Sinners only dropped 6% in its second weekend. The last time a movie dropped that little was the first Avatar over the holiday season.

It’s an Easter miracle! Hollywood is born again!

…Or the coverage of Sinners has been mind-bogglingly incompetent.

Take your pick. #scriptsky #film #sinners

PJ is a great actor and a mensch. He’s also absolutely right about the need to rebuild IN L.A. #welovela #welovePJ

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

I’ll go one further. Lynch’s Dune is the best Dune and one of the best distillations of “the hero’s journey” out there.

It’s impossible for me to pick a “favorite” filmmaker, but only David Lynch changed my conception of what both a movie and reality could be. #rip #davidlynch

Josh helped so many writers, directors and producers (including me). A huge loss for indie film and the industry at large. #scriptsky #filmsky www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Some days reality is so wild, it wouldn’t be believable if you’d written it.

I’ve read a lot of books on screenwriting, but only two were ever of any use. #scriptsky

A huge spec sale on a specific topic that you also wrote about is not a reliable indicator of whether your script would’ve sold. #scriptsky

Actual screenwriting gold right here.
My two biggest complaints about TV scripts from new/emerging writers

One is choreography on the page. You need to know where people are, where they are going, when they enter. You have to tell the reader enough to picture the scene in your head.

The only Thanksgiving movie.
