On Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:20:25 -0700, The Starmaker <br> Yeah you did. You said "as an artist" that Wall-E could not have been <br> created without extensive study from all angles of Johnny 5, that he <br> could not have been created from memory. Yes, obviously Wall-E is a <br> generally similar robot to Johnny 5. But only an idiot would

I didn't say they were identical, the media didn't say they were identical, you're <br> the *only* one on the planet that is using the word "identical" regarding this. <br> I'll tell you what's *identical*, Your ass and your face is "identical". <br> Here is the definition of "identical":exactly alike; incapable of being perceived as different.

There are no discrepancies, there are no conflicting facts or a divergence of opinion. <br> The news media from around the world *all* agree, <br> The creators of Wall-E definitely had to have the star of <br> Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2 in mind when they were coming up <br> with Wall-E's ...according to one news source the National Post in Canada.

On Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:30:58 -0700, The Starmaker <br> You mean if an artist drew from memory he might include changes like a <br> square boxy torso instead of a long cyndrical torso, eyes that are <br> larger, arms that retract into the body instead of just folding back, <br> exposed wheels on the triangular treads instead of having it covered

On Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:25:04 -0700, The Starmaker <br> No, I think you are lying when you claimed that the only way to create <br> Wall-E was with intensive study from every angle of Johnny 5. Try to <br> pay attention.

Do you think it's just a coincidence that they look similar? I mean, seems <br> intentional but really is just an accident??
