Tomlin WINS! Flawless victory.

shit, I thought this would bey Lilly Tomlin. I was confused.

Tomlin had a lot to say while she was filming the movie. http://www.videosift.com/video/Lily-Tomlin-No-Heart-Huckabees

I wonder if that's all the bullshit they say afterwards. Apparently Clooney and David O. Russell got in a brawl on the set of Three Kings.

From the NY Times article:
uly 24, 2003: The Car Trip [...]

So far, the actors have been remarkably tolerant of Mr. Russell's mischief. As Ms. Huppert later observed in a phone interview, the actors knew Mr. Russell was intentionally trying to destabilize them for the sake of their performances. ''He is fascinating, completely brilliant, intelligent and very annoying sometimes, too,'' she said. They also know he has created superb films from chaotic-seeming sets before. Besides, he's the director and the writer; now that they've cast their lot with him, they really don't have a choice.

But on what is meant to be the last take of the day, Ms. Tomlin, who recently ended an exhausting run of her one-woman play, collapses into Mr. Hoffman's arms crying and doesn't stop. As he embraces her, the wails grow louder and louder, and finally it becomes clear that she is not in character. After long moments, Ms. Tomlin breaks the tension by shouting at Mr. Hoffman: ''You're driving a hairpin into my head!'' Everyone collapses in laughter and the take is trashed.

But the drama is not over. The car scene takes several more hours to shoot, and as the sun fades, the accumulated tension erupts. Ms. Tomlin begins shouting at Mr. Russell: she is unhappy with the way she looks. She wants to try the scene a different way. She taunts him with a few expletives and curses at the other actors too. Their patience worn, the other actors laugh at her outburst.

Later, unfolding himself from the back seat of the Chevrolet, Mark Wahlberg jokes that his next project will be a nice, easy action film.

Tomlin had good things to say about working with Russell after this entire episode. Makes me wonder whether there's some "inside" technique going on here -- "eliciting performance" and all that. fetish?

Seems earlier copies are all dead, so guess it's cool (haven't studied the "laws" too hard :

No, I think that this is intended to be Michael Cera's and Judd Apatow's Lily Tomlin/Russell moment. The Huckabees stuff has been passed from crew to crew for a few years. A friend of mine who worked as a PA on a Russell film said that almost every day was like this clip.

a sentence!, a good sentence! that's good on film . . .

brilliant

Lily Tomlin was speaking for the rest of the abused cast when she verbally gave back. She had been berated, good for her for showing some gumption and speaking up! And she manages to be funny, can you hear where she says they need to be insured against the director?!! She's a class act. If a guy did talked back like this, it wouldn't be news.

Best part is the end, where Russell comes in and screams at Tomlin to "act like an adult", as the set is being cleared.

He berated the crew on Three Kings (one of my all-time favorite movies) and he and George Clooney got in a fistfight over it.

Don't know how many more movies he'll get to make, now that these videos are hitting the internets. That this made it off the set means he pissed someone else off, too.
