This was your chance to blow me away, not RUN away.
[quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]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?[/quote]I <I>have</I> seen <I>Hidden Fortress</I> and read quite a bit about Musashi, but that's fairly irrelevant. Why? Because George Lucas has seen it, and he has said only about infinity times that he lifted scenes directly from it for <I>A New Hope</I>. As for the Samurai Trilogy: were those linked synopses wrong? Show me the right ones and mind you, I've read about a dozen seperate ones. None of which are particularly different from the others, nor give me any indication you're remotely correct. [quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]I mean you're relying on Google and George Lucas, history's two most famous unreliable witnesses,[/quote]I didn't read about the Samurai Trilogy from google.com. I read about it on amazon, the NYtimes, Barnes&Noble, and several sites penned by far freakier Japanophiles than you could ever be. Oh yeah, and they were all <I>dudes</I>, which makes their opinions about 2 zillion times more believable than yours. Meanwhile, I'm going to pause again and marvel at how you just proferred your bullshit theory on Lucas' inspiration, citing him as a source for it, then somehow <I>dismissed his own words</I> out of hand <I>because he's an unreliable source</I>. [quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]and you're arguing with me, who has not only seen the (original) Star Wars trilogy a million times,[/quote]Keep watching, you've almost seen them as many times as I have. Oh wow, are you really trying to throw down geek cred on me over Star Wars? You already admitted you were arranging gala tea parties with your Barbies and freaking out over the notion of anything...(shudder)...<I>untoward</I> happening to them, much to your playmate's chagrin. Don't even tell me you sunk countless wasted hours of your childhood obsessing over these films. First, you're too young; second, you're too female. [quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]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.[/quote]Or anyone. You should show George Lucas if you get the chance, since even <I>he</I> doesn't know he lifted chapter and verse from Inagaki's films. Anyway, I'm with the majority who thinks Lucas parsed elements from the Samurai Trilogy for the new SW trilogy. He's proven to be a huge fan of Japanese films and has never hesitated to borrow from them, or other films. [quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]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.[/quote]Is that supposed to fucking <I>daunt</I> me? There's nothing that's out of bounds for me or anyone to step to you about, because there's nothing you aren't completely <I>full of shit</I> about. [quote name="Electronic Arts & Zseni"]FUCK YOU. I'm audi on this fancy-pants debate. I have a expansion pack to finish coding.[/quote]Haha, and <I>I</I> sound like Barborito. [/quote]
