Neither. It means that they had a contract to write the script. They fulfilled that contract, and will get paid for it, and if anything from the script is used, they’ll get credit for it. They aren’t, however, getting paid for rewrites, etc. The terms of the contract can vary as to what that’ll mean monetarily, but…

no, it’s just unusual for writers to leave the project entirely and so publicly, they would always be kept on (esp this early) for re-writes etc
Lindelof is also someone who often acts as some kind of producer for many of his projects (if in name only).

I think this is part of a larger set of changes happening with Star…

It just means they’re unwilling to pay him for rewrites. It’s really hard to tell what it means. It could be nothing, or everything. However you feel about his writing, Lindelof is a big name, and probably pretty expensive. And with his style (He and J.J. pioneered mystery box writing.) it might actually be worth your…

In an ideal situation, the writer would stay on through production to help made edits while filming. Think of the Argo guy who wrote Rise of Skywalker and was on set with Abrams all the time, or Jonathan Kasdan with Last Jedi. Stuff like this is not uncommon, though, it just means someone else needs to either pick it…

“...his purpose here is testing whether he still has the juice to spark another violent demonstration.”

Writers get between $0.10 and $0.12 a copy sold for books between $50 and $100. Rather dishonest to pretend they are looking out for writers. 

Assuming how they describe their whole process is accurate, these are books that they have purchased or had donated to them. They scanned them, and once scanned, they literally lock them away so that no one else can read that book. Effectively, to read that copy, you do it through the borrowing system you’ve…

Um I think you're confused because your description is factually and utterly incorrect. There's no cracked or ripped software or multimedia on there. I think you've confused Internet Archive with Pirate Bay.

Amazing, everything you just said is wrong

And missing from your post is it’s all public domain, out of circulation or not accessible through any supplier or service

100 percent sure games had dodge/roll prior to Souls and D3 is at least 5 years older than Souls.  Souls did not event gaming ;) .  It’s a mechanic. I like the mechanic because I prefer a game to have a defense ability or at least give me that feeling of defensive ability. I’m not getting a lot of support and defense…

If someone were trying to start brick and mortar libraries today, these greedy fuckers would be bellyaching about them, too, and trying to shut the whole thing down.

Agree with your entire argument, but those last couple of sentences the most 🖤 

Ocarina of Time had it in 1998. And like every mechanic in Ocarina of Time, Mega Man Legends did it first in 1997. Wild Guns had it back in 1994. Flashback had it in 1992.

I mean GoW had it before Souls games.

I’m a writer and I’m on the side of the Archive, especially for those books that are Out of Print and out of Circulation. Digital copies are the only way to access these books that no one is making any funds of - who know all those books that wind up in the landfill or box sales at 25 cents a box for decades old…

Missing from this article is the fact that the Internet Archive isn’t just giving away digital copies of copyrighted works. It has a checkout system like any other library. In fact, for a lot of books, you can only check them out for an hour at a time while reading them in the online reader. They aren’t available for…

Growers - flaccid length is much less than erect length. (They may be smaller flaccid, but grow a greater percentage than showers.)

Criminal underuse of that theme song!

For us Kirby fans: Yes, this is the same Devil Dinosaur that Jack Kirby created in 1978 as a character to help Marvel Comics reach younger readers. It took a while, but it worked. Credit King Kirby!
