With Christan Bale's recent and highly publicized meltdown the consensus has been pretty much that the guy's a major jerk for going off on the photography director - Shane Hurlbut. AintItCoolNews has refused to post the audio. They claim that it is neither relevant nor news. They further go on to point out that messing with a scene in progress is a major no no. They also point out that this had been mentioned to the PD many many times. However the PD has a rep as a 'light tweaker' - meaning that he likes to walk on set in the middle of the action and make minor adjustments. He had been warned about his unprofessional conduct many many times, but continued with his annoying ways.
Besides blow outs on set are pretty normal. Most don't get major world wide distribution. For an example of what can happen in the high tension world of multi million dollar Hollywood film making, and of why Lily Tomlin doesn't act any more, lets take a look back at some leaked video from I Heart Huckabees.

Now there wasn't that much of a fuss about signing the Magna Carta (Let's call it 'the Big Deal', but we'll say it in Latin so that it sounds more sophisticated)! Of course the Magna Carta merely involved a group of illiterate bloodthirsty pore happy maniacs, and not the usual array of coked up 6 year olds you find masquerading as actors and directors down in LA)The shooting seemed riddled with tension and conflict - but the movie had such a cute name! The film set can be a pressure cooker especially when drug stoked ego's are involved. So does anyone still want to be a movie star?? Better get used to frequent humiliation then!
Or if you don't like the status, perks, and tons of phonies pretending to like you (OK, the phonies would be the only thing I'd miss), you can always head of to the heart of the jungle, like this young man in the following short documentary!
