Some friends reminded me of this video today. This is from Saturday Night Live in 1997. Who knew that Kevin Spacey was so good at impressions?

The advice and rantings of a Hollywood script reader tired of seeing screenwriters make the same mistakes, saving the world from bad writing one screenplay at a time. Learn what it takes to get your script past one of these mythical Gatekeepers.
About Me
- The Bitter Script Reader
- I've been reading scripts in Hollywood for over ten years. In that time I've read for Oscar-winning production companies, and one of the "Big Five" agencies, among others. I'm here to share what I've learned.... mostly because I'm sick of reading bad scripts.
I'm that guy you need to get past at the agencies and production companies; the first one in the office to read the script.
email me at ZuulTheReader@gmail.com
Please NO requests to read your material. All such queries will be ignored and deleted unread.
I do NOT have a notes service so please don't send me an email asking about rates. And in case it wasn't clear the first time - DO NOT ASK ME TO READ YOUR SCRIPT!
