Not the first time the words 'ripping off' and 'Blockbuster' were in a sentence together, but usually the sentence diagram looks a little different.

So how does the Boston Police define a 'Movie Buff"? I have a call into investigators to see which films were 'ripped off'.

If the films were French New Wave, then it fits. Early Scorsese, definitely. Remake of a Japanese horror film, well... But if the films starred a lesser Baldwin, promised to bring the 'Van Dammage', or had the word 'Momma' in the title - I'd be worried about the judgment of our local police force.
