I went to see United 93 and there were trailers for the Da Vinci Code. I didn't read the book, am not going to read it, and not going to see the movie.

My Question: Has anyone read the book and is the movie (essentially a crazy spy thriller nonsense stupid story) the same basic script as the book?

The trailers were some of the most stupid things I have ever seen and anyone who would believe any of that trash would have to be a dope.

It's hard to completely avoid the trailers, especially on TV.

I haven't read it. Many of the people I know who've read it, and loved it, are Catholics, and quite a few of them are Catholic school teachers. Some give it as gifts, others encourage their students to read it. And they believe it as truth, finally freed up for us all. Sigh. My pastor (a temp, filling in) has stopped short of forbidding it and has made it known he is opposed to it, but few have paid attention to him on that.

I'm told (I haven't read it, just excerpts) that the movie is true to the book. I don't know about everyone here, but far too many people I know love it, and think it true, even when confronted with the point that it was written as fiction. Curiously many of these same folks are big Potter fans.
