I'm going to go off topic, but it's necessary to face the Godzilla in the room
Tom you mentioned how in the past working with studios could result in mentoring, developing and working with writers
No argument there but one thing "back in the day" was so successful because it was white guys with white guys
No POC. No women
Nobody different
I'm reading "Burn it down; power, complicity, and a call to change in
HOLLYWOOD " by Maureen Ryan a journalist and I believe an editor at an entertainment magazine
I'm so fucking angry how white people are treated compared to POC, women, anyone with differences
It's the entire industry
People who think things ended with Weinstein and Metoo is history is naive
Inappropriate sexual behavior is but one way women ( or men) are treated. Plus fucking divas that hold power at studios and their behavior by humiliating crew and talent. The excuse is that talent makes you a jerk because you are so creative is encouraged not rewarded
Second HOLLYWOOD has the best PR in any field....fuck it just read the book
TC, WGA, тАЬnotesтАЭ (and their context to тАЬIPтАЭ), MGA, etc. I worked in Automotive and needed a glossary for all the SPC, GCI, PBL Etc. Insiders automatically forget that outsiders need a primer to the context

Great piece, Tom
Thanks
All typos are mine
Humans were not meant to write on cell phones
Yes, largely true. However, the writer who taught me to be a good screenwriter was a woman.
The good news is there are quite a few writers in the Guild now who have surnames I cannot pronounce. :-)

And "speaking airplane" is worse. :-)

I've seen many of those lists - always good! - thanks.
Very funny, though less so in light of the crash today of the plane that killed Prigozhin and nine others, apparently members of the Wagner team.

Posted before crash report
In any event, I donтАЩt suspect Russian mechanics actually keep a log book
Not if they know what's good for them.
YouтАЩve reminded me of something I think youтАЩll appreciate. Brb
