Feb 6 2009Christian Bale apologizes for bringing world a week's worth of entertainment. You bastard!

Splah!

i wish i could tell him how much MORE i like him after I heard the audio

GREAT FUCKING MARKETING SCHEME IDIOTS.

Like I didn't see that coming from a mile away.

dude, you're a fucking actor, not a brain surgeon. "intense" acting doesn't give you the right to be a douchebag.

NOOOOO! Don't apologize!!!! For Fuck's sake, that guy was a total douche and he deserved it!

This poor guy keeps getting the shit end of the stick, I think. His mom gets him arrested for swearing at her and now this? It must be to balance out the hotness factor..

from what I get from this dude's personality, he shouldn't have apologized at all! He had every right to say "Fuck you" when he made that little I'm Sorry speech

Yeah, poor guy... first his mom, then this guy... it's not like there's a pattern forming or anything. He just seems like a teddy bear with no anger issues whatsoever. I'm sure this will be the last we'll ever hear of him losing his cool and being abusive.

Seriously, losing your cool is something we've all experienced, but Bale went on for three minutes totally berating the poor guy and even threatening him with violence. There's no excuse for that.

wah. wah. wah. Why the fuck do they always apologize? For once I would like to hear one of them say, Yeah, I fuckin said that shit....problem? Yeah. I didn't fuckin think so....mothuh fuckers.............

If I had to publically apologize everytime I said fuck......Jesus......could you all imagine that? Fuck. I wouldn't get anything else done.

The remix for this is even more fun than the various Wilford Brimley masterpieces. Christian Bale's still and angry face flying at your screen saying "what don't you fucking understand" is amazing.

You know who we should really be feeling sorry for this week? Michael Phelps.

please check out a remix of Bale's hysteria on YouTube (it's become a big hit now with almost 2 million views!!!!!!!!):

I have no idea, but I feel this director of photography had it coming. The only thing Bale did wrong was not actually beat his ass.

He should get a prize for that, not having to apologize lol!

you mean Shane Hurlbut, not Bruce Franklin, whow as Bale's defender.

Why did he issue a public apology? Was he cussing out the general public? It's fun to spy on your neighbors, but it doesn't give you any right to judge them for what they say to each other. If you hear someone call their wife a bitch, do you expect an apology too? Fuck you ya fuckin amateurs!

#15 - Well, you know what they say: "As an actor who spouts lines and plays make believe, he's a role model for all of humanity!" The general public feels they somehow personally own these celebs merely because they appear on the cover of magazines, therefore, these celeb slaves are obligated to "report to" the public and "be held accountable" for every single thing they ever do, to anybody, anytime, anywhere. Ever. F*****, fighting, wiping their ass the wrong way, you name it, "THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!!! THEY ARE OUR HERO ROLE MODELS!!!!!!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! THE CHILDREN!!!!!"

Douche bag apologize for being a douche bag only because audio clip was recording making people know hes a douche bag. Otherwise said douche bag would not have said sorry for his douche bag manner.

The new bat signal is gonna be the Summer's Eve logo. What a bat bitch.

....Uhhhh, Wait a second, Superficial.

Bruce Franklin is the Assistant Director/Associate Producer.
And he defended Bale.

Shane Hurlbert (Director of Photography) was the recipient of Bale's verbal outrage.

So....why would Bruce Franklin...be...a..dead...man?

Joke: FAILED.

What Christian is saying is that he realized that he doesn't have the clout to get anyone fired and will now kiss any and all asses necessary to keep working. Doubtful that he will be successful but enjoyable to watch nonetheless.

@18 -- Well in.

What an ass-wipe!

Am I the only thinking how hot and passionate Christian Bale must be in bed?!! ROFL!!! ;-)

this isn't the only time my son has lost his temper. he also hit me. how dare he try to turn it around and say that it was because of his intense acting. but if he was still in character i can't wait to see the movie. he is an idiot tho there is no excuse for trying to belittle a beautiful man. i never brought him up that way. i can't believe shane hurlbert defended him how will people learn that this behaviour is unacceptable if nobody has the balls to stand up for him. fuck christian bale anyway he's no arnie.

yours faithfully

Mrs Bale

Having been an actor myself, I completely understood why Bale lost his temper. It was during a pivotal emotional scene which required tremendous focus and concentration.

