Bottom line is, the guy that wrote a history of violence should go by this rule:
If you meet a writer and you genuinely like them and think that they have a chance or that they know their stuff, read a two page outline and pitch page. It takes 15 f**king minutes and if you have nothing else better to do for 15 minutes (watching BB or something) why not read it. I would do it if I was in his position, why not, I wouldn't have the arrogance to shout 'f**k off' in the media because I wanted to feel 'special' in some way like he obviously is doing.
If you just meet someone who is quite obviously a hanger on or thinks he is owed a favour and doesn't take the time out to say hello or not know your work or who thinks he is the best writer in the planet, say "I'm not going to read your f**king script".
