Movies that don't do any of the things he claims in the first 10 pages:

Groundhog Day
Alien
Jurassic Park
The Big Sick
Wonder Woman
John Wick
etc.

Movies that break the "on the nose dialogue" rule this guy states:

Inception
The Matrix
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
etc.

There are more but I'm too lazy to think of them. Basically, any movie with a "new" person is used as the audience's anchor, everything needs to be explained to them in detail in order to understand what's going on. Yes, sometimes these things are bad, but if you're a good writer, these rules don't apply to you. Daniel Calvisi would have thrown all these scripts out had he been given them. As far as I'm concerned, that makes this terrible advice. But, if you're a poor writer, these rules are a good way to hide your lack of skill.

Breaking down film scripts into this formulaic conveyor belt process of A, B, C rinse repeat is why we have so many bland, soulless movies that all feel the same

I guess I'm guilty of his first point. I have thick blocks of description, especially in my horror script that I just finished writing. I'm a hoarder by nature so it's gonna be hard going over it and seeing what I can take out :(

I’d always heard the inciting incident should occur around pages 15-20
