Quote from: javablue on Oct 29, 2023, 05:14:49 AMI actually have tried to reply to BM79 a number of times but for some reason my reply post kept going to the bottom of my reply to you. I kept trying (including turning my computer off - that usually works doesn't it?) but to no avail. So I gave up (for the time being).
Because you can't make subsequent separate posts. They will just collect into one post unless someone else replies while you're writing the second one.
QuoteNo, the list isn't intended to find actual allusions. The list is just a list of what I consider to be allusions Ridley has used.
These are contradictory statements. Is this intended as a list of things Ridley is alluding to or not?
Why is David quoting
Lawrence of Arabia an allusion to
All the President's Men, and not just one of the film's many, many references to
Lawrence of Arabia?
