- Xihix, on 02/02/2009, -15/+931Why don't these ***** idiots just understand that I'M THE GOD DAMN BATMAN!?
- Barackalypse, on 02/03/2009, -19/+834Why so serious?
- DarksiderUK, on 02/03/2009, -11/+758And his accent is all over the place!
- RTourn, on 02/03/2009, -33/+763Mistakes happen, fix the problem and move on. The big DISRUPTION was the tantrum this man had. Actors have to get back into character, workers everywhere have to remember what they were doing, and to try and keep their minds on task. The entire set will now be harder to work on, because of the the environment Bale just produced. There is bad press, there are people who will not see this movie. Like I said, mistakes happen, fix the problem and move on.
- dn11, on 02/02/2009, -14/+681LOL. wasn't this the guy that was arrested for verbally abusing his family or something? it's starting to make sense now
- PixelMagic, on 02/03/2009, -10/+587One might say that Bale goes ***** crazy.
- Autrix, on 02/03/2009, -1/+543Duh, his family members were being a bunch of amateurs.

However I wish he had pulled a Bill O' and said "***** IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE"
Live Terminator ***** yeah! - DarksiderUK, on 02/03/2009, -66/+501Douchebag
- Vagabond91, on 02/03/2009, -25/+441Remember this is a guy who lost ~60 pounds for the machinist and then gained 80+ for Batman right after. He has an unhealthy obsession with his craft which is also why he's so good. Considering this is the first we've heard of a blow up on set, I'm letting this one pass. Dick move? For sure but so far he's not a constant jackass like old Russel Crow or Mickey Rourke(and look at them now.)
- wbxhc, on 02/02/2009, -9/+417Direct link to the audio http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/020209_christianba ...
The boy obviously thinks he is still on the American Psycho set. - Ismith988, on 02/03/2009, -3/+404You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
- FingersOfFury, on 02/03/2009, -6/+370Christian Bale demonstrating how to lose friends and alienate people.
- ArxUmbra, on 02/02/2009, -11/+364wow. that was nuts.
- KnifeStorm, on 02/03/2009, -0/+337Bale's gonna be pissed at the sound guys for recording this.
- OMGRussellCrowe, on 02/03/2009, -2/+295Techno version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTihsJQHt48 - RobotMojo, on 02/03/2009, -14/+302I'm sorry. Is Christian Bale an awesome actor? yes, clearly. But he's a ***** actor, doing his ***** job. And granted, it sounds like the DP was doing something unquestionably retarded (no professional photographer of any kind should be shortsighted enough to interrupt the actions he/she is hired to capture). But they're both human beings, and the guy made a stupid, but forgivable mistake. No need to embarrass him and yourself by going laughably beserk on him. Just ***** get over it, and do your job you're being paid an exorbitant amount of money to perform. Don't destroy everyone's productivity, not to mention morale, by hypocritically berating him with "unprofessional!" and "amateur!" rants.
- SportsAnna, on 02/02/2009, -26/+302Don't piss off Batman.
- kzoopSF, on 02/02/2009, -5/+222i can't wait for the mashup!
- inactive, on 02/03/2009, -14/+217I like Christian but he is definitely a crazy bitch. It sounds like the guy was ruining the scenes more than once and then was being antagonistic about it. Not that this justifies that temper tantrum. On the part where he said "No let's GO AGAIN!!!" He reminded me of Bill O'Reillys' "DO IT LIVE! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!" and lmao@ "Why the ***** are you walking through" la da da da da" like this in the background?!"
- AlexsCellarDoor, on 02/03/2009, -0/+200HA! Walking around while he's trying to make a sandwich. very distracting
- Ratteler, on 02/03/2009, -0/+187I would pick exactly that moment to ask him to autograph my VHS copy of "Newsies". }:-D
- decyx, on 02/03/2009, -3/+175"If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest."
-Christian Bale.
And there you have it, folks. - Sherman901, on 02/03/2009, -35/+205Dude, don't try to justify it. He was a giant dick.
- chonuts, on 02/03/2009, -4/+173"You don't ***** understand what it's like working with actors, that's what that is."
Apparently not. I've heard about freak-outs like this with various high-profile actors over the years. It just makes you remember that movies aren't real, the actors are just playing characters and the whole thing is just an expensive illusion. The sad thing is, if Christian Bale was serious enough, that Director of Photography could easily be fired and replaced, since you obviously can't make the movie without Bale. The actor always gets his way. And yet, for some reason, we hold them up so high. - VelvetoneFusion, on 02/03/2009, -2/+160Don't talk about my favorite English-Welsh-Irish-Australian-American actor that way!
