Just Saw Fantastic Four
One question for the cognoscenti.

How many times will they raid that one piece of unfinished work?

I mean it is quite irritating to know that a solitary indigent unsung Negro has basically acted as muse to Hollywood for the past two decades and has received ZERO compensation and ZERO recognition.

Do you realize that from that one piece of unfinished work (and earlier efforts) they farmed out inimitable elements to the following movies:


Die Hard
Terminator II
The Matrix
The Mummy
The One
The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
The Return of the Sith
The Fantastic Four

I wonder how many more movies have been made or are in the works based on this guy´s stuff.

It´s for those who know. That´s about perhaps 20 people on earth. Perhaps a few more who have access to personal profiles etc.

Can´t name the guy as that would impinge on his privacy. But I´ll tell you the Wachowski Brothers lifted (and thoroughly screwed up) two of his works almost wholesale to produce The Matrix and then its two sequels, knowing full well the victim couldn´t afford legal representation.

This is how Hollywood is actually run by the way.

Check out the scene in the Matrix Reloaded where Neo and the elder consider the machines working beneath Zion and you´ll get the picture.

Didn´t they basically plagarize another author´s work--Sophia Stewart? Perhaps they plagerized many people.

Here´s how it works. They´re are perhaps a handful of talent guys on earth, less than ten.

Unwittingly these guys are milked for their ideas from early childhood until they catch wind of the fact they´re being watched.

Hollywood (and other inddustries) benefit from this. If these people are ever in the position to challenge them legally, they set up a fake plaintiff and settle a phoney case before the real case can be called.

I, Robot, case in point. Robots from Lucas, sets from Borne Identity; story hacked over from Isimov, fresh prince from belair, future car from AI, tunnel scenes from MIB....presto change-o. A movie is born. What´s up with that?

Re: Just Saw Fantastic Four
Let me explain this to you ice cream.

Hollywood is full of talentless drones.

The real talent is NEVER acknowledged.

Anyone famous in Hollywood is a member. They get their ideas handed to them to develop along industry lines. These ideas NEVER start out the way they´re presented to you.

The bottom line is this:

Poor Negroes get ripped off.

No seriously.

You´d be stunned by the extent to which this goes on, not only in Hollywood, but especially in the Comic book industry. Stan Lee built his empire of the plagiarised works of the American underclass.

You said he was unsung, not ripped off. wink

Yes, this type of thing happens all the time. I think it´s just as bad in arenas like Boxing, and countless other entertainment industries.

If he´s been acting as unofficial muse to Hollywood for two decades without pay or recognition I´d say he was ripped off. Wouldn´t you?

And it IS about being black. That´s the point of this post. ALL OF THE GREAT IDEAS are lifted EXCULSIVELY from indigent black people. Don´t believe me. Ask an intellectual property lawyer. It´s the first thing they´ll tell you.

.... I´m stunned that anyone would/could be stunned by these kinds of antics. I mean, and after all, they´ve only been going on for.... oh... about 10,000 or so years now. And too, I´d say he just may also be a dang fool, and if he´s been playing to that same tune for 20 years.

Less than 10,000 years.

And yeah. Try telling a kid his family members are really part of a demonic network picking the bones of his talents and watch it take over 20 years for him to realize.
