Introducing the “Big Hollywood” Theme Song
by Andrew BreitbartI don’t know what RevoLucian is but he, she, it or they is or are (a) genius(es)!
Listen to the *** profanity-laced *** techno-masterpiece inspired by Christian Bale’s ‘Terminator: Salvation’ set rage-out against cinematographer Shane Hurlbut for mistakenly walking into his scene.
The story is less than a day old but is already a legend of the Hollywood tirade genre.
If ‘Big Hollywood’ were ever to have a vote on the site’s theme song, I’d have to stop the voting early. Because ‘Bale Out’ would win. ‘Cause I’m in effin’ charge! Enjoy:
Bale Out – RevoLucian’s Christian Bale Remix!
I don’t think I will ever get this out of my head! Extra credit to RevoLucian for incorporating a previous Barbra Streisand profanity-laced tirade into the mix.

I admire people’s creativity. Reminds me of the O’Reilly Dance remix.

Now we see why Mom called the cops. Pretty much destroys the illusion and will hear this every time he’s on the screen.
Nice “professionalism” there pal.
Up there with Chris Berman.
OMG, this is so awesome. I thought the orig “acoustic” version was awesome…but this remix takes the cake!
Brilliant, I love it! Good beet, good sequencing, good harmonizer.
That could so easily be the song dedicated by all of us to the current Administration and Congress. What would happen if any one of us, in our real jobs, reacted that way when someone interrupted us? “I’m trying to f-ing unjam the copier!” “Why did you f-ing walk in on me while I’m working on this f-ing PowerPoint deck for our f-ing boss?”. So self-absorbed, and self-important, but a good actor still.
Seriously – I can’t emphasize enough how much I love this. I think I know what song I’ll be singing the rest of the day!
It would have been better if he had done the tirade with his Batman “congested nasal speech impediment” voice.
Oh man, this is so wrong – but hilarious.
Is he insane? Sure, but what an incredible talent! The fact that Bale was able to cue up that music before he unleashed his tirade is sheer creative brilliance.
Viva de la RevoLucian.

Iowahawk, Do Tommy Lasorda and Earl Weaver count?
What I can’t figure out is, why can’t we hear a trace of his normal Welsh accent? The American accent almost makes it feel like he did this in character.
Anyway, who would have thought that the star of American Psycho might have some anger issues?
Andrew, those are classics but I think baseball managers deserve their own category. Along with TV kiddie show hosts.
Iowa, it’s actually, ” Get of my BAND!!!!”
Which is crazy funny.
Still, great HOF choice.
I’d put Lasorda going off on Paul Olden in there as well.
I had to go to RevoLucian’s website where you can download the very danceable “Bale Out” to your iTunes.
What is it with all you Bale defenders? “Oh, it was a long day…Bale was tired, give him a break.” How ’bout gimme a break. The guy makes millions of dollars to dress in a bat suit and yell “Where is he!?” Ahh, poor Christian.
If you talked like that to a coworker in any other profession you would be fired on the spot! Bale is a loser.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Breitbart, you ARE the effen man. Perfect theme song.
Wow, that’s really catchy! I’ll be singing that all night. Love the added Barbra Streisand, too.
Boo Ya!
I’m really disapppointed that Big Hollywood finds this disgusting, infantile junk funny. I know I’ll be raked over the coals for having no sense of humor about it, but the original rant is actually disturbing. I can understand Bale blowing up – momentarily. But his extended humiliation of the DP is way beyond the pale. Not funny. Honestly, let’s be above this.
The American Idol coronation number?
I think we’ve found it.

You have a valid point. If someone went off like this in the average workplace there’d be hell to pay.
But I understand why people are making fun of this. By making a public spectacle of Bale maybe he’ll think twice before behaving like this again. Probably not, but we can hope.