- keozen, on 02/03/2009, -2/+158Transcript for those of us at work:
Christian Bale: KICK YOUR ***** ASS!
Shane Hurlbut: Christian, Christian –
Bale: I want you off the ***** set you prick!
Shane: Christian, I'm sorry.
Bale: No, don't just be sorry, think for one ***** second. What the ***** are you DOING ? Are you professional or not?
Shane: Yes I am.
Bale: Do I ***** walk around and rip down –
Bruce Franklin: Christian, Christian –
Bale: No, shut the ***** up Bruce! Do I want - no! No! Don't shut me up.
Franklin: I'm not shutting you up.
Bale: Am I going to walk around and rip your ***** lights down, in the middle of a scene? Then why the ***** are you walking right through? Ah da da dah, like this in the background. What the ***** is it with you? What don't you ***** understand?
Shane: (inaudible)
Bale: You got any ***** idea about, hey, it's ***** distracting having somebody walking up behind Bryce in the middle of the ***** scene? Give me a ***** answer! What don't you get about it?
Shane: I was looking at the light.
Bale: Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was ***** good, because it's useless now, isn't it?
Shane: Ok.
Bale: *****-sake man, you're amateur. McG, you got ***** something to say to this prick?
McG: I didn't see it happen.
Bale: Well, somebody should be ***** watching and keeping an eye on him.
McG: Fair enough.
Batman!Bale: It's the second time that he doesn't give a ***** about what is going on in front of the camera, alright? I'm trying to ***** do a scene here, and I am going "Why the ***** is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there?" Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?
Shane: I absolutely apologize. I'm sorry, I did not mean anything by it.
Bale: Stay off the ***** set man. For *****-sake. Alright, let's go again.
McG: Let's just take a minute.
Bale: Let's not take a ***** minute, let's go again. And have YOU ***** walking in! Can I have Tom put this on please.
Franklin: Can I have Tom in wardrobe please? Can I have Tom in wardrobe?
Bale: You're unbelievable, you're un-*****-believable. Number of times you're strolling-a-***** around in the background. I've never had a DP behave like this. Ehhh…you don't ***** understand what it's like working with actors, that's what that is.
Shane: No, that's –
Bale: That's what that is man, I'm telling you. I'm not asking, I'm telling you. You wouldn't have done that otherwise.
Shane: No, what it is, is looking at the light and making sure, that you are, ugh –
American PsychoBale: I'M GOING TO ***** KICK YOUR ***** ASS IF YOU DON'T SHUT FOR A SECOND! ALRIGHT?
Unknowns: Christian, Christian. It's cool.
Bale: I'm going to go…Do you want me to ***** go trash your lights? DO YOU WANT ME TO ***** TRASH YOUR? Then why are you trashing my scene?
Shane: I'm not trying to trash your scene.
Bale: You are trashing my scene!
Shane: Christian, I was only –
Bale: You do it one more ***** time and I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired. I'm ***** serious. You're a nice guy. You're a nice guy, but that don't ***** cut it when you're ***** and ***** around like this on set.
McG: Alright, I know, let's, let's — (inaudible) –
Bale: Yeah, you might get it. He doesn't ***** get it.
McG: I got it, I know. I get it. I get it. I know.
Bale: You might. He. Does. Not. Get It.
McG: We made good adjustments. For real, honestly. I get it. Just walk for five seconds.
Bale: No, I don't need any ***** walking. He needs to stop walking.
McG: I get that –
Bale: I ain't the one walking. Let's get Tom and put this back on and let's go again. Seriously man, you and me, we're ***** done professionally. ***** ass. - DAVENP0RT, on 02/03/2009, -10/+141Newsflash - Christian Bale still *****, eats, sleeps, and breathes just like everyone else. No one deserves to be treated that way for something so menial.
- reed311, on 02/02/2009, -128/+253Wow, what a baby. I think I'll be skipping this movie.
- 0ceanic, on 02/03/2009, -2/+123you seem to know something about movie sets.
what is a DP ?
all google tells me is that its double penetration. - nogami, on 02/03/2009, -4/+123The DP and the Director are usually pretty close. He's definitely not going to get fired over this.
