Yeah, well, they call anything that smacks of pulp novel adventure a rip off of Indiana Jones, ignoring the B movies, serials, comic books, and pulp novels that inspired it. Every generation thinks it is the first to discover something and slowly learn, as they mature, that someone else beat them to the punch a long time ago. In my day, the internet was called a telephone and you had to literally "dial" it. A cell phone was a pay phone mounted in a jail cell. And we did walk to school uphill, both ways (through 10 feet of snow) because the world was bowl shaped back then, with your house at one end and school at the other. And we liked it that way! Why these young whipper-snappers, with their hippety-hop music and their i-frogs, and.communists..Area 51..Masons.
ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.

but how does this plot have ANYTHING to do with hunger games plot? because they are young? everything else seems very different
are we saying kids today are that stupid to confuse the two? I can believe that I suppose. pretty soon the government will have to take care of these new idiots because they can't do anything for themselves. maybe we should put them in domes near Washington DC

Yea, how about a friend of mine who thought "The Island" was really original and thought provoking. He was so surprised that Michael Bay directed this and had new found respect for him.
I mentioned Logan's Run, but to little avail.
btw, The "computer voice" in the The Island is exactly the same as Logan's run too. -

In Reality look at how many cultures has tricksters. We have Brer Rabbitand Anasi in African Folklore, we have Hermes/Mercy in Greek/Roman mythology. We have Loki in Norse mythology/folklore. You can trace Cinderella back to Ancient Egypt (Rhodpis) and you can trace Beauty and the Beast back to Ancient Greece/Rome (Psyche and Eros/Cupid). People could argue that the "Witches of Walvery place" are both a rip of Sabrina the Teenage Witch AND Harry Potter. But you could argue that Sabrina the Teenage witch is just a 'teen' version of "Bewitched". Anything is borrowed from some other story or event I mean read the HP books and notice how much mythology references JK uses (Greek with the name Hermione and also the 3 headed dogs),Roman for Professor McGonell, Hindu (the twins dates for Ron and Harry), etc

Was there a Teenage Witch (Sabrina or not) in Casper the Friendly Ghost comics?
No, sorry, that was Wendy, wasn't it? (Brainfart)
Sabrina was from the Archie Comics, but was that before Samantha Stephens on TV?

Absolutely!
Ha Ha! I'm SO grateful I was born in an era when you could let your kids watch these movies and nobody freaked out. My love of film came from viewing these classic greats with my parents.
I thought you came up here to have a nervous breakdown. ..I decided not to have one.
