I think HecklerSpray had the best – or at least the funniest – analysis of the genius behind Christian Bale’s hissy fits and legal exploits. (They also appreciated the fact that Bale doesn’t just unleash a barrage of insult and obscenity on a DP, he unleashes a barrage of insult and obscenity in a truly bizarre cavalcade of accents. For me, that was the element that elevated the entire situation from appalling to jaw-dropping).

If you’re one of the three people who hasn’t heard the tantrum and you’re somewhere when you can safely listen without getting fired from your job, here’s the link. I also wouldn’t advise clicking the link if there are impressionable children nearby, unless you want dinner conversation to get a whole lot more interesting.

He really needs to get a profanity dictionary – his vocabulary could use some enhancement, if you ask me. TMZ is reporting that one of T4’s producer’s claims Bale’s tantrum wasn’t a big deal.

Maybe not, but it was worth it’s weight in advertising gold. Hell, who even knew there was a 4th Terminator movie in production until this? HecklerSpray agrees, pondering how he’ll top this when it’s time to promote his next film:

According to IMDb, Christian Bale’s next movie is the Michael Mann film Public Enemies. Lord alone knows how he’s going to promote that one, but we’d wager that it’ll involve a tank of petrol, a lighter, a box of puppies and some sort of tribal dancing.

Plus, someone’s got to keep the remixing economy strong.
