I thought I'd misunderstood the story or was missing something in some other way. But, no, from the comments I see it really is as boring of a story as I thought. Where are the plot twists and turns? Zero.
I’m mostly confused as to why this would be a movie anyway???? Like yes it was a sweet story, but would anyone sit there for an hour and a half to watch a guy graciously fix cars, then receive one as a gift? Is that it? 💀
It’s not just it, the original video had the full story of her whole family. The car was passed around a lot, her family moved to a farm, there’s the part about how her parents met and fell in love, plenty of stuff for a cheesy family movie.
On what planet is "my grandpa was nice to an old lady so she left him her car" a film-worthy story? That little hot wheels feature seems like the exact r right place for that story. It's a cute little five minute story and at the end she gets a toy model of her car. Then she could tell tiktok about the time she was on tv
It might work as a series of vignettes? Like, here's what the car meant to the original owner (love story? Overcoming adversity? Freedom that a car represents? What symbolism is there in passing it on to a mechanic and not her child?), and here's a second in the future, what it means to her. Still, probably not a full feature length film
The full TikTok had a much longer story about her whole family and the car having multiple owners, Pinely showed just the start. The editing makes it seem like he cut up the whole video into that summary but no, he played the first part in full and then said the full video was 5mins long. I see how that confusion can happen, she cuts around a lot, it’s pretty jarring lmao
This story is so boring and has no plot, but it has that Dhar Mann type of idea: be nice to ppl, bc you never know who might turn around and give you something in return. Gross.
Yeah, it's like the psychopath/sociopath's view of empathy. "You don't feel empathy, so why would you be nice or kind? Well, because you might get something out of it, eh? Wink wink." Like...no, most people understand that when people treat them badly, they feel bad, therefore other people feel that when you treat them badly, too. So treat them the way you would want to be treated simply because you don't want to be the cause of more suffering in the world, or you even want to alleviate it for someone.
The full story in the original TikTok is pretty interesting, that car went back and forth a lot of times, it would make a cozy family movie, a lot of road trip stuff, a lot of old car nerd stuff… not really my style but it’s not fair to judge only the start
If anyone in this thread feels victimized by references to all or nothing, I know of a very healing service where for the low low price of $30 you can vent your feelings to a person who definitely doesn’t have child slaves and she’ll give you advice
It legitimately surprises me that so many people think her story can work as a novel or feature length film. It can work as a children’s book about how selflessness is more rewarding than being selfish, but beyond that? Can’t say I’m interested.
Media incomprehension. The comments sound like they never think about the movies they watch, they just watch them. Why not watch a movie about nothing when they never want to look past the nothing? Lol
Agreed. I was sitting here listening to Pinely recap the story and was waiting for the story to go somewhere. So the story is a gas station owner treated elderly people with respect and their reward was a car that they ended up just parking out front like a boy scout badge? Cool, I guess. But like.....that is not a movie. That isn't even a book. That is a campfire story at best. That is a story a grandmother tells her grandkids on the porch for the 17th time that summer,
@@remygallardo7364 yeah, the part where she said he took the car away from the dead lady’s son even though he ‘didn’t even need it’ and then didn’t even use it and just parked it out front was wild. And this is supposed to be a heartwarming tale? Business owner took a nice car from a stranger and then let it sit outside unused doesn’t exactly make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Like, yeah I guess it’s a sweet gesture from the old lady but I’m sure her son might have appreciated it more unless he also owned a business and has more than enough vehicles at his disposal lol.
The unreasonable anger I feel whenever people do things like this, like commenting they need their own Netflix show or deserve an Oscar for the most mundane things 😭 😭 😭
This is almost identical to all the kickstarters on tumblr back in the early 10's to make a single panel webcomic or a one liner into an entire MMORPG or movie/book franchise and it got eaten up and OBVIOUSLY never went ANYWHERE and a bunch of people got scammed out of a bunch of money. History will always repeat itself because we never seem to learn from it.
This wouldnt even be enough of a story for a Lifetime or Hallmark movie... I would love to interview the 8k people who said this should be a movie. In what world?
This would absolutely be a good enough movie for a Hallmark movie just by adding in some romance between the gas station granddaughter and the car giving grandson
Cause the full TikTok had a much longer story that’s pretty much a hallmark movie, Pinely showed just the start, not a summary. The OG video tells about how her parents met, other people who owned the car, family stories, road trips, a bunch of car nerd stuff… I see how it would make a movie for people who like it
@@modelmajorpita That's what I was thinking --- make it a romcom Hallmark thanksgiving film, use that as the premise + setting + plot setup. but it's not the whole film. The only interesting take I saw on that is a comment in another thread who thought maybe vignettes of the car with each owner at a critical point in each of their lives, & it might be a nice Altman or something akin to "Boyhood" that comments on life + time.
That would be an awful film. You know what would be more interesting? A movie about a woman who pretends to sell her ultra simple small story about a car to A24, and has to keep lying and pulling scams until the lie gets exposed. >_> It was a long con all along. lol
@@GogiRegion Yeah it sounds a bit like that film "The Informant" haha, essentially a guy just makes up so much crap that people start listening to him.
I find it funny that not one part of this actually has her relatives not even a photo of him and the car, you know the person who actually got the car, it's all about her.
that's because it was always about her. It wasn't about the car, it was about HER car. HER grandfather. HER directorial debut. She's one of those people who will say anything just to be the centre of attention. Unfortunately the internet and general, and especially TikTok are a veritable petri dish for these types, as no one ever stops to think about whether what she's saying is true, because it's a fantasy story that they can pretend isn't a story.
