Christian Bale Goes Batsh*t!
 

Check it

Quite possibly the greatest rant ever.

I love Bale.

News that matters,

This just makes me uncomfortable.

You can hear his English accent a bit more when he's pissed. :D

Man....that Director of Photography must have really screwed up.

That's beautiful. Bale is the man.

Distracting Christian Bale during a scene is apparently not a smart move. That DP may have trouble finding work from now on. I'd say Bale overreacted a bit, but on a production that expensive, every take is extremely important.

Wow... He really loves the F word there.... :o

Damn, I bet that guy was scared. For a minute I thought he was gonna get an axe to the face.

This was funny, I'm not gonna lie, Bale's probably one of my top favorite actors, he can really do nothing for me not to like him.

This happens ALL the time on sets! The DP screwed up big time!

Some actors you can't even look at let alone f#$% up like that!

Seriously?...I'm surprised at some of these posts. Christian bale is good at the whole acting thing, but what a ****in clip. That guy really needs to get a grip.

LMFAO at this one. Sounds like maybe he's not getting none at home and taking out on the DP. I don't know, he sounded like a child having a tantrum or something. Good thing I wasn't on that set, I'd probably PO Christian even more with my uncontrolled laughter. But then again, when I laugh at people who are angry, it gets contagious, and they end up laughing too!

This. I like Bale as much as the next guy, but he has no right to talk to the DP like that. I don't give a f*ck who you are or what the circumstances are, flying off the handle like that is rude and unprofessional. Keep your ego in check, Christian.

Fortunately, I've never had any particular interest in the guy outside of his movies, so I can safely say this does nothing to alter my perception of him.

Christian Bale's Tirade: The Dance Remix. :P
WARNING: F-Bombs abound.

I dunno, the DP should know not to make mistakes like that, let alone twice.

The bomb looses its luster after about the 35th time he says it. :lol:

Batman loves his sputtering wet F-Bombs. That made my day.

See, had this been the set of The Machinist? Bale would have had his ass kicked.

That's no excuse. Can you imagine someone acting like this in a regular workplace?

That remix is f*cking amazing though. :lol:

Darn it, I was hoping to post this first... :'(

Ahh well, this is obviously a build up of stress, the guy must be a parallel Bear Grylls!!! :O

:lol: People act like that at my job a lot, actually...

That was great. The dance remix just made it transcendent. That should be my theme music every time I walk into a room.

Oh, and my fiancee says that's exactly what I sound like when I'm mad. Should I be scared because it's just mean to people, or proud because I share something with Christian Bale? GK, what's your angle? I trust you.

Ah Youtube. How could we ever live without saying how terrible it is when a celebrity goes ape scat and then watching a Youtube Poop of the same thing coming out of Mama Luigi's mouth?

I don't blame him for losing it... but the fact that he went on for four minutes like that makes him a major league asshole. That and the fact that the dp hardly defended himself.

Christian Bale is a diva now. :P

Well, at least he called him a nice guy at one point.

I thought the best part was one of the guy's names was Bruce. What a weird coincidence for Bruce Wayne. :roll:

That guy deserves it. Productions are expensive and when I'm on set I want to work. When stuff is getting messed up because someones being a retard I get pissed too.

Ugh... I'm with Hannah. This is just plain unnerving for me. And that's just me listining to a few seconds of the stuff.

Although it probably has something to do with the parents within listening range down the hallway...

Yes. I know I've done it. If you've got **** to do, you don't want someone constantly f*cking up, slowing you down, and, in most cases, effecting your quality of work. I've actually decked a co-worker for interfering with my work on an extremely stressful day. I don't blame Bale at all.

Sure, but the guy made a mistake, and apologised for it. There's no need to scream and cuss at him for several minutes and (from what it sounds like) attempt to physically assault him while he makes no attempt to defend himself.

I think the person who f*cked up the most here is actually neither Bale nor the DP, but the director who should have kept them both in check.

No, the guy who fu*ked up the most is the asshole who kept the recording equipment going and posted this whole thing on the internet. :lol:

Actually no. For one 90% of the time directors are just hired by the producers. In this case I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Since it's not the directors vision as much as it would have been if they wrote it themselves or had more of a hand in the pre-production then it's just a job to them.

One huge part of a directors job is to keep the actors happy. If your actor is pissed off you can't do the scene, if it's the lead actor of the whole movie your even more screwed. You have a shot list and a schedule you must meet. If your lead gets mad you can't just go "Oh well we can just do another scene till he gets over it."

DP is a rather high up position and if this guys worked on as many movies as he'd have to get into that position then he should well know that during shooting time you shouldn't be marching around behind the camera. Even if your trying to set up the next shot that can wait till the actors done.

I agree, with all the time and money that gets wasted during the production of a film these days, there ain't time for people to be d*ckin' around.

Plus, I've been known to berate people for over an hour, so I'd be a huge hypocrite to say anything bad about Bale for this. And yes, it is very hard to make people sit still that long. As it is, I'm surprised this guy didn't cry. I seriously thought you'd hear Bale smacking him in the head at some point. That's all that was missing, seriously...

Bale: "What don't you f*cking understand?!?! (THWACK) Are you a professional or what?! (THWACK POW)"

DP (sobbing): "Im SORRY! I'm so, SO sorry!!"

Bale: "Don't just be sorry! (WAM) THINK, you f*cking f*ckity f*ck!!! (POW)

DP: "I'm SORRY, I swear to god..."

Bale: "SWEAR TO ME!!!! (Snaps his neck)"

New rule: If assh*les like Nicole Ritchie can get high and drive 90mph the wrong way down a one-way street and nobody cares, then Christian Bale is allowed to physically kill one crew member of every movie he works on, no repercussions. It's the way things gotta be.

Who says so? I say so.

People are seriously defending this behaviour? Bale got a bit too stressed out and went off on one. Is his anger justifiable? Yes, but to go on like that, being that confrontational is just as unprofessional. You can hear that when McG tries to intervene Bale won't have it and when McG suggests taking a break he won't listen to that either. It was a heat of the moment hissyfit and I'm sure he probably feels stupid about it now.

I just hope he realised his error and made a proper apology.

Forgive me, I hadn't been online in like 3 years up until last week and I'm still catching up on a lot of stuff.

But, McG is the director of that flick? Yeesh, if that's the case, not only does Bale not owe anyone an apology, he should have hauled off and wacked that guy, too. Once for getting in his way, and once more for Charlie's Angels. And two for flinchin'.

Seriously, though, trying to calm anybody down when they're that pissed is suicide, no matter why they're mad. You just gotta let 'em tire themselves out. I find that anything else just gets people hurt.

did anybody see James Lipton from Inside The Actor's Studio's do a re-enactment last night on Conan? lol

Missed it, but I did see them making fun of it on "Attack of the Show" the other night.

My fiancee and I have been randomly yelling "What don't you f*cking understand?!" at each other for days, now.:lol:

amusing

If this happened during The Dark Knight, would he have used his Bat-growl?

So Family Guy's lampooning this too...how timely...:roll:
