When he talks about the lack of craft in today’s US screenwriting, he’s talking as if “screen” and “movies” were synonymous.

What he ignores is the way that TV (especially pay TV) has taken over the challenge of producing well-written screenplays from the movies. Viz. Six Feet Under, Mad Men, The Sopranos, The Wire, etc.