She should have taken the hot wheels deal…that was realistically the most money she actually could have gotten out of this whole thing. Especially after all this nonsense
There is zero chance she was actually getting any hot wheels deal lol I have a friend who spent years of his real life building a whole ass car from scratch by himself, and actually did get his own custom hot wheels made. He got paid nothing and received zero cool TV appearances lol that's just not how it works. Mattel writes checks to GM and Ford, not random internet girls. They made the fuckin Barbie movie for fuck sake lolol
I really don't like this trend of people misusing satire to deflect criticism or as a shield for their dishonesty. It's always been and hopefully will continue to be despite this trend, a powerful tool for critique and social commentary. I feel like she might've just been embarassed that people found out. I think if she was just honest that she really wanted this to the point she lied, people would have at least respected it. But now shes just blending dishonesty with this "satire claim" that no one knows even there even is some truth to the original story.
Honestly, she could've just tried making the story an independent short film that was crowdfunded. Or work with her dad on writing a short memoir. It's a nice little story that could make a heartwarming little memoir or short film. Instead, she did this elaborate publicity stunt for what? She just tainted a nice little story with a massive lie like ??? Also, "I did it for satire" is just the excuse people now use for lying about something. The word "satire" has lost all meaning on the internet. (Edit: forgot some words lol)
Yeah, the whole story could be summed up in a sentence or two. “My dad owned a gas station where he gave special treatment to elderly women, and one leaves him her car in her will as thanks” Voila, there is your whole plot
It's actually a pretty shit story. Petit bourgeois business owners do their literal job for a while, then are unnecessarily "rewarded" with something they don't need, do not use, and is left sitting. This woman is utterly disgusting.
@LORDOFGLOOP If the story is true, it seems like they were very kind to a lady that probably didn't have many people in her life. There is literally nothing wrong with that. Not every fucking situation has to lap back around to "capitalism bad" FFS. 🙄
If going to film school taught me anything it’s that everyone thinks they can be a screenwriter but very few of them actually know or care about how the film industry works, I think this is a pretty good example of that
Yeah, among other things. Imagine thinking that owning a car that was given to your grandfather somehow qualifies you to write and direct a film? Like that doesn't even make sense.
My favorite part is when she says the son came to her father and said, "you were nice to my mom. She has passed and wanted you to have her car" and her father responds with "wait, aren't you her son?" It's like, yeah dipshit, I literally just called her my mom. Astute observation.
To be fair, there was a movie a little like that about the relationship between an elderly white woman and her black driver. Of course, it was about their relationship spanning many years including a speech given by Martin Luther King, Jr.
@maxwellversed right haha I mean I'm sure someone could take that story and flesh it out into something good, it'd need to be pretty character driven but it could work. I just have ZERO faith in this girl pulling it off lmao
I really doubt that, haven't you heard about the low budget movies that get announced and are based on trends or Internet lies?? For example Momo, The Wonka Glasgow scam, Public domain characters etc. This could really become a real thing unfortunately.
right? This is almost identical to all the kickstarters on tumblr back in the early 10's to make a single panel webcomic or a one liner into an entire MMORPG or movie/book franchise and it got eaten up and OBVIOUSLY never went ANYWHERE and a bunch of people got scammed out of a bunch of money. History will always repeat itself because we never seem to learn from it.
As a screen writing major I must say, there is not enough here for a full movie. Like basically her grandparents treated people nicely and then got a car. So they did something good got rewarded and that is it. There is no conflict, no real obstacles, almost no info on any of the characters, and almost no plot. Like was the gas station struggling and the family was arguing over how the gas station should run? How does everyone in the family relate to each other? Did he develop a closer friendship with any of the women that gave him a new perspective on life? Is there something special about this car other than it looks cool which can lead to more drama. There is nothing here that says this is fit to be adapted for a feature film. It could be a short story, or maybe a short film but that's it, but not all interesting family stories make good movies.
I'm a writer with some moderate success (nothing major but enough to live on), and I see this a lot where people just throw around the word "copyright" and think it's magic. It can vary depending where you are, but ultimately copyright is just the recognized ownership and right to replicate your original work. You technically don't need to register with the WGA (you can use "The Poor Man's Copyright"; mail it to yourself as register post and never open it). The important point to remember is you can't copyright an idea, just the execution of the idea. So the anecdote about her car can't be copyrighted. Her script can be, and so can the story she structures around it and major plot points, sure, but not the story she told in her TikTok. That's just an anecdote. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she meant to say the script was copyrighted, but even then it's a little silly to go online and tell a story you think is so award winning or is going to get the attention of A24 (especially given the films the tend to go for). There's an interesting story in there, sure; maybe it's "her" going on a road trip to return the car to the son at her dying grandfather's request, and she learns about the good and ill in people across America. It's a good prompt, but hardly a million dollar deal. Also, if she was attached to NBC and Hallmark like she said, why sully those deals by having a stink like "yeah, I would have preferred A24"? It's like telling your boyfriend "you're my placeholder". Even if it's true, there's tact.
Sth that wouldn't be out of place in a Dhar Mann video segment being championed like this was the creative screenplay Hollywood's missing is hilarious. This would be a picture book at best.
Ah yes the classic "nah bro it was satire" when you straight up lied. The worst part is that if she had actually made one clearly satirical video it could have been pretty funny (edit: spelling)
I think people don't even know what satire means anymore. And a lot of creators are just claiming it because they don't want to admit they did something stupid 🤷♀️
If she’d put POV:A24 BOUGHT MY MOVIE then maybe I would have believed her claim of “satire”. It still would not have been actual satire, but she would have made it clear she was playacting. As it is, she’s just a liar.
I will say, she did right by picking A24 because they are notorious for throwing money at some of the most niche indie batshit ideas. However. I do think that considering their pretty. Fantastical movies. They wouldn't just fucking make a movie about a girl getting a really old car unless the car was possessed or smthn
Plot twist: it's a ghost love story where a guy who lives nearby admires the car and sits in it to contemplate (it's unlocked because the business guys don't care) and suddenly grandma is flirting with him through the radio. There's a weird sex scene involving the steering wheel and the PRNDL, and they've gotta flee from the gas station owners in a high speed car chase (granny's got skills) that ends with granny feeling fulfilled and the whole car floating into the sky as the guy and the business owners watch in awe. The guy and the business owner kiss, the real dodge lancer was the men we kissed along the way
Before all the weird "satire" stuff, I was already confused because I don't get what about this story is worth an adaptation. Its a nice anecdote but what would be the plot? Father works at the gas station is nice to lady she eventually dies and he gets the car... I feel like you would need to manufacture a lot of plot to justify turning that into a 3 act structure. Would she be the main character? I mean maybe but that feels even less compelling because she would be conveying events that were totally disconnected from her.
