hahahahaha, happiness is the most briliant movie made in 1998/1999. i loved
that movie so much. but about the magnolia and short-cuts thing...i wasnt
on the list when you had the discussion...but the similarities i noticed
were as follows:
~the problems of random peoples everyday lives.
~some big dissaster that makes everybody wonder in the end.
sure there are more, but those are main story plots, and when main story
plots are copied, it can be considered a rip-off. and i say rip-off lightly
because i would never in anyway talk shit on PT Anderson.
