@VileAgatha @Dracalous @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark I am so old that I'm not even insulted, just wishing I was 13 again and could get to do it right this time. Who knows, Aggie, maybe we'd have met in the theatre and had a long. and turbulent relationship? I'm thinking you can't quit me.

@ScarlettEHarris But does she deserve to get locked out of the house AFTER cheating on her husband and him finding out about it through stolen published pictures? Because that's the actual sequence of events. #doublestandards?

Finally got around to watching #ihatesuzie - was HOWLING with laughter at the Impulse Shoes scene. The whole series is just fantastic!

@dylanmiossec @TheSchlockJock @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark I don't know what to tell you, mon. You're very sure of your opinion on something you know nothing about and rather than open yourself to learning, you get defensive. Think we've reached an "impasse".

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@VileAgatha @Big_Total_Hero @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark Well good for you. That must have taken some courage. Genuinely. How about we both agree not to try to hurt or insult each other and get on with our lives?

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@dylanmiossec @TheSchlockJock @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark That is funny! I actually worked very briefly with Fincher on Mindhunter and two of my colleagues have worked very closely with him. He ran them into the ground and bilked them out of money. Don't you get it? They're ALL assholes at that level. You seriously don't know shit.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@VileAgatha @Big_Total_Hero @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark Oh my God: It's like Trump's got right inside you. But honestly, if that's the way you think - without nuance, curiosity, forgiveness - you should probably give up the whole art thing. It's not about getting people to like you.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@dylanmiossec @TheSchlockJock @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark Yeah but are you an actor? Are you basing any of your views on actual experience or just clickbait? David Fincher does hundreds of takes and I don't know a single actor who wouldn't jump at the chance to work with him.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@VileAgatha @Big_Total_Hero @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark Well there you go. And that might well end up being an abusive situation. But we'd survive, right? And there are many actors who've worked with me over and over again. Sometimes people don't gel. That's okay. That's part of life.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@dylanmiossec @TheSchlockJock @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark Watch the doc on the making of THE SHINING. Crothers cries tears of joy, not misery. But look, people cry on film sets, in rehearsal rooms; and in offices and store rooms and 7/11s. It's not always abuse or long-lasting trauma.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@VileAgatha @Big_Total_Hero @egregiousknives @tonygoldmark Come on - insulting me and making assumptions based on no knowledge of me is beneath you. You've got an argument to make, make it. But try to base it on actual knowledge. Be better, as Melania would say.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@Big_Total_Hero I don't think anything will change your mind because you're personally invested in it. I would suggest you have linked some pain of your own to this and that you feel the denial of her trauma is the denial of yours. I hope you get to the bottom of it some day, genuinely.

[Anthony Neilson @AnthonyNeilson7]

@Big_Total_Hero But it DIDN'T "drive her off the deep end". She doesn't claim that so why do you? She worked another two decades in film and put the experience behind her. Why are you so determined to feel traumatised on her behalf? Isn't this your shit, not hers?
