A short while ago, I wrote about the movie The Island starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. The studio was sued by the makers of Parts: the Clonus Horror for copyright infringement. A judge agreed that the case could proceed to court, at which point it was settled for a rumored 7-figure amount. Netflix, in a moment of recommender system success, presented me with none other than this movie! Fortunately for me, it was the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version. As usual, it was hilarious and far more enjoyable than if I had watched this atrocious bomb of a movie with no commentary.
Spoilers about Parts: the Clonus Horror and The Island are to follow.
