Christian Bale is a dick

Whether they are behind the camera or in front of it, this is the place to discuss all filmmakers regardless of their role in the filmmaking process.

That just adds a new terrifying element to his angry point.

I hate to invoke the term karma (because I don't really believe in it), but it was the first thing I thought of in this case:
Bale Slices Finger In Biking Accident

British actor Christian Bale has been left with a disfigured finger after slicing off the top of the digit in a dirt-biking accident.

The Dark Knight star hurt himself during an action excursion earlier this year and has been left with a mangled left index finger which will be scarred for life.

But Bale admits he barely felt the injury - and didn't realise how serious it was until he caught sight of his bloodied hand.

He says, "I had a dirt-biking accident and chopped it off at the end. You have something as extreme as that - you've lost the end of your finger - but it didn't hurt.

"I just kept looking at it, going, 'Why is that not hurting?' The body's amazing. It (the finger) looks horrible. Everyone else almost faints looking at it."

What did you do to that poor customer? :D

I had the temerity to tell him that threatening the life of one of my co-workers was inappropriate.

I wouldn't trust anyone who's never had a day like Christian did on the set.

Sound Editing would be more appropriate.

I few years ago I had a customer yell at me and few other sales associates because she didn't understand how the 2-for-1/buy-one-get-one-free deals worked. Then she stormed out and said she'd never shop at that store again.

Every day and twice on Sundays...I get ridiculed literally on a daily basis. The way to fire up the human race seems to be to hand them a few prescriptions and send them on into one of the busiest pharmacies in Ohio. There ain't nothing I haven't been called and credit cards being thrown at you is child's play...the death threats are a little more frightening.

Maybe I'm too cavalier about this Christian Bale thing...but people need to get some **** out there sometimes. I guess it just shocks me so much that his tirade could shock anyone.

But really I am totally officially done...because people who I respect a lot more than Christian Bale (i.e. Sonic, Penelope, Daniel) are not worth bickering with over....Christian Bale

Usually when people are upset and become enraged they yell and scream in their natural voice.

I've heard it several times before and it sounded British to me. It wasn't as thick but it was still there, especially in the swears.

Sounded very British to me. too.

This proves he is a good actor! Lol.

I'm amazed at the number of threads this topic has.
