It’s so funny to me that George Bernard Shaw wrote an epilogue to Pygmalion because it was driving him nuts that people shipped Higgins and Eliza, and it’s even funnier that Shaw couldn’t just write “HIGGINS IS GAY. LEAVE ME ALONE.”

Wew lad, Lord Henry is absolutely the type of rich white gay guy who'd be insta-canceled on Twitter as a misogynistic elitist. (So would another Henry, Professor Higgins from Pygmalion / My Fair Lady, but he's probably too old and cantankerous to make accounts on social media in the first place.)

Mrs. Pearce has said this to Henry Higgins at least once

Too often, people just stop with “I can psychoanalyze myself! I’m self-aware!” Like that’s the endgame they become self-aware and then stop there. They will write you essays on the exact psychological mechanism behind their shitty behavior but then you’re like “Sooo…you gonna stop?” They malfunction. Stop? What? Why the fuck would i stop? I know why i do it, aint that good enough?

In the immortal words of Tupolski from the Pillowman….”I’m just tired of everybody ‘round here using their shitty childhoods to justify their own shitty behaviour! MY dad was a violent alcoholic! Am I a violent alcoholic? Yes I am. But that was my personal choice. I freely admit it.”

One of my favorite moments in The Pillowman.

Katurian: What happens from here on in?

Tupolski: We get word back about the mute girl… we put this hood over your head, we take you to the room next door, we shoot you through the head.

(Pause.)

Is that right? No. We take you to the room next door, then we put the hood on you, then we shoot you through the head. If we put the hood on you before we take you to the room next door, y'know, you might bump into something, hurt yourself.

Katurian: Why the room next door? Why not here?

Tupolski: The room next door, it’s easier to mop up.

Katurian: (Pause)

Do you do it out of the blue, like, just out of the blue, or do you give me a minute to say a prayer or something?

Tupolski: Well, first I sing a song about a little pony and then Ariel takes out his hedgehog. Y'know, his execution hedgehog? And when the hedgehog’s out, well, you’ve got either thirteen or twenty-seven seconds left, depending on the size of the hedgehog.

(Pause.)

If I’m gonna do it out of the blue, I’m not gonna tell you I’m gonna do it out of the blue, Am I?! Jesus! For a supposed genius writer-stroke-psycho-killer, you’re a bit fucking thick!

(Pause.)

From when the hood goes on you’ve got about ten seconds. So, y'know, keep the Latin chants to a minimum.

[the-al-chemist]

Tupolski: I am a high ranking police officer in a totalitarian fucking dictatorship. What are you doing taking my word for anything?

Also Tupolski: I wrote a story once, y’know. It sort of summed up my world view, in some ways. Well, no, it didn’t really sum up my world view. I think the world’s a pile of shit. That isn’t really a world view, is it? Or is it? Hmmm…

Tupolski, yet again: you don’t know if she was alive or if she was dead. Um, Ariel? On your way to your friend the commandant could you call the search team, get them to hurry it up a bit, just in case it’s a live little mute girl we’re getting them to dig up? Thanks, babe.

To summarise: I love this play and I love this psychopath.

I’ve definitely said it before, but the situation on Twitter right now really shows how people are more insistent on defending Tim Burton’s **little** involvement in The Nightmare Before Christmas, instead of properly appreciating/crediting Henry Selick’s work.

Burton producing the movie does not mean he directed it. He protected it from Disney’s interference and let the crew handle the movie as they wanted. And, yes, he originally created the characters & world - but that doesn’t mean the movie is his. In fact, the original Poem doesn’t even have Sally and Oogie Boogie. The character development + story is much more fleshed out in the film in comparison - and that’s not because of Burton. It’s because of Caroline Thompson, Danny Elfman, and Henry Selick.

“But he was busy working on his Batman film at the time!” Yes. Exactly. He entrusted Henry Selick and the rest of the crew to make Nightmare. So we should properly thank THEM, instead of making excuses for Tim. People will bend over backwards trying to find any reason to credit Burton, instead of appreciating what Henry Selick has done.

And this has been the problem for YEARS – it may not be Tim Burton’s entire fault he got credited for The Nightmare Before Christmas as much as he did. Disney was the one who put his name in the title, purely for marketing reasons with his big name(last-minute as well, mind you). The huge misconception that he directed the movie was created by countless people falsely crediting Tim over the years.

Now the time has come with Henry’s recent release of Wendell & Wild, where the public is now realizing his hard work with Coraline, Nightmare, James & the Giant Peach, etc…..and people are still insisting on crediting Burton somewhere. Like they have been for nearly 30 years.
