Terminator Director Goes Christian Bale On ComicCon Audience

cinemablend.com — If McG didn't know going into New York Comic Con that his audience would only care about Christian Bale's well-publicized freakout, he knew it as soon as he mentioned his star's name. On hand to present new footage from Terminator: Salvation, McG heard the snickers when he mentioned Bale's intensity, and gave a knowing smile when the mic gave feedb

  • inactive, on 02/07/2009, -1/+15yawn, make the film already, i don't care what they're like as people i'm never going to meet them and i don't read tmz.com.
  • Telekenesis, on 02/07/2009, -1/+15People are way to damn nosy, what, is your life so damn boring that you have to stick your noses in others constantly?
    We've all screwed up before give the guy a break.
  • andersonwill, on 02/07/2009, -2/+14what kind of name is McG
  • teamgwho, on 02/07/2009, -0/+11just got back from the con... was fourth in line behind the woman who asked the question. I think his initial response caught her off guard but then she laughed. I can appreciate what he said about how we've all gone off on someone at some point in our life. Maybe they deserved it, maybe they didn't. But that one outburst doesn't necesarily represent us as a whole.

    McG was actually quite interesting to listen to and I have a renewed faith that T4 will be an awesome film as will 5 and 6. We got to see about 7 minutes of footage, some of which we've seen in the trailers already, but most of it was new to us as viewers.
  • pelican2164, on 02/07/2009, -2/+11I baled my wife last night.
  • rypic7, on 02/07/2009, -1/+10"...belch out such a self righteous monologue..."

    ... have you read your post?

    and if you posted that as an ironic joke, it wasn't funny. just annoying.
  • Sil369, on 02/07/2009, -2/+10shut the bale-up
  • japican, on 02/07/2009, -3/+10Why does McG look so huge in the video? People are passing in front of him like they're ants.
  • mogdor, on 02/07/2009, -2/+9I like how the same people who were going off about what a dick Bale was are now saying people are making a big deal out of it. Stupid sheep on digg, learn to form your own opinions.
  • moothemagiccow, on 02/07/2009, -0/+7my life is pretty god damn boring but i actually dont care about this
  • teamgwho, on 02/07/2009, -0/+6McG addressed that a bit further on after this video ends. He felt that sometimes you have to let a person vent and if you try to strong arm them or overtalk them or tell them to STFU it only escalates the situation and makes it worse. and that is sometimes true. His rant went on for a good 3 minutes, so perhaps after a minute or so he could've said "You've made your point Christian" or something.... but... I wasn't there. I'm actually not sure if McG was there, but certainly the AP could've said something to that effect after Bale had ranted for a minute....
  • Chooxo, on 02/07/2009, -2/+8I just went Christian Bale on your mom.
  • teamgwho, on 02/08/2009, -0/+5One schmuck at the mike said "Hey Mick". This was McG's response.

    "G. Mick-G. What a terrible name right? You know what it stands for? McGinty. **(which i think is his middle name, but I can't remember and don't care enough to look up right now)** My first name is Joseph but I was the third Joseph in the house so instead of calling me by my real name, everyone's always called me McG. I've always hated it, but it's always been that way, so whatchgonnado?

    Anyway, so now that I hate you, what's your question?"
  • failtrain, on 02/08/2009, -0/+5She said you were ***** unprofessional.
  • Inflammo, on 02/07/2009, -3/+8Actually I believe it was the term "Bale out"
  • superterrorizer, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4It comes with fries and a toy.
  • MicrosoftAccess, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4By wife you mean right hand? Hey Ohh!
  • teamgwho, on 02/07/2009, -0/+4the video shows the big screen feed, not an actual straight on shot of McG
  • Voster, on 02/07/2009, -3/+7I knew it!
  • LightUrple, on 02/07/2009, -2/+6What makes you think they're the same people?
  • graemee, on 02/07/2009, -1/+537 times in 3 mins
  • matrixbandit, on 02/08/2009, -4/+8I buried your comment, is that what you meant?
  • dogfood, on 02/07/2009, -1/+5Who ***** cares about on-set drama? I want to see some movie footage!
  • BrokenVisage, on 02/07/2009, -0/+4We need to bale-out Hollywood.
  • decyx, on 02/08/2009, -0/+4They are ants, Michael. They are ants.
  • decyx, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3It's supposedly a nickname he had since he was a kid.
  • dalittle, on 02/08/2009, -1/+4Well, the publicity of Bale's tirade so long after it has happened makes sense to me now. This new terminator movie must suck and they are trying to hype it as much as possible for opening day as no one is probably going to see it the next weekend after word gets out.
  • diggymow, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3Yep, so that's the actual name he goes by.... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629334/ This is a little awkward....
  • Toshibi, on 02/07/2009, -0/+3I work in theatre sometimes, and when one of the performers starts going ape ***** it's like when you're a kid and over at a friends house and their parents start fighting. It's awkward and everyone starts kissing their ass 3 times harder.
  • NaziHatinChimp, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3+1 internets
  • bubbameister33, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3So true.
  • CynicSight, on 02/08/2009, -1/+4That sure is a lot of *****.
  • JustinPM, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=unprofess ...

    I know someone can do a better job, and to be honest I didn't put much effort into it. But I thought it funny nonetheless.
  • inactive, on 02/07/2009, -0/+3I don't really care about it, but you know, these people that were going off about it have probably learned a bit more about movie sets and under what circumstances this was.
  • alankem, on 02/08/2009, -0/+3Don't play his game, keep him at -10.
  • spike85, on 02/07/2009, -20/+23Get over this ***** already. BURIED!
  • inactive, on 02/08/2009, -1/+4HOLY ***** MCG IS A GIANT!
  • comradeTJH, on 02/07/2009, -6/+9So "going Christian Bale on..." became a new meme...
  • estacado, on 02/07/2009, -0/+3Fair enough.
  • WesleyD, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Director's Cut FTW
  • alankem, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2:)
  • aelias, on 02/07/2009, -1/+3They often forbid cameras in the screening room.
  • DredPir8Robrts, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2I can't wait to see the scene they were filming when this all happened
  • krazedkaoz, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2I take it you think your perfect too?
  • NaziHatinChimp, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Well if anything I really want to see the new terminator.
  • whahaa, on 02/07/2009, -0/+2scottish?
  • DredPir8Robrts, on 02/08/2009, -0/+2Or cast commentary could be even more entertaining, once the DVD is released
