Line 92:
Craig Mazin does not hold back on his disdain for Carson Reeves and his Scriptshadow blog where professional (along with amateur) scripts are reviewed; subsequently, one of Mr. August's rewrites of a possible tent-pole movie at Fox was reviewed by Reeves. The studio went "ballistic", and though the review generally positive, it was taken down. Mazin broached the topic again on episode 186 (March 3, 2015) in which Mr. Reeves negative review of the ''[[Birdman_(film)|Birdman]]'' screenplay was cited as an example of why Mr. Reeves' opinions are misplaced, unnecessary and unwelcome, considering ''Birdman'' went on to win six Oscars at the 2015 ceremony, Best Director and Best Screenplay among them.
Funny enough Mazin broached the topic again on episode 291 (March 07/2017) of the Scriptnotes podcast. Mr. Reeves of the Scriptshadow blog called out 2017 Oscar winners Moonlight (which won the Best Adapted screenplay award), and Manchester By The Sea (best Original screenplay) as terrible screenplays that any of the 10,000 WGA members could have scripted. Mr. Mazin's issue was that Mr. Reeves should have written them himself if that's the case, then went on to call Mr. Reeves an 'idiot' suffering 'delusions of grandeur' since Mr. Reeves had expressed his views on a public blog as opposed to a private conversation.
