I imagine Bale’s under a lot of pressure, i honestly can’t blame him for blowing up

RADAR now says that Shane Whatshisbutt (the DP) was widely despised by the other crew members on set. He would say things like, "go stab yourself in the eye and die you idiot," which didn't endear him to others. Apparently Bale became a bit of a hero to them after the incident.

The thing about this is that I find it all very hilarious. My interest in the story comes from an amusement stand point. It does irritate me when someone feigns outrage though (maybe not Bale-style irritation, but irritation just the same) or takes a holier-than-thou attitude about it, but I think it's fun to make fun of this whole situation.

Also, I do find it weird that Whatshisbutt hasn't said anything publicly. I think he could have put this thing to rest early on if he had wanted to.

Hmmmmmmmm.....

Something tells me he won't be working on T5, and may have had a couple of friends in the sound department. ;)

Did Bale ever say anything about the incident with his mother? For some reason I’m thinking he never did, but I’m probably wrong.
I think all he needs to say is, “This happened, I’ve moved on, Shane has moved on, there is nothing left to say.”

“they might understand a bit more”? Understand what? Her plight with her son? Everyone’s against him! He’s right, the world is WRONG!

PR decorum insists he’ll probably have to make some sort of statement of some kind or someone will ask him about it and that’ll be his response.

"Bale still has to come out with his response/ mea culpa. Once that finally hits, we assume it'll all be over. But until then.."

Why does Bale have to do that? He doesn't owe any of us anything (with regard to that specific incident). Due to production schedules, it happened a long time ago, the filming went on, the DP wasn't fired, everyone made nice and made a movie.

How does he owe anyone else anything? Just let it go.

Four beautiful sonorous minutes heard the world round. A sonnet we all shall not soon forget.

I think everyone would’ve been cool with a sentence or two, like “Fucking idiot, get the fuck outta the way!” It is the length we all had a problem with to begin with. Four fucking minutes…and thats all we actually heard.
