Bale-d Out

While Americans are losing their jobs, thus putting their homes at risk, another narcisstic Hollywood celeb goes off, trying to get a crewmember fired for a simple mistake on yet another remake that doesn't need to be made.

Payback's a bitch.

Filming at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico on July 18th last year, Christian Bale (John Connor) goes off on the director of photography Shane Hurlbut whom the actor accuses of ruining a scene by walking onto the set. Bale threatens to quit the production if the DP isn't fired. The audio's release may have been an act of revenge: celebrity gossip website TMZ claims that "film execs sent the tape to the insurance company that insured the film in case Bale bailed."

That clip could've been added to a Special Edition's gag reel.

Now, the joke's on Bale.
