Ha. Actually, when I originally typed that I thought about making it right but then realized I just didn't care enough. Besides, the film itself gets it wrong, so please consider my version an intended satire.
As for the serial comma: I prefer them and am annoyed when they are missing. I think their use promotes clarity as well as parallelism.

See, that's why I avoid reading newspapers. How could you even write that?
Oh, wait, you're telling Beltmann that you and I agree?

Ahem. Previous page, dude. 
Netflix doesn't stock it, though, so I still haven't seen it.

I've been looking for it at various retail outlets, with zero luck. (I've been resisting the Amazon route until the used copies are a little cheaper.)

Ooops! I guess I just got lost in the serial comma controversy and didn't even see the post.
