OI

On consultation I've decided to just say he has OI, rather then have it as a parenthetical aside of "probably OI." The sources that say his bone condition are OI were the NY Times, his IMDB bio, and a webpage related to the film "Mulholland Drive" on him. If this turns out to be wrong feel free to take it off.--T. Anthony 07:37, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

"phoenetic reverse speak" Isn't this spelled wrong? "phonetic"? [[[User:Gelwood|Gelwood]] 21:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)]

Should there be any style for rock bands?

The rock bands named in this article are capitalized but neither quoted nor italicized. I'm not sure which it should be. I was planning on italicizing them but felt it best to discuss it first. Parmadil 12:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Twin Peaks question

Wasn't he [also] "the arm" of the One Armed Man in the show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.245.225 (talk) 20:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

"Anderson then synced his lips to the reversed recording for film." But isn't the film also reversed? It looks as if it is. Richard K. Carson (talk) 23:19, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

The actors in the Black Lodge/Red Room scenes in Twin Peaks did not lip synch the reversed speech. They learned their lines phonetically backward, performed them that way and then the film was reversed. You can see them practicing the lines in the Behind The Scenes shorts about the making of Twin Peaks The Return. The statement that they were lip synching is inaccurate and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:77F:94B0:8D6A:4BD5:1A63:B28F (talk) 07:33, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Anderson and Jews

Why nothing on Anderson's vocal antisemitic views ? Look at the guy's official Facebook page, he posts rants about Jews all the time, along with his wider anti-establishment, anti-capitalist, anti-Israel, pro-Palestine, pro-whistleblower, and pro-gun ownership views. He rants about both Democrats and Republicans, yet now seems to back Bernie Sanders, and he seems to also love Nome Chomsky who is Jewish but very anti-Israel. Its like Anderson merges leftwing anti-capitalism with rightwing anti-semitic conspiracy theories. As for evidence, you can look at these quotes that Anderson posted on his Facebook: On the About section of his FB he writes in his bio: "Anderson gained further recognition and success in recent years for his work on the HBO series Carnivàle. Since then, he was arbitrarily labeled a Nazi, and maliciously blacklisted by the Jewish mob in Hollywood as revenge for the holocaust of World War II."

"Once I had reached a certain plateau, I found myself surrounded by a certain ancient, money worshiping culture. The members of which, who were financially above me demanded I suck their dicks or face certain professional death. Those below me prostrated themselves before me as if I were their god. Those on the same level would simply throw obstacles in my path and laugh at me for being a crippled dwarf. Sure enough, I didn't suck and they blacklisted me from the industry. This was uglier than anything I had ever seen before (and I've lived in New York!). With my whole career stopped, it shattered my mind into a million severely isolated shards and left me drifting aimlessly in a PTSD coma, which is where we find me today. There was a brief respite from this which resulted from the hopeful encounter with Jen, but upon discovering my inability to communicate with her, I redisintegrated." – December 5, 2012 – "money worshiping culture" is a clear anti-Semitic reference to Jews

He posted an article against Jewish racism toward non-Jews in Israel, then added the post of "Not knowing about THIS in advance is pretty much what ended my career." – April 25, 2015 Then added "Hollywood is controlled by the Jews." – April 27, 2013. When asked how they did this he said: "I didn't speak anything. I merely failed to cowtow in the wake of the holocaust which I thought occurred before my birth. Just racism. As a dwarf, I've always been VERY against prejudice, so when I failed to exhibit the appropriate prejudices, presto", april 27, 2013. And "Nazism was just a caricature of Zionism." – April 24, 2013. Repeating this sentiment, when someone called him a "deep actor" he responded with "Yes, well, deep actors get blacklisted by the Jews who control Hollywood. That's why Hollywood is filled with Will Ferrels." – Nov, 15, 2013

"The racially prejudicial "democracy" in Texas is deeply offensive but the racially prejudicial "democracy" in Israel is just dandy. I guess that's what being "chosen" is all about, eh?" – June 23, 2013. And then he commented on this "They need to unfairly tip the scales of democracy because they're afraid that without it, they won't be 'chosen'. grin emoticon" – July 9 2013

