Quote:In your sig, give credit to Samuel Langhorne Clemens. That way you'll seem like you're two centuries behind everyone, which is far better than seeming to be full of crazed belligerence. Be more like Mal, not at all like Jayne. Damn, I just realized your picture is Jayne. Never mind me.

And you got a video to sell. www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=8&t=44946 That explains why you're so concerned about pirated video. It's all about your money! Since I would never pay for Highlander Season 2, I shall pirate download it.

Actually, I'm not making a dime off that Highlander set. Did it for the exposure.
I will try and make some $$ of the follow-up episodes, though.

Indeed. Somehow I missed it.

Digressions and duels aside, I pointed this out on the Inception discussion thread here awhile ago and I'm glad that someone else is seeing the similarities. The hall scene for one is something quite similar between the two.
One of my favorite similarities would have to be the elevator sequence in both.
The scene I'm taking about starts around 3:45.

I think the main element in both films that people are keying on is the use of a machine to enter other people's dreams and manipulate them.
Hell, if Harlan Ellison had written Paprika, he'd have filed a lawsuit as soon as the first Inception trailer came out.
