Christian Bale losing it

the way he speaks is extraodinary, hes from yorkshire or somewhere isn't he?, he sorta throw his words out of his mouth before its ready. do all people from where he lives talk like that? either that or his tongue is too big for his mouth

I heard he's one of them there Welsh fellas. A rum bunch.
 
Obviously now the next Batman villian needs be Bill O'Reilly. The two can spend the entire duration of the film screaming swears into each others angry little faces. :cool:
 
I bet he is a real weaking. I bet if the 'DP' he is shouting at hit Bale, Bale would just start crying.

Er no. Bale is renowned for being a genuine martial artist who does most (i hestitate to say all but the claim is all) of his own fights scenes. He can handle himself.
 
He sounds like a right bellend but I suspect the whole thing was set up as some kind of publicity for the film....a bit like when Heath Ledger snuffed it before the Dark Knight came out.

I did actually just lol long and hard at that comment - my girlfriend thinks I am quite strange!
 
LOL, don't I??

I've just spent three months on a movie set, a big one, overseas, six days a week and 12 hours a day. What experience do you have then?

i've just spent 11 years working in the media ,both here and in " holywooood" so what ? you wanna fight about it???

anyway,i agree,tele and film is a giant hi-arachical (<check the poor spelling) sycophantic bullshit quagmire.(<again) where the actors can speak to everyone like shite and get away with it.(so can the director and everyone else above you,whoever you are)

this is not news.this is daily life to people like me ,who work iin "hollywoooood".
 
Two points, I met Christian Bale a couple of times back in 2000 on a film he made in Ireland, he was a gent then, and he rescued a stray dog, that was adopted by the 2nd unit production manager.

Okay yes, this was a fucking temper tantrum of the highest fucking order, but as I understand it, this DoP likes to change the lighting rigging mid shot. Now firstly this is bang out of order for DoP to do, ith's just not done. And early in the rant he says that he's objected to this before. On a film set, turning a take, and keep in mind I've, like PK, been on 100m dollar film set, once the camera is rolling, you don't fucking dare breath when cameras are rolling. Never mind make eye contact with an actor, never mind move around and switch lights, it's just not fucking done. Same as you don't dance around in the wings of the RSC in clown makeup stark bollock naked mid performance, you don't do what this dipshit did, mid performance. You're crew, you slay yourself to ensure the cast can focus on performance.

Like I said around a decade ago, I worked on a movie with christian bale were he was a polite gent, and rescused a stray puppy, this week, he acted like a dick on a massively big budget movie, when his DoP was totally out of line.

Essentially you witnessed a man freak out over his pint getting spilled without some perpective. Me personnally I could never act. Ever been on a film set? My wife is watching Secretary at the moment, and I know during the most intense scenese 30-40 people are watching and about another 10 people get uncut dvds of the uneditted performance.

Christian Bale is pretending to be a freedom fighter aganist an army of robot killing machines, and is trying to give some emotional intensity to a scene most of us couldn't act more wooden in if we got a complete maghony organ transplant.
 
If you went off on one like this in a normal job, chances are you'd be fired. Mr Bale doesn't have a normal job, of course, but it's yet another depressing sign of how detached Hollywood is from reality.

Caught the end of ITV news due to the FA Cup highlights, and they had a good ol' chortle about Mr Bale's foul-mouthed antics, presenting the whole thing as a comic strip. :confused: That's not helping any.
 
I'm amazed people put up with it.

Well, they're all freelancers, so you don't want to rock the boat & find yourself unable to pay the mortgage.
Plus they're earning shed loads of cash, plus they all get to walk away at the end of the day go to a bar & talk about what a cock Bale was today with the rest of the crew & laugh about it.
Same in the photo industry. You just wear that specially tailored suit of the finest thick skin to work sometimes.

Who cares, he's a spoilt whiny hollywood bitch. the guy should smacked him right in the chops, see how fucking hard he is then when someone stands up to him.
 
I don't know what the scene was but it was suppose to be an emotional one. So if someone was fucking around in the background, then he deserved to be shouted out.

After hearing Bale go off on one, I like him more as an actor. He takes his shit seriously.

Emotional scene in Terminator 4? :hmm: :D

This. And the directer (if 'mcg' deserves the title) needs a kick in the ass for not preempting this. Also, with that tool in-charge alot of the responsibility for getting the performance must be left to Bale, which can't be helping his mood.
 
My wife is watching Secretary at the moment...

Damn I love that movie, for obvious reasons...
