If you ever bump into Christian Bale here are some words of advice. Stay on the actors good side. Bale recently went basaltic on the set of Terminator 4 where he lashed out on someone on the set for over 4 minutes.

Bale starts the tirade by declaring:

"I'm trying to do a fking scene here and I'm going, 'Why the fk is Shane walking in there? What's he doing there?' Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?"

And that, folks, is just the beginning. For the entire audio watch this clip from Youtube. Keep in mind that Bale uses profanity in the following soundbite:

How fun. He mentions the name "Shane" and that he's the "DP" (Director of Photography) so it appears he's yelling at this poor schmuck:

This was upsetting to listen to. NO one deserves this kind of treatment. Bale needs anger management help before he hurts someone.

Heck yeah, Christian Bale was over the top, but isn't there supposed to be someone coordinating the staff during a shoot? Why would Shane ruin two shots? Of course, we can't tell if it was two in a row or two completely separate events. I'm left wondering if Christian was just being a hot-head or if the environment of the shoot was just so unprofessional that he didn't know who to turn to in order to address the problem. Also, I wish he'd used some of that angry voice in the last Batman movie, because it's scary.