I’m truly baffled as to why anyone would put this kind of effort into what amounts to like, a cute social media post or Reddit comment that would get a lot of upvotes. Every cute little story doesn’t need to be commodified and turned into a movie.
I would say that she absolutely ruined her shot at ever getting a deal with any production company after this, but that would imply she had a shot at a deal in the first place. This story makes for a decent film, if that film is a minute-long TikTok, but it would be a struggle to expand the story into even a ten minute short, much less a feature.
That little story isn’t the whole thing dude… Pinely himself said the full video was 5 minutes 😭 he only showed the start, it looks like he cut the video to sum it up but no, he played the first part in full The full video has her whole family story, she tells about how her parents met at the gas station, the car was passed onto someone else and came back to her family after they moved to a farm, she tells a bunch of short family stories in the middle, it would make a cozy family movie. Not my style, but a lot of people like it
@@NosebleeddeGroselha It's almost certainly also a lie, but sure if you believe every word of her bizarre nonsense, sure, it could make a very boring film.
Edited comment: I went and watched the original video. I still don’t see it as feature film material, but that makes it more believable to me. If anyone else wants to know the general rest of the story after he gets the car from the old woman: •Mary Kate’s mom ended up getting a job at the gas station •That’s where her mom and dad met, a ton of the family lived and worked there and her uncles met her aunts n stuff too •Old woman brings in a totaled car when her life is already in a terrible place, Grandpa trades her the Lancer for her wrecked car •Entire family goes out to live on a farm •Grandpa gets contacted by that old woman who also essentially gives it (back) to him as a dying wish •keeps it in a barn •Mary Kate grows up on the farm •When she starts learning to drive, grandpa shows her the barn and tells her all these stories •family fixes up the car together There are details in her video that make me feel like her Grandpa told it with a lot of heart. I don’t feel like that came through with her retelling (more than my recap, though) but I think it did for a lot of people who said it should be a movie. It’s a collection of stories that were impactful parts of her family members lives but not unbelievable when compared to any fiction, so I see why Pinely & the guy in the video don’t doubt it’s a true story
I honestly don’t understand why people were gassing this girl into thinking it should be a movie. It’s genuinely just a boring tale about someone’s kindness, if anything it could be a 15-20 min short film on YT. But a full movie just about someone getting a car for free is ridiculous
A24 was such a stretch. Everyone would’ve believed her if she said it was a Lifetime Original, but A24??? It’s on the Amazon Prime level of stories AT BEST
She was hoping that A24 would make a random gesture of kindess and front $1 million for a film. Then she was gonna not make the film but still make TikToks about how she made a film.
Okay, I’ll play devils advocate: Something similar to this already happened way back on tumblr not once but twice. Someone made a cute little post, it gained a lot of traction and people started saying stuff like “omg this needs to be a tv show!!”. Then somebody made a fundraiser saying they were going to make it happen (in both cases, I’m pretty sure they managed to raise a few thousand dollars though). Nothing ever came of it, whether they realised they were in over their heads or it was just an outright scam from the start. So ACTUALLY her thought process was, what if someone took this EVEN FURTHER (but she raised only a fraction of the money they did, fortunately) and it’s brilliant satire, actually (still not what that word means, I know I’m a terrible advocate)
yeah this immediately gave me flashbacks to classic tumblr scams lol. at least with tumblr it was mostly children and one of the scams wasnt the ops fault they were a child who couldnt open a paypal/bank account and was using someone elses to fundraise and the account owner just took all the money and spent it. this was absolutely not satire considering she took actual money
I thought the story was that it was going to go in the way of the person gave her grandfather a car and it helped him find the grandmother and they fell in love and all that jazz that makes a good cinematic story but it's not. It's just...a dude gave him a car and that's it. How is that movie worthy? She literally gave the whole "Movie" in that Tiktok...
i feel like she used to be a regular down to earth person and once she got a hit of that tiktok fame immediately became a pathological liar and scammer because that's what tiktok fame does to people
I wrote a whole ass comment on how she could do the whole thing as a short film with the minimal funding, but youtube updated out of the blue, erasing everything. summing it up: if your storytelling ends up good, you won’t need a production company. youtubers have been doing it for years.
yesterday i watched caroline konstnar lie about being pregnant and miscarriage to get money on her patreon and now this girl lying about being picked by a24 and both of them turning it to "haha it was satire/prank, it was never serious and you fell for it" like 😐😑😐 ok? and in both cases they're just lies, not jokes, not satirical critique of anything, not commentary on parasocial relationships
I mean TBF if there was a studio that would be likely to take a quirky story that was discovered through an online marketing story it would be A24. Messed up that crowdfunding was involved though.
Not the Dhar Mann plot ,I thought it was shortened for this video but that really is the whole idea. Why people thought it was A24 movie worthy I don’t know
I will never understand people who say "this needs to be a movie!" about a short internet video or post. Like what is the movie even going to be about? The whole story can be summed up in less than 200 words. What do people actually want from it? A 6 minute story stretched out over 2 hours? I really wish I could figure out what these people expect when they say something should be a movie.
maybe im being rude but is this story worth becoming a movie or book. like at all. it seems like it could be very easily summarized in a sentence or two. like maybe it could be a short film or like, a comic. but theres no way this could fill a 100+ book or 1 and a half movie without dragging horribly.
i think she was hoping a24 would see a lot of hype around the idea of them producing her movie and think "huh that looks like a winning move" and just do it. my theory anyways
I think the story she told would work really well as a framing device. The story would technically be about her grandpa getting the car, but in reality the plot would really be about interpersonal conflicts and character explorations. Like, her actual story would be on the summary page or the back of the DVD box, and the movie would mainly just be about the interpersonal relationships of the mechanic.
i loved when you revealed she's an artist bc the whole time i was thinking, this is such a great piece of performance art about a specific kind of internet virality - there's the simple, heartwarming moral tale; the lack of attention to detail that unravels the whole yarn when you look twice; the cashing in on online engagement through opaque or nefarious means. i think it's about the trust we put in certain types of people online (she's aspirational, she has a cool car, she's an artist following her dream), the type of stories we want to consume (wholesome, didactic, no ugly moral complexities to contend with) and the outrage we feel when those stories are revealed to be untrue. it's very easy to get scammed and emotionally manipulated, and it's natural to feel angry and ashamed when it happens to you. (i don't fully believe she was scamming people, i think the kickstarter was one of those unbelievable little details that would make you go, huh? bc like you say, it's a tiny budget and why would you need to crowdfund if you have a deal with a studio already? the fact it only raised $500 indicates to me that a lot of people went, huh?) i actually do believe what she says about being satire, bc there are hundreds of real examples you can point to of people doing this kind of thing, and she got exactly what she wanted out of it, which was an emotional reaction from the audience. it's a bizarre lie, and to find out you've taken the bait is emotionally jarring. i do believe she's been working on the story for years, but i don't think any of the rest of it is true, including the car story itself. there is artistry at work here
it could be a cool horror movie. like the old lady is haunting the car or something. or the son lied and is doing this to get close and kill them all. one of those poorly made horror movies full of cheap jump scares and fake gore that becomes a cult classic
As a fellow “car girl”, this is so disappointing. It’s already hard enough to be respected and taken seriously in that community without other women lying and tarnishing credibility
you known how that chick just faked a miscarriage? and we were all collectively like "oh no you shouldnt do that"? yeah same thing here she just didnt need to do it
dude I would be so mad if I was this late old lady. telling my son "there was this guy at the gas station that always did my tires for free. I thought that was pretty neat, so pls give him this car when I die." and then some random mfer "makes a movie" about an interaction that has nothing to do with her. like thanks, babes, people love it when you profit from their acts of kindness that aren't about you
Surely her life has had more happen in it that is more fully rounded to be made into a movie than someone gave a relative a car. Like in the same vane I have my great grandads military medal for bravery that he won taking out a machine gun nest at Passchendaele in WW1. It's now split in two because the war deeply effected him and he broke it in two and threw it away. We only have it because his wife took it out and saved it. Everyone has stories similar to that they are not movie worthy, it's only just past youtube comment worthy.
It.. maybe would have worked as a locally produced short film? But even then, I think it would need to really highlight the history and geography of the local area to make it watchable for any audience. Locals would enjoy it.
As someone whose helped with indie films. It's actually common to make your own version of a film before it being picked up. Basically to give them an outline. So her doing a gofundme and proposing it to companies is not out of the ordinary. But since she's said it was all a lie... she's just stealing money.
OMG imagine being a woman of a certain age and some rando approaches you to check your tyres and oil. And you tell them - What the heck? Get away from my car! And they go - But my grandad told me to always look after the cars of old ladies! And at that point, whilst trying for her head not to explode, the lady would scream - I am not old! And even if I were, I could still look after my bloomin car, you uncouth yob! Anyway, what an evil story you brought us, Evil Pinely 😜 Love ya ❤ 😂 xx

@NosebleeddeGroselha Yeah I just don't give a shit about any of that lol. A24 is about the ONLY ones that could somehow make that interesting.
I was literally about to say the same thing lmao
On what planet is "my grandpa was nice to an old lady so she left him her car" a film-worthy story?
That little hot wheels feature seems like the exact r right place for that story. It's a cute little five minute story and at the end she gets a toy model of her car. Then she could tell tiktok about the time she was on tv
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a short film, but a full movie?
To be fair, the whole 5 minutes video wasn't about just this, it's a start of the story, and there's like additional information idk
It might work as a series of vignettes? Like, here's what the car meant to the original owner (love story? Overcoming adversity? Freedom that a car represents? What symbolism is there in passing it on to a mechanic and not her child?), and here's a second in the future, what it means to her.

Wait that was a common thing? I only heard about the person in Brazil whose lie went on for too long
The unreasonable anger I feel whenever people do things like this, like commenting they need their own Netflix show or deserve an Oscar for the most mundane things 😭 😭 😭
"I deserve to climb Everest!" energy, you nailed it.
You deserve a Pulitzer Prize for this comment

This is almost identical to all the kickstarters on tumblr back in the early 10's to make a single panel webcomic or a one liner into an entire MMORPG or movie/book franchise and it got eaten up and OBVIOUSLY never went ANYWHERE and a bunch of people got scammed out of a bunch of money.
History will always repeat itself because we never seem to learn from it.
Oh my god this is exactly it
It always comes back to "All or nothing" doesnt it
I was getting All or Nothing and Miss Officer and Mr. Truffles vibes the entire time
We're back in the "It was a social experiment" era I see...
Goddam it not this s$@@ again
This story that could be typed out in a medium size email, it is not big enough to become a book or a movie
Hahaha
This wouldnt even be enough of a story for a Lifetime or Hallmark movie... I would love to interview the 8k people who said this should be a movie. In what world?
Plot twist: she made 8,000 fake accounts 😂
thrown in some, it's all because of God's grace amen and you got a purefilx short flim right there. ✅️
This would absolutely be a good enough movie for a Hallmark movie just by adding in some romance between the gas station granddaughter and the car giving grandson
Cause the full TikTok had a much longer story that’s pretty much a hallmark movie, Pinely showed just the start, not a summary. The OG video tells about how her parents met, other people who owned the car, family stories, road trips, a bunch of car nerd stuff… I see how it would make a movie for people who like it
@@modelmajorpita That's what I was thinking --- make it a romcom Hallmark thanksgiving film, use that as the premise + setting + plot setup. but it's not the whole film.
