Anybody want to swap feedback for scripts? I’m happy to read yours and be as honest and productive as possible.
I’ve got two new scripts that need notes. It’s their first times out in the wild.
See below and tell me which one you’d be up to read.
Thanks!

Last chance to catch an Oscar favorite? Read this first before making your choice.
As always, here’s my take on the Best Picture nominees for this year’s Oscars, which airs this Sunday.
If you get a chance, definitely see as many as you can in these next six days.
Or maybe just one.
Enjoy.

With Jimmy on the Dubs, I’d think they’d have to go get Vucevic right now. There’s a ton of spacing issues if they don’t have a big who can shoot. #nbasky

Five things you’ll find in my scripts:
1. A protagonist who can’t get out of their own way.
2. A protagonist who then finds a way.
3. At least one really funny scene to lighten the mood or to remember.
4. A human truth anyone can relate to.
5. Callbacks at just the right time (I hope)

My mom came up as an emergency contact today at my doctor appt.
Thing is, she’s been gone for 15 years. I don’t know why this happened.
But it did. And I’m in my feelings.
So now I’m watching “Lost”, which is what we talked about the most.
“The Constant” made us cry in 2008. And me, in 2024.

Hollywood's never been kind to writers over 40. BUT blockbuster WICKED was written by Winnie Holzman (70) & newbie Natan Dotan (40) sold recent spec for $3mil. Fourteen yrs ago WGA won $70 MILLION against studios/agencies/netwks for age discrimination. Writers get better w/ age! Keep on! #scriptsky

As much as you want to blame Daboll and Schoen for this mess, it’s blatantly obvious who and what the biggest issue is.

Johnny Somali, the nuisance streamer who travels the world committing the most culturally offensive felonies he can for views, is now in Korea. Mock-assaulting memorials to sex crime victims, Actual-harassing women, spraying rotten fish juice on subway strangers.
