Judging from the scene you posted yesterday. I'd say that you need to concentrate more on getting a simple story together rather than on the dialogue and the "in-jokes."
Seriously man, you can come up with the greatest characters and the funniest dialogue EVER but if the story sucks then no one will ever bother to find out. (Think about it: When someone tells you about a movie do you ask "What's it about?" or "Is there a lot of quippy dialogue and Kevin Smith/Wrestling references?) you can always do another draft to change crappy lines and whatever but if there's no story then there's no point.
That's the main one, you should also try get a clear picture of WHERE the films taking place, the character talked like Americans but referenced Film Four and other things that made it look like it was in Britian.
And what kind of British name is Drexlar (or whatever it was) anyway?
Hope this helps.