What it did do however is likely cause the entire crew to lose any respect for Bale. I doubt they'd lift a finger to give him the least little bit of support now. The sound quality on this is too good to be an off-mic recording - someone on the crew or in the lab definitely leaked it to the press. - chuckDontSurf, on 02/03/2009, -4/+118It would've been awesome if he'd done it in the bat-voice. He'd still be a prick, but at least it would've been cool.
- WhiskeyWrites, on 02/03/2009, -1/+109I imagine he was more pissed when he realized sound was still rolling on this and someone let it out.
- slaypiece, on 02/03/2009, -1/+108As McG is doing the interview, some random guy just walks right behind him...
"That's exactly what we're up to here - [cuts himself off as guy walks by] That guy just walked in the shot. That's kinda cool.
[pauses, as though he's wondering whether to say it.]
[Looking directly into the camera] "You get into a lot of trouble for that on set." - jascination, on 02/03/2009, -2/+109I saw this just now on Reddit, there was a comment there by Fitzhume which explained what happened pretty well:
"I think people are making some incorrect assumptions as to where the DP was. I'm pretty sure he was not actually IN the shot like most people think. He was in Bale's line of sight moving around, and that was enough to set him off.
You have to understand that at this level, there is an incredibly clear sequence of events that make it clear when the camera is rolling. The DP is not going to walk into the middle of a shot. He will walk 30 feet one way to see what the light is doing on the set in a specific spot maybe, but he's aware of where cameras are placed. He spends a good amount of time looking to see what each camera sees, and he's going to moving around out of the cameras' field of view.
Bale was in the right to some extent, but who knows what agreement they had about locking the set down during takes. Even with some sort of agreement, we're talking about the DP. He's basically just below the director on the totem pole, so he's probably used to having pretty free reign to move around even if it's in an actor's view. Usually the light's are bright enough anyway that the actor's not going to easily see off set and be distracted." - synapzgap, on 02/03/2009, -73/+180Way to alienate your fan base Bale. ***** Douchebag.
- DAVENP0RT, on 02/03/2009, -25/+125Yeah, I think I'm gonna skip it in theaters and just download it now.
- ajde, on 02/03/2009, -1/+95For my very first (and probably last) yoga class, a student came in late and the yoga teacher was like, "Robert, when you show up LATE, you RUIN the class for EVERYBODY! It's very DISRUPTIVE!"
I wouldn't have given a ***** about the guy quietly coming in and joining the group, but hearing a dude who's supposed to be teaching me the art of being calm bitching and moaning about it totally ***** up my chi. Then after the lesson, the teacher was like, "So, how did I do?"
This is kinda like that. - jc7012, on 02/03/2009, -15/+109Ah, the internet tough-guy.
- Abdax, on 02/03/2009, -0/+93Hey, no one called cut. And if no one calls cut, YOU DON'T CUT.
- Eminemdrdre00, on 02/03/2009, -1/+92haah nice find.
- stevenr21, on 02/03/2009, -11/+101you think you can beat up batman?
- rotundo, on 02/03/2009, -16/+103I loved the Machinist, and I love most of his work -- but what a spoiled brat. There is no excuse, never, for anyone to be that disrespectful. Just wow.
I mean, just think what a total lack of life perspective it takes to get that upset about something as superfluous in grand scheme of things as a flubbed scene take in a movie. And I'm an indie film director so it's not like I don't care about the craft. It's just that he is actually doing far more damage to the process than the original "mistake" or whatever he's claiming the DP made.
I really despise loud-mouthed machismo types. It's going to be hard to enjoy watching him on screen now. - inactive, on 02/03/2009, -3/+85Taken from a reply to the second comment... from OMGRussellCrowe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTihsJQHt48 - lafan313, on 02/03/2009, -8/+86dude on my ***** of ***** days i have never demeaned and disrespected a person like this
- JTTM, on 02/03/2009, -0/+76"its ***** distracting, OHHHHHH GOOOOD!"
"its ***** distracting, OHHHHHH GOOOOD!"
"its ***** distracting, OHHHHHH GOOOOD!"
"its ***** distracting, OHHHHHH GOOOOD!"
"its ***** distracting, OHHHHHH GOOOOD!" - therightclique, on 02/03/2009, -20/+96to be fair, you're kind of an ***** for going to a yoga class in the first place.
- Chainheart2, on 02/03/2009, -6/+81You wouldn't be defending this if you weren't a rabid fan.
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLXVuy0h29c
Anyone notice how his accent gets more British the more pissed he becomes/vice versa? - spankaccount, on 02/03/2009, -7/+81This is going to give us a new term in internet-dom. Going 'Bale' on someone. I see it coming.
