[Note: In my professional opinion, reading this post while listening to this Remix takes the entire experience to the next level.]
This week, audio from the set of Terminator: Salvation took the Internet by storm. Apparently, Christian Bale lost his temper, and said some not-so-nice things to the Director of Photography, Shane Hurlbut. To get a little perspective, we’re bringing you Shane’s version of the events that lead up to those fateful three minutes.
Sooooo fuckin’ stoked, today. I applied to be the Director of Photography for the new Terminator movie and I just got the call- I GOT IT! I’m so balls-to-the-walls amped about this because CHRISTIAN MOTHERFUCKING BALE is gonna be in this movie! We’re gonna work together and probably hang out, literally, every day and night. No lie, we’re probably gonna become totally best bros after this because I’m one of, if not, the most talented Directors of Photography in the greater Burbank area. He’s gonna be so impressed with my DP’ing and we’re gonna turn into like a mad powerful Hollywood duo, like makin’ deals every day. This is gonna be the best summer ever, which is why I’m keeping this set journal for pictures and my thoughts or whatever. This journal’s probably gonna be literally real expensive someday when Christian Bale and I are running Hollywood like it’s no big deal.
DAY 1
I totally got a picture with Christian Bale today and it was fucking awesome. He didn’t know it was being taken or whatever but that’s cool, because he was like mad nice afterwards and he was all “In the future, please don’t take a picture when I’m in the middle of a conversation with someone else.”
He’s saying “in the future” because I think he knows how tight were gonna be. Next movie’s gonna The Adventures of Batman and Shane, ya heard?
DAY 3
Christian is such a totally cool dude. I got him to sign a whole bunch of shit today, INCLUDING my copy of The Batman Movie on VHS. I was like, “Sign my The Batman Movie, dude, I think you’re mad good,” and at first he was like, “That isn’t me.” And I’m all, “I know dude, it’s The mysterious Batman, right? Nah, for real sign it,” then I gave him a wink. And he said, “No, you don’t understand,” and I’m like “No, dude, I get it. It’s cool, your secret’s safe with me,” and then I winked at him a few more times and he signed it. It’s like he was still in character and didn’t want anyone to know he was Batman. That’s like method acting and shit. I studied a little acting, and I’m pretty good at it, so I totally get where he’s coming from and totally respect him for it.
DAY 8
No lie, today was literally the best day of my life. We were filming a scene for the Terminator movie and C-Bale (I think it’s safe to call him “C-Bale” now because we’re basically like best bros, we’re gonna hang out), he, like, shot this robot in the head or whatever and was being intense in the movie and I was like, “Yo, I bet his heart is beating mad fast right now,” so I snuck in so you could barely see me and I captured the sound of his heartbeat for the audio.
Everybody was real impressed and the sound is so fucking intense. Not to brag or anything, but I’d make a seriously great sound engineer, I’m just great with natural sounds, you know? Everyone always says so. I’m like a painter but the paint is sound, and the canvas is like a microphone and the paintbrushes are also sounds. Anyway they have to film that same scene again tomorrow for some reason, so I think I might try to get a different angle on his heartbeat.
DAY 11
Surprised C-Bale at his house today at like 2 AM to go partying. He wasn’t in the mood to party. We’ll probably go tomorrow or whatever.
DAY 15
C-Bale was a little weird today, I don’t know what his deal was. The thing was, he was doing this real close-up scene with this other guy in the movie and they were talking and arguing about the robots (or maybe the one dude was a robot), and it was all intense but I was thinking to myself like, “Yo, there’s mad glare comin’ off C-Bale’s head and whatnot,” because there was mad glare, and it was real bright. And I’m all, “Who’s in charge of that,” but, check it, I’m in charge of that. So, I didn’t want to stop the acting or whatever so I just used myself to block some of the light because, and I’m not trying to kiss my own ass or anything, but I’m a totally resourceful DP/light technician, everybody always says so. Some people would try to find blinders or splashers or whatever but I thought, “I don’t have blinders or splashers, I just have me,” so instead of standing around like an idiot with my ass in my mouth looking for splashers, I just used myself to block the light, I wasn’t even in the way.
