I Heart Huckabees director David O. Russell's fiery temper has a reputation, but who knew that Lily Tomlin could hold her own so well in a fight? The two clashed more than once during the filming of Huckabees, and twice it was caught on tape. Watch the second, crazier clip after the jump.
UPDATE: YouTube has deleted these clips twice, so we'll give Daily Motion a try. Enjoy!
UPDATE 2: It disappeared on Daily Motion, but cropped up again in Russia! Hopefully it will be around to stay this time.
Lily Tomlin is an insane bitch. She deserved that reaction from David O. Russell. She was never a good actress (see "gem" performances like Popeye and the Incredible Shrinking Woman.) Whoever defends her behavior should see a psychiatrist. She's a pain in the ass and you need to recognize that.
LILY TOMLIN is one of the most RESPECTED ACTRESSES AND COMEDIANS on the PLANET.
This lowlife who called her a C*NT among other things came across as a sociopathic mysogynistic piece of shit who has no business directing anyone if he cannot direct his own behavior and conform to living on earth and working w/professional people.
What a repulsive spoiled brat he was and forever he will be remembered this way on celluloid.
By the way, for more of the directirs crap check out the info in wikipedia about Clooney defending the crew on THree Kings, and Russels mature reaction
will this footage be in the DVD extras when it's re-released? this is great publicity for a film i'd hoped to only see once. i now plan to buy this on HD-DVD. dammit. i'm a sucker for net marketing :)
I see your coworkers really have balls of jello. You would think when David Russell became violent in the second clip someone would step in. You know jello does melt when heated............LOL.
Lilly Tomlin - I LOVE YOU MORE THAN EVER. You are a national treasure -- a brilliant actor with a career to prove it. WHAT A FUCKING DICK O. RUSSELL is -- he obviously has NO respect for actors -- for the process -- for talent. I hope these clips are seen by every studio exec in Hollywood. I hope O Russell never works again. Every exec I know ( I'm a producer) who has seen this clips feels the same way I do. He's a director in over his head, unable to communicate, unable to understand the talents of the people he cast.
STUPID! STUPID! UNTALENTED DICK!
Good for you Lilly!
How can anyone fail to see that O. Russell is a COLOSSAL DICK?? Don't blame Lily Tomlin for not suffering his abuse gladly. And the irony of screeching at her for being childish? You have to laugh at that. Her venting in the first clip was clearly built up from taking his shit. At least she had the fucking nerve to stand up to him.
Rewatching I noticed that Jason doesn't even flinch when the director goes batshit & trashes the desk. He keeps his foot up on the desk & doesn't move or speak. Meanwhile Dustin beats a hasty retreat. Jason doesn't move until the end when the guy comes back in and starts calling her a cunt and flipping out. My guess is he walked away because he realized it wasn't going to end quickly- lol
I'm a Lily fan but I have to say she comes off crazy in the 1st clip & It seems like in clip 2 she drove him to flip out. Granted, his behavior was far from the norm... but you will notice that Jason (Schwartzman) never got up and tried to defend her or anything- and in all reality Dustin kept fairly quiet too except for the 8 words he said in the car.
Lily seems nuts
