At first all I'd heard was that Bale had turned himself in for "assaulting" his mother and sister but was later released without being charged. Watching the news right now, they clarified that the "assault" was actually a verbal dispute the three had had and yelling at someone in England apparently counts as "verbal assault"... wtf.

I've never heard of that over here, just verbal abuse, as in when you have been subjected to it over a period of time.
I've been nailed for physical, crimnial damage and breach of the peace, and been a victim of verbal and phsyical abuse, but I have never ever heard of that crap.

But hey, what did they expect from the "american psycho"...

Evidently his mom and sis wanted to extort some money from him.  I don't know much about UK real estate, but it says his mother has a modest 275,000 pound house. That's approximately $650,000 which is hardly modest in my part of the US.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