The worst part of this whole deal is that stars like Bale know they have everyone over a barrel and no one will be willing to jeopardize the big bucks put into producing a major motion picture by standing up to that kind of behavior. Releasing the tape is a pretty big deal when you think about it. When the movie is released this tape will probably resurface and it may make people think twice about whether or not to spend money on seeing someone like Bale on the big screen. So I love this. If celebrities know their poor behavior might be made public and they might actually have to answer for their antics… who knows. Maybe some better behavior might be the result.
Mark,
This is an INDICTMENT of Bale. It is comeuppance for the DP. That’s how I look at it. The average American doesn’t know that on a Hollywood set that this behavior is allowed to stand. SQT, I agree with you. Now there will be consequences for the behavior. I remember when the producer of a Lindsey Lohan movie called her out in a public letter for her on the clock behavior. These are incidents where the spoiled celebs are held accountable.
Mark Tapson
It’s funny because the remix is making fun of Bale and his rant. We are made to laugh at the incident from a distance as well as the creative way it is remixed. Of course the rant itself is unpleasant and Bale has some issues – no one denies that. Still there is humor here.
I love this. This guy Bale is making more money for pretending to be Batman for a few weeks than most people will ever make in their whole lives. He receives fame, adulation, star treatment – he should be on his knees mumbling humble thanks to the DP and crew who make him look ten times better than he could ever be alone. Instead, he treats the man like dirt. Shame isn’t enough. This requires humiliation at the level of genius – and here it is, by way of RevoLucian. This is not only the Big Hollywood theme song, I may make it my personal theme song and have it played whenever I enter a room. Fortunately, I don’t get out much.
Excellent! At this point in his career, every paycheck makes him a muli-millionaire again. There is no excuse for his behavior. None. It would have taken 30 seconds to pull the DP aside and request that he not enter Bale’s line of vision. Issue solved.
People who use language like that are lacking in a sufficient vocabulary to express themselves. They’re kind of ignorant, really. And they certainly lack polish. I get so tired of these people and all the attention the media gives them.
Thanks Andrew and Moddem, I should have explained a little more. I understand this makes fun of Bale’s behavior, and I’m all for holding “spoiled celebs accountable,” as Andrew put it. I’ve just lost my taste for reveling in crudity, and I feel that if the incident’s turned into a big internet joke, the real ugliness of it will dissipate. It’ll just become another Worst Celebrity Moment for 10th-rate comedians on VH1 to laugh about.
But I’m also reading comments here and elsewhere, like Anne Thompson’s blog, that suggest or outright state that Bale’s rant (or as one commenter put it, his “little outburst”) makes him “sexy” and “dangerous,” and that it’s excuseable because he does great work. His work is irrelevant – his humiliation of the DP borders on sadism, not sexy intensity.
“I’m really disappointed that Big Hollywood finds this disgusting, infantile junk funny.

I’m so tired of fellow conservatives/republicans and their “Maturity.” So obsessed with some high minded notion of civility/propriety that they can’t even get the joke and see how this is damaging to Hollywood elites. Mark, you remind me of the British during the revolutionary war. Just keep telling us to stay in formation, never mind the fact that rebels are sniping our officers from the bushes.
Boogeyman, see my comment just above yours.
Oops, SQT, I meant to include you in my earlier response. I agree that hopefully the publicity of Bale’s explosion will have some impact, but I’m skeptical. I think the public is more amused by that kind of thing than disturbed, and I don’t want to reinforce that attitude.
[...] Christian Bale goes ballistic, and you can dance to it. Posted by Dan Collins @ 5:15 pm | Trackback SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Christmas in Darfur [Dan Collins]“, url: “http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=14248″ }); [...]
Have any of you ever been in an intense moment of concentration (especially one requiring you ACT in a certain way) and been interrupted? You can all scream megalomaniac but it comes with the territory of method acting such powerful characters.
For maximum brain-warping effect, watch John Rolfe in The New World (2005) with the sound off, while listening to Bale Out – RevoLucian’s Christian Bale Remix!
