Like a scene out of 'Tropic Thunder'

In the midst of filming the latest Terminator movie, actor Christian Bale goes off on the d.p. for walking in the background of the set, which Bale finds distracting. At one point he yells to the director McG, who I picture cowering somewhere in the shadows. (Yes, I would be too.) It also doesn't help that the d.p. has the name Shane Hurlbut.

(Bale also mentions Bryce Dallas Howard and, I suspect, associate producer Bruce Franklin when he says, "No, shut the fuck up, Bruce.")

That was excellent. I have a bit of a temper, but listening to recordings like that remind me how irrational it sounds when you really get pissed off.

For what it's worth, the transcript should be used in high school acting classes...

What to do with such a rant? That's easy: take it techno.
