Today I wrote something bad. It was bad. But I wrote it. Over the next few days I will probably write more bad stuff. Next week I'll try to make it good.

@MrRobValentine That's amazing!!!

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@SiUttley I am so sick of it. How many chances must I give them to prove they are good people? They're not.

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@BittrScrptReadr It’s the same with people who said The Acolyte made the Jedi look evil, or the Breaking Bad fans that voted Skyler their most hated character over the Nazis that killed Hank. People don’t get the difference between showing a character’s perspective and showing them sympathy.

@obryantcj @PAGEawards Congrats dude! Very well deserved

Times are hard for so many writers & other folks in Hollywood. I know plenty of folks who by all rights should be working, who are living off savings or taking on survival jobs.

Two things on this:

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@Autistic_Lauren Yes.

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@emilylisaacs That is not OK. Really shoddy behaviour on their part.

🎉 I figured out how to save tv, everybody! 🎉

- Less than 6 months between seasons
- 18+ episodes every season. If exceptions are made for less episodes, the next season has to come out quicker
- Send writers to set
- Promote the show
- The people making tv should like tv

@LaurenGallaway OK it’s either a Twi’lek or someone in blue leggings crowd surfing a blonde in a leather jacket 😁

@jmackieh I haven't made plans yet but am definitely contemplating it if I can be free!

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@DiscussingFilm And who decides who these super fans are?

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@mcphillr Love this one!

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@PaulTassi The sheer irony of people whose livelihoods apparently depend on spreading negative opinions on the internet calling those who don’t do that ‘shills’…

@MaceAhWindu George Lucas said TPM was “30 some odd years” before the original and that AOTC was “25 years earlier.” That leaves scope for 6 years.

@SCentralized My favourite battle in the movie- I like the lack of music and pure focus on the sounds and chaos of a gunfight.

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@MaceAhWindu I do find it Interesting that Tony’s first reaction to learning the truth is to attack Steve not Bucky. He didn’t blame Bucky for being controlled, he blamed Steve for hiding it.

@CubanMissileDH @DisneyPlus @GatenM123 @TonyRevolori @MichaelRCusack @marsaimartin @bibbymoynihan @BenjiSamit @shelby_young @SamWitwer @deebradleybaker @RossMarquand I had a lot of fun watching this one!

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

The Star Wars fandom is a better, happier place for having @StarWarsExplain

I cannot say the same for many YouTube channels but I will for this one.

[James Alexander Allen @JAAllenwriter]

@LaurenGallaway Take care!

@kellydirector I recently got rejected by a festival that is now adding insult to injury by sending me junk mail every day!
