Marguerite,
I agree with you on adding in some examples. Thanks. I'll try and
use some very well known films so that most of us can relate to the
examples...or I may have to add in quite a bit of material.

I'm very interested in seeing "There Will Be Blood" because I've
heard the first 15-20 minutes contains no dialog. I've heard a few
folks say the film is a bit on the slow side, but that is very
subjective so I won't join in on that...but I'll pay just to see
those first 20 minutes.

One of the best questions to ask yourself as you plow through your
script is for every bit of dialog...ask yourself "Can I replace this
with a reaction shot...movement...object...etc." in order to make it
a better film. I tend to write the dialog then try and remove it.
