What goes into writing a great movie script?

To develop a unique voice for each character, try interviewing your characters.

A scene should change valence from beginning to end. Up to down, down to up.

Outline everything. Use story beats. Keep character’s mouths taped up, until they absolutely MUST speak. Write the script and the dialogue at the last minute, after you’ve revised the hell out of the outline.

Why is Eric Clapton so roundly disliked among guitarists?

Maintain a slush pile/idea file. When you are ready to write, choose the best seeds to plant.

Use status to help drive conflict. King Lear/fool. Upstairs/downstairs.

Write in reverse time. Major characters need to change polarity; minor characters may remain the same at the end.

Why does my iPhone keep on saying I can’t upload photos to iCloud and say it doesn't have enough iCloud storage when it still has space?

All rules are made to be broken, but you damn well better know WHY you’re breaking them.

People choose what to see based on the high concept. Make sure to deliver an ending consistent with the high concept -- it is what the audience paid for.

A critical function of storytelling is wish fulfillment. This is why video games are so popular. “That protagonist is JUST LIKE ME.”

Only God gets it right the first time. Rewrite everything.

Actors give better feedback than writers do.

Research the facts and then throw away the research.

Conflict is your power source; without it you have no drama and hence no script.

What you leave unwritten is as important as what you write. SUBTEXT.

The DSM 5 is a wonderful character compendium.

Your primary job is to create situations. Modern actors will fuck up your dialogue, despite whatever your contract says.

Leave holes. Write and unwrite. Put it in, take it out.

Primary characters must change polarities. Secondary characters can change less.