The only interesting take I saw on that is a comment in another thread who thought maybe vignettes of the car with each owner at a critical point in each of their lives, & it might be a nice Altman or something akin to "Boyhood" that comments on life + time.

That would be an awful film. You know what would be more interesting? A movie about a woman who pretends to sell her ultra simple small story about a car to A24, and has to keep lying and pulling scams until the lie gets exposed. >_> It was a long con all along. lol
That actually sounds like a movie I’d watch!
@@GogiRegion Yeah it sounds a bit like that film "The Informant" haha, essentially a guy just makes up so much crap that people start listening to him.
I find it funny that not one part of this actually has her relatives not even a photo of him and the car, you know the person who actually got the car, it's all about her.
That's such a good point
I think there were some pictures you could see while Pinely was scrolling through the kickstarter of possible family members. That still doesn’t prove
that's because it was always about her. It wasn't about the car, it was about HER car. HER grandfather. HER directorial debut. She's one of those people who will say anything just to be the centre of attention. Unfortunately the internet and general, and especially TikTok are a veritable petri dish for these types, as no one ever stops to think about whether what she's saying is true, because it's a fantasy story that they can pretend isn't a story.
She should have taken the hot wheels deal…that was realistically the most money she actually could have gotten out of this whole thing. Especially after all this nonsense
Then she could make a story about that whole experience!
There is zero chance she was actually getting any hot wheels deal lol
I have a friend who spent years of his real life building a whole ass car from scratch by himself, and actually did get his own custom hot wheels made. He got paid nothing and received zero cool TV appearances lol that's just not how it works. Mattel writes checks to GM and Ford, not random internet girls. They made the fuckin Barbie movie for fuck sake lolol
She doesn't know what satire is
"Satire is when the internet isn't allowed to yell at me, right?"
Nowadays, I feel people replace the word "joke" with "satire".
It's not satire, it's investment fraud
I really don't like this trend of people misusing satire to deflect criticism or as a shield for their dishonesty. It's always been and hopefully will continue to be despite this trend, a powerful tool for critique and social commentary. I feel like she might've just been embarassed that people found out. I think if she was just honest that she really wanted this to the point she lied, people would have at least respected it. But now shes just blending dishonesty with this "satire claim" that no one knows even there even is some truth to the original story.
Makes sense since she can't tell what is and isn't an engaging story.
it's the aggressively affected 'coming of age cowgirl' outfit in every vid for me
Lesbian Cowgirl for added intensity. 😂
TikTok’s real weirdest lie is when I pretended to invent the galvanized steel beam.
AND ECO FRIENDLY WOOD VENEERS?!?!
I invented the question mark
I'm actually one of 1 Billion children, our aunt gave us some screws, also thanks for the galvanized square steel and wood veneer 😊
@@heartsforbrenda my worlds are colliding and I have mixed feelings abt it /j
Is it square or circle beams?
Honestly, she could've just tried making the story an independent short film that was crowdfunded. Or work with her dad on writing a short memoir. It's a nice little story that could make a heartwarming little memoir or short film. Instead, she did this elaborate publicity stunt for what? She just tainted a nice little story with a massive lie like ???
Also, "I did it for satire" is just the excuse people now use for lying about something. The word "satire" has lost all meaning on the internet.
(Edit: forgot some words lol)
Satire has to be one of the English language’s most misunderstood words 😂
I really can't get over just how boring this movie would be!! Prefectly fine story, but it seems like I just heard all of it
Yeah, the whole story could be summed up in a sentence or two.
“My dad owned a gas station where he gave special treatment to elderly women, and one leaves him her car in her will as thanks”
Voila, there is your whole plot
It's actually a pretty shit story.
Petit bourgeois business owners do their literal job for a while, then are unnecessarily "rewarded" with something they don't need, do not use, and is left sitting.
This woman is utterly disgusting.
@LORDOFGLOOP If the story is true, it seems like they were very kind to a lady that probably didn't have many people in her life. There is literally nothing wrong with that. Not every fucking situation has to lap back around to "capitalism bad" FFS. 🙄
@@thecolorjune😊
@@LORDOFGLOOPoooh! someone just read their first bit of theory! and they’re using it to be cross with a cute story! i’m guessing… 15? 17 tops?
If going to film school taught me anything it’s that everyone thinks they can be a screenwriter but very few of them actually know or care about how the film industry works, I think this is a pretty good example of that
Yeah, among other things. Imagine thinking that owning a car that was given to your grandfather somehow qualifies you to write and direct a film? Like that doesn't even make sense.
it's the typewriter in the tree that really did it for me
If working at a theatre for five years has taught me anything, it's that even people who can write books can't write plays/screenplays
Ima be honest, after all her ridiculous lies I don't believe a god damn word she says lol. Even the story of the car is probably bullshit imo
That's the problem with telling one huge lie it makes people doubt everything else lol
It’s the fakest sounding story I’ve ever heard
My favorite part is when she says the son came to her father and said, "you were nice to my mom. She has passed and wanted you to have her car" and her father responds with "wait, aren't you her son?"
It's like, yeah dipshit, I literally just called her my mom. Astute observation.
the way she talks is so boring
Who remembers some random gas station employee that worked on their car years ago I can't even remember people I saw yesterday
Imagine a 90 minute movie about tuning up old women's cars. Gripping stuff man
love ur pfp
To be fair, there was a movie a little like that about the relationship between an elderly white woman and her black driver. Of course, it was about their relationship spanning many years including a speech given by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I guarantee on my LIFE this movie will NEVER be a thing lol
Cause where is the plot 😭😭
@maxwellversed right haha I mean I'm sure someone could take that story and flesh it out into something good, it'd need to be pretty character driven but it could work. I just have ZERO faith in this girl pulling it off lmao
Then the next controversy will be that she's in Kickstarter fraud lol
I really doubt that, haven't you heard about the low budget movies that get announced and are based on trends or Internet lies??
