Watch This: Christian Bale’s Rage Remixed

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on February 4, 2009

Baring any further developments in the ‘Christian Bale Strikes Back’ situation, this should be our last post about it. Personally, I had all sorts of debate with self and other folks around the FSR office yesterday as to whether we should even be talking about it or not. But based on the amount of comments each of these stories have received, you all appear to be interested. So in addition to the video above — which is a rather funny remix of the now infamous Bale rant — we’ve got a few links that you can use to entertain yourselves.

  • First up is a rant from Harry Knowles over at Ain’t It Cool News, who is so above this gossipy crap that he waited until the sound clip had taken over the web, then wrote a big rant about why he wasn’t posting it.
  • Next is an excellent editorial from Devin Faraci at CHUD, in which he once again urges Mr. Bale to “cheer up.”
  • Then there is a Christian Bale Soundboard that the folks over at UGO put together. This will come in handy down the road if you are (a) a radio DJ hell bent on torturing the world or (b) someone with way too much time on their hands.
  • And finally, the pop culture revolution continues — the folks at Despair have begun selling the “Christian Bale and I are DONE Professionally” T-shirt.

So there you have it, folks. Everything that you need to continue to laugh at the expense of Christian Bale. I would say that you should be ashamed, but you all know that we are sort of laughing, too. I do stand by my original claim, however, that Bale was probably justified in his outburst. He’s a serious actor, someone not to be fucked with.

    I would call Harry Knowels a hyper-sanctimonious 500# gorilla, but that's a insult to noble primates.
  • thatneuro
    That's freakin hilarious, thank you!!!
  • Bravo

    That took a little bit of talent to make an embaressing situation funny.

    WOW! I'm really cool 'cause I can put an out-of-context rant to some beats. Maybe stupid shit like this means this non-story is losing its legs. Face it, the DP shouldn't have been tinkering with lights while the scene was filming! I've read in a couple of places that he had been doing it repeatedly and Bale had asked both he and McG for it to stop. I'm not an actor, but I'm smart enough to know that it's a hard fucking job and I wouldn't want to do it. McG's the bitch in this situation. He should have been in control on the set.

    i want to bump this in my car lmao

    Wow, you are really taking the side of the overly egotistical Bale's side on this? The reason it was screwing him up was probably he couldn't concentrate on being the trash actor that he is.
  • 1. That was awesome.
    2. Devin's advice for Bale to take on a comedy seems ridiculous to me. Saying Bale isn't a movie star? He's not a "movie star" in the negative connotation, in that he is on every tabloid and loves talking about himself and telling you how great he is and how he knows this or that and also donate to this politician. He is one of the greatest actors working right now, period. And that's all it takes.
    3. I could write pages on Harry/AICN, but I'll just leave it at this - I would pay money to kickbox Harry Knowles, the kind of guy who says he avoids "personal gossip" but posts about how awesome exercise is. Last I checked, that wasn't news, nor was it cool news.
    4. I'm a sassy bitch.
    5. Me and Bale are not done, either personally or professionally.
