By now, everyone has heard the infamous tape toppling Internet servers everywhere of Batman actor Christian Bale verbally castrating someone. This is a kind of silly story, but it seems to be on the minds of movie goers everywhere, so I figured I would offer my two cents, for whatever its worth (why is that a common saying? I mean, we know what it's worth, I just said it...two friggin cents!).
In the audio tape, you can hear what happened during the filming of Terminator: Salvation. Basically, some set manager walked into the middle of a very tense scene completely ruining the shot, and causing a reset, that depending on the scene, could take hours, if not days to reset. This isn't something that happened because of a malfunction, or someone forgetting their lines, it happened because some moron wasn't paying attention, and it cost them precious time. Does this mean he deserved to be lambasted for over three minutes? No. Can I see Bale's issue with the whole thing? Absolutely! This is something that should never have seen the light of day, Bale is a passionate worker that let it get the best of him, I'm sure apologies were given, and everyone moved on. This is not something that is completely ok, however. Both sides messed up, and it's something that needs to be controlled, but Christian Bale-Gate '09 it is not. Stuff happens, the guy learned his lesson, and Bale will be ridiculed for being a Russel Crowe fan for a while. No one got hurt, so lets move on and get ready for what looks to be a good movie in Terminator Salvation.
Any thoughts?
