The Da Vinci Cock-Up...
 

Rotten Tomatoes rates Da Vinchi Code at an appauling 16%...

Not that I'm surprised. Book's bollocks.

I wonder how far this will go before the religion card is played. I kinda wanted to see it, cause it may have been a good thriller, but then I heard the reviews and that the screen play sucked. and I'll wait for the DVD...which I can rent for free from work.

See, I always thought the book read like an action movie, therefore would actually translate to the screen better than it did the page. I really really didn't like the book (concept was interesting, but Brown went about it horribly) but with a cast that boasts some of my favourite actors (Paul Bettany, Alfred Molina, Ian McKellan and Jean Reno) I figured it would rate better than a 19%.

I'm actually kind of glad for the poor reviews. Maybe it will stop every Tom, Dick and Harry from thinking they're an intellectual/theologian just because they read the f*cking book.

It's Da Vinci. No H.

For someone who's name was lifted for a turltes name, you'd think people on a TMNT board would know that...


Anywho, on topic. I liked the book. Great fiction. I wish the extremists could realize that crucial fact. No idea if they movie's going to be anygood. I really don't pay attention to reviews anyway, and I did enjoy the book enough to warrant going to see it.

The only negative part? Having to watch Tom Hanks try to act. Again.

Wow, 16%? I haven't been back to Rotten Tomatoes in a while. That used to be my Thursday night ritual.

I haven't read the book... I don't have much desire to right now. Maybe some day.

He was good in Forrest Gump =\

I've only read "Angels and Demons" and that was so disgusting that I'll never even touch his other novels. Anyway, I'm going to see the movie today, just for fun.
EDIT: I fixed the title, "Da Vinchi" looked too painful. :p

Im gonna see Da Vinci code on Sunday. Pft Who cares if there are protesters outside the theatre.

I liked the book cuz Im a big fan of Leonardo Da Vinci. Now they should make a movie out of "Angels and Demons"...that would REALLY piss off the Catholics. Especially what happens to the Pope in the book. :lol:

I don't see what all the hub bub is about anyways...Has anybody ever read "The Da Vinci Legacy"?? That came out in like 1981 and is the same fraking plot as the Da Vinci Code...only difference? The secret code is in Leonardo's notes!

There's lots of books about Jesus having a kid or 2....There's a book about the daughter...books about a son....specials that say he had 3 kids,ect... Big fat deal people...it's just a fraking story!

Im just wondering what Dan Brown's next book in the series will deal with. I know it's called "Solomon's Key"...no doubt it'll deal with a code in Michelangelo's stuff or Donatello since "Angels and Demons" dealt with a secret code in Raphael's stuff and that Raphael was supposadly a member of the Illuminati. :lol:

Middle-aged Renesance Conspieracy Theorists!

What happened to the Pope? It's not as bad as what they did to Chef, is it?

My guess is that they kidnapped him to join "Popetown"...

Ahh I mustn't continue to read this thread >_<! I'm in the middle of Angels and Demons and I don't want any deaths to be spoiled :lol:

Why watch the movie or read the book. Play the exciting game!

Dun worry.. I won't spoil Angels and Demons for ya. :lol:

Meanwhile tho if you wanna know the plot to the next book in the series, The Solomon Key (supposadly Dan Brown's gonna write like 12 more) go here:

Now what Im really interested in is the book he's gonna write about a conspiracy around Mozart!

I want to see this because I think it looks good and Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors.

However, I'm worried that it'll have a lot of stuff that'll go over my head since I'm not religious and don't know much about the mythology.

"Turltes?"

Pot, you won't beleive what the kettle just called you...

Did anyone hear about "The Albino Code"? The parody that a bunch of albino actors made because they were upset with the portrayal of albinos in "The Da Vinci Code"?

Heh. Nice.:lol:

Yeah, I've seen that. And it looks completely ridiculous, quite honestly.

Hah, never heard of it. Is it on YouTube?