For example Momo, The Wonka Glasgow scam, Public domain characters etc.
This could really become a real thing unfortunately.
right? This is almost identical to all the kickstarters on tumblr back in the early 10's to make a single panel webcomic or a one liner into an entire MMORPG or movie/book franchise and it got eaten up and OBVIOUSLY never went ANYWHERE and a bunch of people got scammed out of a bunch of money.
History will always repeat itself because we never seem to learn from it.
As a screen writing major I must say, there is not enough here for a full movie. Like basically her grandparents treated people nicely and then got a car. So they did something good got rewarded and that is it. There is no conflict, no real obstacles, almost no info on any of the characters, and almost no plot. Like was the gas station struggling and the family was arguing over how the gas station should run? How does everyone in the family relate to each other? Did he develop a closer friendship with any of the women that gave him a new perspective on life? Is there something special about this car other than it looks cool which can lead to more drama. There is nothing here that says this is fit to be adapted for a feature film. It could be a short story, or maybe a short film but that's it, but not all interesting family stories make good movies.
yeah, i think it could be nice as inspiration but it needs way more to work as a story for a movie
No offence to your major but it really doesnt take a professional to know that she doesnt have enough story to make a movie.
@@Dhdjksjsnsnsnnsnsna good point. I completely agree hahahha.
I'm a writer with some moderate success (nothing major but enough to live on), and I see this a lot where people just throw around the word "copyright" and think it's magic. It can vary depending where you are, but ultimately copyright is just the recognized ownership and right to replicate your original work. You technically don't need to register with the WGA (you can use "The Poor Man's Copyright"; mail it to yourself as register post and never open it). The important point to remember is you can't copyright an idea, just the execution of the idea. So the anecdote about her car can't be copyrighted. Her script can be, and so can the story she structures around it and major plot points, sure, but not the story she told in her TikTok. That's just an anecdote.
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she meant to say the script was copyrighted, but even then it's a little silly to go online and tell a story you think is so award winning or is going to get the attention of A24 (especially given the films the tend to go for). There's an interesting story in there, sure; maybe it's "her" going on a road trip to return the car to the son at her dying grandfather's request, and she learns about the good and ill in people across America. It's a good prompt, but hardly a million dollar deal. Also, if she was attached to NBC and Hallmark like she said, why sully those deals by having a stink like "yeah, I would have preferred A24"? It's like telling your boyfriend "you're my placeholder". Even if it's true, there's tact.
Sth that wouldn't be out of place in a Dhar Mann video segment being championed like this was the creative screenplay Hollywood's missing is hilarious. This would be a picture book at best.
Ah yes the classic "nah bro it was satire" when you straight up lied. The worst part is that if she had actually made one clearly satirical video it could have been pretty funny
(edit: spelling)
the money she collected from people was also satire, obviously
It's the Notes Apology of this era
I think people don't even know what satire means anymore. And a lot of creators are just claiming it because they don't want to admit they did something stupid 🤷♀️
If she’d put POV:A24 BOUGHT MY MOVIE then maybe I would have believed her claim of “satire”. It still would not have been actual satire, but she would have made it clear she was playacting. As it is, she’s just a liar.
I will say, she did right by picking A24 because they are notorious for throwing money at some of the most niche indie batshit ideas. However. I do think that considering their pretty. Fantastical movies. They wouldn't just fucking make a movie about a girl getting a really old car unless the car was possessed or smthn
Plot twist: it's a ghost love story where a guy who lives nearby admires the car and sits in it to contemplate (it's unlocked because the business guys don't care) and suddenly grandma is flirting with him through the radio. There's a weird sex scene involving the steering wheel and the PRNDL, and they've gotta flee from the gas station owners in a high speed car chase (granny's got skills) that ends with granny feeling fulfilled and the whole car floating into the sky as the guy and the business owners watch in awe. The guy and the business owner kiss, the real dodge lancer was the men we kissed along the way
fr everything a24 comes out with is a fever dream but always fun to watch
That was the first thing that smelled to me bc A24 would absolutely not touch this shite unless they did the possessed killer car wheel sequel.
Or Blumhouse.
@@molluscumlore"the real dodge lancer was the men we kissed along the way" made me snort laugh 😆
Before all the weird "satire" stuff, I was already confused because I don't get what about this story is worth an adaptation. Its a nice anecdote but what would be the plot? Father works at the gas station is nice to lady she eventually dies and he gets the car... I feel like you would need to manufacture a lot of plot to justify turning that into a 3 act structure.
Would she be the main character? I mean maybe but that feels even less compelling because she would be conveying events that were totally disconnected from her.
Omg it's the cool guy with the easter eggs and glitches
Don't show her the r/thathappened subreddit. She'd be starting 70 kickstarters for films every day.
I’m truly baffled as to why anyone would put this kind of effort into what amounts to like, a cute social media post or Reddit comment that would get a lot of upvotes. Every cute little story doesn’t need to be commodified and turned into a movie.
A biopic about someone's car the way that Mary Kate described it is the least sounding A24 thing ever.
I could see a24 now doing a movie on her doing this called "the liar" and it's still the same poster of her in the car.
To think, all this time, we could have just been talking about pencils...
Pinely needs to get the lead out & stop giving us shavings.
I would say that she absolutely ruined her shot at ever getting a deal with any production company after this, but that would imply she had a shot at a deal in the first place. This story makes for a decent film, if that film is a minute-long TikTok, but it would be a struggle to expand the story into even a ten minute short, much less a feature.
Well tbf now she could have a Netflix series on how she scammed her way via this lie into viral infamy & a Netflix series
People donate money to the most obscure shit .. im only like 3 minutes in but like how is this 30 second story supposed to be a whole ass movie?