"Why is our government spending so much effort spying on Germany? Because OUR governments, both left and right, are controlled by the Jews. That's why. There, I said it." – July 11, 2014

"I will refrain from commenting on the events in PALESTINE for two reasons. One, these events pretty much reflect what I have been saying about Israel all along, and Two, unless you're a Jew, these events pretty much speak for themselves." – July 18, 2014. And when called out on this, he says "I focus on Jewish people because their actions in Gaza very much conform to their actions in the United States. Bullying and gangstering and generally master-racing it up. Our government supports Israel? I dare say Israel CONTROLS our government. Those people in our government who support Israel are simply seeking career advancement. Who knows what they really think." – July 18, 2014

"The sudden rise of ISIS is a DIRECT result of the slaughter in Gaza. But don't bother protesting. Ferguson shows us that, like Israel, our police have the weaponry and firepower to maintain order at ANY cost!" – August 20, 2014

"Free Speech: Say anything you want to about anyone or anything, as long as it does not disparage the Jewish Master Race. OBEY!" – January 22, 2015 And in the comments to this one: "Yes. My failure to OBEY is pretty much what got me blacklisted from the industry. Unless you're a writer, a person with a brain has NO place in show business." – February 3, 2015 And "Incitement to hate anyone but the Jews is Ok. If it's the Jews, then you are jailed. Don't be blind. Anti-ANYTHING speech is ok. Anti-Jew speech, you go to jail. In France you can make speeches to hate Americans. It's OK. But Jews? Prison bars!" – February 23, 2015

"Was the co-pilot a Jew? Yes. Bury that information at ALL cost!" – March 28, 2015

"Before Karl Rove and Citizens United made it legal for billionaires to threaten and thereby control our democracy with their billions, we used to be able to tell people in these communities that if they would be peaceful they could vote their way out of their difficulties. We used to be able to tell them that. But now, instead of giving people a political voice, we just bolster the police and military. Kind of like in Israel." – April 29, 2015

After the Charlston shooting he said "If the people in that church had defended themselves, would the media headline have read "Youth attacked in church by thugs!"? The problem is coming from places a lot bigger than that flag. Like CNN. (pssst. Who controls ALL the media?)" – June 27, 2015 – the latter is a clear reference to Jews

And then after gay marriage was made legal in America: "I can't count the number of times I've had gay men try to IMPOSE their unwelcome sexuality on me. I've always liked gays, being some of the most intelligent and creative people on the planet, but I've learned not to become friends with them because they've taught me that if you become friends with a gay person, FULLY KNOWING that you will NEVER have sex with them, then you have assaulted them. You might as well have just punched or kicked them. I'd like to be friends with gay people, but through the years, I've LEARNED, from them, how wrong that is." – July 01, 2015. This one is really weird, because he says that he liked gays and wants to support them but then presents negative stereotypes about them, claiming that he has come to this conclusion based on personal experience.

On his political views he said this: " While I am MOSTLY on the left, I consider myself to be on the THINKING left and don't like 'jerks' on either side of the line. However, the 'jerks' on the right are less disturbing to me because it, at least, seems like they belong there." – November 25, 2013 And also “I do not find the red and blue, left and right, distinctions useful. My views fall on both sides as do those of many. I think the red and blue thing is a media ploy. Like if you don't fully conform to the red or blue, then you are a bad red or a bad blue. Instruction: "Get into one of these boxes or you're naughty." – November 2, 2013. "All the Republicans can worry about is that we have to many abortions, and all the Democrats can think about is that we have too many guns. Meanwhile the rich rape and control our country unrestrained. Both sides have become complicit in the problems and irrelevant to the issues." – January 8th 2013

This stuff should be in the Wikipedia article. It's not like he's hiding any of it, its all over his Facebook profile, which is a public page you can 'like' He's convinced that Jews control the media and the US government (both Dem and Republican) and that they blacklisted him from Hollywood (which he thinks that they also control). He conflates Jews, Israelis and Zionists as being the same thing, and presents them as part of a giant conspiracy. This should be in the Wikipedia page, with a discussion of his idiosyncratic political opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.41.18.6 (talk) 14:39, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
