i deal with unprofessional jerks on a daily basis that don't give a ant's anus for what affect their actions have on their co-workers. Everyone does or has at one time. And most of us feel like blasting away at those unprofessional jerks just the same way as Bale did. the difference is that we aren't famous and would get escorted out by HR if we did what he did. So normally, we don't. Fame affords the famous slack that people in the real world never get.
I understand Bale's situation (or at the least part of the situation we've been made aware of) and agree that the DP needed his ass chewed but still feel cooler heads always prevail. I for one am not going to boycott his movies or anything just because of one little diva outburst. Hollywood actors aren't real people and you can't expect them to act like real people.
Unless you're Wesley Snipes and the government finds out you've been cheating on your taxes. <sarcasm> Trying to steal money from the government </sarcasm> just makes you one of those mothafuckas that's always tryin to ice skate uphill.

Bowing in now discussion seems to have come back...
This is pretty much the way it is, maybe my initial post was a little ranty but this is the point I was trying to make. DoP's quite often do get into the actors field of vision, they are often checking lighting levels, working out how each light is reflecting off the actor to stop him looking odd on screen, and making it look real instead of a set, yes he may have gotten within 200 meters of Bale, but that is no excuse for what Bale did, it was unprofessional and could have ended that DoP's career.
"Im not working till that asshole is off the set" (or something along those lines). This is banging your bottle on the bars of your crib. But with respect to captain queenie, he did infact apologise and humble himself, but it didnt feel very sincere, but he still did it and thats at least something. Still doesnt hide the fact that Bale has been known to be the prodigal son of Mariah Carey on film sets.
Bowing back out
