boss man and the hero everyone deserves.

 

[TheContact]

He didn't have to do this but he did. Not all Actors are dicks.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

He suffers from major depressive disorder according to this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_major_depressive_disorder

Not surprising. Apparently he's had intense and distruptive mood swings from back when he was touring for Empire of the Sun.

 

[randomwab]

Such a cool dude. Props.

 

[Fantomex]

That was a great gesture by Bale. He didn't have to but did, and risked the backlash.

You guys let a dude with a stupid mustache avatar troll you? Ignore people like that. They come into feel good stories and kill the mood for everyone.

 

[Schweinehund]

Awesome thing to do.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

What a great thing to do, major respect to the dude for going out there.

 

[Van Owen]

The lighting thing was a bit overblown. Yeah, he lost his temper, but the guy was doing the same shit multiple times and was asked to stop and continued to do it anyway.

 

[midonnay]

I find it hilarious at all the people praising him in here, when 95% of the posters in the main shooting thread called this idea incredibly stupid (but not as stupid as him coming dressed as Batman)

why would it be stupid..... the victims was at a midnight screening...

you don't go to watch a movie at such a time unless you're a fan.

He suffers from major depressive disorder according to this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_major_depressive_disorder

From that list:

Christian Bale
Anne Hathaway
Heath Ledger
Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I was expecting Nolan himself after a while.

 

[smr00]

Nice thing to do.

But nothing this guy ever does will convince me he's anything other than a total piece of shit after listening to this. A real "never live it down" moment. You really get a feel for the man behind the PR.

So because he had a bad day and went off on someone he is forever labeled as a piece of shit?

What does that make you? I don't know you but i can guarantee you have said worse to someone or behind their back, that you have had a bad day so does that make you a even shittier piece of shit?

 

[finalboss2]

this is great

 

[Ex:2]

More respect for CB from me.

 

[FroJay]

Good to see.

 

[MeBecomingI]

He is my absolute favourite actor. For him to do this on his own accord is unbelievably awesome and very classy.

Absolutely incredible picture. Amazing guy.

 

[TheClimaxan]

 

[xxracerxx]

How many posts were actually against the use of costume and not the visit? Because mine was about how the costume was a bad idea.

Obviously 95% of them.

 

[harSon]

That's extremely awesome of him

 

[LM4sure]

The lighting thing was a bit overblown. Yeah, he lost his temper, but the guy was doing the same shit multiple times and was asked to stop and continued to do it anyway.

Yeah, Bale was trying to do an emotional scene and the idiot kept messing with the lights. Leave teh fucking lights alone, you moron! I actually gained respect for Bale after that audio was released. He's a cool dude. Don't fuck with his lights.

Ya I think he is a crazy fucking coot but almost every person in their life has been working intensely on something and reacted poorly to being interrupted. Humanity does that. Sure he came off like a dick, who the fuck hasn't?
Actors are people too? Who knew?

Not to mention, at least according to Bale, and that he apologize and made up with the person

 

[Salazar]

Wales is a part of Great Britain.

But it is primarily a country in its own right.

After the guy was fired. haha, that idiot will never get another job on a set again! You don't fuck with the lights during a scene, man!

 

[Chromax]

Great guy. Always liked him.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

that is awesome

 

[blainethemono]

It was the director of photography, He didn't get fired. They continued shooting all day after that

Bale dismissed his threats of getting Hurlbut fired as "hot air" and told the station that they had reconciled since the showdown.
He said: "I've not only talked with him, we have resolved this completely.
"That very day we kept working for a number of hours. And we worked together for at least a month after that. There is no problem whatsoever.

Shane hurlbut is a big name in the world of DSLR cinematography. He does a lot of non hollywood stuff too. The guy is a pro.

Stop acting like a punk.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I love this guy.

 

[NullPointer]

boss man and the hero everyone deserves.

Sometimes people deserve more.

Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

 

[Karak]

Batman brings out the crazies...

Apparently they also can not spell for the life of them and think that fired means moving on to other movies.

Not to mention, at least according to Bale, and that he apologize and made up with the person

For me even if he didn't I would still be ok with that. I mean, shit happens people freak and move on. But yes it is just doubly cool that he did.

Still seems like a crazy coot.

 

[BlackGhost]

Bale seems like a all around great guy

 

[Secret Fawful]

This is a great deed. As far as everything else, I don't know Christian Bale and I'm not going to try to pretend that I do.

 

[victreeb3l]

pretty cool of him. so glad there wasnt any costume involved. what a stupid idea that was

 

[DrForester]

he also visits the memorial for the victims

I park my car for lunch under those trees behind him sometimes

 

[Loofy]

He looks so awesome in that picture.

 

[beyond_death]

What a legend.

 

[Riposte]

Was really cool when I met him through a teacher (who's son is his friend or something)

 

[Reiko]

He looks so awesome in that picture.

That pic says it all.

 

[NullPointer]

Now leave him alone in a room with Holmes.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Real classy. I was at the hospital today. Everything was going well until the kids heard him doing that awful voice. Lots of tears.

PS all of those statements are factually true just taken out of context.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Awesome.

 

[BlackGhost]

He looks so awesome in that picture.

Someone should Metal Gear this picture

 

[rCIZZLE]

Showing up and speaking with the victims has to be a lot tougher than it looks. Much respect.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

He looks so awesome in that picture.

he knows he must become the batman


but really though this is awesome of him

 

[MThanded]

OMG, look at those titles. All AAA titles.
Seriouslt, get the fuck out

Oh lord.

 

[Reiko]

he knows he must become the batman


but really though this is awesome of him

Thinking the same thing. He just doesn't have the money to become The Goddamn Batman without funding from Nolan.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

You must be a heavy poster on the gaming side to be dropping "AAA" on movies.
