Bailing Bale...

Come on, everyone, honestly, WHY does Bale’s swearing at the DoP (who, I promise, is suspiciously passive for a DoP) horrify you all? Or why does it even make u dislike the guy? What has he done, really? He shouted at an idiot who screwed up his job… that’s it! He obviously wasn’t having the best of days either.

Come on now! If your lovely colleague (the one who leaves his stinky sneakers by your locker every bloody time) collapsed that mountain of canned corn you’ve been building all day, wouldn’t you swear your brains out at him? Or, would you not want to kick everything around you shouting FUCK till your head spins if you lost your promotion to that joke of a human being who is just bloody lucky? Or, for fuck’s sake, how often do you want to shout at the people who squeeze your guts out on the tube every morning? Ah, we are all too well mannered to do those things, right?

THIS WAS A NORMAL FILMING PROCESS. Only usually you hear the 1st AD swear all over the place… Correction – EVERYONE swears all over the place. That’s part of the process of making those magical moving pictures you later go and pay £12,50 for!
ANYONE who has ever been involved in shooting a film know: you NEVER walk on the film set when the camera is rolling! Everyone is quiet and nobody moves. The actor has to focus, get into character, feeeeeeeeel the viiiiiiiiiiiibe, dude! You can start sneezing till your ears bleed after “Cut!” but NEVER while shooting a scene. That’s like elementary school, you know? And Shane, supposedly, having worked on a couple of films before, wouldn’t do such a silly thing as checking lights (!) during a scene. Or – would he? DoPs are big people on set, coz they know their stuff… hmmm…

This is just weird, my friends, especially, bearing in mind that Bale is actually from the UK!!! I mean - in this audio he talks with a proper American accent... like he does in films. Was he still in character?;) In that case - which one exactly?

Picture this: Shane Hurlbut, Christian Bale and McG turn off the mics and collapse laughing… Chocking himself with laughter, McG utters: “The marketing people will hate us!”
