Think Hollywood is Immune to the Bullshit of a Standard 9-5? Guess Again. It Looks Like a Major Movie Studio Stole My Film, Remade It, and Didn’t Pay Me a Dime

In 2011, I wrote and directed a no-budget movie called “Memory Lane”. I shot it in my grandma's garage with a camera from Wal-Mart and my roommates as actors. Somehow, it was good enough to world-premiere at Sci-Fi London in May 2012 and ultimately be released in 13 (I think) countries on VOD and wherever DVDs were sold (pretty awesome to see our little movie on shelves at Target next to big, Hollywood releases). Fast forward to August 2021. I get a text: “Bruh. I just watched your movie on HBO Max. It's called 'Reminiscence'.” I headed over to HBO Max, turned on “Reminiscence” and was blown away. Not because it was good. But because it was my movie. Same character names. Same plot points. Ads for their movie used my film's title and retooled tagline. I contacted attorneys immediately. None of them would take the case mainly because you're…

This is the third in a series of posts I've made here trying to spread useful knowledge. This is a follow up on how my scheme to take more control over my own employment has worked out. I'm happy to report the op was more than successful. I not only am guaranteed the schedule I want, the head of the store was so moved by my performance that she gave me her personal number. Now I have a direct line to the highest physical authority within the building. I'm pretty sure she wants to fuck me. Nice lady but not my type. Of course this is irrelevant as seduction is the best tool of any Interzone agent. Regardless, I will probe management for further information. Possibly penetrate the digital security v'ger with my specialized ACME usdICK penetration tool. For now though resume cover as a degenerate on Reddit. Transmission Complete.…

Advice: feel like I’m being pushed out

So long story short I work in marketing and in November last year I took a week off on mental health leave cause ya know depression and stuff (btw I’m in Australia so that makes a difference in terms of our sick leave and such) Anyway ever since then I’ve been taken off some accounts, given intern level tasks like spending all day taking screenshots and changing fonts and all in all my workload has decreased significantly when my colleagues are drowning under their workload. I’ve asked plenty of times for more work but they seem to be hesitant in giving it to me, just giving me enough to make my timesheets. So like are they trying to make me leave without firing me because they know that they’ll be in the wrong if they do or am I just losing my mind
