Heaven forbid a professional actually be professional. I applaud Bale for calling him on it. Good for him.

I don't think anybody had a problem with Bale calling him on being unprofessional.  The problem is the manner in which he did it.  How can you applaud Bale when his outburst was also unprofessional? 

Heaven forbid an adult actually be an adult.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Don't worry about it.  Some people just can't stand sarcasm, or cynicism, or the least bit controversy.  They go into Chicken Little mode at the first blush of such things.  I try to avoid being around such people whenever possible -- they bring me down!  Soft skinned nellies... neat turn of phrase, I think I'll file that one for future use.

Regardless of what the DoP did or didn't do, there's no excuse to treat someone else that way.  If I behaved that way at my job, I'd be very lucky if I didn't find myself out of work.  I bet if the DoP behaved that way towards an actor it wouldn't just slide either.  It's too bad some people get such inflated egos.  Makes me glad I never became a famous person.  It's scary what a little power will do to you.


well said, excellent post!

Mr. Bale has apologized, and he sounded sincere.  So he either realized he overreacted or was convinced his image would suffer because of this.  I agree that Bale shouldn't have treated the DoP that way, but creative people often take themselves way too seriously.
