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....
