: : Would you call the MATRIX's visuals "ripoffs" of Darrow's artwork because he designed the look of the technology? Or ALIEN's visuals a "rip off" of Giger becuase Scott did not draw them himself? If you were taken in by the imagery, then the directors did a good job of breathing moving life into still-life..
: No, because in both of those cases the artists were employed by the production and working in collaboration with the filmmakers and were paid and credited for their work.
: : How come you never "talk" at the film-411 board about this kind of happy-crappy?
: Because generally, I have better things to do with my time than post at film-411.
In no small part, thanks to you, Dobbin.
