Is it me, or did the writers of "Scary Movie 2" rip off of me?

I was just watching Scary Movie 2, and i saw in this one part, the guy in the wheel chair takes out these guns, and gives them to the other… and excuse me for saying this… “Retards” and the guy explains how they work.

Now this is where i think i'm gitting ripped. The guns are almost IDENTICAL to my Distabolizing Pistol on my website! see for yourself!

its either they looked up my site, found the gun, took my discription, and intergrated it into the movie. Does that seem weird to you?

Oh, the wings on that proton pack look great…*sarcastically speaking*

I'm sorry man, but somehow I think my equipment is more logical than a proton pack with wings.

I knew you were going to see that sooner or later, Jay. Sorry bout that. It wasnt really intended to piss you off.

but if its logical you want to talk, a van isnt realy a good vehical to convert into a GB transport, because it has a higher center of gravity than say Ecto-1. You take a corner in the van at 75 MPH (i dont know the metric system very well), it has a greater chance of tipping over on its side then Ecto 1. Not to mention with all that equipment, it increses your chance of falling over.

If this pisses you off, sorry. i just need to point that out.

Maybe… but the wings on yur proton pack, making it possible to fly but not fire, is pointless…
I see no pros. to that…

As well, a friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous has this to say:

“Vans can be adapted for high-speed travel. There's a reason firedepts worldwide use vans for transport, and I think that those vans haul a LITTLE more gear than the CGB van.”

Ummmmm, that may be true jay….However I would like to point out that the type of van they use is different from yours.

perhaps…
but still, my van is a better idea than a “flying proton pack” that can't even fire while flying…

Its more of a story element, actualy (the not firing part) It builds up suspense, because in a story im still in the process of writing, i get thrown out of window if a tall building, and then chased by ghosts. I fire at the ghosts, and since the flight uses so much power, then i use the gun, its taking power from the flight to use for the firing. I freefall for some time.

somethings you have to realize, everything cant work like you want them to. if everything worked, the story would be resolved to easily. its almost like the crossing of the streams, or the traps not being able to hold anything larger than a class 10, or the PKE meter blowing up taking in PKE reading higher than a class 20…

thats what makes ghostbusters so great, is some times all the stuff doesnt work under certain circumstances.

as for the van, freak is right. fire department vans have a different setup then your van does. Ive seen vans like yours. they have narrow tires, small radials, and different length drivetrain that screws up the balance durasticly. the ceiling clearance of the van can throw the center of gravity off. even the facture of all the equipment in the van could mess up the weight balance.

if maybe you put wider tires on it, and lower the top, it could lower the apperence if it having the feeling it could tip over.

Then again, what do i know? Im just a retard from Chicago.

You're right about the Ecto-V, but to quote you, “thats what makes ghostbusters so great, is some times all the stuff doesnt work under certain circumstances.”

Therefore, everything can't br perfect and I'm sorry for raggin' on yur equipment, just took me by surprize about what you said about mine :S

I truly thought i changed that on the discription page. it didnt occur to me until you replyed.

i didnt mean to rip on you like your stuff sucked. the one thing that seems to bother me, is that Heather's proton gun looks almost damn close to my EctoBlaster Shotgun. here's where my gun can be found:

compair my gun with her's, and tell me that those are not alike. (BTW, i took the design off a paintball gun, and modified it, so bother to point that out.)
