I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the XF/Lazarus connection.
Cooincidence? I think not. Well, they say that impersonation is the
greatest form of flatery. I'm sitting in the theatre nudging my two
roomates whispering, "They copied us! They copied! Stone, that jerk!"
Oh, well. When you're the best people wnat to emulate you. I guess that
makes Chris C & Co. better than that Oscar winning director O. Stone! HA!

In all fairness, X-Files has ripped-off, er BORROWED, plots in the past.
One that comes to mind is the episode that looks A LOT like John
Carpenter's The THING. I understand being inspired, but stuff like that
bothers me because I KNOW they can do wonderful, creative shows without
swiping the plots or plot points from other shows.

In the case of Lazarus, I've heard that NBK was being edited for about 9
months prior to its release. That might imply a leak from Stone's camp.
Who knows?

Yup, Lazarus was definitely a rip-off of Natural Born Killers. I saw NBK
on Friday afternoon and tuned into X-file that night and I was pissed. It
ruined the whole experience knowin' that the writers had pilfered NBK.
Remember, the story behind Natural Born Killers has been circulating in
Hollywood for year now. Quentin Tarantino wrote if in the '80s, long
before Resevoir Dogs or True Romance hit it big. So I'm sure the storyline
and the marriage bit were circulating long ago.

You are all a bunch of loons! NBK and Lazarus were nothing alike. So much conspiracy and not an ounce of truth.
