Maybe primadonna isn&#8217;t even the right word &#8212; asshole, maybe? I mean, I still think he&#8217;s a pretty great actor when he wants to be, but this is easily the worst behind-the-scenes flipout to come out in recent history. Bill O&#8217;Reilly? Chris Berman? Nothing compared to this tirade on the set of <em>Terminator Salvation</em>. Guess he was all ready with his intense face and when he couldn&#8217;t take his anger out on robots, he had to take it out on that dude.</p>
<p>You can listen to it at the awesome site <a href="http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/?p=9347">FilmDrunk</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s pretty hilarious how he seems in charge of the set, instead of the <strong>DIRECTOR</strong> of the movie, McG. I wouldn&#8217;t allow a guy with a name likeÂ  that to tell me what to do either, even if it is a stage name. Wait, that&#8217;s even worse.</p>

<p>Every self-respecting baseball fan should. I don&#8217;t want to hear these arguments about now all of a sudden jumping on steroid users even though a few years back no one said a thing. I was younger then &#8211; and naive. And I frankly don&#8217;t truly remember what I thought back then. I don&#8217;t believe I was ever that entranced by the whole &#8220;Home Run Chase&#8221;. McGwire and Sosa both made a mockery of the record that Maris held for 40 years. They obliterated it, and it was due to them being steroid-fueled monsters. Now Bonds is making his assault on the all-time home run record.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t want to see him signed this year. For a little while there, I actually had the stupid hope of Bonds not being signed for the 2007 season. Unfortunately, the Giants are just that desperate. They gave the hobbling Bonds a $16 million contract for next year so he can look like a 60-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis in the outfield.  Hopefully one of his knees explodes.</p>
<p>I cringe at the thought of Bonds hitting home run number 756. Not only is he a rabid roid-head, he&#8217;s a pretty horrible human being by most accounts. He had a mistress that he intimidated into silence for a long while. His teammates hate his ass. He also has a persecution complex in which he blames everyone else for his problems. Remember that interview in which he stated, &#8220;Well, you&#8217;ve done it. You&#8217;ve brought me down. You&#8217;ve finally done it,&#8221; and then he hobbled away with his son in tow. I couldn&#8217;t contain my laughter. This is not a man worthy of breaking Hank Aaron&#8217;s record.</p>
<p>I can only hope that if he breaks the record, he does it to a resounding chorus of boos not seen this side of Yankee Stadium after A-Rod strikes out. Of course, if he does it in San Francisco, they&#8217;ll all eat it up. Argh.</p>