Anyway C-Bale pulled me aside later, ’cause we’re mad tight and all, and he’s like, “I appreciate what you did but, in the future, I’d rather have a little bit of space while we’re filming the scenes. I’m not at all trying to be rude or condescending, but it can just be a bit distracting when someone who isn’t in the scene shows up in the scene, do you understand?” And I didn’t, but I’m all, “You the man, C-Bale! Bat Blimp!” And he goes, “We didn’t actually have a Bat Blimp,” but it’s cool, because we’re totally tight.
DAY 21
We were having more lighting problems in the movie or whatever, so I had to step into the scene again while my boy C-Bale was doin’ his thing (thang), and I messed with the lights and everything and I think it made the movie look literally a million times better because, and I’m not just trying to tickle my own balls here, I’m a totally great light designer. People are always coming up to me on sets like, “Seriously that was the best fucking lighting I’ve ever fucking seen in my entire fucking life and I’m like Steve Spielberg or whatever.” Literally.
But then anyway, so I’m standing around set like right after I finished doing the lights and I’m like SHIT, because I remember C-Bale telling me about how it’s distracting when someone’s in the scene but not in the movie, or whatever. So I figured the only thing to do would be to, like, pretend I’m in the movie , right, so he’d forget that I was Shane the DP, and he’d think I was just one of the guys, chillin’ out, fightin’ robots. So that’s what I did. I stopped being Shane the DP, and I started being one of his soldiers or whatever, chillin’ out and fightin’ robots. Check me out, doing both of those things:
Right? No lie, I’ve never done any professional acting before, but I think I nailed it. I was just like, “Okay, Shane-Dog, pretend you’re kicking mad robots and shit” and then that shit just came out of me like I’m Guy Pearce or whatever, kicking robots. I’m a really great DP and everything and I love my work, but if the right project came along I seriously think I might consider starring in a movie. Me and C-Bale were talking about doing a movie together. Or not talking about it, but we’re gonna have a meeting together to discuss. I am going to mention it to him.
DAY 22
Yo, C-Bale is such a fucking dick. He must’ve woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or he must’ve been on some serious drugs or something because he totally absolutely lost his shit today on set. I don’t know what his problem was. I was just doing my job like I always do. It’s like because he’s a fucking “actor” or whatever he doesn’t realize how important the DP is. If it wasn’t for me, this whole movie would be totally dark and soundless and everyone would go to the theater and be like, “Hey, what the shit, this Christian Bale movie is like totally dark and soundless, what gives?” That’s why I’m around, to make sure the lights happen and everything. What I was doing today was setting up his fucking lights. That’s my job. That’s all I was doing. My job. See?
So excuuuuse me if my job was getting in the way of your “acting” or whatever. And you know what’s worse? I was cheering him on the whole time. No lie, I used to do Ultimate Frisbee in college (no lie, I was great) and it always helped me when people would cheer me on. They’d be all, “Shane-Dog you’re the man” and I’d be all, “I am” and then I’d rock ass at Ultimate like it was no big deal. So as soon as McDonalds shouted “ACTION,” I started cheering on Christian because we’re bros and that’s what bros do. I was like, “Yeah! Act, Christian, you act the fuck outta that scene! Act all over Ron Howard’s daughter like it ain’t no thing.” So here I am, supporting my bro and setting up the lights because it’s my job, and out of nowhere this dude flips out with his whole, “You’re unprofessional and I’m Batman and we’re done” bullshit. In front of everybody. No offense dude, but I think it was you who was unprofessional. I’m pretty sure there’s no scene in Terminator where John Connor is supposed to look at the DP and start screaming at him like a big stupid baby (but, no lie, there might be a scene like that. I didn’t know what scene we were in and I still haven’t read the script.). Seriously, Christian, it’s cool ’cause we’re bros now and everything, but you were, no lie, acting like a total Diva. He was whining and I’m like, “Bale? This dude’s such a diva, it’s more like Baleyoncé, am I right?” I mean, I didn’t say that at the time, but you get the idea, he was totally being a divabitch superbaby. And I totally woulda kicked his ass, too, because you can’t talk to me like that and I’ve been in a ton of fights, but he had, like, mad security guards happening and I’m not even trying to get quadrupled-teamed by a bunch of ‘roided out security guards, so I’m like “Peace” and got fired and whatnot.

