When he threatens to take a bat to her skull and then plant her in a rose garden, you’ll fully believe he’s capable of it. It’s that bad. I don’t know what his damage is — the last time he went nuts he blamed it on booze, although his speech here sure doesn’t sound slurred — but after eight minutes of profane rage, it’s clear that Grigorieva’s right about him needing medication. Look out for the snippet along the way when he complains about feeling no spiritual connection with his ex-wife. Really, Mad Max? The ex wasn’t into burying people in rose gardens?
This guy’s career is now the least of his worries, but for the record, his new flick with Jodie Foster is naturally in big trouble.
