And if you argue, the terrorists win.

No matter what are the comments, you all are defending him (them).
The truth is no longer the moral aspect of everybody’s live.
We are all afraid to say what needs to be said.
We must stick together in the same tone and voice and opinion or we will fail as an Americans.
The truth is we are the admirers of all the wrong doings because we envy the money and wealth that they have. In fact we need them to be stars and bad, so we can justify our bad behaviors and point the finger.

amen brotha! bale should be ashamed of himself. I’m embarrassed for him that he clearly hasn’t moved beyond his terrible two’s. I’m also really disappointed that all of the other cast and crew didn’t confront him (especially “mcEgo,” I wonder what it’s like to allow that to happen to another human being on set). Can you imagine if bale had been a well-known black, latino, asian, etc. actor? A woman? It would have been OVER. The paparazzi would have had a field day. Anyway, it’d be nice if we could collectively hold people accountable for their actions because really, in the end, allowing bale to indulge in bad behavior is a disservice to him.

Shocking? Yes.
Surprising? Not really.

Rihanna better wake up before one day, she won’t wake up at all.
A shocking statement for me to say? Yes.
Surprising? Not so much.

People have moved on to the Rihanna situation. That’s why this has been brushed aside.

“Then War of the Worlds went on to make a ton less money than the studios originally projected.”

in all fairness it still went on to be tom cruises highest grossing film of all time and speilbergs 5th or 6th highest so it still did well.

I came to his defense because I don’t know the man and I’m not as quick as everybody else to damn somebody to hell over something I have no understanding of, and no, you do not have an understanding of the parties involved and the months spent on a project, from a three minute audio clip. And you do not know these people.

The DP has forgiven him, and that’s all that matters, because after all, it’s NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

Hey Rob,

I feel like you’re asking me questions, then ignoring what I answer, and then just ask the question again.

You quoted:

““It’s about how just weeks later we’ve all forgotten about it when we wouldn’t have if it were a less popular celebrity.””

This again shows that the post is about US. Not passing judgement on Bale.

And yes… if this was a less POPULAR (not famous) person, we would be all over him and calling into question if we would see Terminator. Don’t believe me?

How about Tom Cruise? When he did his wild outburst on Oprah, the chat boards were filled with people openly questioning if they’d even bother going to see War Of The Worlds.

At that point his popularity had dropped due to the Scientology thing. So when the couch hopping insanity happened, because he wasn’t as “popular” anymore, people hammered him. Then War of the Worlds went on to make a ton less money than the studios originally projected.

Notice I’m not saying we the public were right or wrong to hammer Cruise so harshly… just observing that we DID.

So here comes along Christian Bale. He does something much worse than jumping happily up and down on a couch… and we all swept it under the rug… because he’s everyone’s favorite hero right now. He’s at the height of his popularity unlike Cruise was at the time.

Again, nowhere did I say we should or shouldn’t hammer Bale or that we should or shouldn’t feel one way or another about him…

My post was an observation about US. How we treated one mega star differently than another because one is popular right now and one wasn’t.

If you disagree with that, I totally respect that… but it is nonetheless my observation and opinion which I post here for you to debate.
