Lily Goes Ape Shizz

I love my Lily Tomlin - from the early days of Earnestine the Operator and little Edith Ann, who my cousin used to interpret to the tee, and then 9 To 5 and The Incredible Shrinking Woman, not to mention the back and forth hilarity with Meryl Streep for Robert Altman's behalf. Another great role she had was the pot growing ex hippie in the hilarious Flirting With Disaster, a film directed by David O. Russell, who has some anger issues and whose people skills are a tad lacking - he even had nice guy George Clooney ready to kill him - literally, George had his hand around the director's throat - and apparantly if he can fuck around with the bigger names, you know a pee on was just itching to get some footage out there on what an ass this guy could be - so here's some real antics from both Lily (though in this footage she seems to keep her cool even making a joke near the end) and the director on the set of I Heart Huckabees - and it's quite fun for anyone who ever thought making movies could be a lot of fun.