I’m a school teacher. Today my professional demeanor slipped for a moment when I used the word “dammit” while disciplining a kid. I felt ashamed for my breach of decorum. Genuine shame. A teacher instructs his students in the manly virtues, like self-control and regard for others, by modeling these same virtues in practice. I am the only male, role-model for a goodly number of kids with no father in their lives.
I don’t know Christian Bale from Adam, but I am appalled and offended that any human being has this sort of license to inflict abuse on others. The incident leads me to believe that the lives of the rich and famous have gone beyond the merely self-indulgent into a realm of perversity. It makes me shudder.
I don’t claim to be a saint. I have a footlocker full of moral failings, unkind moments, and bad decisions. One of my aims in life is to add no more baggage to my collection from the past. I suppose I should be thankful for my station in life. I could do worse; I could be Christian Bale.
Silver Guy,
Is absolute nasty abuse, vile language and threats of violence part of “method acting”? There are ways to handle problems in life, even when you are a high rolling “star”. Nothing, I repeat, nothing should provoke such a reaction. No one deserves to be talked to like that.
RevoLucian is songwriter Lucian Piane who happens to be my next door neighbor. I called him when I saw the song posted on BigHollywood. I’m possibly the only straight conservative male in West Hollywood, figured if I didn’t let him know about the site he may never find out that the song was posted.
I work in film and find a high level of professionalism throughout the departments and ranks, even at the lowest budget level. In any case, no mistake deserves this sort of reaction. It’s sociopathic, and an explosion of a disordered inner life. Anyway, my guess is that Bale only did it because he knew the DP wouldn’t retaliate. One day one of these emotionally deranged children will come up against some roughneck Aussie DP or director who simply won’t take it. It would be fun to be on that set.
Wonder what Mr.Crankypants thinks of this remix? I’m sure he has a couple of choice words…
Funny as all hell. I can’t get it out of my head.
But the question does remain, where the hell was/is McG?
He should have kept both the DP and Bale in line. I can’t imagine a John Ford or John Huston tolerating this sort of outburst.
It really shows directors must be more than artists, they must coral the talent like cattle as Hitchcock once said. McG does not seem to get this. The situation should have never gotten to this. Too many modern directors are fanboys first and do not know how to deal with productions in a business sense.
Even modern directors like Eastwoood or Spielberg would not have tolerated this. It tells me that McG really did not command Bale’s repect on the set or Bale would have went to him first.
I think Bale could have better conveyed the gravitas of the situation to the DP if he spoke in his Batman voice. A McG-directed, third sequel to a killer robot flick is not a thing to be taken lightly.
Vote Yay

Honorable mention to Andrew “Dice” Clay on CNN

Christian Bale/Feat Patty Blogojevich and Alec Baldwin
Well, like most people posting here I am a big fan of Bale’s acting. And that outburst was absolutely “World Class Actor Tantrum.” That doesn’t mean I think it was okay. Just not that shocking to me.
Now, I wasn’t there, but I spent a number of years as a “script doctor” on big budget movies, often trying to stay a day or two ahead of the camera. That generally makes for a tense set. And a SCREAMING TANTRUM is far from a rare event on a tense film set. Can’t think of a single production I’ve been on that didn’t have at least one. And it isn’t always the actors. Directors sometimes perform an angry aria to cast and crew as well. Usually, everyone just kind of endures it with their eyes averted, because it’s embarrassing for everyone when it’s happening, then the next day the Director or the Actor comes back in, apologizes, and makes a big show of confessing what a jerk they’d been. Hugs the target of their wrath in public view, and everyone gets on with the movie.
The difference is, most of the time the crew keeps it “in the family” rather than releasing it to the internet or TMZ. I think that’s the classier way to handle it. I’m not making any excuses for Bale, but I’m glad no one follows me around with a microphone when I’m having a bad day.
Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had all day. Christian Bale! You’re a classless DOUCHE BAG! And while w’re at it, your “Batman” voice sucks. Batman isn’t supposed to have a lisp.
