Good ro Bad...
... atleast they're talking about us.The Da Vinci Code is going to be coming out in theaters very soon, and this seems to have a lot of people, countries, ethnicities, religious leaders and Bible Thumpers in an uproar. We all know the premise of the movie and most of us probably understand why all the hub-bub has been stirred, but here's what gets me most:
Why do we have all this uproar over a movie, based on a book, that SUCKED. The Da Vinci by Dan Brown (wasn't that his name>) is one of the most poorly written examples of American novel writing I have had the horror of expereincing full on. I finished the book, but not because it was a great story that was well told. It was an interesting concept that moved quickly, presented twists and catches and ultimately ended up reading like a very low-budget B-Movie from the infamous Plan 9 director, Ed Wood.
The Da Vinci Code is a New York Times best seller. Lots of people love this book. Lots of people hate this book. Lots more people hate this book because it makes their religion look like a hokie, over-done, politically motivated and ludicrous schlock fest... which I think is funny because its non-fiction! And, it is very poorly writen shit, which amazes me even more...
"Robert quickly explains the concept of symbols as a method of soul transference to Sophia as they leap over a hedge..." and such statements seem to populate every fucking chapter of the book. Robert quickly explains... to Sophia as they careen through traffic..." Over and over and over... Dude, learn a new fucking phrase!
Anyway, the book ends with a twist that makes you realize the writer has been staying up too late and is now in a bind.
"Oh shit... now what the hell am I going t-... YES!" and the book ends with some weird, exceptionally convenient twist that solves everything. And then it gets worse. Yes, worse.
And yet the Catholic Diosese (spelling?) is fighting over this shit? Free fucking advertising...
