riddler 0 #11 September 4, 2012 Quote a tandem hop&pop Jet Li is the tandem "master" if you will. But it's more like a tether than a tandem - did you see how much separation there was between the two people?

wolfriverjoe 1,366 #14 September 4, 2012 QuoteNo, no, no. Don't try to shift the issue to me. You're the one who said "original.". Which one did you mean? You are far more knowledgeable about films than most of us. For many of us, the 2010 was the original. Which film do you consider the original? I'm not being snarky (at least not much), I'm genuinely curious which one you mean. The only two I can find are the two he linked. Both of which look as bad as the 2010 one."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

quade 3 #21 September 5, 2012 Quote Which film do you consider the original? Generally speaking, I'll consider the "original" film to be the one that occurs first in history with the title, unless it's not. See, that's what I was trying to find out from ryoder. Side note though, the "original" film may have a completely different title than the one most people assume is the "original." For instance, the original "Fist Full of Dollars" was called "Yojimbo." And I guess at this point I should also point out that ryoder's favorite film "The Big Lebowski" also isn't exactly original; it's based on the Humphrey Bogart film, "The Big Sleep."quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #23 September 5, 2012 QuoteOr "Battle Royale" vs "Hunger Games" I'm giving that an official 50/50. "Battle Royale" is an absolute influence when it comes to the combat section, but that's only half of what "Hunger Games" was about. The other half of influence comes from the generic concept of "reality" TV such as, "American Idol" or "Dancing with the Stars." If you think about it, it's a very weird combination. What I don't get is why Suzanne Collins admits to the "reality" TV influence, but still won't admit to the "Battle Royale" influence. Weird.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because then she'd have to admit she had nothing original in the film, just took two concept, combined them and made a movie about it.Your rights end where my feelings begin.
