Somebody needs to type up a full transcript of that rant.

Cig is going to take offense to the abuse that gaffers take.

I didn't know he was Welsh. And having heard that I couldn't tell if he had a really bad English or American accent.

lulz

Wow, what a big time star. :rolleyes:

HAHAH. He really is insane. Explains his skills in American psyhco well.

prick status confirmed.

FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE

i would transcript it but i have terrible grammar

*sigh* I'll do it, I type fast, give me a minute.

A transcript already exists:

Christian Bale: KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS!

Shane Hurlbut: Christian, Christian –

Bale: I want you off the fucking set you prick!

Shane: Christian, I'm sorry.

Bale: No, don't just be sorry, think for one fucking second. What the FUCK are you DOING ? Are you professional or not?

Shane: Yes I am.

Bale: Do I fucking walk around and rip down –

Bruce Franklin: Christian, Christian –

Bale: No, shut the fuck up Bruce! Do I want - no! No! Don't shut me up.

Franklin: I'm not shutting you up.

Bale: Am I going to walk around and rip your fucking lights down, in the middle of a scene? Then why the fuck are you walking right through? Ah da da dah, like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? What don't you fucking understand?

Shane: (inaudible)

Bale: You got any fucking idea about, hey, it's fucking distracting having somebody walking up behind Bryce in the middle of the fucking scene? Give me a fucking answer! What don't you get about it?

Shane: I was looking at the light.

Bale: Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was fucking good, because it's useless now, isn't it?

Shane: Ok.

Bale: Fuck-sake man, you're amateur. McG, you got fucking something to say to this prick?

McG: I didn't see it happen.

Bale: Well, somebody should be fucking watching and keeping an eye on him.

McG: Fair enough.

Bale: It's the second time that he doesn't give a FUCK about what is going on in front of the camera, alright? I'm trying to fucking do a scene here, and I am going "Why the fuck is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there?" Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?

Shane: I absolutely apologize. I'm sorry, I did not mean anything by it.

Bale: Stay off the fucking set man. For fuck-sake. Alright, let's go again.

McG: Let's just take a minute.

Bale: Let's not take a fucking minute, let's go again. And have YOU fucking walking in! Can I have Tom put this on please.

Franklin: Can I have Tom in wardrobe please? Can I have Tom in wardrobe?

Bale: You're unbelievable, you're un-fucking-believable. Number of times you're strolling-a-fucking around in the background. I've never had a DP behave like this. Ehhh…you don't fucking understand what it's like working with actors, that's what that is.

Shane: No, that's –

Bale: That's what that is man, I'm telling you. I'm not asking, I'm telling you. You wouldn't have done that otherwise.

Shane: No, what it is, is looking at the light and making sure, that you are, ugh –

Bale: I'M GOING TO FUCKING KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS IF YOU DON'T SHUT FOR A SECOND! ALRIGHT?

Unknowns: Christian, Christian. It's cool.

Bale: I'm going to go…Do you want me to fucking go trash your lights? DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING TRASH YOUR? Then why are you trashing my scene?

Shane: I'm not trying to trash your scene.

Bale: You are trashing my scene!

Shane: Christian, I was only –

Bale: You do it one more fucking time and I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired. I'm fucking serious. You're a nice guy. You're a nice guy, but that don't fucking cut it when you're bullshitting and fucking around like this on set.

McG: Alright, I know, let's, let's — (inaudible) –

Bale: Yeah, you might get it. He doesn't fucking get it.

McG: I got it, I know. I get it. I get it. I know.

Bale: You might. He. Does. Not. Get It.

McG: We made good adjustments. For real, honestly. I get it. Just walk for five seconds.

Bale: No, I don't need any fucking walking. He needs to stop walking.

McG: I get that –

Bale: I ain't the one walking. Let's get Tom and put this back on and let's go again. Seriously man, you and me, we're fucking done professionally. Fucking ass.

Wow, glad I just finished it.

Well, at least that one has names.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTihsJQHt48 the internet beat me to it :<

hah, I needed that.

Hahah and so it begins. One can only wonder how many parodies and spoofs will arise as a result of that audio clip.

I'm scared...

Ironically, my brother is letting off similar aggression downstairs about school.

You should be recording him.

Much better than what I was gonna suggest.

Oh come on. It's funny, but as if none of you have ever fucking lost it and let loose a torrent of expletives strung together in almost nonsensical order.

I can honestly say that I never have lost it like that. Some of us have control and don't get roid rage.

I have no camera and he wouldn't let me near him for it. I went to try to talk to him (he's upset that "everyone at school thinks he's a geek") and he screamed at me to "get the f*** away! You'll just make things worse!"

He's mostly done screaming now. Just moaning. At least I won't have to see him for the rest of the evening (I'm in my room).

This made me laugh the really hard

It's a terminator movie, how much does his "mind" needs to be in any scene. Hell, if Arnold could make it work I'm sure Bale should have no problem.

I like to replay this thinking the interuped scene was a sex scene. Imagine him yelling at a lighting director doing his best to light the mood and Bale with a not so impressive or convincing woody. LOL!

Whenever we go to see that movie (and I'm certain we will, somehow), this is all I'll be able to think of.

Do you think there will be any consequences to this, though? Will people actually think twice about hiring him, or is this more publicity?

Isn't his costar Ron Howard's daughter? That'd be a bad director to alienate.

I heard on the "news" that "supposedly" the execs released that tape in case Christian decides to "Bale" on the film.

I don't know what that means. Maybe he is going through actors block and freaking out and maybe they don't want to pay him if he sucks.

To be fair, being an actor's a very stressful job. Considering how popular Bale is, he probably has a lot of stuff to keep track of workwise plus he has to deal with the fans following him around and other such stuff. I've had a couple of days when I've been really stressed and just suddenly cry. He was probably just stressed and freaked out.

And yes, Bryce Dallas Howard is Ron Howard's daughter, named after the hotel and city she was conceived in. Didn't know she was in that movie though.
