But when a white male actor of somewhat high regard indulges in it, its taboo and unprofessional? Give me a break.

This industry is all smoke and mirrors. Everyone acts like they like each other and its La La Land but everyone actually really hates each other. They only act cool because they dont know if and when theyll have to work with each other again. So what if he had a hissy fit? It happens all the fucking time. Doesnt make it right, but if anyone really has a problem with it then dont watch tv, go on the internet, see a new movie, subscribe to a magazine or buy a new cd ever again bc thats how these people are making their money.

And the pressure of the industry obviously manifests itself in different ways. Id rather see Bale freak out at the right person at the right time, as opposed to acting like nothings wrong, internalizing the frustration and later becoming anorexic, a junkie or philanderer or other sort of trainwreck (remember Robert Downey Junior, River Phoenix, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson?) People who are such a pleasure to work with dont last in the industry, or at least are not respected within it.

A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration

first of all, BARING, not BEARING. Second of all immersive? Immersive isn't even a word. And even if it were a word you wouldn't use it to modify concentration like that. Ugh. What a fucking disgrace.

Although I guess his terrible writing and his revolting appearance sort of clamshell together to form a gestalt that nerds and geeks everywhere can empathize with.

And finally Bale: grow up. You had a tough day. Everyone does. Deal with it like a fucking man, don't spaz out like a child.
