Christian Bale is a nut job!!!!!

[Zemo]

Yea, ok, now what was I mad about?

The verbal lashing is not against the law but the part where he threatens to kick the guys ***** if he doesn't shut up is.
It's called uttering threats and is illegal here in Canada.
But I agree they are probably over this long ago.I'm sure they have moved on and yes I have yelled at people before as well.
But never threatened them there is a difference there.
Just another day in Hollywood I'm sure.
He is still a decent actor and I look forward to the film.

Freek Bale!!! He's not Batman I would have bust his *** with a bat.....

[Hector]

Now...not to excuse Bale...but there's also a possibility that the DP is a mayor jerk himself...not in the loud way...but perhaps inept and passive aggressive...so Bale let him have it (after many chances).

I've been in very similar situations.

I'm not defending Bale...but I understand the different possible scenarios here.

I'm just saying.

He was just getting ready for a screen test for Deadwood the final HBO movies.

Too many people have a mancrush on the guy because he's the current Batman.

After hearing this audio. I have lost respect for him. I think he is a ****ing tool.

No man crush here I just understand he is human and any man/woman on this board that says he/she has never ever tongue lashed anybody or never felt bad for something they have said is a damn liar.

Everybody sooner or later has done something they wish they hadn't.
His was caught on tape.

Not condoning it just saying he is human not to held to any higher standard than anybody else.

So truly ask yourself have you ever been an ****** to somebody?
I would say yes you probably have.

I honestly cannot grasp the need to defend and excuse that kind of behavior. I think type1kirk maybe has a point, when he says it's because of some kind of mancrush (for lack of a better word). Because otherwise there is really no rational way, in my opinion, to defend that kind of behavior. I know I sound like a broken record here but people with anger management issues need help not excuses.

Again no excuse,but are you honestly telling me from your heart of hearts that you have never ever yelled at anybody???
Seriously never???
Come on!!!
I'm calling Bull ****** if you say never.
If so then congrats to you,your holiness.

I'm not saying he is right I'm just saying he is human and they have both probably long since moved on with it so take it for what it is.I mean if you hate movies the guy has done because of this that's just ridiculous.

A good movie is a good movie.
I don't hate the road warrior because Mel was a jerk wad.
I could seriously care less about him personally but a good movie is a good movie.

Him yelling at some guy is not going to make me not want to watch terminator 4!!!
I'll watch it and if his acting sucks then I won't watch terminator 5 and 6.

Never to that extreme degree, no. If I had ever spoken to or threatened a co-worker like that I would have been escorted out of the building by security and taken to jail.

I'm not saying he is right I'm just saying he is human and they have both probably long since moved on with it so take it for what it is.I mean if you hate movies the guy has done because of this that's just ridiculous.

Hate the movies he has done? I have not seen any of his movies before because none of them interested me. I only have a passing knowledge of the actor because he was in Batman, which I have not even seen. You are the one coming off as not being able to seperate the behavior from your admiration of his work. I hold everyone to the same stanadard and that behavior, no matter who is doing it, is not acceptable.

I'll watch it and if his acting sucks then I won't watch terminator 5 and 6.

I'm not going to see the movie because I am not into the Terminator movies. I have nothing against the actor and hope he gets help dealing with his anger issues.

The American Psychological Association consider anger issues a serious problem. But it can be controlled and maintained at a healthy level.

Controlling Anger Before it Controls You

[Hector]

I like Bale even more now...that tirade was funny as hell...lol...

[fallensaviour]

You are the one coming off as not being able to separate the behavior from your admiration of his work.

Really!?!?!?!?
I said he was human and his behaviour would not stop me from seeing a movie because he was in it.
I did not say I admired him,Or that I condoned what he did!!!
I just understand the behaviour.
It is easy to get there when you are passionate about something.Family,work,art,...etc,etc.
Or just stressed out.
I am not saying it is at all right,just that it does happen.

I have been angry and verbally lashed people before with no care as to the repercussions of my anger towards them I could have cared less really.Like after I was angry did they go home and take it out on someone there?
Again I didn't know and didn't care.They P!$$3D me OFF I told them so.
I now know and have experienced the other side of things.I have taken anger management courses and have not behaved that way for many years.I never ever threatened to kick somebodies ***** though as a course of my anger.But yes I have also beat people up that deserved it.

I was not spoiled or the centre of the world just angry for a reason that they happened to be a part of at the time.

Now I pause,think about what I would like to convey and then try to move on together in a mutual fashion careful of other peoples feelings.
But if somebody takes a swing or threatens me then game on Grab your arse and kiss it goodbye.I'm going through you like a freight train and years of repressed anger are coming at you with the ability to land.

When he threatened to kick the guys butt I would slapped him around like the little punk he is.
Hopefully they have appologized to each other,and they have both moved on.

Again I understand how it can happen.

[Meule]

I bet this sort of stuff happens daily in Hollywood. And who knows what else happened before he got angry like this. From what I hear this was the second time he got distracted by the light guy. Is that a reason to go nuts like that? No, but like I said, who knows what else happened that day?
Besides, Bale pulls of a mean Batman, so he can go ape**** any day for all I care
