Christian Bale: Take a Deep Breath, Buddy

We can't assume what happened in that situation with his mother and sister - all I've ever heard is that the fight got heated and there was a lot of yelling.

So it's not fair for us to sit here and judge a person on a situation that no one was present for.

(obviously I'm not referring to the incident on audio).

christian..bale....is so m'fing fine...
that's all I can think about when he is freaking out..
drool..
but I am also relatively shallow..
I mean who else can make you jealous of the girlfriend of a chainsaw weilding murderous sociopath like he does in american psycho..

& the youtube video
F'ng classic. "What dont you f*cking understand, I'm going to f*cking kick your f*cking ass"

He sounds like a kid away from his parents trying to use as many cursewords as he can to feel tough.

Expletives aside, Christian is probably right. That would be distracting and it is a stupid amateur move on the DP's part to be walking around hanging lights or whatever in the middle of a scene. I say this as an ex-actor and ex-techie for the stage.

He's only wrong for directly going at the guy. Not his job. He should have waited until later to bitch at the director about it. Big star or no, there is still a chain of command on the set.

I must say that about his mother/sister incident this summer, they went to the police for "abuse" of the verbal variety. I remember this because when i heard i thought to myself "Wow, you can get arrested for yelling at you're mom in the UK?"
No one was hurt. I think they said he shoved his mom or sister out of the way when they refused to let him leave the room, and that there was a lot of bashing of his wife going on. Rumor was his sister wanted money from him.

If you read about his family, it seems he's never had a good relationship with his mother (i believe i read that he moved away from her when he was lik 16, to the US with his dad)
Plus she was professional clown.
Clowns, the sketchiest people around.

Anyway, all this aside, i think the guy needs some help. I've heard taht he took the death of Heath Ledger pretty hard, he obviously doesn't have a good relationship with his mom/sister (his father is dead), and obviously has an anger problem. The man is extremely talented, but needs to get his shit together. If this kinda thing keeps happening, no matter how talented he is, people won't want to work with him anymore.

So he apologized today, saying he was really embarassed and was having a horrible day, and took it out on someone else. He sounded sincere.

Shortly before this his sketchy ass mother made a statement saying something along the lines of Now some people might understand why my daughter and i filed assault charges last summer. He has a temper.

Why the hell would she say anything? sketchy clowns...

No, it was not a physical assault. It was a "verbal" one.

Big difference.

I agree with MAC_Whore's comment, she said pretty much everything I meant to.

Also, I find it somewhat disturbing that there's people who find him "hotter" now, after this (I've read it a few times and heard people mention it on the radio). Seriously, people? I just don't get it.

I have no idea what happened or didn't happen that day, so I won't comment on that particular case. Just wanted to say that verbally abusing someone, anyone (specially your own mother) is pretty shitty. There may be a big difference between verbal and physical, but that doesn't make the abuser any less of a loser (to put it mildly).

It sounds like she can dish it out, probably is the reason he is as volatile as he is. I don't like people who abuse their family either, but shit when it comes down to it some people beg and bring on the drama. He shouldn't be expected to sit back and be a pansy ass about it. I admire someone that isn't going to be plowed over by an abusive mother either, so I guess I sit in the same boat thinking he is hot. Because he is talented, very talented, and you know what, people that are that talented usually have some very deep issues. That is why they are tolerated, you have to have somewhere to pull from, and it seems as though he has the rage part down pat.

Well, like I said, I have no idea what happened between him and his mother and I prefer not to comment on things I have no knowledge of. My comment was on abusers in general (I don't include or exclude him there). I felt that KristyVictoria was dismissing verbal assaults as being unimportant and that's why I commented.

Now, about Bale, all I have to say is that someone with that kind of anger issues (and I'm talking about his Terminator set tirade, because we've all heard the proof and know for a fact it happened) makes me feel sorry for him and the people around him... and not attracted to him. That's what I meant. There's people saying: "now that I know he has a temper like that, I find him hotter". Well, I find comments like that slightly disturbing, to be honest... but that's just me.

If someone blocked my way out of a room, which is the issue here. I would have probably done more then just yell, but that is just me. I am going on this instance only, and this person only and from what I have read she is a ball busting bitch and needed to be put in her place. Not all mothers are saints, and once again, I do not condone abuse.

I hate to tell you, but if you find that disturbing you are in for some eye openers

You keep bringing up the incident with the mother. Like I've said twice now, I don't know what happened, and I don't personally know any of them, so I won't comment on that.
When I mention his anger issues I'm basing my opinion solely on the tape released.

I'm sorry, but you're kind of contradicting yourself here. First you say you would have done more than yell. Then you call his mother "ball busting bitch and needed to be put in her place." And, then, you say you don't condone abuse.

I didn't say I was surprised or that I didn't know people could feel that way... I only said I found it slightly disturbing. Don't worry, my eyes are already quite open, but I will stay tuned all the same

I think we're never going to see eye to eye on this subject and I really don't want to get into an argument, much less on a fun place like specktra. I'm sure you'll feel the same.

I do contradict myself, I find nothing wrong in it. If the circumstances are out of the ordinary which they are, then yes I expect him to stand up to her. Doesn't mean beat the hell out of her but it does mean being a man. It seems like she was the instigator but like you said...

No arguments here

I never said it did, I just said that they were two different forms of abuse.

How did you get that I was dismissing or calling anything unimportant by saying that they were both different?

This is an unfair accusation of something that you read into my post.

As a victim of BOTH verbal and physical abuse, I found the verbal to be far more damaging, so please don't put words in my mouth.
