Christian Bale's profane tirade on 'Terminator: Salvation' set

XTF PBAsniper · 02-3-2009, 08:34 AM

I just now heard about this even though the story was published yesterday.

The incident was audio taped, and it's amazing. It happened on the set after a director of photography accidentally ruined a scene by walking onto the set. Bale lost it, screaming, yelling with profound language and threatening to quit if the bosses didn't fire the dude.

edit:

Quote:

"Film execs sent the audiotape to the insurance company that insured Terminator Salvation in case Bale dropped out of the mega-million-dollar production."

Here is the censored version. FIVE MINUTES LONG.

Profound?

You post a censored version of it, then immediately state that you have the censored version if anyone wants it...?

Who gives a ****? I'd be pissed off too if I was just a major player in the 2nd highest grossing film of all time and had a scene ruined by some asshole. You think he wants to screw around with Terminator sequel bull****? Screw that, he's a serious actor and I'm sure is doing this thing for the paycheck and nothing else.

He sounds a bit angry. Maybe he was really into character and that just ruined everything. I'd be upset too.

Nice understatement. :P

I would be furious too. I understand how he's pissed. And I understand that he's got a temper, but he's got to keep it on a leash sometimes. He was harsh, and he's taking things too personally.

Here's the uncensored audio. That damned censored version is grating on the nerves.

Ridiculous behavior. I don't care if you're mad, there are no excuses for behavior like that in my books regardless of who you are. Get yourself together and act like a civilized human being.

I normally pay no attention to celebrity news, but this caught my attention. Grow up, seriously. Nobody wants to work with somebody like this. I mean, I can infer from the video it was probably an intense scene and now it's screwed up, but ...deal with it. You're getting paid a ludicrous amount of money for doing a rather mediocre job of pretending to be somebody.

I don't even think Arnold would do a thing like that.

OrganisM · 02-3-2009, 02:20 PM

I don't think anybody would **** with Arnold.

LOL

That was seriously uncalled for. People make mistakes from time to time, no need to be such a dick about it.

When so much money is involved, yeah, there is a need to be a dick about it. If this guy was doing his job right things would've been fine.

Sorry, but I have little sympathy for people who have a job and fail to perform said job correctly.

SethSquall · 02-3-2009, 04:07 PM

People make mistakes, Afro.

Although I'm sure it's not the first time it's happened, sounds like the guy Bale is mad at has done it many times before.

**MooMoo_Cowfreak** · 02-3-2009, 04:32 PM

Ahahahahaha

My dad's friend was working on that set at the same time he did that.

He was up on the rafters and christian bale blew it. It was filmed here in albuquerque, so that's how he got to work on it.

OrganisM · 02-3-2009, 04:36 PM

Sadly the public will probably take it for much for than it is. So what? He blew a gasket. Some of us get tired of crap once in a while.

This is funny

Hey at least he didn't do this in his batman voice.

Think about it, you're in-character in probably an extremely emotional scene, and out of the corner of your eye some guy is walking right in the middle of it. Obviously that ****s up your focus, and all that emotion in-character is going to aim towards that one guy.

There's a HUGE difference between being mad at somebody and dealing with it professionally and ...dealing with it the way he did.

You're seriously justifying treating somebody like that?

Wow.

Just-world fallacy bud.

Yeah, people flip out sometimes. It's not uncommon, and I probably wouldn't read too deeply into this. Doesn't make it right, though.

OrganisM · 02-3-2009, 05:49 PM

Oh, I certainly am not trying to justify it.
