So I dont even want to respond to it." On the Wes Anderson fan website The Rushmore Academy (named after Andersons film Rushmore,) Oliver criticized the articles tone, stating that it made him out to be a villain: "Yes, working with Wes can be frustrating but that is true of any director and Ive worked with a hundred who were more irritating and less motivated than Wes. So lets just lay the ghost of this particular myth and oh, it would be nice if the death threats stopped too. Thanks."