Balls Flotard? Of the Connecticut Flotards?
What’s all this mention of “DP”? What kind of film IS this?
DP. Translation: Director of Photography. The guy who designs all the lighting and is most responsible for visual look of the camerawork. A very important department head on a production.
Check out the new Christian Bale T- shirt from one of my favorite web sites: Despair.com
http://site.despair.com/christianbale/
Christian and I are done professionally. LOL!!!
Thanks Brvowhsky. I suspected as such, but since this was a motion picture I didn’t think they would use “photography” which is usually associated with stills, though that is the same idea.
100 bucks to the next DP that walks in the background of a Bale shoot.
BTW, thanks Iowahawk – I have listened to the Buddy Rich meltdown over and over and laughed myself silly.
It’s actually Balthazar Flotard, Andrew. But “Balls” to my friends and fellow conservatives.
And Forlourned, you can rationalize and dismiss Bale’s immature outburst any way you see fit, but the fact of the matter is, he shrieked like a petulant child and threatened bodily violence on a member of the crew who calmly and sincerely apologized. There is no excuse for that kind of petulant behavior. He may be an “artist”, but he is also a human being and (hopefully) a functioning member of society and should conform to basic tenents of decency and restraint when facing lifes little “challenges”. He’s still a walking douche bag, who deserves no respect for that episode, no matter how you want to wrap it.
Let me guess, you’re probably hoping that imbecile SAG President Rosenberg succeeds in bringing back that other walking douche bag, Doug Allen, whoisthisclose to sending SAG into the toilet with another strike while the rest of the country teeters on financial disaster.
Shame upon all who would either excuse or condone this behavior. No excuses! None. Not ever for this type of comportment. Wealth and privilege excuse no man from the norms of civilized discourse, nor from commonly held standards of behaviour. “Common” is a low word in English usage, but a very high word when it refers to standards of public morality based on decency. Common decency. If those two words don’t resonate in your soul, then you have no soul. And a soulless nation will not survive. God save the republic!
How would you react if this happened to you on a Key and Prominent scene that you personal believed would garner notice and praise from your peers? Never mind that; how about to you personally if the scene was intense, so intense that you had to strain every part of your mind and body to convey the angsts (sic), fear, sadness, anger or despair and a person drops something or moved something loudly or even just walk into your field of view to move some lights during it?
How would you react to that?
Oh. My. God. Where do I start?
First, by calling bull**it on this little piece of tripe.
Second, let me set a scene for you.
Let’s pretend you’re my husband. You’re a broker for one of the brokerage firms featured so heavily on the news. You know the ones; the ones that Pelosi and Frank like to blame for the economic meltdown while they pretend they’ve never heard of Freddie Mac or Fannie May. But you’re not one of the big fish. You’re a guy who’s just been trying to support your family for the last 14 years. You haven’t gotten one of those bonuses everyone keeps complaining about. All you’ve gotten is abuse hurled at you by angry clients who think you should somehow have anticipated the meltdown of stock-market. Never mind the fact that every sector of the economy has gone to sh** and there are no safe havens– you should have known better. You should have done better than limited the damage to less than half the losses of the stock market, you should have prevented any loss.
Now pretend you’re at work on one of the days when the market is in major meltdown mode; 700+ points down. People are freaking out and you’re just trying to keep everyone from pulling all their money out while you’re still not sure your company is going to be in business tomorrow. You’re wondering if you should look at working for another company but then you realize all of the brokerage firms are posting billions of dollars in losses. It’s a bloodbath all around.
Now, imagine you get a call from the FBI. No sh**. A client is being investigated for fraud.
Stressed yet?
So what do you do? Do you blow up at the next co-worker who pokes their head in your office to ask you some stupid question? Do you hurl abuse at the next client who starts freaking out over the latest news headlines about your company? I mean, you’re justified right? This qualifies as sufficient stress to lose your mind and take it out on some other unsuspecting person doesn’t it? After all, that’s what everyone has been doing to you.
