Re: contracting. I know a couple people that only work contracts because they’re not really interested in a full-time job. They like chilling for a few months between gigs. No idea how prevalent this sort of behavior is, tho. Honestly, that sounds like the dream to me except I’m too filled with anxiety and paranoia to pull it off. I also tend to go crazy if I don’t work for three days in a row because the more free time I have, the more it’s impossible to ignore how pathetic I am.

It's not mutually exclusive that unionization is pretty foreign in certain industry cultures and its workers (especially contract ones, for obvious reasons) and that yet in abstract they could benefit from it.

The intent is laudable, it's not really what I find fault with ERA "advocacy".

??? He's not the "antagonist" at all in the show. He's the brother of the grieving mother, and is trying to help her.

Since i'm probably the only one on the Bore who watched Servant (which i loved, probably my show of the year) i'll say that from reading the pdf, the premise sounds very close, even though reborn dolls to cope with trauma are a thing, i could see them watching the movie and starting from that premise.
Both movie and show operating in the same horror/thriller genre probably doesn't help (though again, a girl coming down a dark stairway is hardly a unique idea).

However in the complaint itself they lament many points in which the show veers fundamentally from the premise and themes of the movie, as a way to indicate how they appropriated and bastardized the material, but to me could just as easily mean, that they had no intention of telling the same story.
A larger element of the show seems to be a mythology (so far only hinted at) about some sort of religious group, behind the nanny, which would further separate them.

That said, i see some of the similarities as rather suspect, and the premise itself is quite specific especially within the same genre.

I'm not gonna comment on M.Night's character 'cause i don't know the guy, and internet gossip is distinguished mentally-challenged fellowed, but with so many on GAF convinced Bloodborne invented gothic architecture, i'll admit i always tend to take these plagiarism claims with a grain of salt.

EDIT: Suffice to say, if they did copy from the movie, they should pay through the nose for it, and make her rich.

here is one major difference, however. When she wrote Emanuel, Gregorini pulled the story from her own grief over her inability to conceive a child, and from her relationship with Bach, who was frequently absent when Gregorini was growing up. The film is anchored in this sense of longing both to mother and to be mothered, and in the dynamic between two female characters who provide each other with a particular kind of affection that they’re craving. Servant, whose 10 episodes were all written by Basgallop, and whose six executive producers are all men, uses the same setup but largely ignores the emotional component of the relationship between Dorothy (played by Lauren Ambrose) and her nanny, Leanne (Nell Tiger Free). Dorothy is portrayed as an overambitious figure of fun immersed in her delusion; Leanne is a cipher whose true identity and motivations sustain the mystery of the series.

To Gregorini, the insensitivity with which the show treats its female characters adds insult to injury.

Does it make me a misogynist for thinking this is fucking stupid logic?

You're missing the point: A lot of the shots seem to copy her work. Now, while yes the comparison shots and tropes/etc. are things that are impossible to not copy, the same premise, the same shots (nearly, with a few changes), and general same-story is something to :hmm about.

It goes into territory of "how can you copy-write an idea/there is nothing new under the sun."

But you could compare this incident to something like: Bethesada Online Studios literally ripping off 1:1 (nearly) a Dungeons and Dragon's adventure writer's campaign/module to CTRL/CMD+F "find and replace" all mentions of certain words for Elder Scroll's-centric terms and thinking nobody would notice.

Thing is, their "Can we copy your homework, WotC?" "Sure, just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied." "Ok." -meme-izm broke because the original author's (and those modules players) saw the copy-writing-replacement and went "WTF, Beth?" to where Beth actually admitted they fucked up and removed the campaign (I'm not even sure if it's possible to find on the internet anymore since I think Beth paid search engines to scrub it, that's how badly they fucked up)

The idea/intention of the piece if what this allegation comes down to. You could say M. Night just had a similar idea to the "Running Out Of Time" book (a person that believes they're in a different time from the actual time finds out and has to go into the world, CULTURE SHOCK and other things) with a few changes, and sure: That happens a lot of the time and fan-fiction writers and actual writers tweak these things/tropes and play around with them to make new stories/things.

But when you copy 80% of the same story beats/tropes/camera-shots/writing-lines/whatever details you want to do here, it certainly "activates the almonds" in regards to "ok, this is creepily close to what I've written, did they see my shit, ape-it wholesale and think nobody would notice?" So she certainly has a case, especially if she can prove the executive producer saw her work since she worked with him in the past (and would have had to have sent a portfolio including her script/movie of this similar "idea"/story) and copied it/told M. Night about the idea and M. Night worked on it unknowingly or knowingly.

I've been working in gaming companies off and on for a decade and while the topic of unionization has come up a few times (even back at my first job in 2008), I've never talked with anyone who thinks it is plausible or that it would work. I've also yet to hear an explanation from someone who thinks it will help the industry that is based in reality.