Its funny how Shane Hurlbut looks 23 in the pictures but he’s really 46 and has a droopy chin. But it was much funnier as a young boy.
July 28th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
This is hilarious, and probably closer to the truth than people believe.
Seriously, this DP broke a pro actors line of sight, and made EYE contact!
That’s seriously a huge, huge fuck up, he should have been castrated.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Okay, this column is hilarious even 3 months after the incident. But, I wonder, is that Stacy chick a plant? Like is that really a cracked staffer posting that to make this even funnier? Cause that level of stupidity in writing is just dongtacular.

March 22nd, 2009 at 10:27 am
your fucking rediculous! i mean at first i thought christian bale was kinda being a dick, but now that i hear your side, i would have fucking screamed at you everyday if you were on the set. i listened to the incident on youtube, and you were a fucking little prick. christian or (c-bale) as you like to call him because you guys are “best friends…practically bros” had every rigth to yell and scream and bitch slap yo ass! reading this bullshit was soo painful to my vocabulary, and i think if you say “mad” one more time in a sentence, i would have kicked your ass you annoying little fuck. like seriously a brilliant actor and person like christian bale doesnt want your loser self messing with the scene, you get the fuck away and stop acting like your the shit, your job could be done by a fucking five year old and your piece of shit attitude is the reason no one likes you and you to post this blog saying wat a dick christian bale is, really, your just a loser who is not any where near as talented or gifted as bale, so shove this piece of shit blog up your stupid ass and see if anyone gives a shit about you in a year, christian bale will always be remembered as a fucking amazing actor, and you will be still writing on your stupid blog and trying to make it as a person, so go fuck a goat!!!
sincerely

It sounds like the little fairy deserved a bitch fest from Christian. This whole “journal” is so bunk. After the fact? How about you stop being an idiot, put your tail between your legs and go back to work. You make 10xs what a normal american does, you should drink his piss and be happy you little punk
February 20th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
i though it was funny when you got past how FUCKING annoying it was to hear the way that dude talked. but i sp’ose thats the point.
February 19th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Hey DOB, guess what? The only scenes of The Dark Knight that were worth two shits were the ones with Heath Ledger. There’s a reason no one else got nominated for an Oscar. Bale sucked, and still sucks. He sounded like he was gargling balls when he growled his lines as Batman. It was fucking stupid and distracting. Bale is ABSOLUTELY nothing special as an actor, and does NOT have the right to get all pissy when he has to take a scene twice due to an honest mistake by a guy who gets paid probably a fraction of what he does. What an asshole.
how do you like them apples?
February 11th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
I’m so glad someone finally posted something making fun of Shane instead of Christian Bale. Sure, Christian Bale overreacted a little, but we’ve all done such things and we’re all human. Shane is completely unprofessional and I doubt he’ll have an easy time getting a job in the future.
This is really hilarious, and I completely enjoyed it XD. Cookies for you!

February 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
“…an actor of Bale’s calibur should be used to having lots of production crew members doing all kinds of things during takes; it’s their jobs to be doing those things on the set…”
If he’s so used to being on the set with people working and he has never had an outburst before, obviously this time the DP was causing problems and not doing his job correctly.

February 10th, 2009 at 2:35 am
Christian Bale is a dick. I care very little he is an accomplished actor. No one should speak to anyone that way– and he’s not that great. There is no doubt he had a problem..he handled it like a girl. He reacted. And he isn’t pretty.
No way. I say banish him. It won’t happen. The world is continuing to give him press. Life couldn’t be better for Bale..
February 10th, 2009 at 2:20 am
Fuck you all!
February 10th, 2009 at 12:03 am
xDD I didn’t notice it before but is he naked in that last one, with his junk blurred out? That’s awesome. I was wondering how cracked would react to the Cbale freakout (I’ve been calling him that since before this article, which is weird…) and I was not let down.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:19 pm

