Hi,
It's a very old theme, quite popular, and intended for the young.
Everyone goes thorugh this, discovering their gem is not the only one in the store.
Are you implying that "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone" are the same movie?
nt
Yeah, I think the plots are fairly similar. Some of the scenes seam ripped off.P
The first Harry Potter novel was written before 'Star Woes' Ep. I was released, so that would suggest Lucas ripping off, ...excuse me, "borrowing" from Rowling, wouldn't it? Not that this would be any surprise.AuPh
We talkin about the original SW. The one written in 1975. The only good one. Not that recent junk.P
The irony is that Episode I, with a few minor adjustments, could almost fit the discription in your post above. Also, I don't see the overall similarity between Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and the original Star Wars that you're suggesting (i.e., MORE similarities might be found between Episode IV and the original Jason and the Argonauts, if you think about it!). Again I ask you, who has ripped off whom?BTW, subjectively speaking, the second of the original three (Episode V) is excellent and seems better directed than the first (Episode IV). In other words, I'm of the opinion that the original Star Wars ISN'T "the only good one."
Respectfully,
AuPh

...for USC skunking the lowly Bruins. At least when Ohio State's quarterback gets a DUI, he's suspended from playing.Last month I was in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo and spotted a sex/gentlemen's club named "Club UCLA" in big neon letters. I didn't get a chance to see if my alumni card qualifies me for discounts.
lol, even with a discount, I'll bet that club would cost more than a new set of Krell monoblocks!Yup, I was pleasantly surprised with that game, it salvaged an awfully poor season. Of course, losing 3 conference games by a total of 10 points, 2 in the closing seconds, didn't help. Oh well, almost only works with horse shoes and hand grenades.
Ninety three million dollars in one weekend is hardly trivial! If I could find a way to sell the same plot to kids every five to ten years, I'd be stinkin' rich. Then I'd be on the phone with my credit card, shouting: "Guten tag, Herr Burmester"!
