I think that's the most civil dialogue OB1 and ABF have ever exchanged in their lives.
Oh wait, it's fiction! :D
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 8th February 2005
Yeah, but it's all going downhill at the end. What you don't see is OB1 becoming angry when ABF refuses to help him get a home loan and then ABF says something about books being better than home loans, then things get messy...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 8th February 2005
Haha!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 12th February 2005
I wonder why I keep using zombies so many times in my comics...and using dreams to explain plot holes...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 12th February 2005
Because you have learned from the best!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 12th February 2005
You know it!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 13th February 2005
And by that I mean that you like to copy the best!
:p
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - A Black Falcon - 13th February 2005
Nothing wrong with that!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 13th February 2005
Of course there isn't. That's how some of the best shows are made, by copying other people or parodying them.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 13th February 2005
... yeah...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
If no one copied anyone else we'd never have gotten Star Wars or Indiana Jones!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
Correction: Sky Captain is a copy of old serials, right down to the letter. Star Wars and Indiana Jones were inspired by old serials, among many other things. You see Sky Captain and instantly think Flash Gordon, but you don't instantly think The Hidden Fortress when you see Star Wars, or Gunga Din when you see Indiana Jones (well, maybe you do if you like old movies). Star Wars in particular was inspired by so many different things yet still retained a very unique identity of its own.
Sky Captain is great, though! Awesome movie.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
They might not have done it down to the letter, but to an extent they copied the styles of previous shows.
Quote:Sky Captain is great, though! Awesome movie.
Yes, it is. I wish companies would make more movies with this kind of style, not a lot though, just a few more.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
You ever seen Flash Gordon and the other scifi serials Sky Captain copied? It's an almost exact replica, in a good way.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
I haven't really seen many shows like that, but I know what they're like.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
That is so ABF.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
What? I'm not old like you are, so I wasn't around when shows like that were on TV. :p
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
That's right, I forgot that you're only 14 or something.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
:shake:
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
15, whatever! It's all the same to an old-timer like myself!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
OB1...I'm 35.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
I'm 72.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
See? We can't all have lived back in the time of witches, aka where you used to live!!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
I'm actually 91.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
There you go.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
112.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - A Black Falcon - 14th February 2005
Sky Captain was a pretty good movie... I liked it. I haven't seen Flash Gordon, but I've seen a little old sci-fi, as well as some other modern stuff that uses that 20's or 30's style, and have read some sci-fi either from that period or in parody of that stuff so I know the style. Sky Captain definitely fit it perfectly... well except that unlike that old stuff Sky Captain has good special effects. Isn't that kind of sci-fi film supposed to have visible wires and stuff? :)

I've seen some old scifi movies on MST3K.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
Yeah... those are bad ones, though.
You should see The American Astronaut, ASAP.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - A Black Falcon - 14th February 2005
Metropolis, of course, should be seen, being the first great sci-fi film... I've seen part of it.

It's not even out on DVD yet!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
Huh, whaddya know. I saw it at my college theater almost two years ago. How odd. It's out next week though.
And yes Metropolis is the first (and one of the best) scifi movies ever. Everything from Star Wars to Bladerunner took something from that film, much like all of Friz Lang's work.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
I need to get Metropolis on DVD sometime.
...
Actually, I do have Metropolis on DVD...except it's the anime that was released a few years ago.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - A Black Falcon - 14th February 2005
The anime 'Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis is recent (mid/late '90s), but was quite good I thought... and obviously strongly influenced by Metropolis, by Fritz Lang. :)
Have you seen Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis, GR?
I don't need to buy either one, the movie rental places in town have both of them...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
I haven't seen it before. I'll look around next time I'm in town and see if I can find a copy anywhere.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
You just said that you have the anime...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - A Black Falcon - 14th February 2005
Yeah... so you have it but haven't watched it? After criticizing me for having and not watching 2001? Pretty similar thing there, GR... maybe not quite the same as not watching 2001, but similar. :)
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
I've got at least 50 dvds that I haven't watched yet.
But out of 700 or so that's not too bad. :D
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
Wait...what? Are you talking about the anime or the live-action movie? Because I have the anime AND I've seen it, but I don't have the live-action movie nor have I ever seen it.
Okay, I think we're all clear now...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
..
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
I can't get any clearer than that, OB1!!
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
...
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
I've seen the anime, that's what I'm trying to say. M'kay?
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - OB1 - 14th February 2005
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
You're not making any sense, OB1.

Maybe he's lost his voice
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - Great Rumbler - 14th February 2005
No, he was talking just a minute ago.
110 - Your Zombie Wants 6.9% Over APR - deanna - 14th February 2005
Well, you have to cherish things while you have them...
