Hats off to RevoLucian, the guy who threw this techno-vid together so quickly and so well. (Thanks to In Contention's Kris Tapley for alerting.)

Number One with a bullet. Nice work, RevoLucian.

Where did the Babs sound bite come from?

THAT WAS AWESOME! Oh my God, i'm still laughing so hard. They should actually release that song, I can see it being a hit in clubs.

Anyway, I'm beginning to think that this whole Bale thing may actually be his best career move in years.

Bale's vocal intonations actually make for quite a catchy tune. They're horrible words to say, but I love the way he says em!

Now I'm starting to wonder if Bale was purposely agitated and set-up to blow his stack. This all seems too convenient.

This incident is the first time in years that a Bale performance hasn't bored me to tears.

As Freud would say ... there are no accidents.

From TMZ:

The incident was audiotaped, and it's amazing. It happened on the set after a director of photography accidentally ruined a scene by walking onto the set. Bale lost it, screaming, yelling and threatening to quit if the bosses didn't fire the dude.

Film execs sent the tape to the insurance company that insured the film in case Bale bailed.

This song is now permanently stuck in my head. I can't figure out if it's a good thing or a bad thing for Bale. WHAT DON'T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?!!

This is a great dance song. I want the MP3!

Bale did an amazing job of tearing the moron DP a new hole. McG probably had to loan the guy one of his tampons afterward.

If you don't know what you're talking about, you should probably be quiet.

Adonis says ...

Phenomenal song.

I'd repeat my comments about the kind of yelling that goes on at a high-end restaurant or a political lobby office... but no one would probably read them anyway.

Far too much fun to say that Bale's jerk, or the DP was a jerk, or something equally as constructive.