Right?! It's a party anecdote at best.
That little story isn’t the whole thing dude… Pinely himself said the full video was 5 minutes 😭
he only showed the start, it looks like he cut the video to sum it up but no, he played the first part in full
The full video has her whole family story, she tells about how her parents met at the gas station, the car was passed onto someone else and came back to her family after they moved to a farm, she tells a bunch of short family stories in the middle, it would make a cozy family movie. Not my style, but a lot of people like it
@@NosebleeddeGroselha It's almost certainly also a lie, but sure if you believe every word of her bizarre nonsense, sure, it could make a very boring film.
Edited comment: I went and watched the original video. I still don’t see it as feature film material, but that makes it more believable to me.
If anyone else wants to know the general rest of the story after he gets the car from the old woman:
•Mary Kate’s mom ended up getting a job at the gas station
•That’s where her mom and dad met, a ton of the family lived and worked there and her uncles met her aunts n stuff too
•Old woman brings in a totaled car when her life is already in a terrible place, Grandpa trades her the Lancer for her wrecked car
•Entire family goes out to live on a farm
•Grandpa gets contacted by that old woman who also essentially gives it (back) to him as a dying wish
•keeps it in a barn
•Mary Kate grows up on the farm
•When she starts learning to drive, grandpa shows her the barn and tells her all these stories
•family fixes up the car together
There are details in her video that make me feel like her Grandpa told it with a lot of heart. I don’t feel like that came through with her retelling (more than my recap, though) but I think it did for a lot of people who said it should be a movie.
It’s a collection of stories that were impactful parts of her family members lives but not unbelievable when compared to any fiction, so I see why Pinely & the guy in the video don’t doubt it’s a true story
Even with the additional things. It just feels like a nice family story to tell people who ask about the cool car lol
Yeah I've experienced enough Tumblr to know how these things go.. these kinds of projects end up being all or nothing ;)
Yeah, it's like a really fast scam....like a "dash-con"
not the all or nothing reference help 😭
That guy looks like hes cosplaying Shane Madej
OH MY GOD HE DOES
I legitimately thought he was Shane when I first saw the thumbnail. 😂
Johnny Johnny was telling straight satire
what do writers use to write? PENCILS. is this a hidden easter egg? is pencilgeddon among us?
Haha hey I'm the guy who made that TikTok! This video is great!
Nice glasses
Nah bro this is weird, it doesn't need to be a movie it would be so boring and she would definitely insist on writing starring and directing
if someone says something they do is satire but you have no idea what it is satire of, you could joke they are making a satire of themselves
I honestly don’t understand why people were gassing this girl into thinking it should be a movie. It’s genuinely just a boring tale about someone’s kindness, if anything it could be a 15-20 min short film on YT. But a full movie just about someone getting a car for free is ridiculous
I think people werent necessarily gassing her. I think she took hyperbolic nice comments too literally.
A24 was such a stretch. Everyone would’ve believed her if she said it was a Lifetime Original, but A24??? It’s on the Amazon Prime level of stories AT BEST
literally what was the plan 😭😭 how on earth would anyone believe her
She was hoping that A24 would make a random gesture of kindess and front $1 million for a film. Then she was gonna not make the film but still make TikToks about how she made a film.
Okay, I’ll play devils advocate: Something similar to this already happened way back on tumblr not once but twice. Someone made a cute little post, it gained a lot of traction and people started saying stuff like “omg this needs to be a tv show!!”. Then somebody made a fundraiser saying they were going to make it happen (in both cases, I’m pretty sure they managed to raise a few thousand dollars though). Nothing ever came of it, whether they realised they were in over their heads or it was just an outright scam from the start. So ACTUALLY her thought process was, what if someone took this EVEN FURTHER (but she raised only a fraction of the money they did, fortunately) and it’s brilliant satire, actually (still not what that word means, I know I’m a terrible advocate)
yeah this immediately gave me flashbacks to classic tumblr scams lol. at least with tumblr it was mostly children and one of the scams wasnt the ops fault they were a child who couldnt open a paypal/bank account and was using someone elses to fundraise and the account owner just took all the money and spent it. this was absolutely not satire considering she took actual money
"it's satire you guys!" is just the new "it's just a joke bro!"
That's what people say when they don't want to own the cringy content they uploaded. "Satire" is losing its meaning now.
how is this even "a good story", she just inherited a car from an old lady what's to make into a movie here lol
losing it at the “indie movie laughing” impression
This seems more like a Hallmark movie then something a24 would put out to me.
I thought the story was that it was going to go in the way of the person gave her grandfather a car and it helped him find the grandmother and they fell in love and all that jazz that makes a good cinematic story but it's not. It's just...a dude gave him a car and that's it. How is that movie worthy? She literally gave the whole "Movie" in that Tiktok...
That's not satire, it's called delusion.
i feel like she used to be a regular down to earth person and once she got a hit of that tiktok fame immediately became a pathological liar and scammer because that's what tiktok fame does to people
I wrote a whole ass comment on how she could do the whole thing as a short film with the minimal funding, but youtube updated out of the blue, erasing everything. summing it up: if your storytelling ends up good, you won’t need a production company. youtubers have been doing it for years.
My opinion is she did this whole thing intentionally to drive traffic to her TH-cam page, to increase engagement with her music.
“I was just doing satire”… No honey, you weren’t.
Defund people saying "it's satire"
Why would A24, the studio known for indy films, experimental dramas and thrillers, and horror movies make a movie about a car?
yesterday i watched caroline konstnar lie about being pregnant and miscarriage to get money on her patreon and now this girl lying about being picked by a24 and both of them turning it to "haha it was satire/prank, it was never serious and you fell for it" like 😐😑😐 ok? and in both cases they're just lies, not jokes, not satirical critique of anything, not commentary on parasocial relationships
Damn pinely. Stop stealing my houses for props. Where I'm gonna live now
Plenty of Amazon boxes out there. 😅
How do you make a full length movie about a story you can tell in less than 5 minutes?
