Someone made a feed for capalert, that ultra-right Christian movie review site. Reading it, for me, has the same oogy fascination as seeing an accident site - you know it's awful, but some dark part of you is just rivited at the thought process behind listing tattoos as examples of "Impudence and hate." (See review of King Arthur.)

Besides I got hours of fun and entertainment out of trying to figure out why they consider "Ghost Ship," with its constant graphic murder scenes better for children to watch than "Harry Potter." (No joke, go look. Ghost Ship gets a yellow light, Harry anything a red. So tell me, parents, would YOU prefer your underage kids to watch a 5-minute scene of a deckful of people get cut in half, flop around, and slowly die?)

Anyway, the review for "I, Robot" just hit, and has this utterly priceless, clueless line:

All NS-5 robots were ... restricted by its programming from harming any human by three laws, much the same (so much so as to suggest plagiarism) as the T-101 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Terminator and Murphy (Peter Weller) in Robocop.

That's right! The movie based on Asimov stole - STOLE I tell you! - the three laws of robotics! Blatently! From two other movies! Bad Asimov, no copyright!

Oy. I realize that the last thing Capalert wants to do is actually know something about the damned world outside its church doors, but really, that is new frontiers in not getting it.

Okay, that's the second funniest review I've read since their review of Van Helsing, which so completely didn't get it it's sad. :)

Thank you, I needed that amusement today. :)
