Streaming algorithms + lazy screenwriting = narrative incoherence. Darby and the Dead and R.I.P.D. 2 expose how modern supernatural comedies trade strict world-building rules for cheap genre tropes and intellectual property necromancy.

I pulled the trigger today and sent my first feature screenplay out for review. I should get some pages of notes back, and I have no idea if i'll get a "what the hell is this crap?" or a "this is kind neat" so i'll just be sitting here anxious for 3-5 days then.

On this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread, I wanna talk CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS. There’s no hard and fast rules. No one way to do it. But there are things you can do to set up your characters in the reader’s mind that I think are more and less effective. First, some things I don’t like… 🧵1

Animation keeps trying to have it both ways: scientific realism + talking-animal emotion—and the seams are showing. The Wild Robot wants believable tech but handwaves biology. Swapped builds a wild evolutionary myth, then plays it safe with a familiar arc. If you’re going full fable, lean in. If you’re invoking science, respect the rules.

Modern Shakespeare adaptations keep trying to “fix” tragedy and end up breaking it. When you strip away the structure, the language, and the logic that give these stories weight, all that’s left is aesthetic imitation. Updating the setting isn’t the problem. Failing to rebuild the architecture is.

Before I get to script or outline or even beat sheet, I start every pilot or feature I write with THE BLANK BOARD. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on my personal process going from an idea germ to a script. It’s an amalgamation of what I learned while working on The Office. 🧵1

Body-swap comedies used to be about empathy, now they’re just self-aware gimmicks chasing relevance. From Trading Places to today’s overstuffed knockoffs, the “Freaky Friday flip” has lost its soul somewhere between high-concept messaging and lazy repetition.
