Insight into the mind of Amazon.

Amazon emailed me this:

Greetings from Amazon.com Alerts.

following criteria:



DVD and Video with "Cary Grant" in the Actor's name. ...



Dracula



Publication date: July 20, 2004 ...




We hope you enjoyed receiving this message.


Well, first, I did enjoy receiving this message. It was quite amusing, in fact. Cary Grant was in Dracula? I click on the "more info" link and see it's that 1992 Francis Ford Coppola version of Dracula--the one with Gary Oldman as Dracula. Winona Ryder is in it. I saw that movie, and even if I hadn't, I'd be damn skeptical that Cary Grant was in it. I click on the link to see the full cast of the movie. I search the page for "Grant" and then "Cary" and find the actors Richard E. Grant and actor Cary Elwes. Amazon isn't quite as smart as we might think.
