Lily Tomlin freaking out at asshole David O. Russell

On the set of "I heart Huckabees."

Still hilarious so many years later! Good for her.

Love this, because David is a complete tool.

To add some context to what a nightmare David O. Russell is, and what a nightmare shooting that film was. Here he is throwing a temper tantrum, calling Lily a cunt, and knocking things over.

Oh, and "I heart Huckabees" sucked, by the way.

I thought Silver Linings Playbook was a terrible movie. An actually bad movie, and a terrible, fallacious depiction of mental illness with lame Afterschool Special characterizations. I don’t understand its Oscar nominations.

Thanks, OP! I just flashbacked to this (on Gawker, mebbe?) about a week ago, and wasn't near a screen to relive it...and promptly forgot about it!

Your welcome, R6. I just caught an episode of Grace & Frankie with the lovely Miss Lily and randomly remembered this.

Yeah, OP...hadn't seen it since it leaked, and man...I'm even more sympathetic to Tomlin, if possible. Anyone who's worked with a rotten boss (particularly creatives) can sympathize with her.

Throw in Hoffman in a wig playing peace-maker with Tomlin's frustrations...wow...really interesting.

Ain't the motion pictures glamorous!

He’s made one really great movie - Flirting With Disaster. The rest have been totally unremarkable.

Didn’t George Clooney supposedly punch DOR in the face on the set of “Three Kings?”

Wouldn't many actors just be shitty on purpose after being berated by a maniac like Russell did to LT?

by Anonymousreply 12July 17, 2018 2:39 PM

I agree r5. It was awful - like a Lifetime movie of the week. Furthermore Jennifer Lawrence did not deserve that Oscar (and I think she’s very good)

I can understand her being enraged at the director. But she shouldn't have taken out her anger on Dustin and Naomi Watts in the back of the car. Dustin was only trying to calm her down.

r15 Ha!. Most of the actors probably knew what was going on and did nothing about it. That’s probably why she’s so frustrated.

I love Isabelle Huppert throughout that whole ordeal!

R9, Three Kings was OK. I remember critics creaming their panties over it in 1999...

Naomi caught a little shrapnel there didn't she?

The biggest mystery is how Russell could take such a talented cast and still make such a mediocre movie!

Yes!

John Waters asked her about it in an interview;

-- JW: I'm going to close with one of your most amazing performances. In the lead YouTube footage of Lily Tomlin and David O. Russell having a fight. And you are just sitting there with no reaction. Then suddenly, in the best Warholian move, you just check your makeup.

-- IH: Well, I was a little bit surprised. It was weird. But actually nothing really surprises me in a David O. Russell movie anyway. None of us knew what camera was on.

-- JW: Checking your makeup was such a perfect, perfect way to upstage everyone.

R215, Isabelle Huppert is great. Not only checks her makeup but calls over "Felicia" the makeup artist.

She must have been thinking, "Americans are such assholes!"

I feel for Naomi Watts.

She giggled out of sheer embarrassment. And then she apologizes!

Russell is a creep. Certified.

Tomlin has said she would work with DOR again. She chalks it up to a heat of the moment type atmosphere. Russell maybe has mellowed in 15 years.

by Anonymousreply 29October 29, 2018 12:42 AM

LOL! Lily even told Patty Arquette in the backseat to stfu. Everyone but Huppert was getting it that day.

I remember that clip of DOR screaming at Lily from years ago. It's so funny when he storms off the set only to come right back in.

Chris Nolan jokingly said that he stormed off his own set once but came back because no one noticed.

by Anonymousreply 30October 29, 2018 12:51 AM

Er, Naomi Watts in the backseat... had my DOR movies mixed up.

Dustin Hoffman is surprisingly good playing the peacemaker.

@ R32--When he's not surprise raping people, groping tits and asses and slapping his co-stars, he's a real diplomat.

That’s why it’s such a surprise, r33.

I love Lily Tomlin. She is always a professional. This movie cost 20 million to make and made 20.1 million. I bought his previous movie Flirting with Disaster mainly because I love that girl with the horrible teeth Patty Arquette. I have never heard of I heart huckabees.

You can also see a glimpse of Mark Wahlberg in the back.

Between this freakout and the leaked tape of Christian Bale freaking out, there used to be a lot of interesting Youtube vids of stars under pressure!

Patty was awesome in Medium.

This vid does make movie making seem very boring and un-glamourous.

OMG, r38! I just clicked on that and I'm actually watching Medium. They're in bed on MAD TV, I look up and they're in bed on the real show and the shots are almost identical. Very surreal.

R37 here., oh, and the Mel Gibson freakout and threaten girlfriend leaked tape.

by Anonymousreply 42October 29, 2018 7:47 PM

R38 thank you for posting that. I had forgotten about this parody. It was spot on, mad TV had so many great pop culture parodies. All snl has in terms of pop culture parodies are stupid game show skits. Which make no sense because nobody watches game shows anymore.

OMG at that MadTv clip HA! I used to love Medium in my stoner days.

R44 I know. The parody gets Patty's weird way of talking and acting plus her awful teeth.

R45, slightly crooked front tooth is horrible teeth?

I was wishing that Lily Tomlin had a curse word stronger than the "f" word to use!

Seeing this behavior tolerated in the workplace sheds light on the proliferation of #metoo incidents in the entertainment industry.

R48, this vid only shows foul language and verbal abuse, and by a woman.

I don’t really blame her for snapping at Naomi. Embarrassed gigglers annoy the shit out of me.

by Anonymousreply 50October 31, 2018 1:55 AM

R50, well at least Naomi's giggle had an Australian accent.

That counts for something.

R49 - I didn't claim this was a #metoo incident. It is clearly unacceptable behavior for the workplace. The fact this kind of behavior was tolerate sheds light on how #metoo behavior was tolerated.
