Dept. of Schadenfreude
Courtesy Salon writer Heather Havrilesky's personal site, a blog full of actual query letters from would-be filmmakers. Here's a snippet from one:
Our gal slaps him across the face with a serendipitous love that swerves him into the passing lane of a road that was taking him nowhere and she tells him to get off at the next exit. She knows comedy (as her father runs a low rent school where he teaches the craft), and she doesn't believe her new love should have to settle for court jester when he could be a crown prince in the movies.
Wow.
