    --Linux would be easy for everyone if:

    1 -- Windows didn't assume everyone was a Super User all these years, confusing Mom and Pop AOL emailer into believing they had any right to load anything on their HD's

    2 -- Mac didn't cater to the "I'm and artist not a computer user," one mouse button is plenty crowd

    3 -- Games were developed for *nix

  17. Re:Just to be a jerk... on Dune TV Mini-Series Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    hmmm... Interesting idea.

    However, there are scenes from Star Wars that can be overlaid onto The Searchers (For example; the scene where Luke comes running over the hill to look down on his burning house is the EXACT same shot in The Searchers.)

    This type of similarity makes me think Lucas was emulating the American Western, which very likely was emulating the Authian Legend.

    This is of course the same conversation as Guns & Roses is influenced by Aerosmith who was influenced by The Rolling Stones who were influenced by Muddy Waters therefore Guns & Roses was influenced by Muddy Waters who they only know as a reference to the blues.

    You may be right, but I doubt it was the writer's intent. Certainly not the Filmaker's
