Does the formatting look all right to everyone else? I'm just getting a page with the script mixed up in a bunch of HTML or something. You should submit this in pdf, Mark.

Right now it's kinda hard to review this in the shape it's in, but I can tell from the paragraphs I read that your writing needs some work. Too many camera directions. No sluglines in sight. Big paragraphs.

Sorry, man. I would go into more detail if the formatting was readable.

Yeah this thing is a mess.  Syntax everywhere.

Agree with Will on the one readable paragraph.  A lot of camera direction and unfilmable words.  Cut out both and just stick to what we can see and hear.

Hopefully you can get this reposted soon.  Good luck.