Things need to change, but I don't know that a union is the way.

Against the handing of our patrimony to foreigners.  Against the pathetic manlets in our government and law enforcement who are complicit in globohomo's plans to destroy us.  Against our own moral failings as well, after all we can't blame these outsiders for our own moral downfall.  We have abandoned God and embraced worship of self.



Most Asians are awesome.  As are all people on the Earth we share.  They each have their own unique genius and the God given right to express and improve it in their own homeland.  We should have cordial cultural and trade relations with all of them.  Colonialism should be buried as a relic of the past.  We, however, have every right to remove them from our homelands so we can hand our lands down to our own children intact.

You do know. The Intersect is a Socialist Magazine and has been in Bernie's corner from Day One. Why would they do a piece like this for Warren unless they couldn't ignore the truth?

SOCIALISM :yikes :stop

Penny Arcade forums are still active for nerd stuff, but I left there after it became an Elitist shithole. Someone went on a massive tirade against me all because I said I preferred one martial arts over another due to my physicality. Dude started screeching about being "qualified" enough and went down the deep end of his own ego.

 :ryker I'd read that.

The box office bombs that Disney was mandated to distribute were a financial turd to their 2019 streak of billion dollar hits. That was the final nail in the coffin which proved that moviegoers didn't really care for 20th Century Fox as much as film fandom say they do.

A subtle rebranding to transform the 21st Century Fox assets into cleaner subsidiaries that no longer suffer the inorganic corporate baggage from Rupert Murdoch was just smart business.

The complaints (listed in the tweet thread) has comparison shots and it's... :hmm

(Image removed from quote.)

 :iface

I mean, some of them aren't there. But others like how the shots are composed certainly is :hmm -worthy.

Not the first time M. Night has plagiarized, so I'm willing to give this writer the benefit of the doubt.

I admit I only skimmed it, but... most of it seems like a real fucking stretch, especially claims like "its really rare in films to see a shot of someone doing something from the perspective of being outside the window of a house looking in, then cutting to the perspective of being inside".
Like, all the thimgs claimed as being so novel that it could only be copying from her are all tropey as fuck horror film conventions, right down to the central premise of spooky doll that comes to life

You're missing the point: A lot of the shots seem to copy her work. Now, while yes the comparison shots and tropes/etc. are things that are impossible to not copy, the same premise, the same shots (nearly, with a few changes), and general same-story is something to :hmm about.

It goes into territory of "how can you copy-write an idea/there is nothing new under the sun."

But you could compare this incident to something like: Bethesada Online Studios literally ripping off 1:1 (nearly) a Dungeons and Dragon's adventure writer's campaign/module to CTRL/CMD+F "find and replace" all mentions of certain words for Elder Scroll's-centric terms and thinking nobody would notice.

Thing is, their "Can we copy your homework, WotC?" "Sure, just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied." "Ok." -meme-izm broke because the original author's (and those modules players) saw the copy-writing-replacement and went "WTF, Beth?" to where Beth actually admitted they fucked up and removed the campaign (I'm not even sure if it's possible to find on the internet anymore since I think Beth paid search engines to scrub it, that's how badly they fucked up)

The idea/intention of the piece if what this allegation comes down to. You could say M. Night just had a similar idea to the "Running Out Of Time" book (a person that believes they're in a different time from the actual time finds out and has to go into the world, CULTURE SHOCK and other things) with a few changes, and sure: That happens a lot of the time and fan-fiction writers and actual writers tweak these things/tropes and play around with them to make new stories/things.

But when you copy 80% of the same story beats/tropes/camera-shots/writing-lines/whatever details you want to do here, it certainly "activates the almonds" in regards to "ok, this is creepily close to what I've written, did they see my shit, ape-it wholesale and think nobody would notice?" So she certainly has a case, especially if she can prove the executive producer saw her work since she worked with him in the past (and would have had to have sent a portfolio including her script/movie of this similar "idea"/story) and copied it/told M. Night about the idea and M. Night worked on it unknowingly or knowingly.

You fuckin marks couldn't even recognise that Shyamalan is just graduating to ARG twists.

"The way the colors are rendered are very impressive. Frankly I've never seen a Switch game render clothing this good either. That's right Richard. I think they're using a temporal anti-aliasing technique here which gives it that soft and smooth look. That and of course SUPERB ART DIRECTION You could say it is NINTENDO MAGIC.

I’m legitimately surprised people are down on the female Byleth’s design. It feels like among both men and women fans it’s considered the better and more interesting design.
It seems you need a refresher, you should check the OP.

Ethan Van Sciver, the head of Comicsgate, made a name for himself as a 45 year old balding morbidly obese man, by buying dozens of Rose action figures and angrily dismembering them:

:dunno

I'm pretty fucking sure he 'made a name' for himself before any kulturkampf bullshit.

Which is why has an entry on wiipedia. And resetera doesn't :teehee
