Stein beats Spurlock (and Jet Li beats both)

The creationist documentary Expelled finished ninth at the box office this weekend. Not a great performance, but considerably better than Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World is Osama bin Laden, which only earned about half as much per screen. (Faced with two high-profile, ideologically opposed documentaries, Americans decided en masse to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li in The Forbidden Kingsom.)

The best way to critique a movie is to make your own movie, and I'm pleased to see some conservatives taking the initiative. I just wish they weren't using the movie to promote pseudoscience.
