I just subcribed purely for the foot fetish checklist bit. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

04:14-05:08: Ruin Jonhson trigger warning! (aka Hack warning!)

"Part of it is a fuck you" It's good to show contempt for your audience

This show is equal to the sopranos

All this made me realize is that great authors outline and don’t outline.

The "way of doing" influences a lot the style and kind of public you can sell to. I disagree with most commentaries in one point: all methods are wrong ! the good one is the one who impeach you from lying! and it seems those authors found "the one" for them....

This diversity is really interresting. It seems the most important is to know yourself well, and specially your weaknesses, and how to exploit them !

Why would there be a picture of the Barbie "going to the gynocologist" gal with Tarentino and the Coen brothers?

I m sad to see De Niro grow older. He is such a great actor. I always enjoy his acting in all of the movies he does.

cool

Great show. It actually took me 3 attempts before i got into it. But will be starting it again soon

I have absolutely nothing but respect for those people who get a job and have true success but me personally think that any country at all that is ok with one citizen having billions of dollars while simultaneously there are citizens of the same state in the same country trying to exist on as little as 1000 dollars a month. that is a broken part of or never addressed aspect to our "way" of living in this world. eventually the people weight of poverty will be too much for the country to bear

I don't really know my characters until the second or third draft.

Who are all hate tarantino speech 😂

"the writers are not from television" well, neither are a lot of writers or 'storytellers' if you will. its practically commonplace that so many people who pen successful and widely popular stories are just people whove lived the life or adjacent to what theyre talking about. who one day decided to pick up the pen.

"You FUCKIN D-story!"

Greatest show ever created in the history of TV

The real danger of this video is how it takes Tarantino's words and makes it suit its own assertions going as far as presuming to know 100% what he was referring to (which is simply not true) and then the arrogance of naming actual scenes that got scrapped or not. You don't know that! It's BS.

it's basically a truman experience

When your studio cares about the quality instead of politics

The three most commercially successful here are Gerwig, Tarantino and Gilligan. Interesting the range of techniques. One thing in common is that they write the shit out of their screenplays, the one exception being Resevoir dogs, which was written in two weeks. I’ve written 30* scripts and gotten two features made. I’m def a structure guy.

This guy is a douchebag. Who ever he is.

Why is greta in this? Her movies suck.

one of the best just in the last few years? man, this show is one of GOAT.

Goyer is a hack who got lucky that he had the Nolans to bounce off of to get things even close to right.

Vince Gilligan doesnt get to meat of what writing is. He sounds like an uncle who cant teach like just say you put a show together that made us want to live in that world.

Esmail is a genius, this show completely deserves so much more love, and Darlene is the baddest baddie to ever baddie. I'll die on any of these hills.

Nic Pizzolatto, Terence Winter, George Pelecanos, and J.T Rogers. HBO has, and has had; some of the best T.V writers ever.

I just finished this masterpiece last week and boy what a ride, the fact that it's already a decade old since it finished and people still talk about it/ even make memes shows how much care and love it was made from. My only regret about watching the show is the fact that I didn't watch it as soon as possible.

Loved True Detective. Loved Pizzolatto's discussion on it. Now, back to working on my own novel, inspired.

that disney 4 page sequence breakdown is why finding dory and the incredibles 2 were both bigger pile of garbages than the one at the end of toy story 3.

Hi, please can you tell me what original source interview is the Charlie Kaufman stuff from? Especially the bit around 8mins 53 secs in your video where he talks about writing dialogue before he really knows what the characters would say? Thanks

I would say the only other show that knew how to end was Sons of Anarchy.

Won't ever be the same without Justin :'(

GREAT VIDEO! When I wrote my book I had enough of an idea to get to the middle of the text, it was only after that, that i was able to finish it. Funny how it worked out that way ...

Easily the best show of all time.

I think filmmaking is changing for the better. Like Jim said, majority of big movies suck right now. But there are incredibly talented filmmakers out there, so why aren't they being hired? Pretty obvious why, but that's not important for this. Point is, the artist, for huge budget films, are not allowed to be the artist, for the most part. So the passionate filmmakers are finding other way to make THEIR films. And I'm 100% for it. Sunday, I'm going to a film festival to watch a film made by Danny Gevirtz, where funding for the feature film came entirely from youtube viewers and creators. Now whether the film is good or not, it's his first feature, isn't that important, but the fact that he never had to pitch to studios or execs, is groundbreaking. More independent studios are popping up, talented film makers like Jim are paving their own way. And gosh golly darn it........ I will too.

Greta Gerwig is so brilliant

thank you for this long video of writers contradicting each other and ultimately giving very little advice since everybody's creative mind works in a very different way. real useful content

you lost me at far right conspiracy theorist, fuck you, your industry is fucked,

My biggest takeaway from this is that you have to put in the work, and to be comfortable with the fact that the story will change, and it should change, because you're not going to know everything at first. Although there are even exceptions to that; there are authors who have written a novel in a few days, but they're so experienced at storytelling, and the story had been brewing in their head for years, or it's a very personal story. Be flexible; be willing to revise; but when you're satisfied don't second-guess yourself. Some of these writers have produced "Meh" screenplays. Accept it will happen to you and move on.

amazing...

Is the answer "everything you should avoid"? Lost is an overexcited 8-year-olds idea of a cool story. Oh, they find a hatch and there's a polar bear and and... A work where anything goes and nothing holds together. I have no idea how it managed to enthrall so many people. As soon as it was clear that there's so much utter random shit going on that the only possible conclusion is that everyone's dead and this is the last flickering of their synapses and Lindelof and Abrams are reveling in the fact that they don't even have to try to make any sense whatsoever and can throw anything they want at their "story machine" it was absolutely dead for me because nothing at all was at stake. That was season 2 episode 1. And I only watched that far because I gave it the benefit of a doubt. No idea how it mass hypnotized everyone back then. Maybe I'll find out watching this video. Never too late to become enlightened. edit: "I've had writers when they were getting teased or abused would get kinda hostile." lol. I'd say abusing writers is a hostile act, no? So is hostility then not the expected reaction if you also want them to not "be a pussy"? Seems hostility is how it was shown that you are not. Incredible.

......or read Agatha Christi

Season 1 is almost a pastiche. Lifting from Ligotti, comic books etc. without properly crediting them. I don't like that. You should always acknowledge your inspirations, especially when people have clearly pointed it out. Spoiled the memory of the show for me a little.

Sympathy is it sucks to be you and empathy is i understand what youve been through using my imagination and heart. Many empaths only feel sympathy.

The idea of a serial TV writer talking about structure is ridiculous. Literally every other writer is explaining why that's a bad idea, and a dumb storytelling format

How do I move on from SS1? I just can't O_o

This just goes to show that anyone can make anything amazing. Nick had never even written a script before. Writes his first 6 and one of them in True Detective Season. I mean, that is absolutely incredible.
