You guys are acting like he came in and mowed down the set with a machine gun. Was he being a jerk? Yes. Was it wrong? Yes. But I'm not going to burn every movie starring Christian Bale just because of this. Russel Crowe is a notorious hothead, who has physically assaulted people, but I usually enjoy his performances too. The fact that Bale has played Batman doesn't sway me one way or another.

Amen brother, amenI 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

>Too many people have a mancrush on the guy because he's the current Batman.
I don't like Batman. Or Bale. Or action movies.
>I honestly cannot grasp the need to defend and excuse that kind of behavior.
I think you're mistaking "finding a cause of" for "excusing."
>people with anger management issues need help not excuses
True; but you can't actually help until you find what's causing the problem. A lot of the posts seem to go the "there's something wrong with him. He's obviously damaged/just a jerk" route. NOTHING happens without a reason or a cause. If a person is freaking out over something seemingly minor there usually IS something more behind it; and that something doesn't neccessarily have to be a personal defect. But observers like to think there's something inherent to a guy like Bale that makes him go off, that way they don't have to accept that ANYBODY could go off like this. 'Cos of course, I would NEVER behave like that!
....but you COULD. Anybody could. (I think Zimbardo demonstrated that....)

CTC, since you quoted me twice:
I've made my feelings clear on how I feel about anger management issues as well as my opinion on how our culture deals with these issues. I've also done so in a very sincere, polite and non insulting way. I have nothing more to add to this topic.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Sorry if ressurecting this "touchy" subject is a bad idea...
But I just heard a FAMILY GUY spoof of the tape and I found it hilarious.
I don't condone judgement of the Bale thing being that we weren't there
to witness it (heck, I was so against this thing being public that this is the
first time I ever even HEARD the tape---albeit doctored with Peter Griffin's voice)
BUT
I DO find it just fine to laugh at the spoof:
(Best...or most poignant line, Peter saying : "Do you punch your mother with that mouth?")
