Uh-oh... formatting question... I can hear the angry villagers amassing already.

Scott, your rebuttal to the "Tarantino Defense" as I call it might be the most succinct and reasonable one I've read. I might have to link to it.

Helps when John Ottman is your editor and composer.

On top of that an early collaboration between Ottman and Singer is a short called LION'S DEN where Ottman has credit as Sound Designer.

The "storytelling" of that scene was nailed in editing (post).

You are forgetting that pre-Internet era scripts have probably been scanned into document or pdf form and the scanners introduce numerous errors; for instance, scanning "look" into "leak" would be a common error.

Other errors come from automatic spell checkers which do not check for context.

Finally, a shooting script may have been changed during filming without any editing.

Still, I looked at the first page of each of this year's Oscar's nominees for best screenplay and all of them except one have stylistic no-nos and typos.

However, you can forgive the Cohen brothers when they write in all the camera shots directly. Hitchcock did that too; his screenplays are themselves directed.

Scott, thanks for the response, and James, thanks for the details re: John Ottman.
