"Berlinski is an excellent writer, in my opinion. I read his book a couple of weeks ago. You’ll notice, in this article, that he never splits an infinitive."

I did observe that his structure and usage was impeccable. For that reason, I read his statements with acute wariness.

That kind of exceedingly precise verbiage can make you think that up is down and black is white if you're not careful.

I noted that he said it was untrue that the video presentation on cell operations was copied, an accurate statement. It wasn't copied; it was derived. A copy would be identical. This was only similar; too similar for coincidence.

Then he said that they didn't need permission to use a portion of "Imagine". Perhaps so. I don't know, but they could have asked, and they didn't.

These of course, are quibbles, and I am not here to quibble. Nothing I have learned of Ben Stein's movie compels me to interest in viewing it.

Narnia, however ...

Nothing I have learned of Ben Stein's movie compels me to interest in viewing it.

I don't see any compelling reason that you should see it, either. I'll probably rent the DVD, if it hasn't slipped my mind by then. I won't expect to see any new information, since I'm familiar with the topic and the perspectives on both sides. I just think Ben Stein is cute!

I hope they do a better job with the second "Narnia" movie. I was disappointed in the first - departures from the text were too egregious.