February 9th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I do agree that Christian Bale was out of line when he freaked out. He clearly lost his temper and exploded at his DP. That kind of behavior is unprofessional, and there are better ways to deal with things like that, including taking him aside privately after the shoot and discussing it with him.
That being said, I can also see how a man who has been under a lot of pressure, working hard, and getting frustrated could respond like that, especially if this was the 30th or 40th time they’ve done that scene. (I don’t really know what the standard number of takes for a given movie scene is, but since they like to get shots from a number of angles and adjust a hundred different little things, I figure its pretty high).
We tend to hold people in the public eye to a higher standard than we tend to hold others, expecting them to exemplify our ideals and completely justify the pleasure we take in watching them on film, by being perfect human beings. Yes, Bale was out of line, but it is a moment of weakness, as we are all prone to. Its said that he has publicly apologized, and odds are it was a sincere apology because when most of us lose are cool we tend to feel pretty bad afterward. So long as incidents like these remain isolated, I’m willing to give Mr. Bale the benefit of the doubt, as I expect, most people are.
February 9th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Would any of you have the guts to say that to say his face though? The last thing anyone wants to do when a bull goes on a rampage is talk about what an asshole the bull is.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Murphy said: “People need to chill out. Normal people do shit like this every day…” Yeah, not really, at all. Maybe complete fucking assholes might act like a complete fucking asshole every day, but not “normal” people. Christian Bale was acting like an asshole, and was out of line. That’s not how you deal with people. Not unless you’re being a complete fucking asshole. If a coworker did that shit to me, I wouldn’t excuse it as being a normal activity for normal people, I would consider that coworker an unprofessional cock, and a complete asshole. Bale loses.
February 9th, 2009 at 4:22 am
well the fact is a day of production costs is alot of money and time for both the actor and the studio, what this DP cost them was probably more than he was making for this movie anyway. also, CB is probably a person who hates dumb people doing dumb shit, and i totally understand that.
February 9th, 2009 at 2:43 am
# Travis Says:
February 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I have been on many sets and have to say that I think Bale is more in-the-wrong for his outburst than a DP would be walking around behind the camera or adjusting the lights. The DP’s job doesn’t stop when the cameras start rolling. He is in charge of all the cameras, and lights, and all the other effects that go on during each and every shot of the movie, and a lot more. Furthermore, an actor of Bale’s calibur should be used to having lots of production crew members doing all kinds of things during takes; it’s their jobs to be doing those things on the set, and it’s an actors job to “act” like they are a real person in a real location no matter what is going on around them. Even if the DP was distracting and out of line, it isn’t Bale’s place to repremand him. It is the director’s, and clearly McG didn’t think it was such a big deal.
——–
Bale has never done it before because he has worked on productions with better DP’s. He flew off the handle at the DP of Into the Blue, Swing Vote and Drumline who was told repeatedly to not walk into the ‘anchor’ scene of the film. If this dude did it to Brando, Brando would of knifed him, Day Lewis would break his legs.
McG didn’t think it was a big deal because he’s the director of the Charlie’s Angles movies and would know filmmaking if it raped him in the mouth.

February 8th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Dude,
I am totally disheartened by CB’s outburst and have lost a trememdous amount of respect for him over this incident. However, in reading your journal I can somewhat understand his anger. If he had just left the outburst out and gotten you fired everything would have turned out better. If you are walking into scenes to check lights while the scene is playing out then find another career my friend because I have to believe this will happen to you again, and again, and again
Have a good life.
February 8th, 2009 at 8:27 am
DOB: Thank you for the explanation. It was the Ameriwelsh that weirded me out.
Hello: “Welsch” may be spelt “Welsh,” but “dissapoint” is spelt “disappoint”. Sorry.
February 8th, 2009 at 4:04 am
I can’t believe people didn’t see something like this coming from Bale. He’s one of the most intense actors out there. I don’t find it at all surprising that he’d flip out like that. Plus, every celebrity has one of these moments, and this was his. People need to chill out. Normal people do shit like this every day, but as soon as a celebrity does it they come under intense scrutiny. That’s horseshit, that is.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:42 am
A few points (ahem*):
-Bale has been the shit since “Empire of the Sun,” fucking brilliant actor. Also, “The Machinist” was good.
-This guy deserved what he got, period.
-All of you know that at no matter what job you’ve had, you have had that one day where you wanted to flip the fuck out, but didn’t because you would be fired. If anything he should be envied because he has the luxury of being able to verbalize his stress when he does have a ridiculously bad day.
-@Rav (and others like him (her?)): It’s a bit petty to profess your “loss of respect” for a celebrity over the internet, even on the prestigious Cracked.com. Also, the fact that you “lost your respect for him” over him yelling at a stranger and not when he allegedly beat up his family is kinda weird.
-That’s all.
*(Is it really “pretentious” of me that I used the word “ahem” and a bunch of quotation marks, or is it pretentious of you all for not using them first?)

When you got the ultimate frisby part I just said “fuck it” and killed the inner diologue voice and read the rest on mute.
That shit was annonying.
February 7th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I think we could all live a little easier if we could accept the fact that humans have human emotions and oftentimes lose their shit as a result. Yeah, it’s nice to have laws and social etiquette and all, but you cut someone off in traffic and give them a finger for their trouble, sometimes they catch up and fuck you in the face with a shotgun slug. No, shooting people in the face isn’t the best reaction to upsetting stimuli, but you can’t paint the asshole driver as sympathetic either.

