When Lily Tomlin went ballistic on the set of I ♥ Huckabees, it was David O. Russell who ended up getting most of the blame, right?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Well, the DP isn't that far down the food chain, IIRC my heirarchy of film sets.
Yeah, DP ain't no Craft Services.
I'm with flea, I think. Film folk tend to be a bit more flamboyant than librarians and office workers; it's a facet of the job. It sounds like a regrettable tantrum requiring an apology and better behavior, but it's so far from showing up drunk to work or physical abuse--which other famous folk have done habitually--I can't be too shocked about it.
I wonder if I wouldn't be so disappointed if he wasn't playing Batman. I mean, I know the actor and the part are separate and blah dee blah, but...you know...
Ha! Because Batman is in NO WAY a big rude freak.
(Granted, he wouldn't throw a hissy fit, because he wouldn't have to. A couple throat punches and batarangs later, and everyone falls in line. But polite he ain't.)

Well, no, I don't expect Batman to be polite. On the other hand, I don't think a DP would walk through his shot, either, lest Bats, you know... look at him.
Well, no, I don't expect Batman to be polite.
I know; you just said that, given the connection of Bale playing *Batman,* maybe that's why you were disappointed, and the character of Batman is hardly known for politeness --
Actually, I think I'm having problems communicating today. Everything coming out is making me sound like more of an asshole than normal.
A) Not an asshole normally or ever so
B) your logic is faulty.
Christian Bale loses his SHIT.
