I hope the Steve Koren campaign is some sort of joke between him and Toph Eggers and that they're best friends or something. Otherwise, that is just nasty and ignorant. Eggers (yeah, Dave's kid brother) doesn't seem to know how the business works. I'm no fan of most of the films Koren has his name on (several of them co-written by others, Adam Sandler included), but to blame one single writer for the failure of a film is completely off base. Eggers, who calls himself "a screenwriter in Los Angeles" has two writing credits on IMDb, one of which is "Catblock (The Ultimate Co%kblock)", a film he also directed. I encourage everyone to watch it and predict the outcome of his career. Since the film was made for Funny Or Die, I have my prediction: R.I.P. Toph Eggers.

I was deeply disturbed by the Toph Eggers article. He came across as petty, mean and an utter f***k nut. Not to mention completely unprofessional. After listening to a positive and uplifting podcast a few weeks ago (August & Mazin) on the unwritten protocol of respecting your fellow writers and NEVER throwing another writer under the bus, this article left me with nothing but bile build-up in my throat. I suggest starting a petition to get this bored diva with illusion of grandeur off the net and perhaps a lifetime supply of duct tape for his mouth (correction: fingers).

Agreed. That Eggers thing really pissed me off. He even trashed "Bowfinger" which is hilarious and has arguably the greatest performance of Eddie Murphy's career (and is at 80% on RT, the site Eggers uses to trash the other films written by Koren) and was written by Steve Martin. And it's really not that difficult to defend Koren's record (2 SNL adaptations - those rarely turn out good, Adam Sandler's movies are what they are (even when masters like Apatow or Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor contribute to the scripts), and Bruce Almighty was pretty decent and made a half a billion dollars. Toph Eggers can suck it.

Dev Wadhwa, care to get into it?
