Report: AICN sticks up for Christian Bale, an explanation on the tirade…

Harry Knowles of AICN explained the Christian Bale controversy and defended the guy a little bit. The reason for the tirade was that the DP lighting guy, Shane Hurlbut, was shining them huge stage lights around while Christian was filming a scene, that is what pissed Christian off.

I agree with Harry, that I think the media is exploiting Christian just to make him look bad, to make Christian look like an asshole when he really isn’t.

Thought: Christian Bale gone mad on set isn’t the first with actors, stop acting like it is….

Ya know, actors like Christian Bale going mad and losing his temper is nothing new in Hollywood. Why is the media acting like this is something new happened? It isn’t. Actors and actresses lose their temper all the time when something goes wrong while filming.

Even the film directors lose their tempers and go on a rage, when the actors can’t film a scene right and perfect the way the director wants it. When people go, “Oh no, Christian Bale is an asshole, what a douchebag, I had so much respect for that guy and I’m no longer a fan, waaaaah, waaah, Waaahh, etc”, that shows you have no idea how Hollywood works.

I still support Christian Bale for this. This is something called “Work”, people getting mad happen at all jobs. At your day job, I’m sure there are all kinds of yelling and screaming all the time. It’s even like that at my job sometimes with other employees. It’s the same with Hollywood.

GET OVER IT PEOPLE! Christian Bale getting mad on a job is no big deal. Stuff like this happens in every day life. People get mad, SO FUCKING WHAT! If you were an actor and some idiots in the film crew were being morons, who messed up a perfect scene that Christian nailed and then he have to film the scene over again, you’d get mad too. That’s what he was being mad about in the clip. Hint: Bale calling them “amatuers” and so on.

Not all actors are the nicest people in the world, get over it. The only reason this is made public is so the media can have something to drool over. I’m sure these hollywood stars are nice to people out in the public but when they are filming and working, it’s a different story. This ain’t a big deal and it’s ridiculous to me why this has to be media news in  the first place.

I think the main reason is that I think Christian is still upset with the death of Heath, he has never gotten over Heath’s death, as Christian and Heath were very close friends while filming “Dark Knight”.

Report: Christian Bale not too friendly when being messed with while filming…

TMZ posted an audio clip of Christian Bale on a temper tantrum, screaming at film makers while filming “Terminator: Salvation”, swearing and threatening them with violence and everything.

Me thinks, Christian hasn’t been the same since Heath Ledger died, I think he’s still upset over the death of Heath.

On top of that, I think the film makers of “Terminator: Salvation” deserved the smackdown by Christian 100%. Sounds like they were giving Christian a hard time, being a bunch of dicks to the actor (you can hear the crew laughing at him in the background).

This is why Hollywood film makers shouldn’t piss off their actors. The actors are worth a lot of money being paid over $20 million for just one film. Honestly, Christian isn’t doing anything wrong here, sounds to me the crew provoked him and he lashed out in return.

Nice job Christian, show them shady Hollywood film makers that you aren’t to be messed with!!!

Report: McG already planning “Terminator 5″…

When just completing “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” (or Terminator 4), McG just announced he is already planning a 5th one.

Read more on it here:

Also, see the new “Terminator: Salvation” trailer with a lot more film footage, the film actually looks pretty fuckin’ sweet, and I’m definitely seeing it in May.

See the new trailer here:

Look like McG is directing a new Terminator trilogy, he’ll probably do Terminator 6 as well to complete the series.

The question is, will Arnold be willing to return as the lead in Terminator 5 since he’ll be done being governor by then? Crosses fingers.

Report: “The Dark Knight” rises to serious contender…

When “The Dark Knight” was first released earlier this summer, everyone was hoping for Heath Ledger to get an Oscar award for Best Supporting Actor, it looks like the film may just get more than that. The film is getting very close to getting a nomination for “Best Picture”, “Best Director for Christopher Nolan”, and even Christian Bale is considered for “Best Male In a Leading Role”. Expect the film to get more nominations like “Best Sound”, “Best Editing”, “Best Costuming”, etc.

The only nomination “The Dark Knight” will NOT get is for “Best Musical Score”, remember the Academy disqualified them for the musical score.

The Associated Press reports:

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gjvsDg9hAnh78d-tj2WmrfcB-d7QD94S20SG0

If “The Dark Knight”, “Frost/Nixon”, “Milk” and “Benjamin Button” do get nominated for “Best Picture” this year, which they probably will, this will be quite an interesting competition!!

