In other words they were using psychedelics

of course nowadays studios will just let fucking anything happen

Moebius. French comic artist. He worked on The Incal with Alejandro Jodorowsky. The Incal is one of the main inspirations behind the Fifth Element.

ah, well there you go

yeah, imagine fifth element production resources and studios behind a dune production

Yeah, imagine...

Need new stories. Everything is a remake

I want a shade's children movie god damn it

I wouldn't mind it as an Adult Swim series, if I'm to be honest.

or no, wait, an HBO series

Cannot reinvent the wheel. I understand that Dune might well be good candidate for rehaul

New stories? OK. Read a lot, then throw all your influences together into one big pot, and make a stew.

Constantine show needs to come back, too

I reckon next big thing will be GRRM "WildCards" and TV adaptation of Joe Abercombie First Law Trilogy

no fucking reason that should have been cancelled

I was more of a rhetorical observation

Star Wars = Flash Gordon + Buck Rogers + Foundation + Lensman + Dune + Campbell's monomyth + John Carter of Mars + several other things besides.

Famou for its 'originality'.

You see my point about influences?

with some Japanese and WW2 influences

Yes thankyou for the explanation of an amalgamative process

That too. Forgot about the Kurosawa stuff. Sorry.

Darth Vader being based on a Samurai, for instance

they mention that in a movie

not sure the name of it tho

because it involves some kid who shrinks down to the size of a bug (and enters some magical world?) via telescope or some shit

Yes. C3PO and R2D2 are based on the bickering peasants from Hidden Fortress.

ah right, found the series

the movie in particular
