So the REAL answer is to write something good enough that they connect to it emotionally. Then, they will be able to just tell you how they felt. This makes them an excellent surrogate for a movie audience. And if you do that, you can say "we see" all day and write giant chunks of prose full of camera directions.
If a bad screenplay gets made, it ends up being a bad movie. There's no magic that can make a lousy story a good movie. The only thing that could make it a good movie would be if it were rewritten into a good script, but then it wouldn't be a bad script anymore.
How to create movie posters: AIDA. AIDA is the best formula for designing a performance-based poster, simply because it sells. The name is an acronym for 4 basic steps: attention, interest, desire, and action, and has been applied thousands of times to advertise successful movies. Posters based on AIDA are simply iconic – they present the ...

Did the writers get lazy whilst wrapping up Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy? It certainly feels that way in places during The Dark Knight Rises. The movie still has all the hallmarks of Christopher Nolan’s great direction. Thrilling set-pieces, impressive scale, amazing action. All these characteristics make it a great movie. However, the w...
Avatar changed the game when it came out in 2009. It feels unarguable that in the technology it pioneered alone it is a good movie. Add to that stunning visuals, massive ambition and imagination and it’s understandable why many people still love it to this day. However, that doesn’t preclude it from some bad writing throughout, mostly in some of it...
Yes we are mainly talking about Season Eight. It has been much publicised how much of a let down the final series of Game of Throneswas. This was particularly in the context of the writing. Bad writing can be found throughout the show’s eight seasons. Themes and story can be expressed in heavy-handed ways and often the plotting strains for believab...
As a thriller, Gone Girl is David Fincher at his finest. It’s a great watch. However, that doesn’t stop the writing from feeling contrived throughout, mainly in its plotting and characterisation. The narration is largely inconsistent throughout also. It seems to appear when it’s most convenient to reveal the plot. This is perhaps a hangover from th...
Signsis a compelling movie and successful in its primary objective – to terrify its audiences. Who can forget that birthday party video? Or the first interference heard on the radio? Or a terrifying scramble in the dark? Furthermore, the characterisation is brilliant. The family is so believable in its dynamic. In their backstory, individually and ...
Let’s be clear. The Wire is probably the greatest written TV series of all time (we see you Sopranos). However, some of the plotting within the fifth and final season of The Wire, strains at credibility. In particular we are talking about Jimmy McNulty’s arc. 1. Feeling at his wit’s end with the system, Jimmy decides to fake a serial killer. 2. He ...
Joe Wright’s Winston Churchill biopic, Darkest Hour, was nominated for Best Picture in 2018 and won Gary Oldman Best Actor at the Academy Awards. The movie largely serves as a compelling portrait of Britain during World War II. Furthermore, Gary Oldman’s performance is rich and entertaining. However, the movie contains a lot of bad writing. It part...
Perhaps not Aaron Sorkin‘s most widely praised work. But regardless, The Newsroom, in its witty and fast moving portrayal of cable news, remains vastly popular. A scene widely held up as an example of great writing feels, to us, like bad writing. We’re talking about the widely discussed ‘America is not the greatest country in the world anymore spee...
Guilty pleasure at its finest, Riverdaleis a great watch for those who love drama. The entire idea of the show is ridiculous – who looked at the Archie comics and thought, “You know, we could make a dark teen drama out of this”? Not just the overarching concept of the show is ridiculous, but practically every plot line is as well. Dialogue? It offe...
The very concept ofFace/Offfeels an example of bad writing. 1. The entire idea is that an FBI special agent goes through a procedure to literally steal the face of his terrorist enemy. 2. He does this in order to find out more about a bomb set to go off in a few days time. 3. Somehow the procedure also manages to change his voice, mannerisms, and b...
