CC=GWTW?

by **squishyg** on Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:19 pm

So basically lack is a war profiteer, just like Rhett Butler
The bandits are sexy, controversial, and forward thinking, just like Scarlett O'Hara
The conquerors want to keep their points and titles at the expense of low-ranked players, just like the South wants money and small waists at the expense of slaves

Need more proof? Clapper is Belle Watling, Night Strike is India Wilkes, and THOTA is the horse that kills Bonnie Blue Butler.

It's eerie when you start thinking about it.

I've been thinking about this long and hard...

Andy is Melanie Hamilton Wilkes and KA is Ashley Wilkes.

If you couldn't figure it out by reading the OP then you need to be interrogated by the House of Un-American Activities Committee :!:

Didn't Rhett kill that pony fer what it done did?

Hmmm... the CC comparison didn't really strike a chord with me.
The GWTW makes me think of the former Krakatoa.

I C wat u did thar

Anyway, I never read Gone With The Wind so I wouldn't know who the characters were. I could have looked it up I guess but that would have taken up too much time. (srsly I wouldn't have stopped at just finding out what it was, I'd have to look at all the links too)

It is the most seen movie of all time. I don't think anyone has read the book.

Wow, is that ticket prices as in people going to the movies or does that include DVD and video purchases as well?

All that and I've never seen it :-k

by **happy2seeyou** on Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:02 am

I've never seen the movie or read the book. Not that I haven't been interested in it, just never got around to it.

by **squishyg** on Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:15 pm

I read the book for the first time when I was 10. And I've been to Margaret Mitchell's house in Atlanta! I am to GWTW as AoG is to Japan.

You know what trouble I's talkin' 'bout. I's talking 'bout Mr. Ashley Wilkes. He'll be comin' to Atlanta when he gets his leave, and you sittin' there waitin' for him, just like a spider. He belongs to Miss Melanie...

Rhett Butler walk away from Scarlett at the end with no hope of ever getting back together with that woman who had caused him so much emotional pain. Only in her mind was there hope but Rhett was never going back to her.

Are the bandits causing Lack emotional distress?

Lack:
"Frankly my dear; I don't give a damn!"

Bullet Proof Bandits:
"But tomorrow is another day!"
:lol:
