film “Luksang Tagumpay” (1956) which was directed by his father, actor-director Gregorio Fernandez. He later became active in the film industry while in college, appearing in various teenage parts but it was the film “Bitayin si Baby Ama” (1976) that catapulted him to stardom and in the action movie genre. Known for portraying true-to-life characters, he won two FAMAS Best Actor awards for the action films “”Batuigas…Pasukuin si Waway” in 1984 and “Victor Corpuz” in 1988. Also, he received the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) 2008 Ulirang Artista Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th Star Awards for Movies and the Film Academy of the Philippines FPJ Lifetime Achievement Award.

Many Pinoys mourned the death of Daboy who is indeed a great loss to the Philippine movie industry. He became famous as an action star but is more importantly remembered by his family and loved-ones as a loving husband, a devoted father and an outstanding friend. As a tribute to him, we ask the Pinoy Answers Community to share their thoughts and memories of Daboy where we all saw him first and where we will always see him – in his movies.
