It would be easy to imagine that everyone in Hollywood hates Christian Bale now since that tape made him sound like a lunatic. But it would also be easy to imagine a half giraffe, half pig called a "giraffapig". My retarded point being, it’s easy to imagine stuff, but that doesn’t make it real. Radar Online says…
Bale became a hero to cast and crew after his tirade against (director of photography) 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."
And yesterday director Ron Howard called Howard Stern and Bale came up because Ron Howard’s daughter Bryce plays Bales wife in "Terminator: Salvation", the movie Bale was filming when the tape was made.
RON HOWARD: She told me about when it happened because of course it was really startling, she said wow this was a weird night. They were doing this tense dramatic scene, it was like the most important dramatic scene between them, they play husband and wife, and the DP disrupted it by walking around behind (the camera), which really is a no-no, you know, you’re an actor playing an intense difficult scene, that’s not supposed to happen. And he (Bale) went off. And I listened to the tape, and at the time, you know, he regretted it immediately. Bryce told me this is not his nature, this is not who he is. What shocked her so much, that he had gone off that much, but it’s really, it’s intense on a set … He flipped out, I’m sure he wishes he wouldn’t have gone on that kind of a rant, but, in all honesty, that kind of stuff happens, he’s an artist, he cares about it…
HOWARD STERN: Should the director have stepped in?
RON HOWARD: Well I think the director was trying to step in, and the question is, you know, you hear him trying, and look, they got their shooting done that night, the next day the were back to work, that DP didn’t lose his job, you know, and they made a great movie apparently. I haven’t seen it but Bryce has seen it and thinks it's fantastic.
Wouldn’t it be a surprising twist if the camera pulled back, and we see Ron doing the interview while Bryce sits in the corner with a Miller Lite to her eye to keep down the swelling. Because she still has to work with Bale, who is crazy, and Ron was trying to protect her. And also there’s a dog with really bad diarrhea. People would be all like, wow, that ending sure was surprising.
You always go for the DP… that’s what I do. This post has been approved by Mike Honcho.
tense dramatic scene
It’s a movie about time traveling robots that take over the world, settle down.
How can a dog have “bad” diarrhea. That sounds like a really good thing to me.
FAIL
Bryce Dallas Howard is not Howard Stern’s daughter… that’s absurd, get your facts straight
skylar77 - ROn HOWARD’s last name is HOWARD. Which is why people call him Ron HOWARD.
the DP got DP’ed by Bale that night!
Oh, so you got an apologu from Christian Bale?
Well, GOOOOOOOOOOD FOORRR YOUUUUUUUUU, YE STUPID FUCKIN PRICK!

who is howard stern? is that batman’s agent or something?
Christian Bale looks like the type of dude who is decent enough to be a good buddy, but who doesn’t mind ruining somebody’s shit if they get in the way. I bet if you to a club with him, everything will be perfect - all the bitches at his VIP room are hot and frisky, and his Dom Perignon ‘53 is never above the temperature of 38F.
Conclusion: I am sending him a friends invite on Myspace.
He’s still a nut
a “really intense, dramatic scene”… in a Terminator sequel…

stuff it, foghat.
and seriously, hurlbut? I’m surpried the guy didn’t kill himself long ago…
The DP is playing the victim. I’ve always admired Bale for being the kind of actor who doesn’t get that Hollywood-itis just because they make tons of money and get all the attention. He’s always made it clear that he’s a family man first and an actor second.
This entire “scandal” reeks of tabloid journalism. The DP will continue to play the victim and it will just feed the tabloid rumors that Bale is a rageaholic, hell-bent on destroying everything in his path. Bale’s mother tried this same tactic and the press loved it.
Moreover… that DP has a reputation for being an asshole. I don’t see the big deal, other than it’s hilariously funny to listen to the audio.
This has been, and always shall be funny!
I can’t lie. Bale’s rant makes me want him even more… you know in the “how nice would it be to have married to a man wearing a t-shirt with the sleeves torn off” kind of way. Images of myself being chained to a stove with enough give in he chain to deliver Bale a beer in his laZboy are running through my head. ain’t life grand?
i love the guy especially more now hes a hero for standing up to a prick everybody hated. I did a remix that makes him sound like his anger is all funky have a look:
