Re: Would you keep reading this?
I don't know how other people took it, but my point in quoting Shane Black's script was to show that a good, vivid, script can be written (and sold and turned into a movie) even though it breaks just about every "guru" rule. If you can "see" and "feel" the movie when you read the script, the writer has done his job.
The scripts that "almost didn't get made" (which really is pretty much inaccurate anyhow) are not the same thing. These "almost didn't get made" for various reasons not connected to the writing quality of the script. For the most part they were already packaged and shopped to the studios and budgets were the main concern. A completely different deal then buying a script from an unknown.
