Debate over evolution shuts down IMAX film because the film (about underwater volcanoes) presents the theory that life evolved from multicelled organisms that live in underwater hot vents.

Other Films That Should Be Shut Down Because of Their Portrayal of Evolution

Spiderman: Man evolves into Spiderman.

The Blob: Blob evolves into bigger Blob thing, that evolves into even bigger Blob-type thing. That eats people, and that’s un-Christian, too.

ET: Strange, mysterious alien evolves into boy’s best friend.

The Usual Suspects: Seemingly unthreatening disabled thief evolves into evil, completely healthy crime boss.

Alien: Gooey outer space pods evolve into slick-H.R. Giger-designed acidblood monsters. That eat people.

The Wizard of Oz: Presumably regular monkeys evolve into evil monkeys with wings. Also, I’m not sure where those Munchkins came from, but it was probably evolution. Or magic. Either way, ban it!

Braveheart: Peasant countryman evolves into blue-painted leader of men. Scottish ones, too.

The Matrix: Someone as lame as Bill evolves into someone as cool as Neo. Whoah.

Gigli: Somewhat hot double threat actress/singer (she did work with Stephen Soderberg) evolves into intolerable diva who crashes movies into the ground. And eats people. Probably.
