Okay, let me address the issue that must certainly be at the forefront of
everyone here's mind.
it all begins several years ago. Two guys are in dire straits. No one will
buy their screenplay and they're about to be fired off of it. Miramax has
already passed, but a dear friend and supporter of one of the writer's
offers to take the script directly to the chairman of the company for his
immediate attention. Gratefully the writer thanks his friend, gives him the
script, the Miramax chairman buys it, it gets made, the writers win the
Oscar for best screenplay and promptly forget to thank the Fellow(s) that
made it all possible way back when. No one would believe this, you say?
What ingrates and scoundrels you have for main characters, you proclaim?
Indeed, to sorry for fiction, it could only be true. Sadder still I am one
of said ingrates who has been locked in his hotel room in self-flaggelation
for the past two days. What numbskulls, what can I say, but this: Thank you
and I'm sorry.
Thank you Kevin and Scott for making this dream a reality.
Look for a piece in the trades to follow.
Thank you kevin.

make up for the billion viewers who missed it.
Thank you Kevin
Thank you scott
