I’ve had friends in the mountains of Papua New Guinea and in some impenetrable spot in the Amazon jungle e-mail me about Christian Bale’s expletive-filled blowup on the Terminator Salvation set last July. (That was around the time the actor was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister in London.)
For those who have spent the day somewhere in Orion, let me briefly explain what happened:
Suddenly, last f#$%ing summer, Bale had a f#*ing scene ruined by director of photography Shane Hurlbut (nominated for an American Society of Cinematographers award in 1998 for the TV movie The Rat Pack), who walked within Bale’s f$#*ing field of vision throwing him off character. Bale went f*@$ng ballistic, cursing the d.p. for a good three never-ending f#!*ing minutes — never mind who or what was f$%*ing watching. (Among those were co-star Bryce Dallas Howard, director McG, and assistant director Bruce Franklin, who has since defended the actor.)
The problem is that someone recorded what Bale did last summer. And that f$#*ing recording has been leaked online. And that has led some creative people to come up with various artistic/parodic versions of the unartistic/unfunny Bale Blowup.
If the word "fuck" offends you, skip the videos, though the top two have some catchy music (Barbra Streisand is the Special F*#$ing Guest Star in the topmost video), while in the bottom video Bale loses it because the Craft service guy failed to bring him his favorite donut. ("No, I don’t want a bagel! … No, I don’t need any fucking walking! I want a donut right now!)
Now, I’m eagerly awaiting the Paul Rudd-Michael Showalter Bale Blast parody. See here their hilarious take on the Lily Tomlin-David O. Russell Class Act during the making of I Heart Huckabees.

And let’s not forget The Bullying Institute guidelines. (According to Washington state’s Department of Labor, workplace bullying is behavior that "intimidates, degrades, offends, or humiliates a worker, often in front of others. Bullying behavior creates feelings of defenselessness in the target and undermines an individual’s right to dignity at work.")

People try to justify Bale’s behavior, explaining away that the actor was tired, was working on an “intense” scene, he was just being a “professional” who expected professional behavior from others and all that bullshit.
Sure. So Bale’s behavior was super professional, wasn’t it? And sure, the guy has never made a stupid mistake while making a movie. He’s never ruined any takes. Hell no.
Also, I wonder if Bale was only a supporting role and not the Star if he’d have had the guts to act like a freaking diva on the set. Had he been either stupid or crazy enough to do so – and I doubt that he would – the guy would be out of a film job for life.
The only reason why he acted like a total asshole is because he knew he could get away with it.
