Either 77 Square's AI Needs a New Algorithm or Rob Thomas Is Losing It

While it isn't online yet, Rob Thomas' review of Vision: From the Life of Hildegard Von Bingen in the current issue of 77 Square is interesting. As with all of his reviews, there's a sidebar that includes "For fans of:", a list of movies that are similar to the one at hand. Visons, we are told, will appeal to fans of Amazing Grace (what movie is this?), The Name of the Rose, and Nuns On the Run. Nuns On the Run?! Are you serious? This Nuns On the Run?





So does Rob Thomas really think fans of an Eric Idle/Robbie Coltrane comedy about two guys running away from their mobster boss and hiding out in a nunnery will just love a serious, multi-layered profile of a 12th century abbess? Or does 77 Square have some goofy algorithm that makes these choices for him?
