  Yes. It's incredible to me that this project seems to have been completed without knowledge or any intent to replicate this scene, that it seems to be entirely coincidental.

    The movie is so corny, but remains my favorite!

  Was mildly disappointed that there wasn't a microphone in this project. Still pretty cool though.
