which idea was that?<hr /></blockquote>The base idea that clones were being raised for replacement organs. Not entirely original but a good base idea.

A better execution would've had the clones lock up in pens playing vids and eating cheetos 24/7. Fuck the island, they wouldn't have any desire to go anywhere else.

oh, the idea they stole from Parts: The CLonus Horror you mean... yeah, they didn't actually get the rights to remake the movie, so they just stole the story intead. i guess there's a lawsuit underway...

I am ashamed to say I saw it...

I was not enraged by it though.... If I can endure Desperate Housewives once a week I can endure anything...

never heard of this movie...

I have not seen this, but there are several, several movies that invoke the same (maybe worse) rage and hatred in me that The Island seemed to do for you.
