exactly my experience. I jump into a conversation where like 10 people are saying 'never do X or they'll trash your script' and say 'I do it, my colleagues do it. Totally normal in Hollywood' and then get trolled by a bunch of butt-hurt film bros.

Petition to get rid of "female" as a descriptor in screenplay loglines. You don't have to mention that it's a "female" doctor, cop, fire fighter, scientist, etc. Those jobs have been done by women for decades now. No reason we assume gender for any profession in the year of our Lord 2026.

This is what I was thinking. Like, even among top-tier, fully-profitable, proven writers in Hollywood.... him? But, unfortunately I think that's the point. It IS a political statement. "Your little woke game is over, ladies. The boys are running the show again."

Working in Hollywood right now means 75% of your energy is devoted to compartmentalizing all the awfulness.

I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords.

Paradise S2 eps1 is top-tier tv. Dan Fogelman is incredible.

Just saw an awesome docu at the Pan African Film Fest. "The Interrogator," about firebrand politician Barbara Jordan. Amazing. High recommend. Go to the screenings here in LA, or catch it on PBS soon.

That thing beauty influencers do where they put their hands facing each other, parallel to their chins then flutter their fingers? Can everyone stop doing that now?

Easy lesson learned from the bad old days of twitter - block bitter screenwriting/film bros early and often.

plenty of podcasts with pro screen and tv writers talking shop. The classic is John August/Craig Mazin's Scriptnotes. They have zero patience for 'rules' karens.
