David O. Russell screams at Lily Tomlin
Uploaded by omgfrank
Sharon Waxman wrote in the New York Times article: "To get the performances he was after, Mr. Russell did all he could to raise the level of tension on set, unapologetically goading, shocking and teasing his actors. Sometimes these techniques prompted reactions that were less than photogenic. And in perhaps the most un-Hollywood move of all, Mr. Russell allowed a reporter to watch."

I guess you gotta do what you can to get the performance you want, but I heard that he went off like this on George Clooney, as well crew on the set of "Three Kings".
Again, it was all rumor, but if these keep up, he'll be our new "Buddy Rich"
I think it's pretty fascinating, actually. Clooney has talked a lot about his issues with this guy too.
I think the next movie Tomlin made was probably Altman's Prairie Home Companion. . .obviously she came back to him for more. I suspect the biggest problems on Altman movies was the cast sitting around, passing the bong...
Anyhow, I like the guy's passion. Sometimes I'd like to do that to some of the people who work for me!
But I don't. And I guess there is the difference.
