I thought this line of thought has been universally ridiculed enough to stop it forever; calling XYX movie a "rip off" of a VA movie..
OFFICE SPACE was a wholly original, very funny movie that owed nothing to no one, and, while flopping due to poor marketing in the theater, has found a lot of support and gained almost "cult" status in the video market...
WAITAMINIIT! That's MALLRAT's claim to fame! Those thieving FUCKS!
Here's my one observation on 37, and numerology in general. Having an interest in occult stuff, I've noticed an odd quirk of numerology... Any two digit number you focus on will seem to "come up" all the time. If it is "23" that you decide is important, you'll see 23s EVERYWHERE, and permutations of 23, enogh to convince yourself that something is planned. But the thing is, if you decided "41" was your "magic number," you'd see *that* all over the place as well.
I think it speaks more to sensitising yourself to note when this number comes up in everyday life, and noticing it, more than anything else. We are constantly barraged with millions of numbers all over the place, but we, for the most part, ignore them. By attrition alone, "37" will pop up a lot, as long as you look for it.
