Christian Bale’s hat trick.

By now, you’ve heard the clip and remix, maybe read definitive reliable alternative confirmation about what really happened, or perhaps even ordered a t-shirt. But, there’s more to it. Bale with the hat trick:

1) Audio. Damn thing’s CD quality. Nice job! Usually this stuff sounds like Neil Armstrong calling from the moon, but props to the sound engineer for keeping the audio going. (Sound guy, don’t worry, I’m sure they won’t trace it back to you.) Kim, take note next time.

2) Original content. Sure he could’ve released the typical studio behind the scenes stuff that Access Hollywood loves, (like Cruise does when he’s going for the image makeover). Instead, he released original material. Score!

3) Catch phrases. “You and me are done professionally.” Meme for the win.

Good work looking at it, rather than through it.

Logo guy, you rule with this post - witty and insightful.

Plus, Bale's went off on the director of photography whose name is Shane Hurlbut.

Hurlbut????

Like hurl (as in barf) and but as in butt?

Couldn't have made up a better name for the dude in a fictional story.