What about Shane Hurlbut’s quiet pants pissing in that audio clip made you characterize him as a 20-year-old douche with J-lo glasses? Where did this come from?
February 7th, 2009 at 8:48 am
I just noticed; it looks like your Hurlbut peed his pants in the last photo.
February 7th, 2009 at 8:42 am
The back story on this is that that…
1. Hurlbutt had been asked *repeatedly* not to be a distraction by adjusting the lights during a take. Bale finally lost it.
2. Yes, this happened months ago.
3. I don’t know why this is coming out now (in Hollywood, any PR is good PR?), but I do know the only reason the audio remained, to be leaked, was that the Studio held on to it for insurance purposes(because on of the comments Bale threw out there was a threat to stop work).
“Mike B Says: Christian Bale is dumb ass. First of all if the lighting wasn’t right to begin with, his precious scene would have ended on the cutting room floor.”
I don’t work in the film industry, but I’m pretty sure that what RETAKES are for. What do think happens to a take when there’s a sudden and anomalous change in the lighting halfway through?
Waiting to adjust the lighting after someone yells “Cut!” might still mean the having to yet another take, but at least you aren’t interupting or distracting anyone while they’re trying to do their job.
Do you think “had his ass verbally handed to him by Christian Bale” will be added to “tapping maple trees” in his IMDB bio.
February 7th, 2009 at 8:14 am
I totally loved Christian Bale, he is such a wonderful actor, and it might have been the fact that I saw him first in All the little animals that this thing just ruined my image of him (Just like with Tom Cruise and Scientology).
But what I think most of you guys are forgetting that this is something that happens in many movies, and in some movies it goes to theater with it, a stage guy accidentally walks in a scene, because there work over thousands of people on each movie doing all the things that make a movie, and don’t forget that not that long ago Bale was taken into custody by police for waling on his sister and mother.
I think more likely that something is off a Bales end because this thing does happen in movies and we have yet to have a soundtrack released from Vin Diesel shouting at a stagehand for walking in on set in the middle of shooting a scene.
So Bale should just lay of the coffee/Heroin/Gambling or what ever it is that makes him so angry and emotionally unstable and just take a look at how lucky he is to be admired and do justice to his fans or get off the set.
February 7th, 2009 at 4:00 am
killface, martin, and ought: I’m pretty sure DOB, nor anybody else on Cracked, actually thinks this is how it went down.
Go grab a dictionary and look up “satire”. Go ahead. We’ll wait.
And to Jonathan Goss: I would defend anybody…to the same extent that I defend Bale. That is to say, I’m not exactly defending his decision to flip out, I simply understand that it probably wasn’t exactly a “decision”, he was probably stressed and something set him off, and it could happen to absolutely anybody, and there is no reason to lynch him for it.

The DP isn’t supposed to do shit like that. (This article is spot-on for detail.) Bale had told him not to fuck around, but he insisted. The guy doesn’t sound professional at all. Just seems like some stupid inexperienced kid. And if you call that whiny, I need to see what you call angry.
February 7th, 2009 at 3:43 am
BillyZRay is right about Ledger (Peace be upon him). When the Joker was teabagging Donnie Darko, if some guy had been walking around in the background, he would have been stabbed. In the face. C-Bale is a professional trying to do his job, and if I were him I probably wouldn’t have flipped because I’m not intense. Heathy (RIP) Ledger OD’d because he was so intense. These guys are brooding professionals who submerge themselves in their roles like Aquaman going home. You piss off Bale, you piss off Batman. You don’t need that shit. You should tip toe around these bad-asses. If you need to goof around on set and ruin a take, don’t mess with Russell Crowe, Christian Bale or “Dead Man” Ledger because they will snap. Try ruining the filming of a scene that includes Dakota Fanning. She seems quite placid, but if she were to turn nasty, you could probably take her. She looks like a porcelian doll and her skull would probably cave in like a hollow egg shell.

killface:martin: I agree. I wouldn’t have minded that much if it was relatively funny, but it was just an unfunny justification.
February 7th, 2009 at 2:28 am
I haven’t listened to Bale’s tirade. I’m going to because in my head I imagine him ranting in that Tom Waits/Cookie Monster voice he used in The Dark Knight, and I don’t want to mess with that image.

February 7th, 2009 at 1:11 am
I’m right here, fay-gots!
And check it, Matthew McConaughey would’ve kicked BatBale’s ass in Reign of Fire. Yeah, let that one sink in.
BatBale may or may not have issues, I don’t know. I don’t care. What’s bullshit is this cult of personality that exists. No one would defend him if he wasn’t Christian “I’m the ******* Batman!” Bale. THAT’S the fugly truth. But, he DID apologize, for what it’s worth (hint: not much if you read it).
Still, it is a comedy website so, whysosrs(?).

