DOOL rips off Ransom
Just from reading some summaries of the soap mags, the Ciara kidnapping storyline is an exact rip off from the Mel Gibson movie, Ransom. In Ransom, Mel's character instead of paying the blackmail money, offers it up as a ransom. One of the kidnappers kills the other kidnappers to collect the ransom. Yep, DOOL is doing the exact same storyline. Dean kills the other kidnappers and appears to be the hero. Seriously, is this the best way to break up Bo and Hope before Carly's arrival? They had to rip off Ransom? The Diva is rolling her eyes.
I think it is par for the course. Not surprised the show wrote this like crap too. I just love reading this stuff because it makes me glad I am not watching, in the past I would get bouts of optimism and patheticness (sic), and think the show will improve, my favorites will return, and it will be watchable. Now, the more PASSonit people coming, the continued refusal to write for the characters fans want, and want back, and the bad writing has completely cured me.
ReplyDeletehere that noise.... *SCRAPE SCRAPE*.. Sounds like Ms Higley is scraping the barrel once again...teehee
ReplyDeleteHahah, so true, Anon. Well, it is poetic since Dorkday and Nothing But Crap scrapped that barrel to get her and Tomlin!
ReplyDeleteRansom was a good movie. I'm not interested in seeing the Higley version.
ReplyDeleteAre there any storylines that haven't already been told? Even Hollywood has run out of ideas and rip off t.v. shows that were cancelled generations ago.
ReplyDelete.
They totally ripped off a very specific plot in Ransom. I'm sure a new writer could come up with a new concept.
ReplyDeleteYa, when Ciara "hears" the man talking to Bo as Bo is thanking him for saving his daughter and she pees her pants and has this look of horror on her face as she recognizes the voice.. I for one will be SHOCKED! Cause I will never see that one coming. You are right Diva, it's not even a play on the script, they are ripping off the specific plot of it. I hope they have a good entertainment lawyer.
ReplyDeleteThe real crime in all of this though is Hope's outfit.. who the hell put that together and thought it would look good on screen? Maybe Tomlin is doing wardrobe also now.
