In case you have not heard this yet, Christopher Bale was filming a scene for Terminator Salvation when the Director of Photography accidentally strolled onto the set. Oh My God did Batman tear him a new one! Hilarious....

I searched on Google and it seems like this was right before he "allegedly" assaulted some family members.

Maybe he was just really stressed out when he realized he was making another terrible movie.

Oh gosh. I wish he would talk more like that in his movies...

How important is the Director of Photograph?. Sounds more important than a puppet... err I mean an actor.

So I take it Bale won't be back for the terminator sequel? (studio slips him a few million dollars) Oh wait there he goes. and he's working with that delightful DOP again too.

Err...prick?

Good actor, but prick. Why the fuck would anyone want to work with that? Even McG can't quite believe what's going on...and he's supposed to be the director! Who the hell is in charge of that set?

What a diva...get over yourself, Bale.

Looks like Shane Hurlbut fucked up, and it sounds like it wasn't the first time during the shoot.

"It's the second time that he doesn't give a FUCK about what is going on in front of the camera, alright?  I'm trying to fucking do a scene here, and I am going "Why the fuck is Shane walking in there?  What is he doing there?"  Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?"

Christian Bale is an actor who gets so emersed into his role (see onset interviews during American Psycho), that when something like this happens, it breaks his concentration... Is it an excuse to rant like that?, no. But I believe the DOP did it a couple of times during the set... and doing reshoots costs $$, time and can break the flow of a day's work.

Blow ups happen on many, many films. I person I know was working on 88 Minutes with Al Pacino. He got into huge fights with the director and I mean Epic! And what happens... next movie he's working with the same director again. Go figure.

Actors are a different breed and when they are on set, some of them can be very volitile.

Probably spent a little too much time with Russel Crowe on the 3:10 to Yuma set.

However, there's a wonderful remix floating about! In all seriousness, if the remix were released it would dominate club music charts.

I have a remix on my myspace. Others i guess you can google.

He says he's sorry.  I think I believe him.

Bale apologizes for 'Terminator' tantrum

I love the remix... But I agree, it was immature but in a way understand. You get momentum in the scene and loose it, you can loose your cool.

That was fun.  Good to see people getting creative like that.

Some of the creativity has been good.  I liked the last post by Tommy.  I read the comments and discovered the Family Guy version:
