He's dedicated and when other people are less so and actually effect his performance he gets angry. Rightly so.
yeah, you're right. he should be able to eat children and kick dogs too cause he can lose weight and gain it fast.
listen, he's a good actor and he's been in some good movies and there have been consequences to that. he's gotten rich, famous, and attained numerous accolades.
after this incident he has also gotten consequences. maybe not nearly as good.
i frankly don't know what the situation was, but your line of logic is so damn stupid.
I don't think I could even string together enough cussing for 4 minutes
Being good and dedicated at acting does not give anybody the right to cuss out another person for 4 minutes by openly insulting him and his career in front of an audience because they walked across a scene. How is that equivalent to "ripping out all the lights"?.
However, he did apologize, though the key part of this is whether he will do it again or not.

Because yelling at your co-worker is the same as eating babies and kicking dogs. And my logic is stupid. How can you not differentiate between verbal and physical actions. The law does and he did nothing wrong. Good luck to the guy trying to sue him.

The law doesn't prohibit against threats of violence? It's called assault. He could go to jail, but the man is being generous by only suing him for verbal abuse [or some shit].
LOL that remix was so damn funny. Seriously though, photographer is a dumbass for doing that, but it was not necessary for Bale to spazz out like that.
Both were obviously in the wrong but Bale took it wayyyyyyyy too far.

That's a pretty damn dumb excuse regardless. Focusing on your job isn't a valid excuse to completely flip out. But that being said, so what if he flips out? Everyone does here and there, I fail to see the need to harp on this issue. Maybe he was staying in character with Terminator's neuronet processor registering emotional overload causing nerdrage of WoW's Onyxia Wipe Raid leading proportions.

no. your logic was because he was a good actor that his actions should be excused. that's what was stupid about that. and that's why this even happened in the first place. if bale was and this shane guy was at the same status, bale would have gotten his ass kicked several times over because what he did was clearly wrong.

shitty comparison man
come on, acting is FEELINGS
coding is NERD LOGIC
from NERD LOGIC ITLL BE HARD TO FLIP OUT, but when u are in a extremely emotional state brought upon by acting, its dif man. Its personal.
tough SHIT!
bale is the man, as long as he aint violent and its all verbal its LOL!
douchebag
Second of all, you make the argument that being interrupted while acting will result in a more emotional response. Yes, this is physiologically true, but that emotional burst of adrenaline will lasts about ~1 minute. The Bale tantrum lasted about 5 minutes; it was not some emotional knee-jerk. He made the volitional decision, in his right state of mind, to throw his weight around, as he sees his right to express as more important than anything else. That's a sign of bad character.
wow i honestly thought that the majority of TL would be able to understand why Bale got so fucking upset since we're all very passionate about something most people couldn't care less about.
i thought that years of personal experience with people going "you take this video game too seriously lol" would make you people understand that certain things matter so much to some people and if you mess with them while they are concentrated they would get pissed off.
wow TL likes to act all calm and high and mighty so much it makes me sick. can you guys seriously not relate to Bale? if you're playing a Bo5 and its 2:2 and you just got reaver dropped and you're frantically trying to move your workers out of the way while expanding AND reaver dropping your opponent at the same time, and some guy comes up behind you and goes "lol dude you got owned by a reaver" would you not be pissed off as fucking hell shit? Needless to say he's a professional actor doing the biggest scene in the movie.
lol att all the people who say he shouldn't care cuz it's terminator. it's that same attitude of not taking anything seriously that people around you will observe. i hate people that think "oh i can dick around with this assignment cuz it doesnt really matter, i'll just be serious when a more important assignment comes" cuz people see how you do in everything.
ugh nvm.
did nobody read the article posted or is everyone ray charles? or is everyone too self conscious about their image that you have to pretend like you're the calmest, coolest motherfucker and would never lose your temper for anything.
i think it's really unfair to annoy someone till they blow up and record that and then only release that clip without any background info or before and after. that would be like someone videoing me killing another person brutally but doesnt mention that they murdered my whole family. then the whole internet blows up and makes remixes of the video of my killing the guy.
i mean i can easily be the biggest dick to my teacher in uni then he blows up and swears at me and i get my friend to video it and post it all over the place but i never tell anyone i started it. i could probably get away with it and get the teacher embarrassed like shit but that would be such a dickshit move.
stop being so pretentious and realize that anyone can have a bad day and lose their temper. shit HEATH LEDGER DIED! hello??? batman and joker? did everyone forget that movie already?
no one is being pretentious. you need to get off your high horse yourself and listen to the five minute long audio clip again. if you honestly think that that was an acceptable response, then i pray you have some form of therapy to quell the raging volcano of anger inside of you.

THat's not his logic you troll, always trying to argue over bullshit. His argument was that as a serious actor Bale's actions can be UNDERSTOOD in the context of what he was fucking doing because he was in the most emotional and pivotal scene of the film and the veteran lights-man who's supposed to know better than to fuck with lights during a scene, let alone such an emotional scene, decides to fuck up the whole take. Yes, his behavior was over the top, but its UNDERSTANDABLE. That was the point. Nothing about excusable. Jesus.

oh i'm sorry, he was in the most pivotal and emotional scene of the most epic movie since the titantic but guess what, shane was doing his job as well. it's not like he was thinking 'oh gee, this is the most important scene in the movie for bale so i guess i'll diddy daddy in front of his view and piss him off'.
seriously, fuck off with that shit. you're a fucking idiot of you think there's a difference between being understood and being excused. who gives a fuck if his actions can be understood or not.

So.... Since bale is allowed to scream at the DP for 5+ minutes I assume the DP can return the favor and they can go and knock each other out?
He overreacted. End of story. You only berate somebody like that if you find out your best friend is sleeping with your gf. Not when you lose a starcraft 2:2 match or you have a bad day.
