Here's an irony alert — and a lawsuit alert: a new movie about clones appears to be an uncredited clone of another movie.

Director Michael Bay's new science-fiction blockbuster has drawn comparisons to the '70s classics "Logan's Run" and "Coma." But "The Island" looks so much like 1979's "Clonus," aka "Parts: The Clonus Horror" (available on DVD from Mondo Macabro, $19.95) that its director says he may seek a federal injunction to stop "The Island's" distribution.

"Clonus" is an obscure cheapie with a fascinating premise, best known now because of the ridiculing it took in a "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episode. Viewing one after the other will make you do a double take.

So much so that I didn't mind the guy in the row behind me, who lampooned the entire thing (even though he hadn't heard of MST3K, asked him after the film.)

I can't wait for a $100 Million version of "Manos". Mmm hm.

3. What does M-I-L-W-A-U-K-E-E spell?

about $2.99 a case

(Clonus and Manos are in my top 5 favorite mst3k's)

4. $100 million Manos

Considering the current state of things in Hollywood, it just might be worse than the original. They'd spend most of the money on CGI knee enlargement for Torgo and the movie'd still be unwatchable.

5. Ha! It should STILL "star" Arch Hall Jr. too!
