I totally understand his anger, a distraction can break character in a flash and make you feel like an idiot, flub a line or just plain cause you to pause for a millisecond to reorient yourself but Mr. Bale... goes a bit too far...
Don't set him off, He is pumped full of steroids, He will discipline you like he did his mother.
Isn't your name "Shane" lazy? Was it you who made him blow his stack?
I don't get this guy's anger. So he got distracted and is taking it out on some guy walking around? That's not really much different from someone who dies on some really hard level suddenly throwing a tantrum because someone was "talking in the background". Get over it, and this anger is completely useless on top of that. Can't he just move on? I mean did he walk in FRONT of the camera? There's people that do entire scenes about talking to an alien when all they have is a white plastic ball to take it's place. Get over yourself. Besides that, once someone says "sorry" you really need to move on. Yelling even more about how you love being angry so much is just being a jerk.
Oh and threatening to destroy property, and worse attack the guy? That's stepping way over the line. He's acting like a 2 year old.
It was the DP for T4 and apparently he was checking his lighting in the middle of a scene. Batman was saying "You trashed my scene by distracting me so DO YOU WANT ME TO TRASH YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS?" But a DP in my experience checks his lighting all-the-god-damn-time because its their entire career in the krapper if a scene passes to tin and its lit badly, specially on a high end visual movie like T4 (and McG) are claiming it will be (so far i'm not sold, T3 disappointed me greatly /nerd). I would think Bale would understand the importance of the DP's job but maybe this is an ongoing rivalry. ...on the other hand Shane is green and did mostly comedies (protip: comedies are lit flat and wide, not dramatic at all), so he's probably nervous about his lighting.
The tantrum was pure gold, I would have died laughing and probably would have gotten fired. It reminds me so much of my stepdad.

Internet <3
Tons of good movies this summer, Transformers 2,Startrek, ect..
Ah! Stephen Colbert is mocking this right now. Hilarious! The guy who walked around in the background? Steve Martin.
Quote:Actor Christian Bale has publicly apologised for his foul-mouthed tirade on the set of upcoming movie Terminator Salvation, insisting his behaviour was "out of order beyond belief". The Batman Begins star's outburst last summer was caught on tape and the four-minute long audio, in which he uses the F-word 35 times, leaked onto the internet earlier this week (begs02Feb09).
Bale is heard angrily reprimanding and hurling abuse and expletives at director of photography Shane Hurlbut, who distracted him during a scene by walking onset twice.
The recording earned Bale much criticism - prompting the actor to come forward to express his "regret" at his "inexcusable" behaviour.
In an interview with the Los Angeles-based Kevin & Bean radio show on Friday, Bale says, "I have to tell ya, it's been a miserable week for me... I know I have a potty mouth, everybody knows that now. The thing that I really wanna stress is that I have no confusion whatsoever, I was out of order beyond belief. I was way out of order. I acted like a punk, I regret that, and there is nobody that has heard that tape that it's hit harder than me. So I make no excuses for it, it was inexcusable and I hope that is absolutely clear..."
Bale blames himself for getting too engrossed in his character and losing control of his temper - although he is adamant the bust-up "never came close to being physical".
He adds, "So many people have opinions on this, but none of them were there. Now, we're making Terminator... Sarah Connor is in an insane asylum. I play John Connor, Sarah Connor's son. Now, on the day that all of this happened, the scene that we were doing, I was trying to show a little of that in the blood craziness. You know what? It went very wrong and for reasons that myself, and Shane... and every crewmember who was in that hanger at Kirkland Air Space (in Washington) that day, they know the reasons, I got annoyed and then what happened, I made it ugly, and that was awful of me. I took it way too far and completely mixed up fact and fiction, I'm half John Connor, half Christian Bale and we've heard what happened."
But Bale insists he and Hurlburt have not let the incident affect their professional relationship: "I've not only talked with him, we resolved this completely that very day. We kept working for a number of hours. Listen, when I'm saying I'm not coming back on that set if he's still there, you know what? It's hot air. I don't believe that. I had no intention of getting anybody fired. I absolutely believed in Shane's capability, he's done a wonderful job on that movie. Everything is resolved between us, there is no problem whatsoever. I've seen a cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful professional job, and I don't want anyone to have a misunderstanding about that."

fail. haha, he should have kept it going. Oh, Shane? that HACK? I FUCKING FUCKED HIS FUCK!
anyway its pretty normal on sets for people to blow up, its always resolved and there are handshakes and backpats but the stress is so high that ...people just crack occasionally. But holy krap bale's spiritbombs were deliciously irrational
If I were the hands-down most worthless piece of shit to ever put on Batman's uniform, I'd be a little manic-depressive myself.
What's so bad about Bale's Batman?

