DaVinci Code Trailer

That list, IIRC, also includes "organisations" - which makes his take on the Catholic Church and Opus Dei (screwballs though they might be) outright lies... And if you'd seen any interviews with him, you'd know he put a lot of effort into convincing people that all his "facts" were indeed the real thing.

Your right I didn't see any of those inerviews, But as I stated in my previous post. It was my take on the story. I went into it knowing this was a story and taking it that way. Did it bring up some nice what if senarios, sure, but nothing to change my way of life.

I can't say that I'm especially excited about this movie. I thought that the book, while entertaining in places, was incredibly overrated. I still can't figure out how the book sold as many copies as it did, because to me it seemed to be a fairly run of the mill conspiracy theory story with a religious angle.

I do agree with Dagger75, though: Angels & Demons would have made a better movie.

Count me in, A&D would have been better. But it wouldn't make as much money as The DaVinci Code since it isn't "controversial" enough or "offensive" to many.

This might be the rare situation where the movie is better than the book.

You know something we don't? Or are you just assuming it can't get any worse?

This might be the rare situation where the movie is better than the book.

Further proving the above :

Dan Brown, Michael Crichton and John Grisham are actually the same person.

dunno about Grisham but the only thing worse than Congo the movie was the book, and the Jurasic Park series had better characters than the books they were based on.

I have not read the book, but did watch a History channel piece on it, and the concept interested me. Sounds like it will be good summer fare (assuming it comes out in the summer).

Never read the book either, but the trailer did scare me. No lie.

I don't know, I rather liked the books. I didn't really like Malcolm's babbling about paradigm, though, or his little back-from-the-dead thing between Jurassic Park and The Lost World.


Y'know, the original Lost World is way better than either of Crichton's books.

The trailer looked interesting; I might go see it, I might not. I might try reading the book beforehand, but I wasn't terribly interested in trying when it the hot, hot thing.

I thought the book was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as the hype made it out to be. And for someone who used to have a Pyramid subscription mainly to read Ken Hite's Suppressed Transmission column, it's not like the whole "templars hid the grail from the Pope, only the grail is Jesus' bloodline and not a physical object" thing was big "news".
