Such a glorious ass chewing!

:clap

I dont know if the guy deserved it or not, but Bale really shines!
 
that's some pretty funny ^^^^e. they both deserve it. the dude shouldn't have walked around while filming and bale shouldn't have gone as crazy as he did. i can understand if i was taking some photos of my figures, get the pose perfect, lighting perfect and then some ****** bumps into my table knocking it over. :p

:lol

You want me to trash your ^^^^ing dolls!? Huh!?
 
Wow, I never knew that Christian Bale was such an ###hole. The guy on his camera set made an unconsious mistake -- Bale ripping into him in such a manner was totally uncalled for. I mean, how hard would it have been for Bale to just take another cut of the scene?
 
From what I've read, the scene they were shooting when this happened was the big emotional scene of the film. I imagine when we see the film and see the scene and try to imagine how deeply focused he may have been trying to get it right, he probably was in a very fragile state of mind where anything breaking him out of his focus could set him off and after already doing it, the DP did it again and he just snapped. It doesn't justify the actions, but certainly it can help you understand why what happened happened and all. He's a human being, even the best of us do some bad ^^^^ once in a while. I'd imagine if Bale was a jerk all the time, crews wouldn't want to work with him and Nolan loves working with him certainly. Not saying he's a saint, just saying he's not necessarily the ^^^^^^^ people think he is just because of this once incident.

Well, I'm not going to even try and justify Bale's action. A "big emotional scene" - so what? It sounds to me like his people are trying to do damage control, and make excuses, since his little tirade went public.

Alec Baldwin, Christian Bale... Hollywood is full of pompous pricks.
 
:lol That dance remix is so epic it makes Bale's revealed aholeness totally worth it. :lol

I downloaded the MP3 off the guy's Twitter link and this is already on my iPod. :lol
 
Christian Bale's Former Assistant Sets the Record Straight. Read the following.

Christian Bale's former personal assistant spoke out exclusively to INSIDE EDITION about the star's explosive temper.

Bale's shocking tirade on the set of his new movie Terminator Salvation comes as no surprise to Harrison Cheung. He worked for the actor for nine years and says they were once close friends.

According to Cheung, "I think [Bale] can be extremely hot-headed. You know, he's over 6'1" and he could be very intimidating."

Cheung is a self-described computer geek who first entered Bale's life in 1994, when he sent a fan letter and then set up his official website.

Before long, he was doing everything for the actor, until they had a falling out and parted ways in 2003.

"Christian is a very prickly professionalist," he says.

The former assistant says Bale developed a reputation for bad behavior on movie sets. What really set him off, Cheung says, were disruptions when he was preparing to shoot a scene. This explanation seems right on par with what appears to have happened before his shocking just released profanity-laced tirade.

Cheung says, "He was always very deep in thought and he didn't want to be disturbed…if he heard any unusual noises or if someone asked him to move around too many times, you could tell he was getting irritated. The big 'Do Not Disturb' sign was on his forehead."

Now an IBM computer consultant, Cheung says he's coming forward to set the record straight about the star he used to work for. So does Cheung fear that talking to INSIDE EDITION will be seen as a betrayal to the actor? "I've been loyal to Christian for a long time, and when he and I worked together I kept that trust. I no longer work with him so it's a different situation now."

Ahh ^^^^ that guy! He's just looking for his 2 minutes of fame.:rolleyes:
 
How can he set the Record straight when he hasn't work for the guy for 6 years and obviously was not at the Movie set!:monkey4:monkey4:monkey4:monkey4
 
I love how judgmental everyone gets over this kind of stuff, and I don't mean just here on this board. All of a sudden everyone is holier than thou and above making such mistakes in their own lives. The guy had a moment in a stressful bit of work.

I suppose no one else has ever had an argument with anyone in their lives before. Never argued with a significant other? Never argued with your parents? Never argued with a friend, sibling, co-worker? And I'm sure in your own case it was always justified and never went on for a few minutes too long over something that seemed ridiculous upon your own self reflection once you've cooled down. Oh, but it wasn't in a professional environment - that makes it so much better. It's easy to judge someone when you don't know them and weren't actually there isn't it? How fickle.

That's my tirade. :monkey3

Christian Bale is still a bad ass actor in my book - rant or not.

Who is saying he's not? Who here has claimed to walk away from his work from all of this?

Exactly!!! It's really amazing to me how many of us here quickly judge Bale on a 3 minute rant without knowing exactly what was going on. Was anyone there there when it happened? All of a sudden he's an a$$hole and hated by all??!!! Personally, I don't give a ^^^^^ if he went off on someone or not. I'm sure many of my favorite actors have exploded on or off the set at one time or another. They're human just like us. Who here hasn't acted like an a$$hole once or twice? Hmm?
