#Writers #books #screenplays #articles #backpain Saw this article in The Grauniad the other day. I've been using a #posturecorrector for years and it's completely eliminated my agonising tension #headaches. Mine is much smaller than his and just reminds me to hold my shoulders back.

In Nia DaCosta’s reimagining of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, the protagonist Hedda is brilliant, restless, and terrified of being ordinary. Track her wants, needs, and flaws to unpack the alchemy driving the story engine that propels Hedda to haunting consequences. #Hedda #screenplays #DeathorStory

When a script feels long, it’s often not the runtime.

We’ve read drafts where the midpoint lands with a reveal or big moment, but the story keeps moving the same way.

A strong midpoint should close options and force a new direction. Otherwise, it’s just a timestamp.

Trailer Tuesday: CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935). A great pirate movie (with more on its mind than sword fights and rescuing fair maidens) this was Errol Flynn's first starring role - and he's amazing! Classic!

Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the ‘Plot Three or Four Times in the Dialogue’ Because Viewers are on ‘Their Phones While They’re Watching’ Matt Damon says Netflix wants movies to restate 'the plot three or four times in the dialogue' to account for viewers using their phones.

Damon: #Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the ‘Plot 3 or 4 Times in Dialogue Because Viewers are on Phones

Ugh! Dumbing down #screenplays through stilted "as you know Bob" #dialogue. We can do better #WritingCommunity!

A ★ review of A House of Dynamite (2025) Wow! I watched this a second time, and really appreciated a lot of things about it that... JUST kidding! This thing fucking SUCKS! It's one of the worst things I've EVER seen, and I resent that I had ...

#AHouseofDynamite is ! of the worst #screenplays I've ever seen committed to the screen, and I can't even really think of a close comp.

I'm pretty certain it was written by #ChatGPT, & I think it's an artistic crime.

Another ugly one from the broken-phone era.

A while back, I wrote a short screenplay from one of the stories in the WETWORKS collection.

Why?

Because I though it would be fun. Guess what?

It was fun!

Going to take a creative-related #class this year, adjacent to writing. It's on developing #screenplays at the local community #college. My goal is to expand how I think about writing, characters, pace, and story. Pretty excited about it.
