I hope she didn't scream like that at my favorite guy Garrison Kellior from Prairied Home Companion. Oh Yea, Lindsey was in that movie. Must have been a real treat for the midwesterner cum Lutheran.

How about that poor PA who gets drilled with the desk remnants as Russell flings them across the room.

Team Clooney!

Lily gets major props. She barely flinched. As much as I loved Flirting With Disaster, Russell is done, over. Total tool.

Clooney moves up a notch (to my surprise).

Thank you, D.O.D. You hit it on the head. Lily Tomlin like a favorite aunt? I'm reminded of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode when the LA Times fucks up his wife's relative's obit. "Devoted sister, beloved cunt."

Russell's second entrance in the opposite door kills. It really is better than that movie.

I imagine that the Pollack /Hoffman blow-ups on Tootsie would have been more of master's class in blow-up theory rather than the mr prima-donna-lily-f-bomb-meltdown....oh and boy did he ever mess up the continuity in that shot, huh...

and, courtesy of imdb, via fark, here is my favorite short review of I-HEART-H

"I would call this film a *wretched* mess, rather than a beautiful one. There is no "there" there in I HEART HUCKABEES, and the relentless, cloying cuteness with which everyone tosses-off philosophical blather is, at best, annoying. There's a tragic sense the lavish cast feels it is participating in a project of monumental importance, but the performances -- which range wildly from energetic to phoned-in -- are utterly wasted on the material which can only be described as an exercise in intellectual masturbation. The highly praised visual touches are totally arbitrary and inconsequential, and much of the action and motivation is absurd. But of course it's supposed to be, and therefore I'm supposed to go along with it...right? Wrong. I couldn't stand trying to fathom the psychic vacuum of I HEART HUCKABEES, nor motivate myself to care about anything I saw. I only wish I could get back the time and money I spent on this hollow, pretentious tripe".

Echoing the Hoffman amazement. And I imagine the blow-ups on TOOTSIE between Dusty and Pollack were twice as vicious.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking Edward! I love how Dusty silently slinks off-camera during the "cunt" scene. (In the old days he'd been the puppetmaster of this whole thing!) It doesn't take a genius to figure out which side of the argument he was on.

What amazes--and moves--me is that Hoffman has evolved into the soul of equanimity.

These two videos are *twice* the movie that Huckabees ended up being.

I'm with Marky Mark though - I'd prefer being wedged in the back seat for that ordeal too . . .

I didn't know the cardboard cutout of lily tomlin they used in that movie could curse like that. Which is to say she's horrible in that movie, and maybe she should've "shut the fuck up" herself and listened to him.

Lily Tomlin is like my favorite aunt, and I love her for it.

And Russell? "I'm here to fucking help you!" If that's not you-can't-handle-the-truth quality, I don't know what is.

Perhaps Russell felt that his cameo appearance in Adapation was insufficient to really showcase his theatrical talent and deliberately staged these scenes to get more front-of-the-camera notoriety.

Wow, it's just like that old t-shirt. He actually used the F word in every conceivable grammatical form. And then the rotting corpse of John Huston rose from the grave and kicked his ass.

George Clooney is still my hero for punching the jerk. And Three Kings is still Russell's only good film.

Hopefully, Lindsay Lohan will be cast in his next one. Just you try throwing a hissy with him, babe.
