The best bits of this were suspiciously the same as a script I submitted to the BBC 'New Talent' competition two years ago. Only my script was much better. Other bits were stolen and used on the Punt and Dennis show. I'm really angry.
shareI'm getting deja vu...
So in 2008 you sent in a script that is suspiciously the same as a film which was written in 2006?

Are you accusing the writer of using time travel to steal your ideas two years before you submitted them?
Better watch out, unless you can prove the time travel, you may find them accusing you of theft instead.
Are you sure you submitted them? Maybe you left it on a table in some pub after a night of drinking with three friends...
I'm holding everyone to a higher standard- a standard much higher than my own

Well starting a thread on IMDb is certainly going to be more effective than filing a plagiarism lawsuit.

What if I told you that there are no original ideas, just smaller or larger reworks of already existing ones?
shareYou mean my spec script for a movie titled; "A Man Who Can Do Things Similar To A Spider" isn't original??!!

SHUT UP TOBY!!!!
shareNobody stole your script.
And if your script was so good, why didn't they just buy it from you? That is far cheaper than hiring a more experienced writer to steal from you.
People who are nowhere near the industry fail to realize this. It's cheaper for them to just buy your script than to steal it. You are a nobody, you'd sell it for ridiculously cheap and be ecstatic about it.
The only people you need to worry about stealing your ideas are other nobodies that would write it themselves and pitch it themselves, but to who? Nobodies don't usually have pitch meetings set up with anyone important.
So yeah, no. No one stole your ideas that you can't prove you came up with in the first place.
All very good points.
People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefsī²