Worse than Van Kilmer or George Clooney's Batman? I find that hard to believe.

I Don't blame the actors or hold them responsible for the hackwork of Joel Schumacher and the studio for not respecting the franchise.

I think he's better than Keaton, too. The growling voice is a little over-the-top but I don't think it's so bad. The worst part about him (and Joker, too) is that he seems downright invincible, like surviving a fall from a building large enough to land a helicopter. Actually, I guess Joker isn't so much invincible as he is omniscient and can apparently orchestrate and plan things out to the tiniest detail and have them pan out perfectly, aside from underestimating the consciences of both criminals and normal people in a kill-or-be-killed situation. That was a bit of an eye-rolling moment. I don't remember, why were all of those felons on the boat anyway? Were they being transported after the Joker destroyed the prison?
Anyway, the good parts of The Dark Knight make up for the bad, and I think Nolan's Batmans are still more interesting than Schumacher's or Burton's.
That said, you've probably all seen this, but it's still hilarious:

Beans/ He breaks the 4th wall, he has no actual personality as his super power is free form heightened awareness and his very construction is completely based off the idea that his real past is so fucked, he even makes up his own storyline of how he came in to being every time he appears. He has broken almost all of his bones and has the agility of a coked up ferret, he knows how to street fight better than a Crip but he likes to pretend he cant even throw a punch because he enjoys seeing people's rage. And when Scarecrow dusted him with Fear, to his surprise Joker had no fears to fear, and then beat the shit out of Scarecrow with a chair. He's an immeasurable genius, he's hardwired in a way that makes him truly separate from humanity. The fact that he can plan things down to infinite details doesn't surprise me at all. He tried to trademark a form of tuna that had been deformed to resemble himself, when the government refused, he killed members of congress. I fucking love him. Nolan opted out of showing Joker's artistic side (protip: he studied art most of his life but became interested in disfigurement-as-art for obvious reasons) but i'm hoping his forthcoming appearances at least mention it...
Hmm, ferries... I dont remember eckzacery, but didn't Joker order that he will allow Gothonians back in to Gotham for an even trade of inmates (hence why they were facing in different directions)?
Anyway, I think this joker is more based on his early red hood days and his climb to power but *every* Joker story has one thing in common: His appearance isn't just make up. So i'm thinking either it was trashed for the 'war paint' or that Joker's bath time will be in the next movie. Regardless of anything, I want a joker that smiles and acts like a clown on occasion. Remember the gun that shot out the flag that says 'Bang' but the flag was actually metal and he used it to stab the dude in the neck? That was funny. i forget which comic that was in...
Gordon wanted all the prisoners out of the city so they wouldn't have to track them down again.
and he was moving citizens to the island prison?
He was moving prisoners out because they don't deserve to be exploded either, most of them.
The joker is a little bit different every time you see him. His past isn't even certain. They apparently change his history every now and then and the Joker apparently prefers his past to be "multiple choice". Also, he's funny!
He did do a few gags in this movie, like the fake grenade at the start, but they kinda went without the joy buzzers and even the joker venom because, well, they were going for something a person in his situation might actually be able to do. I doubt he'd be capable of chemistry or really inventive mechanics.
wtf are you kiddin? His chemistry set is basically the pharmaceuticals and chemicals he picked up from manufacturers while playing his gangster games. Everything else he just made in his spare time. The elephant gun pistol was one of my personal favorites.
lazyfatbum Wrote:and he was moving citizens to the island prison?
Both of the boats were leaving Gotham bound for the Batman universe equivalent of New Jersey. Gordon wanted to get the convicts out as soon as possible so the Joker wouldn't be able to bust them out and set them loose on the city.
