Christian Bale is a prick. I never respected him ever since that incident involving his wife and mother.
That douche needs anger management.

Look, if I somehow agreed to star in Terminator 4, I'd flip out and swear at everyone too once I'd realized what I'd done. Bale is awesome, but this movie is going to fucking blow.
He definitely needs anger management, but I wouldn't call him a prick. We don't know what he's going through in his personal life. Now, if this is something he regularly does with movie crews and what not, then you can certainly call him a jerk and a prima donna.

He's not a bad guy, hes just all fucked up from the elephant hormones and steroids he's been injecting himself with.

Man, after listening to that I am extremely angry. There is no justification for talking to anyone like that, ever. I would gladly go to jail for punching that doober in the teeth, if he would have talked to me like that. It's not even like Christian Bale is intimidating.
And god, could anyone else not fucking stand the way he talked as Batman in the Dark Knight? I'm not gonna be one of those people who praise every single aspect, shot and sound effect of the movie, because yeah it was a good movie I'll admit that. But I just thought he sounded really fucking silly. Everytime Batman would speak, I just had to laugh because it sounded so goddamn awful.

I agree with josh. There is no justification for acting in the manner he did. It's ok to get angry once in a while, but if you talk down to another person like that, then you deserve a punch in the mouth. Don't know how to work with actors? What a pretentious prick.

Haha. I'm going to start using one of those lines. "You want me to trash your lights!? Fuck with me, I'm trashin' your lights!"
Look, if I somehow agreed to star in Terminator 4, I'd flip out and swear at everyone too once I'd realized what I'd done. Bale is awesome, but this movie is going to fucking blow.
I agree 100%. First off he uses the damn Batman voice and in the second trailer they have that Transformer like Terminator thing.

In case anybody hasn't heard it yet, Bale publicly apologized on live radio a couple of days back. Here's the recording:
Case closed.

I enjoyed that DM, thanks.
As for Bale going off like that, I can understand the anger and frustration, but the person who should be flipping out is the director, not the actor. To be honest, the director should have stopped the whole thing right then and there.
More to the point, Arnold should have kicked the door in, shot everyone with a mini-gun and fucking ended this horrible nightmare.

His apology sounds quite sincere.
That being said I think he might be lying about it being an amazing film.

I loved all the times we was trying to refrain from swearing. I do that at times myself.
I also appreciated the support for Phelps. Oddly irrelevant, but I agree with his thoughts completely.
All in all, It was a good apology and it did seem truthful and sincere.
RIP Hacker.

Gosh, I remember when T3 came out and I almost cried when the film was over BECAUSE IN T2 JUDGEMENT DAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE STOPPED. Fuck.
I will still see this on the first weekend though. I think it's weird that this is going to take place in some scenes in daytime, which is another story flaw. Everyone knows that they only fight at night. And I assume that Cameron has nothing to do with this movie.
This is starting to feel like the Alternate 1985.

Gah, T3 sucked with Schwarzenegger. How can a most likely just as crappy sequel be any better without him?

I really can understand his anger. I had to help a band record one time because their bassist was sick, and the guy recording kept making us re-play the same damned song around 20 times because he'd keep messing up, or forgetting to hit the record button, or not sync up the mics right... Keep in mind I play with my fingers instead of a pick, so after about 8 hours, 20+ unsuccessful takes, and bleeding fingers I ripped out the guy, and left. It's probably very frustrating considering how much set-up there needs to be in a movie like that, and how they have to say the same lines over and over just cause some guy doesn't learn from his mistakes.
So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.
