1, 2 weeks ago he tweeted something to the effect of "Script going out for coverage! Will be nice to have another set of eyes confirm how great this is!"
Oh, imagine his excited little face opening the email. Then that moment of realizing the coverage tore his dumb little script apart. But Piggy boy can never fail, so now it's just a rough draft. I'll take the weekend to cry over not getting my way, and polish this baby into the Oscar-winning screenplay that will launch my Hollywood career! That's what I'll do!
There's this:1, 2 weeks ago he tweeted something to the effect of "Script going out for coverage! Will be nice to have another set of eyes confirm how great this is!"
Producer likes our new script and wants to send it out for coverage. We thought we had a good one but it's always nice to get outside confirmation. Now to pick a new project.
Just found out a script my partner and I wrote a couple years back is advancing to the quarterfinals of a screenplay writing competition with 1600 entries.
Maybe we're pretty okay at this after all.
You're right. It doesn't. You could read me the entire script and I'll still be just as excited to actually watch and experience the movie on opening night.
I wonder if it is this one. Says it averages 1600 entries:(Notice he's careful not to mention which competitionhe's sent it in tomagically had it arrive at, in case he loses)
LOL Pat's script has no hope. Can you imagine Coppola's utter contempt if he ever read it?I wonder if it is this one. Says it averages 1600 entries:
AMERICAN ZOETROPE

It won’t affect his appetite, fortunately.Sounds like the "coverage" review has suggested more changes that he was expecting and got his ego hurt.
If Hamtaro is getting it back, then it's not "coverage" - it's just some bored, low-rent freelancer (his wife?) giving him a second opinion on the first draft of his shitty script.Script coverage is the summary and analysis of a script's plot and writing quality, used by production companies to track film and TV screenplays. Coverage consists of a number of elements. The first is a 1-to-2-page synopsis of the script's story highlighting the main characters and events of the tale. The second is a subjective review of the piece (typical length of which could range anywhere from 1 sentence, in short-form contest coverage, to 2 or 3 pages) which assesses the effectiveness of the screenplay's various components—including its concept, story structure, story development, characters, dialogue, and writing style—and points out its strong points and problem areas. The evaluation ends with a recommendation from the analyst as to what he/she feels the production entity should do with the script.
Yeah, but remember that Pat decides what words mean, so he can't be using it wrong.So, I googled the term "coverage" (because I love it when ol' Mary Sue Porklinson uses technical terms in the hope that someone will ask him what it means) and it turns out he's using it wrong:

Also, bonus points for not naming his "writing partner"; God forbid anyone else get any credit.
I did the same when he first did it. I bet if it went to real coverage it gets a "Pass" rating. Note that a "Pass" is not like pass/fail but in this case "Pass" is used as in "We'll Pass on this one".So, I googled the term "coverage" (because I love it when ol' Mary Sue Porklinson uses technical terms in the hope that someone will ask him what it means) and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_coverage#Script_timeline']it turns out he's using it wrong:[/URL]
