Brian J Wagner - Screenwriter

@joshleekwai.bsky.social hello sir, I would like to petition you to discuss with the council that infinite combos be moved to bracket 4, and be removed from bracket 3. I would be happy to explain in great detail why this makes perfect sense. You’re the man, love seeing you on The Command Zone.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I’ve got a screenwriting/storytelling theory question for you. In an action/comedy script, is it “wrong” to start with a different tone, like an early jump-scare to get the audience going? Like, when you find yourself laughing because you didn’t expect it? TIA, love you.

You are free to criticize whatever you choose. It certainly is a polarizing topic.

Again, I’m not the producer. I don’t know the language of the contract Sasso signed when they created this podcast, and unless you do, you’re making assumptions that can’t be substantiated. ❤️

I’m not the producer of the podcast, how would I know. The point of the podcast is to learn what it can do and share that with the public. Demonizing the exploratory process is a bigger issue.

Pointing the finger at Sasso, is blatantly disregarding what his actual role in this is. 🤦🏻‍♂️

AI is not the devil, and doing an exploratory piece about what it’s capabilities are is not evil.

I’m not condoning it’s use for creative purposes, but exploring what it can do is not that.

It’s frightening that people can’t discern the difference between the two.

Will Sasso didn’t ask it to do this, the AI they use for their podcast did it by itself. They gave it access to all sorts of materials anyone can find online. It learned by itself, and decided to create it by itself.

Thanks so much Tim! I was really just hoping that tagging some other writers im connected with might add a bit of traffic to my post, but I would really appreciate the feedback!

Looking for a seasoned screenwriter to read a draft and give me notes, anyone? @timwestland.bsky.social @jamestopham.bsky.social @screenwritermac.bsky.social @staceycrussell.bsky.social anyone??

If you’re reading this, I hope you’re having a great day! If you’re not reading this, blame Elon Musk (I’m not sure why, it just seems like it’s his fault)

One of my peeps on the FKA-bird place posted this. It deserves a home here. Thank you again, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com

My wife’s family be spent $3700 on food over the last 3 days… … for 10 people. I hope they saved $300 to replace the ONE toilet we’ve all been using.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Thank you so much for your Masterclass. Your brilliance is truly inspiring.
