Re: After hearing this, I may never pay to see another Christian Bale movie again.
I just think it's funny that being a method actor is somehow an excuse for being a complete asshole. I mean, I'm not going to boycott him simply because he's a douchebag. He's usually a decent actor, when he doesn't get totally wrapped up in doing the raspy Batman voice (if Batman's suit is so advanced why can't it be equipped with a voice modulator?).
I've done a fair bit of theater and method acting, which is still quite different from what he's doing on a professional level. But you don't go raving like that at somebody who makes a mistake, regardless of what it is or how often they've done it. Leave it up to the director, and be professional about it, regardless.
