So the news today is that the "critics" are panning the Code.
Screw Em.
sometimes they are right, but a lot of time they are wrong too. we'll see how it goes. I am still planning on seeing it early Friday.
The book was good (not great) but entertaining (frankly I liked Angels & Demons better) and it will be a shame if the movie doesn't turn out well. Some of the comments are that it isn't as action-packed as the novel seems to be and is too talky - but I like talky movies to an extent.
I just wish all these Catholics and others could get over it - so tired of their nonsense - it's FICTION people!
Anyway, the only thing I found really disappointing about the book is that being a fan of Leonardo (not dicapprio) I thought that the title was terribly misleading after reading the book. I really wanted it to be about Leonardo DaVinci and involve all these points about him, but in actuality he doesn't really play any major part, there is only one thing or point made about his Last Supper and that is basically it. There really isn't much "code" in the "DaVinci Code" and even less "DaVinci" so the whole thing sucks big time as far as that goes.
I guess "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" was already taken as a title :-)

PS: I say if you were planning on going to see the movie then go see it and don't let the critics dissuade you. and if you are the kind of person that won't let your kids watch Harry Potter and think that the DaVinci Code is somehow denigrating to Christ then thanks for staying home. I didn't want to listen to your Nacho munching, loud talking self anyway.
