kinda makes you wish footage of his three kings fistfight with george clooney would surface. or the time he put christopher nolan in a headlock because jude law was going to leave huckabees to do memento.

I just don't like this guy at all. I don't like him. I don't like his movies. I Heart* Huckabees was a terrible film and even though I think the main reason for that was it was a badly conceived idea/script/movie, the way he acts sure doesn't help matters.

On a slightly different topic, I love that sites like youtube are exposing more people for the a-holes/farces that they are. I'm hoping a lot of actors see this footage and refuse to work with this baby in the future.

He said he wanted to put an actual *heart* in the title of I heart Huckabees cause, like, it makes people "think". Oh yeah, it made me think all right. It made me think of how lame of a director you are.
 
That was crazy! I felt sorry for the other actors. The crew was high-tailing it out of there. :grin:

What a shame. "Flirting With Disaster" is one of my favorite comedies. I never knew he was such an a**hole.
 
Lily Tomlin seemed to be alittle pistol herself .....but it doesn't compare to the tirade that follows.

It will be interesting to see what effect this will have on him. All they need now is for Vince McMahon to get the WWE involved.
 
wow. i was actually laughing during his tirade. my favorite part is when he leaves towards the camera, then comes back in through the door and continues yelling. honestly if i were there, i'd probably punch that maniac right in his face. he deserves it. what would have been the best would be if Hoffman beat the **** out of him. i would pay money to see that.


Oh better idea. have this guy and Uwe Boll duke it out!

You have to wonder who this guy has dirt on to be able to keep making movies.

He's definitely a talented filmmaker, he just happens to be a major douche too.
 
Yeah, he's an asshole, but look at Tomlin. She's being a pain in the ass too. She told Hoffman to 'f' off when they were sitting in the car. I'm sure she provoked the director, but he had no right to act the way he did.

But I'm glad I saw this. I'll avoid working with this guy in the future.
