Leaked footage of David O. Russell throwing major tantrum on set of "Huckabees"
Jesus, I've read articles of Russell being a total asshole, but never actually saw it in the flesh until now (I still like Huckabees though):

Another brief clip of Tomlin yelling at Russell (she can hear him in her earpiece):

These clips have already gotten pulled a couple of times, so if you can't see it, I can transcribe them.

Holy crap that was awesome. I thought Tomlin was being a bit bitchy, but that guy went flipping insane. I almost lost my drink when he walked out the back and came through the side door... WHY DON'T YOU ACT LIKE A GROWN UP!!!!
Probably the greatest on-set rant I've ever seen, I loved watching the other actors and crew just act like nothing was going on, then leave in a big group at the end. I actually want to see what this movie turned out to be after that, that was fantastic. Thanks OP.

Tomlin actually did a pretty good job of keeping her composure during that rant, I would have gone off on him something terrible if I were her, if he had called me a ****!

AM I FUCKING YELLING!!!!! I'VE NEVER FUCKING YELLED AT YOU!!!!!! I'd hate to hear him when he's yelling.
Taken alone, it's hard to tell who's the asshole: Russell or Tomlin. But with the Clooney incident, I think I'd have to side with Tomlin on this one. Hoffman is so calm and cool though

Pretty good stuff. While Tomlin did seem to start it with her cursing streak on the set, he certainly had more anger and passion behind his attack. Then there's the altercation with George Clooney in which he apparently tried to strangle him plus this that I got off of Wikipedia:
"Not long after this, an altercation occurred at a Hollywood party between Russell and Christopher Nolan (Director of Batman Begins). During preproduction for Russell's film I ♥ Huckabees, Jude Law abandoned his commitment to the project to instead take the lead role in Nolan's film Memento. Russell was so infuriated that he had lost the star of his upcoming project that he retaliated at a Hollywood party by placing Christopher Nolan into a headlock. Russell refused to release the headlock until Nolan released Jude Law from the lead role of his film. Almost immediately afterward, Jude Law left the Memento project and returned to Russell's film."
At the very least he's certainly passionate about what he does. I hate reality shows but one centered on him snapping at people might actually be worth my time.
Edit: Heres a longer version of Lilly flipping out in the car which is apparently what set him off.

Neither seem like pleasant individuals.
So, in what order did these happen?

I can't believe that no one has ever bitch-slapped the shit out of this chicken neck goat fucker before.
In my world, there's pencil necked coward, and then there's David O. Russell.

It's funny how in the one with Tomlin in the car, she even snaps at Naomi Watts and Dustin Hoffman. And Hoffman, being the pro he is, tries to diffuse it as best he can.
All the while, Whalberg and Hupperrt are just smirking at it all.
Russell is just not good with people, it seems.

Tomlin seems to come off like a real Cu*t with a capital C...
I'm sorry but i don't think Russell is to blame here...
I also feel bad for Dustin Hoffman cause he seems to be just stunned by this chick screaming in his ear...
They must have made up though considering the participation of all of them on the fantastic 2-disk Huckabees DVD...
