Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes): 3 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). Vanilla Sky is nearly the same story as the Spanish original, except the hero is a magazine magnate friends with Spielberg.
    “So the film is actually pretty much exactly the same as Abri Lozojos, except for the main character of that movie is not a magazine magnate who's friends with Steven Spielberg.”

  2. lineage (lineage) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). The ending follows the original beat for beat, down to the jump and the 'open your eyes' last line.
    “Yeah, again, it's how Abri Lo Sojos works to a T down to him jumping and open your eyes, like being on last lines.”

  3. lineage (lineage) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). The Spanish film has the same beats, and the protagonist's face looks even worse in it.
    “But it's like the movie's beats are exactly the same down to the, you know, crucial moment of him like lying in the gut.”

Open Your Eyes (1997): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake) · through Vanilla Sky (2001), which they acted in: Open Your Eyes ⇒ Vanilla Sky (the host's read). Cruise adapted Abre los Ojos into Vanilla Sky, a bold move he does not make today.
    “adapted Aubrey Los Ojos into Vanilla Sky”

The Judge (2014): 1 line

  1. lineage (homage) · through Man of Steel (2013), which they acted in: Man of Steel ⇒ The Judge (the host's read). The tornado father-son fight echoes the father-son tornado scene in Man of Steel, another Warner Bros. film.
    “an homage to everyone's favorite father son scene from Man of Steel.”

what-if (1)

  1. what-if (what-if): Fantastic Four (fan-casting game, no film) → Michael Shannon. Michael Shannon as the Thing, objected to for lacking lovable John Goodman energy.
    “my my pick had always been, though he is not Jewish, Michael Shannon.”
