Christian Bale -- Rant 'Unfortunate & Inexcusable'

Promoting the new "Terminator" flick isn't gonna be easy for Christian Bale -- because it's impossible to talk about the movie without reporters bringing up that now infamous "la da da da" tirade.

16. The next time he wants to rant, he should go to thepeoplescourtraw.com.

17. So "Ten," who is "your guys" exactly? Pelosi sat in on the briefings, was told what was going on and SIGNED OFF on it. For 7 years she's been lying through her dentures about the "horrible mistreatment" of people who would gladly like to saw her head off with a dull butter knife, all the while knowing good and well what WE were doing to them.

Her ridiculously embarrassing press conf. the other day only confirms she's lying. I think I heard more "hmms" and "ehhhs" out of her mouth than even Obama on a bad day.

She's calling the CIA L-I-A-R-S, no misleading bs, but L-I-A-R-S. Even Obama's liberal pick to head the CIA says she knew about the waterboarding.

Ten.....you've been OWNED!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

I hope the screen door knocks watarboarding loving Pelosi on her botox fatass on the way out :)

19. Yes, he has an anger problem. Let's move on to something we DON'T know.

20. I hear that the man he wigged out on is a SIZE PAIN to work with; passive aggressive, trouble stirring, needling type. The inside crew believe he had it coming to him, and possibly even staged it, baiting Christian. Seriously. This put Christian in a corner since nobody would believe this after the allegations from his mom and sister just months before.

21. I still laugh my ass off every time I listen to it (I have it saved on my phone even). People just need to lighten up. Everyone freaks out once in awhile, whether crying, raging or laughing. It's no big deal. He apologized, no animals or people were injured or killed while filming and the world is still going around and around.

I heard an interview where Bale issued a disingenuous apology to everyone EXCEPT the guy he actually owed the apology to. The incident may have been a Big Deal to the victim of Bale's tirade. Laurie, if Bale went off on you like he did on the lighting tech, would you be so nonchalant about his behavior?

24. If an actor is in character, it is very unpleasing for a person to bust in and cause an interruption. If this interrupted an actor, it can cause he/she to be mentally out of character. This not only causes a bad reaction from the actors, it can cause the production company to lose time and money. We don't need idiots to cause such a delima by intruding the space and time of any production. I congratulate Christian Bale for putting the intruder in place. I don't agree with the language involed, but that is my view. I have studied acting and dance. I certainly don't want anybody intruding in my space!

25. I think he is a talented actor and have enjoyed all his movies (and will continue to), but find it very revealing that he dodged the question about his anger problems by referring to his movie character.

26. There is nothing with flipping out every now and then.

27. Look, he has fessed up and admitted it was a bit over the top so why can't we just let it go. If I was at the end of a long shooting day and someone screwed it up, I would loose it too. Christian, I support you and your reputation as a solid actor...leave the haters in yesterdays news for they have nothing useful to add to society. Can't wait for T4!!!

28. I don't think that Christian is a bad guy. He's human and we all have our bad days. However, I do think he has an anger problem. When the interviewer asked him if he has an anger management problem, Christian started talking about John Connor's anger management problem and circled around the question. He plays all these angry characters- Patrick Bateman, Bruce Wayne/Batman, and now John Connor.

29. None of you know this guy. That includes this site which seems to want to do nothing more than tear people down because that's the only way they can hard. Unless you where on the set over a freaking year ago you don't have the full story and don't think for one damn second that these guys gave you all the details. You call him a douche bag for nothing more than being human and acting like a human having a bad day. My God it amazes me the level of hate people have towards someone they don't know. You want him to apologize and then get mad when he doesn't do it the exactly the way you want to hear. What a bunch of self important, self righteous a**holes. Get over it and yourselves.

30. What a douche! That's BS that he was in charactor. If he was a great actor he would be able to jump in and out charactor in a few seconds. He does have an anger problem! Come on people, would you flip out on someone like that for that long? Sure I might get pissed too, but for OVER 3 MINUTES?!!!!!