I mean TBF if there was a studio that would be likely to take a quirky story that was discovered through an online marketing story it would be A24. Messed up that crowdfunding was involved though.
Not the Dhar Mann plot ,I thought it was shortened for this video but that really is the whole idea.
Why people thought it was A24 movie worthy I don’t know
I will never understand people who say "this needs to be a movie!" about a short internet video or post. Like what is the movie even going to be about? The whole story can be summed up in less than 200 words. What do people actually want from it? A 6 minute story stretched out over 2 hours? I really wish I could figure out what these people expect when they say something should be a movie.
people just don’t know what the word satire means anymore 😭
maybe im being rude but is this story worth becoming a movie or book. like at all. it seems like it could be very easily summarized in a sentence or two. like maybe it could be a short film or like, a comic. but theres no way this could fill a 100+ book or 1 and a half movie without dragging horribly.
tbh the fact the story can be told in a 20-30sec tik tok means it probably shouldn't be a movie.
i think she was hoping a24 would see a lot of hype around the idea of them producing her movie and think "huh that looks like a winning move" and just do it. my theory anyways
i don't think people on tiktok know how storytelling works
Her Grandfather left her so many priceless traits and it looks like they went right over her head.
That's James Somerton in a wig
Lmao 😂 underrated comment in here.
I think the story she told would work really well as a framing device. The story would technically be about her grandpa getting the car, but in reality the plot would really be about interpersonal conflicts and character explorations. Like, her actual story would be on the summary page or the back of the DVD box, and the movie would mainly just be about the interpersonal relationships of the mechanic.
It'd be funny if Evil Pinely wasn't actually Pinely's twin and it was just a slightly unhinged version of Pinely
i loved when you revealed she's an artist bc the whole time i was thinking, this is such a great piece of performance art about a specific kind of internet virality - there's the simple, heartwarming moral tale; the lack of attention to detail that unravels the whole yarn when you look twice; the cashing in on online engagement through opaque or nefarious means. i think it's about the trust we put in certain types of people online (she's aspirational, she has a cool car, she's an artist following her dream), the type of stories we want to consume (wholesome, didactic, no ugly moral complexities to contend with) and the outrage we feel when those stories are revealed to be untrue. it's very easy to get scammed and emotionally manipulated, and it's natural to feel angry and ashamed when it happens to you. (i don't fully believe she was scamming people, i think the kickstarter was one of those unbelievable little details that would make you go, huh? bc like you say, it's a tiny budget and why would you need to crowdfund if you have a deal with a studio already? the fact it only raised $500 indicates to me that a lot of people went, huh?) i actually do believe what she says about being satire, bc there are hundreds of real examples you can point to of people doing this kind of thing, and she got exactly what she wanted out of it, which was an emotional reaction from the audience. it's a bizarre lie, and to find out you've taken the bait is emotionally jarring. i do believe she's been working on the story for years, but i don't think any of the rest of it is true, including the car story itself. there is artistry at work here
Her dad helped old ladies with their cars at the gas station, so one of them left him a retro car he didn't need. What a story, Mark!
I doubt A24 will take this project without a hellish dark and insane plot twist in the end. 💀
For a second I thought the mustache dude was Noah Sampson and it triggered my "fight and fight" response
One time my Uncle gave me a VW Jetta so I'm thinking about making an HBO Series about it.
Hallmark is the PERFECT production company for this.
I feel like a short film on TH-cam would’ve made far more sense
It's a neat enough story but there's nowhere near enough to it for a worthwhile full length feature film lol
it could be a cool horror movie. like the old lady is haunting the car or something. or the son lied and is doing this to get close and kill them all. one of those poorly made horror movies full of cheap jump scares and fake gore that becomes a cult classic
As a fellow “car girl”, this is so disappointing. It’s already hard enough to be respected and taken seriously in that community without other women lying and tarnishing credibility
For such an evil guy you sure are uploading a lot
you known how that chick just faked a miscarriage? and we were all collectively like "oh no you shouldnt do that"? yeah same thing here she just didnt need to do it
dude I would be so mad if I was this late old lady. telling my son "there was this guy at the gas station that always did my tires for free. I thought that was pretty neat, so pls give him this car when I die." and then some random mfer "makes a movie" about an interaction that has nothing to do with her. like thanks, babes, people love it when you profit from their acts of kindness that aren't about you
Surely her life has had more happen in it that is more fully rounded to be made into a movie than someone gave a relative a car.
Like in the same vane I have my great grandads military medal for bravery that he won taking out a machine gun nest at Passchendaele in WW1. It's now split in two because the war deeply effected him and he broke it in two and threw it away. We only have it because his wife took it out and saved it. Everyone has stories similar to that they are not movie worthy, it's only just past youtube comment worthy.
It.. maybe would have worked as a locally produced short film? But even then, I think it would need to really highlight the history and geography of the local area to make it watchable for any audience. Locals would enjoy it.
As someone whose helped with indie films. It's actually common to make your own version of a film before it being picked up.
Basically to give them an outline. So her doing a gofundme and proposing it to companies is not out of the ordinary.
But since she's said it was all a lie... she's just stealing money.
Weirdos are killing the word "satire".
Why would she be anything more than a writer on the film? The director? Nah, that doesn’t make sense.
no one knows what “satire” means anymore 🤦🏻♀️ but also like… why would that story interest anyone to make it into a feature film???? huh??
I mean does she know A24's studio history even? "Heartwarming" is recent + rare.
OMG imagine being a woman of a certain age and some rando approaches you to check your tyres and oil. And you tell them - What the heck? Get away from my car! And they go - But my grandad told me to always look after the cars of old ladies! And at that point, whilst trying for her head not to explode, the lady would scream - I am not old! And even if I were, I could still look after my bloomin car, you uncouth yob!
Anyway, what an evil story you brought us, Evil Pinely 😜 Love ya ❤ 😂 xx
