Hi, My name is Anthony Hopkins. I like to rip off other movies.


This is all I have to say:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371257/

Yeah, there are some difference, but the main part of the storyline is so similar it's absurd.

Um, have you even seen Stay? Have you seen, oh, I don't know, Jacob's Ladder? The I Inside? November? They're all the same basic storyline, but Jacob's Ladder was the first, as far as I know. Anyway, I don't think Slipstream has the same conclusion. If you stay until the credits are done rolling, it's apparent that Anthony Hopkins is NOT dead.

reply

Stay never had a writer for the main character---i haven't seen Slipstream, but Stay was good

reply

Jacob's Ladder is based on a short story by Ambrose Bierce called The Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge which was adapted by Jaques Tourneur for season 5 of the Twilight Zone.... Just to add...

A dog has four legs, a chair has four legs, therefore a dog is a chair.

reply

A cat has four legs, therefore a dog is a cat. Two men walking together has four legs, so two men is a dog, a cat and a chair. Therefore dog, cats, chair, and two men are one and the same. Hence, we can talk all day talking about chairs. What I am sure about is a Chair sounds like Cher. And both Sonny and Cher has four legs that have gotten divorced. So a chair cannot stand on two legs, except two person and a Sonny and a Cher, which has can and did divorce each other. Half a Cat and half a dog therefore can divorce each other. Hopefully guts won't spill, but it did with Sonny and Cher's divorce. LOL.

Wow! That was so Slipstreamish!!! LOL!!!!

Hi, my name is Stupidfaces101, I am a trying to come off as artistically appreciative but in reality I am just another run-of-the-mill homophobe.

People who throw around the word 'homophobe' are usually realityphobes.

Stay was a much better movie.

reply

Seriously?

reply

Hopkins clearly used the influence of some great movies, namely mostly anything by David Lynch.
Other similer movies could be stuff like The Machinist etc, but to say this is a copy of anything is purile and untrue.

reply

Americans say rip off, French say borrow. Big difference. Why not steal from the greats?
