(Everyone looks at me funny when I claim they misspelled 'Atlantian' in the ad)

Perhaps the whole Atlantis movie is some group's attempt to attack the cliomancers.  Some mystical movie magick or the like, or some coded messages in the thing.

On a side note: the whole idea of Atlantis comes from one of Plato's dialogues (the Timaeus, IIRC) where it's introduced exactly the same as all his allegorical stories.  Now, he introduces these alleogrical stories all the time in the dialogues, but why is it that people stick to Atlantis and not claim that, say, the allegory of the cave is real?  (I'd say cliomancy, except the belief in Atlantis seems to predate it).
