Don, thanks for posting this.  I'm actually one of the few I know of that liked this movie.  

I scanned over the first 10 pages, and find it funny because it is chalk full of "Wrong" things we are told not to put in there.  I know, I know, this horse has been beaten plenty before - just throwing it out there. :P  He introduces characters with no descriptions (even Tarantino puts some good descriptions), typos, not giving the character name until they are spoken to in the screenplay (i.e. Woman becomes Calvin). >:(

I know it's an early draft, which closesly follows the film that was produced, but still found it interesting.  The story is good which is probably why it was ignored.  It reads ok (first 10 so far).  Yes they are pros, and yes we should make "ours' as good as we can!!

It will be fun to finish this one and then will pop it in the player and watch the flick afterwards. ;D
