Christian Bale too angry to be heroic

Sigh. Christian Bale flipped out non-ninjastyle (NSFW!) on a crew member on the set of Terminator: Salvation. I could maybe make an excuse for him if he shouted one or two sentences and then apologized and got back to work, but this goes on and on. I'm sad to have proof that he's a jerk and seems like an excellent candidate for anger management therapy.
But at least there's a sweet remix! (Also NSFW!)

Date: 2009-02-06 05:22 pm (UTC)I...don't want to lose my shit like that at co-workers, but it's because my father did lose his shit very much like that all through my childhood and adolescence, so I think people who do that are insecure bullies who poison the world for everyone around them. I have totally wanted to scream at co-workers succinctly and with devastating intellectual superiority though!

There is an interesting series of follow-ups on Defamer. Both pro and con. One talks about what a complete ass the guy he is yelling at is - that people were happy he finally got bitched out. The other claims that Bale once told Gloria Steinheim to shut up - his father is/was married to her. I am sure the truth is somewhere in the middle and I don't care too much either way.
Both of my parents have/had pretty explosive tempers - though my Dad seems to have moderated a lot since my folks divorced. However, a parent yelling and acting out in front of or towards their child/children is very different than two grown-ups having a confrontation. Mr. C has actually experienced a manager type person have a petty tantrum at a meeting and no one felt intimidated or scared. Rather, they thought he was an idiot and laughed about it for years. Your personal background probably does play a role in how you view this incident, but I firmly believe that yelling and ranting sometimes is appropriate and justified and a way better solution than a physical manifestation of that anger.