To have some douchbag walking around while you're stripping yourself naked emotionally is unprofessional and the height of disrespect. Like Bale said they guy "just didn't get it." He was treating the set like a construction site where carpenters hammer and saw without a care in the world.

Bale has nothing to apologize for.

course he does you dumb fuck if he can't handle it he can fuck off and get stress-free job like a window cleaner. you think how he behaved was acceptable? i'm gonna go wild when i see you! so what tv shows/movies are you on?

#19, you are a dick. Think about why he named Bruce Franklin. You mope.

Your past: FAILED.

You: DOUCHEBAG.

....Nice quick fix, Superficial.

You got mad cat-like-reflexes.
But....you should probably change:

"- because dead man can't start shit."

..to..

"- because a dead man can't start shit."

P.S. - Everyone hated me in 3rd grade.

I absolutely understand you know sometimes I lose my temper and have to apologize after...its just usually not recorded and funny.....can I mention how much I love this man.....sigh

If any of you "pro Bale hysterics" idiots think that the way he behaved is even remotely acceptable, I can only assume you have the IQ of kumquat. I think his rant want bordering on insane., and screw this "I am an actor" bullshit. What a crock. There is no, absolutely NO excuse for his behavior, and the ONLY reason he is apologizing is because the backers of the move are worried the people like ME will not go see the movie because of this, and I, for one, won't. I implore every person who thinks no human being should be lambasted the way this poor man was, to BOYCOTT the movie.

oh my god oneevilveggie i totally agree. wait a minute i already said it and you copied me.

Speaking of porch monkey's:

Most white people hate coons. It's only natural. To see every major urban setting completely overrun and destroyed by the apes is reason enough, but then throw in their only contributions to society: rap music, gang rapes, crack rock cocaine, drive-by shootings, ebonix, and the fashion sense of 3-year old retards, and you see they make it quite easy to despise them, especially since the white man has to pay for their gold teeth, housing, food, etc....

The problem is, nobody wants to admit it. It's sad to ask farm animals to behave like humans, to put that kind of pressure on an animal really isn't fair. They need to be kept in a controlled environment. But first their population has got to be thinned out. They shoud make every even numbered day "kill a porch monkey" day, until their herd is manageable, and then we can keep them in zoo's, and in military testing and research facilities where they can be ultimately useful.

you idiot they have ip tracking on this website as if you won't get investigated for that massa

So what, I'm on a computer in a public library....

#34 - crickets

Try getting a table at Dorsia now you fucking asshole!!!

geek massa

@34: "Most white people hate coons" - Yea, I guess that's why the majority of Americans voted for one as the PRESIDENT, with the current white population being around 75% of the total population. Your argument is flawed but I would expect such poor resoning from someone such as yourself.

An by "apologize" what Bale really means is- I wished all of you judgmental nobodies hadn't heard me act like myself and chew out a some miserable peon that was fucking up "my" movie! Then he screams to the NOT the FACE you bitch, not the face... runs back in trailer naked with a chainsaw.

Hey director of photography, so I heard you got an apology from Christian Bale...

OOOOH WELLL GOOOD FOOR YOOOOOOUUU!!!! YOU STUPID FUCKIN' PRICK!!!

...just saw a hilarious video about Larry Flint's PORNO BAILOUT:

http://blog.digitalfuntown.com/dft-blog/2009/2/6/larry-flints-porno-bailout.html?lastPage=true&SSScrollPosition=1191

I splashed a duce this morning that has more importance than Christian Bale.

I love Bale and he is a phenomally passionate actor. He was undergoing a very stressful time with the Batman promotional tour and shooting a multi-million dollar speciall effects movie. Plus Heath Ledger had died and he has to do press about Heath. It was perfectly okay to go off like that as every adult has. Its dissappointing for the kids but then why release this audio to the public, there is no need for this, its something all adults do, but it may be harmful to little kids who don't understand what it is like to have a full-time job and lots of responsibilities.

Christian, it you are still the shit. Even after the audio... and dude probably did deserve it. It's all good. It has provided some fun time in a boring week. I mean if you call my cell and get my voice mail it is simply you saying "seriously man you and me are fucking done professionally". If any of my outbursts ever got caught on audio or video i would probably be locked up. Much love Christian.

Apparently you think Christian Bale is pretty important if you took the time out if your day to make a comment on some gossip blog about him..Have fun with your poopy!

I just lost a bit of respect for Bat-Bale after this apology. Fuck the other guy, he should've been more professional. Bale was a bit overdoing it in his rant, but still, nothing to apologize for.

I still have a man-crush on the Bat-Bale.

Christian Bale can go fuck himself.

i've lost any respect i had for him. christian, you're just an actor, get over yourself!! it's going to be a horrible movie, anyway. such a lowlife.

Back in the day where there was still integrity left in the USA, Bale's career would have taken a major hit after his inexcusable behavior. Now it makes idiots (like #2) like him even more.

Hey, I have certainly gone off like this before, I just used to think that Bale wasn't as big of a dick as I am. Man, am I dissapointed.

Well, at least we know that NOBODY is a bigger dick than Stephen Fowler.

Zandiman @26: dude, you're right. CB gets paid 20 mil for reading a few lines a day. How dare you make him do it twice???!!!

The statement: once an asshole ALWAYS ONE, is true indeed, folks!!

wonder if we are "normalising" war. It's not just that Israel has yet again got away with the killing of hundreds of children in Gaza.

And after its own foreign minister said that Israel's army had been allowed to "go wild" there, it seems to bear out my own contention that the Israeli "Defence Force" is as much a rabble as all the other armies in the region. But we seem to have lost the sense of immorality that should accompany conflict and violence. The BBC's refusal to handle an advertisement for Palestinian aid was highly instructive. It was the BBC's "impartiality" that might be called into question. In other words, the protection of an institution was more important than the lives of children. War was a spectator sport whose careful monitoring – rather like a football match, even though the Middle East is a bloody tragedy – assumed precedence over human suffering.

I'm not sure where all this started. No one doubts that the Second World War was a bloodbath of titanic proportions, but after that conflict we put in place all kinds of laws to protect human beings. The International Red Cross protocols, the United Nations – along with the all-powerful Security Council and the much ridiculed General Assembly – and the European Union were created to end large-scale conflict. And yes, I know there was Korea (under a UN flag!) and then there was Vietnam, but after the US withdrawal from Saigon, there was a sense that "we" didn't do wars any more. Foreigners could commit atrocities en masse – Cambodia comes to mind – but we superior Westerners were exempt. We didn't behave like that. Low-intensity warfare in Northern Ireland, perhaps. And the Israeli-Arab conflict would grind away. But there was a feeling that My Lai had been put behind us. Civilians were once again sacred in the West.

I'm not sure when the change came. Was it Israel's disastrous invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the Sabra and Chatila massacre by Israel's allies of 1,700 Palestinian civilians? (Gaza just missed that record.) Israel claimed (as usual) to be fighting "our" "war against terror" but the Israeli army is not what it's cracked up to be and massacres (Qana comes to mind in 1996 and the children of Marwahine in 2006) seem to come attached to it. And of course, there's the little matter of the Iran-Iraq war between 1980 and 1988 which we enthusiastically supported with weapons to both sides, and the Syrian slaughter of thousands of civilians at Hama and...

No, I rather think it was the 1991 Gulf War. Our television lads and lasses played it for all it was worth – it was the first war that had "theme" music to go with the pictures – and when US troops simply smothered alive thousands of Iraqi troops in their trenches, we learned about it later and didn't care much, and even when the Americans ignored Red Cross rules to mark mass graves, they got away with it. There were women in some of these graves – I saw British soldiers burying them. And I remember driving up to Mutla ridge to show a Red Cross delegate where I had seen a mass grave dug by the Americans, and he looked at the plastic poppy an American had presumably left there and said: "Something has happened."