Heh, bale, Actually, despite getting way way pissed, Bale did stop in the middle of his rant to say that dude wasn’t a bad person, but that rather, he just didn’t know what he was about. O.o i, Uh, Understand the concept of temper. I also understand the concept of trigger. And from what was said by bale, it wasn’t the first time, the guy had walked into a scene… And no one else involved said anything, that was contrary to such. Does this justify anything? Not really, Cause and effect does that. But, I think a lot of people forget that. Specifically, that all things are tied into physics. Anyway, doesn’t really matter. Everyone who chooses to be judgemental will be. I find it even funnier that people are willing to make life decisions based on that. “Oh noez, Bale has offended me, I want nothing to do with his movies.” Feel sorry for everyone else drawing a paycheck from working on the same projects as him. Heh…

February 6th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Wow Bale has the most irritatingly transatlantic accent in that clip. Is that his normal voice or is it just cause he’s playing an American character?

And it’s taken this long for the audio to be leaked?
So who else thinks that LIFE WOULD HAVE JUST FUCKING MOVED ON? Bale would have forgotten about it, the Other Guy would have forgotten about it, everyone on set would have forgotten about it. Nobody else would have known about it. Hell, it’s entirely possible that they already had forgotten, until some fuckhead put the clip out there for the internet to bitch about. Not out of some desire to see Christian Bale reprimanded, not to set the record straight for Other Guy, but because he wanted to stir shit up.

It’s the DP’s job to make the actor look good on screen… and as stated before, this happens all the time.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
It’s fucking distracting when a guy starts fucking around and isn’t doing his job right, so I for one applaud Mr. Bale for taking the initiative and telling it to the DP to his fucking face. I mean, REALLY. If the same DP was on The Dark Knight, five hundred dollars says Heath Ledger (may he rest in peace) woulda gone full Joker on his ass and knifed his stupid fucking face, then he’d turn around, see Bale and Nolan all scared and shit, then he’d smile and say, “WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?”
Cuz that’s how shit’s done. AND that’s how Ledger rolls (may he rest in peace).

February 6th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Well, it’s good that they’ve apparently made up, but it’s a little weird seeing people here talking about how the DP was unprofessional. Cause you know Bale, with his threats of physical violence, and his threat to breach a legal contract he signed, just cause he was upset (even though I’m sure both threats were nothing more than words) was the epitome of professionalism.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
shit. i agree with connie.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Me too, Connie Dobbs.
I feel for Christian Bale, and I think this stuff’s been blown totally out of proportion. First off, actors are paid to be emotionally volatile. Even though what’s happening isn’t real, with a good actor the emotions are real, so things can get tense. And if you’re trying to do your best job, acting in a highly emotional scene, and some other guy who didn’t do his job (get the lights right before filming starts) starts dicking with stuff and distracts you, I can see how you’d fly off the handle. It’s frustrating in any profession when your co-workers aren’t doing their jobs, and even in workplaces that aren’t movie sets, I’ve seen people flip the fuck out and just rip into someone else. Of course, they usually get suspended for a few days, but they’re also not the person around whom the project rotates.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Christian Bale for the win. I’d have probably reacted the same way he did. Although, people say I seem to have, 1) a rage problem, and 2) a swearing problem. They aren’t problems, I’m perfectly in control, I enjoy flying off the handle.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Hey, everyone, Jonathan Goss is here! Hi, Jonathan! Look, it’s Jonathan! Jonathan, everybody!
February 6th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
1) BatBale doesn’t need security; he’s ‘roided up as it is.
2) You’re right, BatBale is a superbaby divabitch.
3) The DP is more important than the actor, according to what numerous actors have told me.
But you wouldn’t be able to grasp any of this since you’re constantly busy breaking the laws of physics by double-stuffing BatBale’s genitals.
So, Dan, what you meant as satire for the second time in a row, ended up being asinine because the shit you were lampooning is more correct than the criticism you were trying to express.

