I agree with you, Urgeok.
I think that in an homage, you definitely put something of yourself in there, kind of make it your own while still showing what it is that inspired you.
When you rip off, you just do the same all over, without the flavour.
I dunno - it's a fine line and kind of hard to explain.
I'm a writer and mostly inspired by all the movies I watch and like. It's so easy to just "do what he/she did" - and so hard to let it simmer until it's ready to come out tasting of me.
(Yeah, I'll go get some rest now)
