1:00 – “Amityville is a name that people know because of, you know, the real movies.”

Newt has two “original” scripts based on these real movies.  He knows what this is.  He knows that this is just ripping off somebody else’s ideas.  This is all that the self-proclaimed Ideas Man knows how to do.  Plagiarise.

1:15 – Then he starts talking about his stupid, plagiarised, clown script.

4:00 – Now he’s talking about how his parents met because the Amityville movies.  The real ones.

9:30 – Newt is talking about smocks that he wore in middle school art class.  He says that he wore his father’s dress shirt, inside out.  

What kind of privileged upbringing did Newt have?  A dress shirt?  Why would you get a good shirt to use as a smock?  I just had an old t-shirt of my father’s.  I couldn’t imagine saying, “Hey, I’ll need one of your finest shirts.  This t-shirt isn’t working for me.”

Fucking nobody had a dress shirt.  It doesn’t even make sense to use a nice shirt as a smock.  Maybe Newt’s family was just so wealthy that I can’t even comprehend it.

13:00 – “I’ve written three Amityville scripts.”

Oh.  I thought it was only two.  What a treat.  There’s a third plagiarised script.

Then he says that he’s copyrighted the title “Amitville Halloween”.  First of all, what is he even copyrighting?  There’s no movie.  He’s copyrighting an idea?  A rough script that he shat out in two days?  I’m not sure if you can do that.  

And he’s copyrighting STOLEN IDEAS.  

13:30 – “The Amityville thing is not a new idea.  So when I see people saying, ‘Oh, you’re stealing this idea’, that’s the whole fucking point.”

Oh.  How silly of me not to get this.  Newt “The Ideas Man” Wallen is INTENTIONALLY ripping off other people’s ideas.  There’s…some kind of art to this that I’m just not seeing.  He’s on a whole other level.  This is some avant-garde shit.  Like that urinal guy.  Duchamp.  Newt is making anti-movies to expose the hypocrisy of the film industry.  More than that, he’s exposing the absurdity of intellectual property as a concept.  Nobody should be able to own an idea.  Once an idea is out there, it belongs to everybody.

Or Newt is just completely bereft of ideas.  He can’t write.  He can’t make a movie.  And he’s totally wasting his life.  You can decide which.

14:00 – Then Newt suggests that Sleepy Hollow is going to be his next public domain work that he rips off.

Oh, there was a “premiere” of this video.  So somebody says, “I’d love to read through some of your scripts”.  Newt replies, “i wanna do readings of them, like a radio play”

We can all look forward to that.