If they can get over it, why can’t we?
PS…I don’t care if Bale has a “potty mouth”, as he puts it. So do I. Sometimes the F word is the ONLY word that will do. I know several big words but none resonate as well as ‘fuck’ and all it’s derivatives.
also, he’s HOT so he can whatever he wants. It’s in the rules.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I have been on many sets and have to say that I think Bale is more in-the-wrong for his outburst than a DP would be walking around behind the camera or adjusting the lights. The DP’s job doesn’t stop when the cameras start rolling. He is in charge of all the cameras, and lights, and all the other effects that go on during each and every shot of the movie, and a lot more. Furthermore, an actor of Bale’s calibur should be used to having lots of production crew members doing all kinds of things during takes; it’s their jobs to be doing those things on the set, and it’s an actors job to “act” like they are a real person in a real location no matter what is going on around them. Even if the DP was distracting and out of line, it isn’t Bale’s place to repremand him. It is the director’s, and clearly McG didn’t think it was such a big deal.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
To be honest, I don’t really know why the media is so astonished at Bale’s reaction. I guess maybe he *looked* angry, but other than the incessant swearing, he didn’t sound out of control. He did go on and on and on. That was uncool. I mean, when you are freaking Batman, you have to watch it because the sheer fact that you hate someone can make them want to end their life. Seriously. If Christian Bale even looked at me funny, I would cry.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Cater, huh, I think I meant caterer.
Who knows.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Charlie Brooker once set up a scenario on Screenwipe (seriously, YouTube it Americans, it’s goddamn f’ing brilliant) about what it’s like on a tv set.
One day, as the ‘talent’ a runner approaches you to ask if you need anything, a chair, a drink ect ect. So, surprised by this, you say yes, you’d like a chair so she runs off and gets you one.
For weeks and weeks of filming, every day the runner approaches you to ask if you want anything. You start to get a little pissy if she doesn’t, you begin to notice she gets other ‘lesser’ people things, the make-up artist, the cater and of course, in this case, the humble photography director.
After a few months of this treatment, one day she doesn’t even approach you, and you lose it, because you’ve been built up to expect her bringing you things. So you go off on a huge violent hissy fit, acting like a spoilt little shit, simply because for the past few months of filming that’s exactly what you’ve been treated as. You take it out on the meaningless little people who are supposedly more important than you that you aren’t even offered a fucking chair when they are.
You can’t build up people to behave like that and then scowl and piss when they do. It’s like poking a lion with a stick, you know eventually it’ll attack you, because you’ve built it up to attack you.
I’m not saying Christian was right, just trying to bring a little understanding into it. Celebrities act like spoilt crybabies because of the millions of dollars, fame and everything that comes with it. That’s what it does to them.

If anybody has been on a film set, they already know this, but to the rest of you: it’s crazy, full of people, really hot under those lights, and at any given time you are doing the exact same thing that you’ve done like nineteen times already. I know being in a movie sounds like nothing but fun times, but seriously, a film set is stressful. It’s like a powder keg. There’s always someone that loses it. In this case, it just happened to be a very famous person who was being recorded at the time, so it became news. Was the DP being unprofessional? Did he deserve it? I don’t know; I wasn’t there. I know that when I was a DP on a friend’s film, I didn’t deserve it when someone flipped out on me, but it happens. We made up. People lose their tempers, and say things they shouldn’t say…even famous people.
February 6th, 2009 at 1:16 pm

If I’ve learned anything from his movies, it’s that if Christian Bale flips out, don’t stand at the bottom of stairs when he’s holding a chainsaw.
Or, when he starts talking about Genesis, run away, fast.
February 6th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
@Fiendish-
I heard Bale on the radio this morning, explaining the situation and profusely apologizing, (a couple of things for the record: the whole thing was seven months ago, and Bale and DP patched up their problems almost instantly and continued working together, without incident, for the rest of the shoot). As Bale explained it, they were filming a real intense scene, and he was trying to show how insanity was in John Connor’s blood, (Sarah Connor was crazy in T2), and, according to Bale, he just got caught up and went too far with everything. He was so in character, as this intense crazy guy, that when he was screaming at the DP he was, as he said “half John Connor, half Christian Bale.” You can really hear it in his accent as this weird hybrid of American and (Welsch?).
February 6th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
… Bitches be crazy y’know.
It kinda is fucking hard to act if a guy is moving round the lights. But lets face it, Bale is hardly gunna live this down so oh well… Glad someone recorded it
February 6th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Great article!
Now… couldn’t all this be made up? It sounds like Bale allright, I mean, I don’t think it’s faked, but it still looks like a bit “acted” to me. The f-word-per-minute ratio would make even The Dude Lebowski feel a tad uncomfortable, for sure.
Anyway, whatnot.
February 6th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I, for one, was weirded out by Bale’s accent.
It sounds like literally nobody else on earth.
February 6th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
thank you worsethansex, i’ve liked Bale in alot of movies in the past, but you just can’t treat coworkers like that. I don’t work in the entertainment industry, but Bale is not the Director of Photography’s boss, Bale is a guy on the set who does a very different job and gets paid more for this more than the director of Photography may make his whole career. If you make a mistake, its your superior’s job to tell you not to do it, if i co-worker with no authority over you rails off on you swearing for 3 minutes, he is the one who should be disciplined.
February 6th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Hmm, to be fair, the DP acted really unprofessional. And according to the audio, this was the second time. That still doesn’t justify Bale acting like king douche. It’s okay to get upset, but that thing went on for like, ten minutes. I started feeling embarrassed for Bale.

