Guys, something insane happened to me today. I am on a text chain with my teenage nieces and nephews along with my mom (their grandma) and today my mom asked them if they knew who Helen Keller was... And their response was that Helen Keller was a fraud who didn't exist.

One of the least heralded aspects of SUCCESSION - it was a weekly procedural. Every single episode had a big event/meeting/retreat where all the main characters interacted and told a complete story which then built the arc of the season. Truly Peak TV and not “a 40 hour movie”.

As the dust on this strike settles one thing has become clear. The deal took roughly 10 days. 10 days. That’s it. The studio CEOs got serious and we had a deal in 10 days. When those 10 days happened was not the decision of the writers. It was the decision of the AMPTP.

Oh. So you mean when they tried to divide us they wound up dividing themselves? Hold the line. See ya at Uni to get our sidewalks back.

Expect to see a few of these over the next few weeks. I started writing LIFT in November, 2020, sold it as a spec on March 17, 2021, with no attachements and it starts shooting Friday with Kevin Hart to star, F. Gary Gray to direct and some other very cool surprises.

Update - if a joke on TikTok (as apparently this "fraud" started) can poison young minds the thread about it going viral can change minds back... Have had a discussion about abelism with my N&Ns and ordered @HabenGirma 's book for them. Never too late to go down the right path.

THIS. As someone going through this very process, the grace shown by fellow writers can be immeasurable.

So the first script I ever sold was produced which everyone told me was an anomaly... That turned out to be pretty true. I've been a working screenwriter as my only job for the last 10 years and haven't had anything else produced. This is a (small) thread about that.

@allan_cheapshot I wrote 12 ROUNDS and had a conference call with Vince to talk story. I was told before the call under no uncertain terms was I to use the phrase “to be honest with you”. Apparently a previous writer had said that and Vince went off asking if the guy was lying the entire time.

Here are a few takeaways from the WGA Captains meeting this morning. 1. I’m proud to be a member of this this Guild and it’s inspiring to see the tireless efforts of the Board, the negotiating team, my fellow captains and the support staff.

Why is nobody talking about the new phenomenon in Peak Streaming where there's a show I watch and genuinely love for Season One and then never watch Season Two and just forget about the show forever?

In my bout of Flaming Hot Cheetos Poisoning I watched THE FORCE AWAKENS on TNT last night and it still boggles my mind that Disney spent $5 billion to continue the world of STAR WARS and after 30 years constructed a story where Luke and Han never spoke to each other.
