My comment about the, air quotes, writing.
David Guggenheim, while putting words down on a piece of paper or into a computer is technically considered an act of writing, I would like to inform you that what you did was an assault on the form.
That. Was. Horrendous.
I could go into Freshmen composition classes at community colleges all across the USA this afternoon and find endless stories more intelligent and considered.
However, that said, what you did was entertaining. I was able to witness a former A-list star go slumming in the worst possible way yet again. I do find that intriguing.
If someone has pandered to you and seriously gave you positive feedback about anything you wrote during the process, they were stroking you, man. All I could think was that you're somehow attached to the money on this thing. There's no logical reason your script should exist to the point of a finished film.
A typical response to criticism such as this usually involves something along the lines of, "Where's you movie, hotshot?" Trust me on this, if I ever had the choice to put my name on something of this low caliber or take a pass, I'll choose the latter.
Here's a clue: when you show your characters doing something that supports the plot, they don't have to also lecture another character about what we've just witnessed.
You wrote this script. It got made. The universe confuses me.
