    how many of you would love to go off on a co-worker like that without getting fired?

    That's what I figure... anyone here who says they never wanted or thought about going off like that during a shit day at work is lying. He's just lucky enough to be in a position where he can get away with it.

    As said, he went off, just like many here wish they could do to their co-workers. Was it over the top?? sure was it entertaining?? sure... is it news??? hell no.

    I wouldn't know this fucker if he punched me in the face and cussed me like that, but Letterman got one of his "phone calls" from him in the middle of the show and Bale gave him a good tongue lashing.

    some people need to get off their high horse. ever talk to a cop about their work? im sure everyone could tell a story about giving a speeding ticket that ended like the bale rant.

    i have an idea anyone that swears and put down another person gets shipped to the moon. that way all us perfect people can live happily on earth :roll:

    I agree that he is an absolute prick, but I can't ignore that the movies he makes are generally pretty good. Lets face it, there are tons of actors and musicians who are horrible, egotistical people, but you can ignore it if what they produce is worthwhile. Russell Crowe is a complete asshole as well, but his movies are good so I overlook it.

    Serious how can you watch his movies now and not think of this outburst. I hope he gets run out of Hollywood.

    I always knew he was a dickhead. Apparently on Empire of the Sun he was a precocious little shit and he was only 10. That said he's a great actor. And I can't wait for T4 :D

    I agree with you both, and anyone who says he isn't a good actor hasn't watched The Machinist.

    I watch movies to be entertained. Not to judge a person, who may very well be a true asshole in real life, by a five minute sound bite of him (probably) at his very worst. I don't know Christian Bale, and from my experience, making snap judgments about what a person does when I don't know the whole story, usually makes me look silly.

    Exactly, an amazing movie. What is more impressive is that he pretty much starved himself under he had wasted away to practically nothing and then put on about 100 pounds for batman. Granted personal trainers had something to do with that I am sure.

    I think prick is putting it mildly :roll: and I'm sure he's probably not the first one either to treat someone like shit :roll: I would never see one of his movies again :evil: :twisted:

    Wish you were here...

    Kinda gives you a different perspective. Doesn't seem like a prick on the radio. Plus he's an advocate for Michael Phelps :lol:
