    It's funny how we make conclusion about people with about 3-4 minutes of tape...everyone has lost it on someone at some point in time.....I guess society likes it's quick fix on negativity......its a sick drug, I guess it makes up for peoples own issues.............with that said, it was very entertaining :D .

    i just got around to hearing it. that was great!

    did anyone catch christian say it was the second time this guy did something like that?

    if a guy who belongs on set does stuff like that during a scene...or just does not have a clue what is going on while he is doing something...then maybe he deserved to get chewed out like that.

    obviously, christian was quite pissed off. they should have filmed that and put it in the film. lol. i would put it in the film and make it look like he is chewing out a fellow soldier for doing something really stupid a second time in the war against the machines that could have gotten them all killed. never mind that you have to explain the set and film crew in the background! Private Dipsh_t here needs to learn a lesson!

    "You and I are done professionally, man!" :D

    Unfortunately problems don't get solved peacefully all the time, and a lot of times its for things that are much smaller. Pretty much everyone has a breaking point, unfortunately for Bale it was caught all on audio.

    I'm not saying he didn't overreact but people freak out all the time, this isn't that big of a deal IMO.

    I don't think any less of Bale over this. Abusing his family would though.

    Dude,

    Bale would have beaten this dude to a pulp, we're talking some photography guy vs Batman/American Pyscho/John Connor

    Sounded plausibly justifiable to me.

    Know why? I wasn't there. I can't see what happened. So it's like half of the story.


    I don't get the people here thinking they are the high and mighty ones.




    And you all know me. But I ain't perfect either... I wouldn't do that, at least I hope I wouldn't ever do that, but goodness... Bale has a different life than I do. He works a different line... entirely. So, as I might go off on a tangent in another way, he goes that way. He's around that world all the time.

    You think Hollywood... R rated Hollywood is all daisies and daffodils?

    Pshhh... please.


    Terminator ain't exactly Mr. Rodgers either. And if Bale is that method, then hey... sounds about right. The articles I read said it was during the most passionate or intense scene as well.


    I get that.


    I don't act like it... but I get it.


    To whoever it was that mentioned something like "actors lie to us, it's what they do," we see it very similarly.


    Oh... and Sean Connery is funny too. I wouldn't ever hit my wife though. But again, I'm not Sean Connery. ;)

    What a douche. There is a fine line between excessive and moderate. A person can get their point across with out threatening.

    Posted over at aintitcoolnews.com - just as an FYI to the story...

    Link: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/39984


    "Why AICN Doesn't Post Links To Stories Like This Christian Bale thing that's everywhere!

    Hey folks, Harry here... I'm getting slammed with assloads of people angry at me for not posting the Bale explosion from the set of McG's TERMINATOR: SALVATION. Well, first off - there's a real simple reason. It isn't news. And it certainly isn't cool news. It is a moment in a man's life taken completely out of context and most likely leaked to personally embarrass Christian Bale.

    Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking... There's no excuse for a temper tantrum like that to ever occur and if you are going to act that way, you deserve to be embarrassed by your own actions.

    Except, you want to hear the REALITY behind that clip?

    I know this because I happen to be somewhere where someone that was there that day and for the shoot is. And this person isn't a publicist, nor are they invested in Bale's career. They're just someone that thinks it is absolute bull**** that this moment in Bale's life is being aired and that the real story should get out there.

    The DP on TERMINATOR SALVATION, Shane Hurlbut, is a apparently a light tweaker. He's a fairly young DP and likes to fiddle with his lights on set during action, which is a big "NO NO" on most productions unless worked out in advance with performers. But apparently Shane was a pretty unrepentant light tweaker.

    The scene in question, was a very emotional and tough scene between Christian Bale and Bryce Howard. A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration. The sort of scene where everyone on set knows not to get in anyone's eye lines, and definitely not to move lights around while FILMING. You lock that **** down before the scene starts.

    Bale had indeed warned the DP on multiple occasions about messing with lights while the cameras were rolling, and Bale was in the midst of a painful scene with Bryce, what was described to me as being the emotional center of the film and his character for the film.

    Now, the reason I know all of this is because the person that was there, felt that it should be made perfectly clear that Christian Bale was the utmost gentleman and cool guy on set. And the DP really was doing something that professional DPs with experience just don't do. Not during a performance.

    You don't need me to give you a link, it's all over the internet, I just felt that you should know what really went down - and that this particular outburst did indeed modify the DP's behavior - and for future DPs. **** with the lights before and after your actors are acting. Not during.


    I stay out of the 'personal gossip' arena because frankly... can you imagine your personal **** aired for all to see. None of us are perfect, and certainly we have all sinned to some degree. Actors, Actresses, Celebrities and the people exploited on sites like TMZ. They're human beings that I personally feel are owed the same inalienable rights that the rest of us hold dear.

    Can you imagine cameras documenting your every attempted private moment. This moment was something that occurred in the heat of a moment on set between professionals. The audio is so clear on Christian, that it's obvious a mike was on him or a foot and a half above him. These are the sorts of moments that are private affairs. Yet somehow, because he's an actor. We feel it's permissable to air his dirty laundry. It isn't our business. It isn't anybody's ****ing business. Will this affect TERMINATOR SALVATION? Will this give us insight into his character? Only because I found some details out, do we know it was in the midst of a scene between him and Bryce Howard. But that's accidental... and certainly hasn't been revealed by CNN or any other media, because they just run the clip with BEEPS. Is it funny? I suppose it may be. It allows regular people to laugh, point fingers and call someone other than themselves an *******. But frankly, I find it disgusting. It's the exact thing that I made AICN to not be about. I wrote this, not to create an endless TALKBACK, but to express my opinion on the spreading of stories like this and making Christian look bad, when he isn't."

    The person that leaked this audio and the person that leaked the shot of Michael Phelps need to get together and...well...take a leak on each other. Poopers may be involved.

    This particular case is like leaking audio of a head coach in a lockerroom chewing out his players at halftime for a lackluster effort. It's not meant to be recorded and leaked to the public (albeit I would love to see a player record one of those chewing outs and put it out there for all to hear...lol).

    So, to the leaky douchebags, this Bud isn't for you. Go drink some piss.

    Good for Bale. From what I've seen and read, Bale rally gets into character. He takes his work seriously. If you are that passionate about your work and some dumbass comes in and screw you up, after being warned, you're fair game.

    Too many sensitive people in here.

    McG is a joke of a director.

    Bale is probably having to do most of the work himself.

    Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but I can't envision any circumstance in which I feel it's okay to throw a childish tantrum like that. It is possible to express oneself without being an arsehole.
