"Is THIS the "idiot" you were referring to?"

No, Doc, that ISN'T the "idiot". I was referring to the Hollywood executive to decided to name the movie Rob Roy.

?

I not sure I understand you since.........The movie Rob Roy was based on Sir Walter Scott's novel which is named, amazingly enough, ROB ROY.

FYI (from the above link):
"SYNOPSIS: This epic adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's novel details the adventures and misfortunes of Scottish clan leader Rob Roy McGregor (1671-1734). Rob Roy, a man of steely integrity and honor, requests a loan from the Marquis of Montrose in order to enlarge his farm."

They purposely retained the name of the book that the movie was made from. I suppose that they could have named it "The Alien Meets The Blob" instead. Indeed, this change would have made it more palatable to the uneducated products of the current Public School System. Wouldn't you agree?
