Caltrops - Nanaca Crash





	[quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]I have to go with Fussbett on this one, and also on successfully enjoying Star Wars for more than merely nostalgic reasons. But Lucas and I have a lot in common except where finances are concerned. For starters, I have a pet theory that Star Wars is not in fact aping Hidden Fortress (to which I find it bears little resemblance) but actually Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai trilogy. Nobody likes this pet theory. :( Except George Lucas.[/quote]About 500 websites including <a href="http://www.orbitalreviews.com/pages/full/HiddenFortress.shtml" target ="new">this one</a> says you're wrong. To wit: [quote]When elaborating on the issue of what elements Lucas took from his movie, Kurosawa said, "I asked [Lucas] which aspects were inspired by my film. He said that he used the first scene, where Kamatari and Chiaki were walking. There was the scene where the small robot and the gold one were walking and fighting. It was very similar. The last scene was also similar."[/quote]So, I guess I'm left to decide whether to believe you or Kurosawa. Tough one! Additionally, it would seem to me that, after reading several plot synopses of the Samurai Trilogy such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001UZZT0/qid=/sr=/ref=cm_lm_asin/104-6769110-5381511?v=glance" target="new">these</a>, it's more similar to the new trilogy, if any. Which is fine if that's what you actually meant, except about 500 websites (many that overlap the aforementioned 500) agree with you (and most probably thought of it before you did).[/quote] God, shut up already. You suck so much cock. You haven't even seen the Samurai Trilogy - or Hidden Fortress - so why are you even fucking talking about this? I mean you're relying on Google and George Lucas, history's two most famous unreliable witnesses, and you're arguing with me, who has not only seen the (original) Star Wars trilogy a million times, I've seen the Samurai trilogy a million <i>billion</i> times. I've seen Return Of The Jedi and Duel At Ganryu Island more times than Google ever has! I say there are loads of similiarities and I even have a little character-to-character map I can make for someone - but not you. Never you. Because you're a pissy little unbearable brat who is rapidly becoming the Barborito of Caltrops again. Except instead of arguing about guns with Lizard King and EL Koba, you're arguing about SAMURAI MOVIES with ZSENI. FUCK YOU. I'm audi on this fancy-pants debate. I have a expansion pack to finish coding.[/quote]