Or do you behave like a grown up and do your job?
I am so sick of hearing about the “artistic” temperament. It’s nothing more than an empty excuse to behave like an a**. I also know that as this economy gets worse one of the first luxuries I’m giving up is going to the movies. I can live without cable TV if I have to. The entertainment industry is nothing but a bunch of fluff. It’s not a necessity. Bale better hope that enough people are willing to shell out their hard earned– and much needed–money to see his movies. I guarantee he’d be a much nicer guy if he wasn’t the big name attached to this movie and needed the paycheck to support his family. Behaving like an a**hole is a luxury he may not be able to afford much longer.
Very good point SQT (by the way, where’s my money, I want it back?).
Lol. It’s in the same black hole that sucked up my husband’s deferred comp.
You expanded on my original point very well. There are people out there dealing with life and death situations every day– not just pretending to. And yet the real people who make sure our lives are so convenient and safe get no leeway. We save that for the actors and the athletes. We all know they’re the really important people in modern society. How could we live without them?
Oh yeah. We could.
SQT – Great ponts, girl! (and I don’t mean that…’suggestively’.)
KLAVAN — I’d invite you to dinner just to hear you enter with that theme music.
IOWA – Ha! Olbermann…oiy. I carry a large lemon meringue pie in my vest pocket on the off chance i meet him some night.
DOUG — I’m not a D.P. but does that C-note stand if i STREAK behind him in the b.g.
BREITBART — “…of the Connecticut Flotards?” Ya killin me, I laughed so hard I almost swallowed my own tongue.
This is a fun thread. And abso-freakin’-lutely stars should be called out for this kind of crap. Yeah, of course, there’s a ton of pressure and sometimes it’s really really difficult…but FTS! For that money, suck it up! And yeah you can vent, but why destroy the guy? Def an A-hole alert.
That was cool.
I’d watch it again, but I need to return some videotapes.
Hahaha…the only thing I think it could use would be a high-pitched background chorus in a few places singing, “HOPEANDCHAAANGE, HOPEANDCHAAANGE…”
This is the funniest thing I have heard in years! These arrogant jerks are just throwing themselves under the bus; they don’t need any help. (Witness Ashton Kutscher’s pathetic temper tantrum; I mean, here’s a guy worried about “ending 21st century slavery” who can’t handle a neighbor’s construction project while living in a multi-million dollar home.) Simply because someone was born with an extra helping of looks or talent does not give them the right to lord it over others. This behavior is despicable. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
So we’ve pretty much capitulated on the whole coarsening of the culture thing?
MP3 already downloaded and on my iPod….Awesome!
Christian sure was miked well! And his delivery is flawless. Take away the f-bombs and it’s like he’s delivering a well deserved dress down to an imcompetent subordinate. No wonder folks are giving him a pass. Personally, I can’t handle that kind of profanity. He sure has come a long way from that cute little boy actor in Empire of the Sun, no?
Bale should be angry, but not about having a scene ruined.
He lost out on the King Richard Role in Nottingham with Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe – which probably won’t go ahead any time soon but Steve Innes, the Aussie actor got that role for whenever it goes ahead.
No Oscar of BAFTA or SAG nomination this year for Bale so I am not really sure where he gets off playing the diva.
There is no greater rant than this. Warning! Put on your Depends before clicking the link, because you will pee your pants:
http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/SW/Casey_Kasem_-_Doggie_Death_Dedication.mp3
Now if we could only get Christian Bale SAG casted in a film shot by Michael Chapman ASC. That would be a great SAG/ASC celebrity death match!!!
Ahh… Only if William Wellman was still around to referee!!!
I am so sending this to my Socialist Mother.
He’s saying word for word lines I’ve used.
Another vivid example of ‘positional narcissism’, rampant in Hollywierd and where I live in Washington, DC. Too much power/fame erodes the humility and common sense that most people have.
I feel a new line dance coming out with this one!
