Christian Bale Loses it on Terminator set

Where have you heard that, since as far as I know , no one has seen it yet in its entirety and those who have seen some of it have only seen select scenes without all of the F/X in it. To try to extrapolate how good a movie is going to be off of just about 20 mins of random scenes is impossible or difficult at best.

 

Your telling me this topic still hasn't died.

 

Man, this is all over the mainstream media now.

Must be a slow news week.

 

It just broke in the mainstream press not more than a few days ago. I guess that's "ancient history" for those who are connected 24/7/365 though.

The audio recording is new. The incident itself has been known, and more importantly over and done with, for months.

 

I'm boycotting all his films except the good ones.

That may or may not include T4, i'll have to watch it first to decide if I should boycott it.

 

Had this been Shatner, you'd all be throwing him to the wolves..

What would Shatner be doing on a motion picture set?

 

Apparently this isn't over yet:

Bale's former assistant will be on Inside Edition today to talk about his former boss. The commercial includes him saying something to the effect of Bale being a "Sad man."

 

Oh, SNAP! BURN!

 

Um. That's what Bale was trying to do...but then the DP kept fucking around...and made the performing a wee bit hard.

And it's not like he did this on the street or on a talk show. He did it on a set, a place of business.

 

I always knew that John Conner was a whiny bitch.

 

I agree. In this case Bale is the boss. If he walks the film is fucked. He knows that so he can pretty much lose his shit if he wants to and get away with it. In a normal situation of work he wouldn't because he wouldn't want to get fired. I'm sure many of us might feel free to do the same if the company we worked for depended on our being there. Without a doubt we all want to just blast someone sometimes, but instead we bite our tongue. Pleanty of us do it here instead.

 

Oh, puh-leeze. Just because you're the Admin doesn't mean other people aren't allowed to have their own opinion. But the truth is, I really don't give a rat's ass about Christian Bale's character or personality. You got at least one thing right; I had no part in the incident, but that doesn't change my perceptions of him, both as a person and as an actor.

Seriously! It's entirely possible for someone to dislike a person (or frown upon him for what he said/did) and still appreciate his work. It happens all the time in the workplace. Clearly, not everything is black and white.

 

Ditto.

 

Nope, I'm one of the gray ones, actually (or colored, for that matter).

FYI, if you're referring to my post in this thread, then you missed the point I was trying to make. I said there were different "camps" of people, none of whom I made specific. Surely, if you see yourself as being one or the other, then you associate yourself with that.
