I like reading screenplays (and "regular" plays) because you have to imagine the "look and feel" of almost everything. It really exercises the visual imagination.

Websites like subscene.com and opensubtitles.org are pretty act…
Any guide on how to read a screenplay? Something that explains the 3a 3b etc on the right
Asterisks on the right side indicate lines added/changed since the previous revision. Big blank spaces indicate where lines have been taken away.
This complicated system is because pages are constantly being replaced/inserted and distributed as they're rewritten, without re-printing the entire script -- not just to save paper, but because people are writing personal notes/highlights/etc. on pages and you don't want to lose those.
