Talk:David O. Russell

message: I've added it, as well as restored to the page to its original format.  I'm going to request that this article be locked up for a while.  Lastanzabianca 12:07 AM, 20 March 2007 (CST)
:Thanks for the addition! But I disagree about locking the page up.  Nobody has abused or vandalized the page and people have simply added to the content and expanded on the facts that exist.  Which is pretty impressive considering the YouTube videos are gone. Unless someone starts posting 1337 CODE, then I think that a lockup is excessive. SpyMagician 05:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Nolan Incident

message: Based on my understanding of the Tomlin incident, it is wrong and unfair to Russell to portray him as the lone aggressor in the incident. Surely it is understood that his conduct was unacceptable to most, but Tomlin did little to avert or calm the situation. I am not sure how to, but I would dispute the neutrality of the "Tomlin v. Russell" portion of the entry.
::Uh, I hardly think it's "non-neutral" to assume that this director, who is known for being a gigantic, temper-tantrum-throwing ass, was the instigator here. It's quite likely she was frustrated with his behavior. This is a guy who put Christopher Nolan in a headlock because he wanted his star back and got into a fistfight with George Clooney (who's well-known for being quite calm and composed on set). While I'll agree she didn't diffuse the situation, I certainly don't think it's wrong to assume that he was the source of the friction. Magicflyinlemur 22:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is, though, you've formed your opinions on all of those incidents from secondary sources. By assuming blame on either party, you're forfeiting neutrality. Pele Merengue 02:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Tomlin Incident

message: It seems that this article needs to be fleshed out more, with attention paid to things other than his confrontations with other celebrities. If nothing else, his filmography (or a "career" section) needs to come before the "Controversy," section. Remember, he is a person, then a filmmaker, then a person with a few controversial incidents under his belt. While it is important that these things be included, only focusing on these incidents could make one interpret this page as not NPOV. 70.116.139.13 05:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy

message: Is it true that this early (1994) Russell film was autobiographical? If so, it would explain his personality and his treatment of women. Whatever the case, moviegoers are free to express their support or opposition of Russell's directorial style and his movies at the box office (or video store). As a moviegoer I tend to judge a movie on its artistic merit, but, this time, my disdain for workplace bullies may make me boycott Russell's movies.

thread_title: Spanking the Monkey

message: Start searching for the confirmation, because production of his latest film just got put on hold because of a blow up between him and James Caan on the set of Nailed (film). RoyBatty42 (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Add James Caan

message: As it stands, in his filmography, Nailed is listed as a 2008 film. This is incorrect. Since films are named by the year of their initial release, I believe I will move it to the top of his filmography for now with a ???? as a date, as it is yet to be released (if it ever is). If anyone has an issue with this, please discuss here. NickCochrane (talk) 01:57, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nailed - Date 

message: This article certainly doesn't shy from detailing the controversies that Russell has been involved in, yet I don't see anything anywhere about what he did to his niece. I'm presuming the Chicago Tribune is a reliable source? I would add this info myself, but I'm not sure where in the article it would go (there's no "personal life" or "controversies" section, and giving it its own section seems weird). --81.106.54.32 (talk) 22:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  groping his niece 

message: Given that he has worked with a lot of people multiple times, maybe a box can created with all of that info. 114.143.115.117 (talk) 14:46, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Frequent Collaborators' Table 

message: Russell does a lot of work with raising awareness for mental health and autism. I wasn't sure if it deserved it's own section - but have put it into personal life for now. 
If that's incorrect please adjust and comment here to let me know! Morganglick (talk) 18:53, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mental Health Awareness / Advocacy 

message: This was brought up a few years ago by  114.143.115.117 as a table but wanted to float the idea again, as he has worked the same people even more times. 
Was thinking of doing a section like the one on Steven Spielberg. If this isn't appropriate please let me know!

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In this section, there are several points where sentences trail off when it seems they are about to say where these events occurred (i.e. on the set of which movie). Clooney and Tomlin and Adams all fail to say what project was being worked on when the indicent occured. 2600:8800:5019:7300:40CB:BD36:8A9E:4182 (talk) 00:15, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