He meant that something had happened to international law, to the rules of war. They had been flouted. Then came Kosovo – where our dear Lord Blair first exercised his talents for warmaking – and another ream of slaughter. Of course, Milosevic was the bad guy (even though most of the Kosovars were still in their homes when the war began – their return home after their brutal expulsion by the Serbs then became the war aim). But here again, we broke some extra rules and got away with it. Remember the passenger train we bombed on the Surdulica bridge – and the famous speeding up of the film by Jamie Shea to show that the bomber had no time to hold his fire? (Actually, the pilot came back for another bombing run on the train when it was already burning, but that was excluded from the film.) Then the attack on the Belgrade radio station. And the civilian roads. Then the attack on a large country hospital. "Military target," said Jamie. And he was right. There were soldiers hiding in the hospital along with the patients. The soldiers all survived. The patients all died.

Then there was Afghanistan and all that "collateral damage" and whole villages wiped out and then there was Iraq in 2003 and the tens of thousands – or half a million or a million – Iraqi civilians killed. Once more, at the very start, we were back to our old tricks, bombing bridges and radio stations and at least one civilian estate in Baghdad where "we" believed Saddam was hiding. We knew it was packed with civilians (Christians, by chance) but the Americans called it a "high risk" operation – meaning that they risked not hitting Saddam – and 22 civilians were killed. I saw the last body, that of a baby, dug from the rubble.

And we don't seem to care. We fight in Iraq and now we're going back to fight in Afghanistan again and all the human rights and protections appear to have vanished once more. We will destroy villages and we will find that the Afghans hate us and we will form more criminal militias – as we did in Iraq – to fight for us. The Israelis organised a similar militia in their occupation zone in southern Lebanon, run by a crackpot Lebanese army major. But now their own troops "go wild". And the BBC is worried about its "impartiality"?

Don't just stare at it eat it.

Shouldn't it be "INexcusable"?

All you " I understand him; I too am an actor" go fuck off you little fucking babies. Its acting, not rocket science and he was a total tool for going of on that guy who makes about 30-50K for putting up with that shit....FUCK YOU!!!!
Every actor was at some time a fucking hack waitress or parking attendant and now you get a big movie and every word out of your mouth is important. If that pussy pulled that shit any place else he would have had his ass beat. Guess what fuck face....your not that good of an actor and your not doing anyone a big favor by breathing, so go and fucking drive off a cliff and we won't have the hear your fucking accent again.

listen up future actors........Your a nothing now and you will be a nothing in the future and if you do become BIG it won't last forever and you will want people to like you when you end up on a reality show trying to become big again.

NOW GO FUCKING GET MY COFFEE BITCH!!!!!!!

Lol clever marketing. Now everyone will go see terminator.

I thought the rant was good fun, it's like he had infinite rage or something, he just went on and on. Good stuff

I think CB is going thru menopause. he sounds exactly like my menopausal aunt.

Only pedophiles and the terminally insane would pay to go see a movie that:

A)has none of the original cast
B) has been milked to the point of hmm, my unborn child knows the next twist of this plot
C) has some dirty-sanchez-taking-lover as its lead

He isn't a good Christian. He will burn in the sulfur lake for all eternity because Yahweh loves his soul.

I felt bad for everyone on that set when I heard this rant, but I would totally bet Bale just cracked because nobody had the balls or the professional know how to rein the DP in. This tirade was deeply felt and was probably due to repeated insults upon the actor by the DP. What I know from being on set:

Rule #1: You don't break into an Actor's sight line and get caught or you get fired. Rule#2: You don't break into a Director's sight line or you get fired. Some Director's don't even want you to catch their eye in the hallway. Rule#3: A slow fuss budgeting DP can ruin your whole shooting day. Ask yourself: If the lighting WAS bad then what was doofus going to do about it during the scene? Move it? No he has to bring in a Grip (a real man or woman) to do that - and waste a whole lot of time between shots with his fussy dweebiness. Ever watched anyone hem and haw over a light meter for a couple of hours? Then after doofus had his chance, he continues on with the friggin' meter like Rainman? Bale called him a nice guy because he probably was that ineffectual sort of "nice" that can drive a professional person batshit. I can only imagine how long this DP took to set up that shot - and then ruin it. This tirade is not the whole story. A good DP is worth his weight in gold - way more pivotal to the film's success than people might imagine.

Why hasn't Bale taken some of his gazillions and had that cyst on the bridge of his nose removed? It should get its own credit. ...and it's gross
