The Alessandra Stanley Watch: All Goyim Look the Same
Oh, Alessandra. We do so admire your ability to come up with new and creative factual inaccuracies week in and week out. Like in Friday's review of NBC's Poseidon Adventure remake, in which you wrote:
The script even takes account of grade inflation at the Vatican: the take-charge Roman Catholic priest Gene Hackman played in the original is now a monsignor, Bishop Schmit, played by Rutger Hauer ("Blade Runner").
Having not watched the remake, we'll have to trust you — though God knows why we would — that there really is a monsignor, Bishop Schmit, in the TV movie. But we must point out that it's not just inflation but also conversion: In the original, Gene Hackman played Rev. Frank Scott, a protestant minister, not a Roman Catholic priest.
Jeez, if only the Times's own blurb on the movie — or maybe the IMDb mentioned that....
