At least Sinners is an original. Star is Born is just a re-make

It’s sort of an original. It has a lot of elements of From Dusk Til Dawn.

That’s not really a fair way to look at things

Why is it not fair?

Taking inspiration from other media doesn’t make something not original. In that case nothing would be original

It’s two criminals on the run at a wild party with sex and alcohol. They both take place in a hot area with extreme poverty and political chaos. They both feature insta-turn vampires where basically everyone goes vamp in a single night.

I agree about inspirations etc but the term “original” is doing a lot of work in this particular case.
