The Dark Knight Goes Ballistic

By now I'm sure you've all heard the audio of Christian Bale yelling at one of the staff members of the new Terminator flick. Not too long ago, he was also accused of beating on his sister and his mom. The charges got dropped, but now I wonder...The question I have is, do you think he was justified in his tirade? Or do you think he went too far? From an actor's point of view I see where his frustration could have stemmed from. He was about to do an intense scene that he was mentally prepared for, and then got interrupted. I think that's enough to set a lot of people off, or is it? In the real world, and I'm not talking about that lame show on MTV, there is a such thing as human decency. No one has the right to degrade another human being like that. Then again, I guess those rules don't apply in Hollyweird.

I think Christian Bale's outburst was definitely out of line. I understand that people get upset sometimes, but his temper tantrum went way beyond the bounds of human decency. I feel really sorry for Bale's PR agents who have to fix this mess. There was an interview with one of Bale's fellow actors/ friend and when asked what he thought about Bale blowing up at the light technician he skirted around the subject by saying he's just a really great actor. If that doesn't give you some insight on Bale's real character I don't know what will. My level of respect for Christian Bale has dropped significantly.

I think Christian Bale needs to learn how to control himself. This is not the first time that he has had trouble with his temper. If you remember after the release of the Dark Knight he got into some trouble for throwing a fit with his wife and child. I also feel sorry for his PR agents they have their work cut out for them.
