Russell, Bale to scorch planet while making next movie

So, uh, you’ve got David O. Russell…

Total nutjob. Completely insane. Documented altercations with several actors including George Clooney and Lily Tomlin. Kind of brilliant, too, “I Heart Huckabees” and “Three Kings” considered. But a nutjob nonetheless.

Showalter, Rudd do David O. Russell epic shit-fit

I’m all about epic shit-fits on Hollywood sets after Christian Bale’s blow-up leaked yesterday. I mentioned David O. Russell’s explosion in front of Lily Tomlin on the set of “I Heart Huckabees.” Here it is again because why not, right? Makes my day better each time I watch it.

Oh, Lord… That’s tremendous.

So… Christian Bale?… Kind of a dick

Christian Bale in "The Machinist"

UPDATE NO. 2: Harry Knowles posted a kind of lame explanation as to why he didn’t go with the Bale flip-out on Ain’t It Cool News. He also claims to have “inside” information that puts Bale’s freak-out in proper context, and he basically defends the actor. I don’t see how any context could excuse that sort of epically profane shit-fit.

UPDATE: Talk about pop culture acceleration. Some producer in Los Angeles has already chopped up Bale’s tirade and turned it into a pretty amusing techno song. Hear it here.

So, Christian Bale is filming “Terminator Salvation,” and he’s in the middle of a scene, and the director of photography Shane Hurlbut allegedly adjusts a light while director McG is shooting.
