I think Flirting with Disaster is one of the finest comedies of our time. It's brilliant. I think Three Kings was prescient about the situation we find ourselves in abroad, and it showed the world that Clooney and Wahlberg could actually act. I couldn't have been more excited about I Heart Huckabees, but it was so bizarre, that I ended up not really being able to relate to it.
This video, however, makes that mess of a film all worth it.
The reality, however, is this won't stop Russell from working in Hollywood again. The fact that it only made $12.7 million domestically however, that's an entirely different issue.
You can read more about the incident at The Hot Blog.
UPDATE: Head over to Wikipedia for more dirt on what happened during the making of Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees that will make anyone think twice about signing up for a David O. Russell film. They've got lots of detail on the blow up between Clooney and Russell here.
What a truly talented nutjob.
I love that movie.

he has no idea how much she is respected in that town; this behaviour of his is definately going to set him back and make deals much harder to achieve.
