Just what an incompetent tard. Of all the times he starts to talk about his screenplay its in the middle of the biggest writers strike since 2007.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Screenplay synopsis for me forever, Tiny Tim completion never
- Thread starter Tagine Enthusiast
- Start date
My favorite rake-stepping moment was him deciding to mention Kobe's rapes after his death. Black twitter fucking dragged him for a week over that.
Unfathomably based
It took me a full minute to read this because every clause made me laugh so hard. I always thought Redditors were complete fucking rejects but some of them are blessed with exceptional talent.
This is where Pat’s inability to say “I was wrong” really pays off for the audience.
What’s hilarious about Pat’s fairy tale is that a synopsis is pathetically easy to write. It’s not remarkable. Yet Pat thinks it makes him such a special boy that he dreamed it up as an entire ruse to burnish his profile. It’s like tweeting that someone just asked you to write the liner notes for an album no one will ever listen to. Even if it were true, big fucking deal. It’s about as noteworthy as what “locally cooked” tamales he had for lunch.
No, according to Pat “somebody” wrote the supposed screenplay (I doubt it even exists).
Execs get passed a huge volume screenplays. They don’t even read synopses for 99% of them; they have script readers who filter them first. Not even those readers are going to waste their time reading an entire script unless the synopsis is compelling. Time is money and amateur losers are time wasters.

Don't forget to notice his usage of the plural "synopses". He's a big deal who's written many.
It’s literally the easiest writing job possible. Anyone with an IQ over 100 could write several script synopses a day, and that’s accounting for many lengthy breaks. Pat is so far removed from the workforce that he thinks this is the kind of thing anyone would struggle with. As always, with every tweet he can’t help but reveal much more than he intends — none of it positive.
They might if there's an industry-wide strike and they're willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel for anyone outside of the union who's listed as a writer just to say they have ongoing projects. It doesn't matter if the work's trivial or whether those projects will ever see the light of day, in the short term it's more important to present the illusion of strength to the shareholders and the union to get the latter to tone down their demands at the negotiating table. Once those negotiations have concluded, the scabs'll be cut loose like the scum they are.
I think this is real because Piggy's doubling down defending his actions. Anyone else in his position would keep stumm and probably insist not to get public writer's credit to avoid disgrace and blacklisting from their peers. Pat's such a dopey narcissist he not only saw nothing wrong in announcing this, he probably insisted they tie his name to the script.
Just another clear cut example of special boy's mask slipping whenever it concerns his ego and well-being. All those years of treating authors as some elevated brotherhood who should be defended at every turn, oinking approvingly at socialist platitudes and squealing at those darn evil capitalists; and here he is selling his fellow writers down the river to megacorps for a pittance and the promise of some publicity.
Which side are you on, Rick? Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?
Scabtrick has a nice ring to it
Labeling Pat a scab is a fun bit, but of all the things he’s done, potentially crossing a strike line is among the most admirable.Btw I didn't know anything about this strike and decided to look into it:
Why We Strike
WGA members share their personal stories of working under an unsustainable business model.www.wgacontract2023.org
Bunch of faggots who daydream for a living and complain about it and act entitled. Talk about "12 hours a day 7 days a week" schedules. How much of that time is actually spent working and how much is spent "gaining inspiration" by browsing Twitter and sipping their fag lattes?
Fuck unions and their infantile blow-up rats.
Bet he forget about the writers strike because it's no longer trending on Twitter, and of course he has no friends in the industry. It would have been worth the stench to have been in the hovel to see how he reacted when he realized what he thought would be his big break and his way out of debt was just him being used as a Midwestern rube who'll be thrown out when the strike ends.
He's still just a selfish pig that he will absolutely go forward with this work. He probably needs the money for something.

"Someone offered me work. But I HATE work."
I've only just got to this post and I'm holy shitting and slapping my desk in anticipation of a brotherman finding out who she is.
***EDIT***
So that happened.
Solid enemy to make, fatso.
So I'm gonna attempt to give Piggy the benefit of the doubt here and accept he is talking about his own screenplay.
Usually, if you submit a screenplay somewhere; whether it be for a contest or for producer/studio consideration, you are required to include a synopsis. If your synopsis isn't interesting then nobody who even remotely matters will even get to the first page of your screenplay. The fact that he hadn't already done that when he was supposedly shopping scripts around only proves how stupid he is and how completely unqualified his "agent" and "producer" are if they didn't tell him that in the first place. Maybe it's something from a low-level contest he entered with his "writing partner" or maybe the "producer," who doesn't actually really work in the business, is looking for any scraps to attempt to shoehorn his way in before the strike ends and people start getting back to work properly.
What I can also say is that everyone on the struck list (ie, every single major agency and production company) have been told to return all writer-owned spec scripts and no new material is allowed to be delivered to any company on the list. WGA members have also been told to contact us with requests to either return their scripts or delete them if we don't own them yet. There are all sorts of other rules and demands that could also affect anything he might claim he's doing but the chance he would be asked to write a synopsis for another writers screenplay is less than zero.
So, I think ultimately, Pat is trying to Technicality Tomlinson himself into sounding like he has something going on when he has absolutely nothing or he's just lying, as usual. Whatever it is, he's being extraordinarily fat and stupid about it.

Except even he never claimed that.
It's the customary vagueness. Depending on how the reaction goes he can always say it's for himself and his agent wants him to do it. At the same time he might trick a few rubes into thinking he'a got something special going on because he's too uninformed about how anything really works and assumes everyone else is too.
