I recently turned 37. I have directed documentaries, features, and plays. To date, nothing tops my first directorial effort 30 years ago. I was 7.

Thank you for the inspiration, @amerrill2!

NIXON: I was in a room. Red. Everything red, the, the curtains, the floor, zigzag pattern on the floor. Very disorienting. Very…the lighting was not good, I’ll say that. Whoever was responsible for the lighting in this room was not- it wasn’t a well-lit room, Bob.

HALDEMAN: No, sir.

NIXON: And there was a small man there.

KISSINGER: Small in what sense, Mr. President?

NIXON: In the sense of being… Henry, in the sense of being small. Physically. A little man. Very well dressed, I’ll give him that. Good suit. He had a, there was something about the way he moved that was- Bob, you’d have to see it. The way he moved and spoke was like a, a record played at the wrong speed. You know what I mean? Backwards somehow and yet you could still

HALDEMAN: I think I follow, sir.

NIXON: And there was a woman there. Beautiful woman. Just sitting. She wasn’t… she didn’t say anything, she just sat and-

KISSINGER: A beautiful woman.

NIXON: Don’t, Henry.

KISSINGER: I said nothing.

NIXON: I know the look. The woman is not the point. The point is the little man, because the little man came very close to me and he spoke and what he said was - now this is the part I need you both to…he said, “burn the tapes”.

@alexL_E_I Capra is staunchly conservative. Read his biography. He named names like Kazan. He got the left wing rep from his screenwriting partner Robert Riskin. Dude was the real deal.

@nightwriter22 Brody is no longer attached? He was announced post Oscar win so I don’t see why?

@JohnCharet @BadFilmTakes1 There are specific references to Leo Rugendorff, Robert Prosky’s heavy in THIEF in HEAT 2 the novel. In fact there are references to just about everyone of his films in it, produced or not.

I’m dealing with a family emergency, so I won’t be doing broadcast interviews on the John Davidson Tourette’s tic at the BAFTAs story.

Hearing the N word shouted at two of the most successful black actors in the world, on stage at the BAFTAs and broadcast on the BBC, was horrible. It made people uncomfortable. It should have. But it was an involuntary tic from someone who lives with Tourette’s syndrome. It was not chosen. It was not intentional. It was not an expression of belief.

What’s astonishing is watching people who constantly lecture the public about inclusion suddenly abandon it the moment it becomes complicated. The same voices that demand respect for lived experience are now acting as if a neurodivergent man consciously decided to shout a slur for sport.

Tourette’s is a neurological condition. It is not a political statement. It is not a moral failing. You cannot preach DEI and then punish someone for symptoms of their neurodivergence.

Even the Royal Household has previously understood Davidson’s condition. Not even the late Queen was immune to his tics he said “F*ck the Queen” TO HER FACE. If that reality can be accepted there, it should not be beyond the rest of us.

Two things can be true at once. The word is abhorrent. The tic was involuntary. If your commitment to inclusion collapses when it involves neurodivergence, then it was never inclusion in the first place.

@MarcZicree @MarcZicree do you know the whereabouts of the full length “He’s Alive” script Serling wrote? All the archives I’ve checked don’t have it. Can you clarify? Thanks so much for keeping Seroojg’s memory alive!!

@GonzoVice Bad look. Hunter deserves better.

[Patrick Flynn @pat_flynn]

@MarcZicree Marc, any truth to the article in TZ magazine regarding the feature length version of “He’s Alive”? It’s pretty specific in its description. None of the archives of Serling’s material mention this draft. Can you clarify?