Granted, worsethansex, that might be true about the guy just trying to do his job, but isn’t it ALSO the guy’s job to wait for the “Cut!” yell BEFORE he fixes the lighting? Sure, he was doing his job, but only partly. I’m no film student so I don’t know how these things work but I gotta assume if you’re working on a film, it should be the first fuckin thing you learn not to walk on a set while the camera is rolling.

February 6th, 2009 at 11:40 am
As a DP (that’s director of photography, folks), coincidentally at the school Hurlbut went to, I can tell you that there is almost certainly no fucking way Christian Bale was in the right on this one. To everyone saying, “yeah, at first I thought Bale was an asshole, but shit this guy had it coming!”- No. First off- the way I read this article was as a joke that showed how ridiculously out of line Hurlbut would have to be for Bale’s response to be justified. Second- there’s a lot that goes on on set for a DP to take care of. Hurlbut is a professional, member of the ASC, and in his forties. The lighting in that scene was most likely so fucked that the take would have been thrown out anyway, and sure it’s a mistake to walk in a scene, but Hurlbut couldn’t have expected Bale to be such a dick. Dude had a job to do.

Oh man, great article! Totally gave me a new perspective on this whole thing. When I first heard the thing, I thought “Man… Christian Bale’s kind of a dick!”
But I didn’t give him a chance!! You’re totally right! If the guy was jumping around in the middle of the scene, then he deserved what happened.
Also, “my ass in my mouth” and “tickle my own balls” are two really great fucking lines!

DOB, I’m not going to lie, it’s a little frightening how easily you can get into this character. I mean, you’re channeling pothead douchebag with more skill and finesse than I thought humanly possible. It’s scary good… like you’re method writing. Can you sign my copy of The Amazing Spider-Man #96? I get it, it’s cool. Your secret’s safe with me.

I was wondering when Cracked would mention Bale flipping out. Thanks, DOB.

Hmmm..
“Bale became a hero to cast and crew after his tirade against Hurlbut, who was widely despised, sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Hurlbut was a condescending (bleep) to everyone,” a source told us. His favorite line was “Why don’t you go stab yourself in the head, you idiot.”
Maybe true, maybe not. Meh.

I just heard the audio and man, Bale was pissed ahhaha. To be fair, we only hear his words, and out of context. We don’t know what the other guy was saying, and if there was animosity between then already. We can’t just start saying Bale is this or that because we don’t have the full thing.
But yeah, his reaction was surely exaggerated haha.

That’s like so uncool of Bale. I know it’s uncool coz you know I just read your piece and I realised that it was pretty uncool of Bale to not treat you right.
February 6th, 2009 at 9:10 am
I mean really, what’s that dude’s beef?
Rock On!
February 6th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Wow. Just… wow. Coffee shot through my nose when I read this.
Classic, DOB. Classic.

Funny throughout, but when I got to “McDonalds” I almost choked. Hilarious.

Crap. :s
“Below *are* the first….”

I found this amusing and felt the need to share it. Below is the first 2 sentences of Luther “Shane” Hurlbut’s Bio on IMDB:
“Shane Hurlbut grew up on Goose Lane Road on a 250-acre farm in Aurora, New York. Before moving to Boston to pursue a degree in film from Emerson College, he spent many hours tapping maple trees and produced mouth-watering Grade A maple syrup.”

Oke, that song was maybe the most perfect thing i’ve ever heard.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Honestly, if it’s not being made fun of, then who gives a shit?
Great work making fun of it, DOB.
Thanks again.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:17 am
HAHAHA, that was funny!, but unpro-fuckin-fessional, your a nice guy O Brien, but why would you do that?, the next time I visit this site, I wan’t you gone, you bastard!!
February 6th, 2009 at 8:05 am
I heard something about this, but have no familiarity. What did happen? Ah nvm Ill just check the news.
February 6th, 2009 at 7:58 am
Omg, I have a friend that talks like that hahahaha. That was great…and whatnot, no lie.
February 6th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Lol that was so good.
To be fair to Bale, the guy should have been more professional and known not to fuck around on set. If there was something wrong with the lights, he should have waited till they shouted cut or notified someone etc.etc.etc. rather than popping in on scene.
However CB proved he can be a complete ass.
Oh well, come forth internet arguments! I welcome you with open arms.
