This is gold.

Elections always come down to either a fight in the mud or spreading a hopeful message. Sometimes you get one (hope: 2008) sometimes you get the other (mud: 2016) but if you are willing to fight in the mud AND also have a message of hope, history tells: that can be a landslide…

@jeffreyhoward33 Never in ten years had a bad exec. Occasionally dealt with bad solves, or frustrating timelines (probably more a BA problem than anything) but I would work with every exec I’ve worked with a thousand times over.

Seriously tired of reading about “bad executives.” You’re wrong.

YOUR LUCKY DAY was rejected by Sundance, SXSW, Toronto, Tribeca, and Cannes. CAA, WME, UTA and more all passed on representing the movie because it was “too small”. It’s now in the Top 10 of all movies streaming on Netflix for the second week in a row. No one knows anything.

@FedEx when your package is missing and you’ve called customer service six times today with different answers from six reps, been to the pick up location, three times and your next customer rep hangs up on you… what would you suggest I do next?

@KayKayCannon Hi Kay! I’m a fellow screenwriter, I have been trying to reach you as regards a speaking offer, but the email I have keeps bouncing? If you’d be open to it I would love to send you over the offer letter - !

My god. You’re welcome for going on strike for you to figure this out 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

This is just… gold. Can we let them know we’re open to thank you gifts for saving them from destroying television?. #wgastrong

And we won. #WGAStrong youtu.be/WRKs4KVUpaY

My writers/directors… what program do you like using for putting together your pitch decks/materials/directors statements? Word and paint shop pro are proving most irksome

Holy cow. That deal is in fact exceptional. Way to pick the correct word @WGAWest. Oh right, we are writers.

I feel like this headline is the equivalent of Hulu launching at the end of the 07 strike. deadline.com/2023/09/netfli…

My dog when I say this is the last and final treat:

@lagutey @lauramannino Told 2 at Radford

@lauramannino Just heard til 2 at Disney

Okay I have a question for @venicefilmfl Is there someone that announces how far into a standing ovation you are? What if one movie gets a longer one than they intended? Is there a method?! A system? A clock?! I must have order and logic in my world!!!!

@NicCurcio @baddestmamajama I tell them if a comp is requiring it then okay - but otherwise please don’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@NicCurcio @baddestmamajama If I had to take a wild guess it’s all these new programs / competitions that say they will submit to execs / reps - but instead of having a rep lay the ground work before sending a script over - it accomplishes that step? Maybe?

Is there some screenwriting hotshot telling people to put loglines on the title page now? I’m suddenly seeing this a bunch.

@mattdpearce We stand on the side of the union. #WGAStrong #SagAftraStrong
