Quoted from rendevous I've been here. And there. I've done that. I've driven them. I did that. Oh yeah, I've met her. And him. I think this. And that. But no, not that. Have I told you about me? R

That sounds like the start of a great song, bro.

Quoted from Breanne Mattson I love the way the writer demands names of films with similarities to his script when he himself gave one of those "popular movie meets some other popular movie" pitches.

Actually, to be fair, that's typically the way producers pitch projects to potential investors.

That's not really what I was referring to. I was pointing out the inconsistency of naming movies similar to yours then challenging someone else to do the same as though it's impossible.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, "popular movie meets other popular movie" and "naming movies similar to yours" are not the same thing.

But, still, the writer is clearly off their rocker.

When someone uses an existing film to describe their script, yes they're saying their story has at least some kind of similarity to it. Similarities may be slight, but that is what they're saying. They're mentioning that movie precisely because they see some kind of similarity.

The film Open Water was described as Jaws meets The Blair Witch Project. It certainly has similarities to both of those films. Saying a script has similarities to a film isn't the same thing as saying the story is exactly like that film. Nor is it the same thing as saying the script lacks originality.

The writer in the article challenged the producer to name films that had any similarity whatsoever to his script, whether in themes, concepts, anything in any scenes, anything at all. It's inconceivable that there wouldn't be even the slightest similarity to the movies he named in his "this meets that" pitch.

I'm surprised I have to explain this. I looked up some of your past posts and you strike me as someone who likes to debate. I doubt there's anything I can say to sway you. We'll just have to disagree on this one.

Well, yeah, when you take things out of context, a bird is a mammal.

Jees,

Will you two just get a room?