I just know “The Dark Knight” will sweep everything and make history! A comic book superhero film never made the Oscars before and this could be the first time! Lets hope it will be the first time. I would be thrilled if “The Dark Knight” sweeps the Oscars as it would be amazing. If “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” can do it, so can “The Dark Knight”.

I don’t see “Milk” winning it ’cause that film is about a gay politician and if that film “Milk” gets “Best Picture” award, it could create controversy in the media. I don’t see “Frost/Nixon” winning “Best Picture” because Ron Howard seems to be hogging the Oscars everytime he makes a film, time to give someone else a chance. I don’t think Fincher’s “Benjamin Button” is even worthy of an award.

This is why I think “The Dark Knight” is going to win it no matter who is nominated. I sure can’t wait to see the official nominations. Since the Oscars is on Feb. 22nd of ’09, we’ll get the nominations at the end of January since “The Dark Knight” is coming back out in theaters that month. “The Dark Knight” will win Best Picture for 2009, mark my words.

Report: The Governator visits “Terminator: Salvation” set…

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver visits the cast and crew of “Terminator: Salvation” on their filming set.

In these pictures, you can see Arnold himself chatting with Christian Bale. Bale is the man wearing the black shirt, wearing sunglasses and has a shaved head. Seems like Arnold and Christian are just hanging around, just joking around and laughing.

Report: Holy woman beater, Batman! Don’t go to jail for assault!

“The Batman” and “Terminator: Salvation” star Christian Bale was in police custody for being accused of assaulting his own mother and sister. Bale was arrested in London the day before he was supposed to attend “The Dark Knight” London premiere. Meanwhile, the actor denies physically hurting his own mother and sister. He was taken into police custody for 4 hours and was released. He was also not charged. A family member of Bale’s said it was a family matter that the actor had an argument with his mother and sister, he claims he did not hurt them.

It’s time to play the Batman theme from the TV show and the words “POW” comes up everytime Bale hit his mom and sister.

Report: Jeph Loeb creator of “Batman: Dark Victory” comics defends Robin about Christian Bale’s comments…

Christian Bale threatened to quit doing the Batman movies if the film makers ever decided to bring the character Robin into the new films. Which is pretty hypocritical of Bale to say because he once said that Batman “Dark Victory” comics is what Bale loves to read. And guess what? The “Dark Victory” comics had the Robin character in them.

Jeph Loeb says the Robin character in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series would work if done right. He says if they took the time to tell the story properly, the Robin character can be good and extremely moving.

MTV Movies Blog reports:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/07/03/should-robin-be-in-batman-comic-legend-jeph-loeb-defends-the-boy-wonder/#more-2891

A Batman movie without “Robin” would be a huge mistake. If Chris Nolan decides to do a third Batman movie (I know he will keep doing a few more), he should definitely bring in Robin in the next one.

Chris O’ Donnell doesn’t work as Robin. They need to find the right actor. And no, Tobey Maguire, Hayden Christensen, and Shia Leabouf would not work as Robin either.

We need a young actor who can act really good. A good Robin actor can make the character work “if done right“. Robin is a very important character to the Batman franchise, always has been. If Nolan’s new Batman movies does not include Robin, would be travesty. And those who think Robin does not deserve to be in a new movie is insane. Seriously, Robin being in a new film would not kill the Batman franchise. I think it’ll be a success.

Report: Christian Bale threatens to quit Batman movies if brought back Robin…

Christian Bale revealed the shocking news that he will quit the new Batman franchise if the producers and Christopher Nolan decided to bring back Robin, Batman’s sidekick and crime fighting partner. Bale says he’ll chain himself up somewhere and refusing to go to work, if Robin does get written for the next Batman film.

Chris O’ Donnell starred as Robin alongside George Clooney as Batman in “Batman and Robin” that also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.

The question is will Christian still work on the Batman movies if Nolan brought back the Riddler, Catwoman and the Penguin?

Robin’s always been a huge part of the Batman franchise. Sorry but Christian is sounding a bit of an egomaniac here. I think Christian is just worried that the film makers wills sign some good looking kid to play Robin that will take over Christian’s spotlight in the media. Yep, I think I just figured out why Christian is upset about that.
