Interesting, I guess the fortune and fame has finally gotten to his head. I don't imagine he would act like this earlier in his career. That's not to say he's incapable, just that he'd be a bit more reserved and tolerant to others mistakes. Now that's he a big movie star, it really sucks to see he's turning out to be a douche. He's one of my favorites too so I hope there's a bigger underlying reason why he was so harsh on the guy or I'll have to change my perception of him.

Anything short of stress caused to him by discovering recent news of a family member contracting a life threatening disease there can be no forgiveness.

"No. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

He should have used his Batman voice!

I can kind of understand his point if he's trying to get into character and doing a scene and somebody fucks it up, but he just went overboard. That is just horrible.

No I don't.

Neither do I exactly, except that they have big and sensitive egos needing a lot of care and stuff.

Hollywood: Serious business.

1:55:
"Let's not take a fucking minute, let's go again! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!"


You spank kids, or give a slap on the face.
This guy's an adult now, so I guess he needs an adult slap to the face: A solid punch. What an ass.

Exactly.
Really, it's a movie. He probably gets paid more in a minute than I make in a week.

"I'm gonna' fuckin' kick your fuckin' ass if you don't shut up for a second, alright? I'm gonna go - you want me to go trash your lights? I'm gonna go and trash your fuckin' lights! Do you want me to go fuckin' trash your lights?! Do you want me to fuckin' - then why are you trashing my scene? You are trashing my scene. You do it one more fucking time and I aint walking on this set if you're still hired."

I don't know, I've heard that gorillas have very small penises.

A horse would do the trick.

He wasn't even trying to get in an actual altercation. He was just posturing with an audience.

As long as he is still making outstanding movies and playing some of the best characters in cinema today he can be as big of a dick as he wants. I remember when he punched his mom people were saying she probably had it coming.

I'd like to see him try to talk that way with Morgan Freeman on the set (a la Batman). Morgan would probably lay him out on his ass :)

Eh, he takes his profession seriously. Very, very seriously. And he's not a fan of walking, either. Or lights, apparently.
