Christian Bale = Douchebag #1

What do you make of the impressions given by one of his assistants a few posts ago? That's a first-hand account of Bale's personality by someone that has actually worked with him and been around him for a long period of time. Are we going to completely ignore that in favor of two instances that made the news that we don't know the full details behind?

I missed that. What's the post # ?

I would suspect that's damage control. I'm sure I could find people to say that Leona Helmsley was a dream to work for as well.

Anyway, the t-shirts begin:

There's a "Christian Bale soundboard" as well. ;)

The LA Times guy, Patrick Goldstein, seems to think that this is pretty common behavior for Hollywood types and therefore only big news to us stiffs who idolize movie stars.

He's always seemed like a pissy guy and his work in "Harsh Times" is one of the best performances in my book, with an honorable mention to Yuma.

We are sidemen, for the most part and have to put up with the pettiness of the talent whether its a guitar, trumpet, sax or vocalist. Bass men know what aholes when they see them.

Funny you should mention Rescue Dawn.

Before this whole CB=DB#1 thread got started I had got Rescue Dawn from Netflix. It's been sitting on my table and I just got done watching it.

The Douchebag dig a great job.
Awesome movie.
 
Wasn't he berating his mother and his sister last year? He needs to hand out with Michael Phelps and learn to chill.
