Do you where that hat while writing, Mikey? Is it your special Writers Hat?

"Dear Mr. Jackson
What we are looking for is an interesting concept, beautifully orchestrated.
Unfortunately your script is nothing like that and I don't think I can see this being very sellable.
We will not be taking this any further"

That is so uncanny.
Yes. That's the exact letter. :P

And yes, I'm always seeing lots of newspapers with eyeholes.

But no. Thats the hat I wear just before being sectioned.

Did it say

"Dear Mr. Jackson

If so, so did mine.

Wouldn't scripts just with interesting concepts or with bad concepts beautifully orchestrated be sellable?

Yes but it's a nice way of rejecting.

To be honest, I thought he was auditioning for a Chas and Dave tribute band.

I wouldn't know what that means

Bent, Dick & Head... I think they play for Tottenham.

I still don't know what significance a pearl necklace holds and I'm not far off 70 LOL

Darren Bent and Ally Dick were on Spurs' books, but if you want head try the Arsenal changing room.

Head managed Crystal Palace.

I've never seen C&D ever wear Fedora hats. :P

Hmm. Must be pick on Mike week.

I thought he it was Mikey's homage to the Hoffmeister Bear!

I must get one of those yellow jackets. :)

This looks more of a porkpie hat, but you can't deny the similarity!
