After hearing this, I may never pay to see another Christian Bale movie again.

I just don't care. People don't need to be treated that way. If he was having a problem there were better ways to deal with it; regardless of if he'd already given a warning. All he had to say was 'I can't work like this when somebody keeps ******* with the lights. I'm done filming today until it gets sorted out.' But he went on an all out vicious attack directed specifically at the guy. I'm actually really surprised that so many people consider it excusable.

And yeah, it's obviously been sensationalized and the media will make a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be. But the audio speaks for itself, and taken out of context or not it is what it is. He had ever right to be upset, but he took it way too far.

I doubt Bale's attack would have been as vicious if it wasn't for the scene he was doing. Being a former actor in theater, I know very well how much of yourself you can put in a role, and how exhausting it can be. I'm not surprised at the reaction, and its also not something all that new to actors who are "method".

To me, if some assclown kept putzing around while I'm trying to call up some tortured part of my soul, I'd likely have castrated him with my bare hands.
