Evidently the film is a stinker. Good.

With the camera focused on McKellen, one could hear a distinctly nervous laugh in the background, seeming to come from either actor Tom Hanks or director Howard. McKellen's stunning bit of blasphemy is likely to test the adage that all publicity is good publicity. He is only saying what Brown, Hanks, and Howard are thinking, but are afraid to say.

...actor Ian McKellen managed to throw a refinery tank's worth of gasoline on the fire on this morning's Today show, asserting that the Bible should carry a disclaimer saying that it is "fiction."Would this actor be so "courageous" to say the same thing about the Koran or does he prefer to keep his head?

Is Gandolf still waiting for God's endorsemnet of his homo lifestyle? Sounds like sour grapes.

I really think people are making a bigger deal out of this than is justified. If someone decides to take the word of Dan Brown (I think that is his name) over the Holy Bible, then they obviously aren't interested in the truth anyway.

Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, Magneto from X-Men, Prof. Teabing from the Da Vinci Code):
"Well, I've often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction. I mean, walking on water, it takes an act of faith. And I have faith in this movie. Not that it's true, not that it's factual, but that it's a jolly good story. And I think audiences are clever enough and bright enough to separate out fact and fiction, and discuss the thing after they've seen it."Catholic ping!

Come on, guys, don't fall for this. They NEED the controversy now that the critics have panned this movie.

He's an actor. He reads the words others write. He's also a militant homosexual.

just another reason not to go see it.

McKellen, an open homosexual, has also said he always physically removes the passages from Leviticus that offend him .... from this work of fiction that is often found in hotel rooms! Hah! Think he tripped over his own tongue here.

The scary thing is, Brown throroughly believes his piece of fiction is factual, at least the conspiracy theory part. Brown believes tha Mary and Jesus were married and had a baby. Brown believes the gnostic texts are the true gospels more worthy than Mark, John, or Luke. Brown believes the Catholic church is covering up the truth.

Matt Lauer, on his second day "On The Road With The Code,"Apparently Matt and the Today Show staff also feel the urgent need to fuel the fires.

Good, let those Hollywood Liberal Elite totally expose how intolerant and hostile they are towards religion and especially Christians.
Let him come back tomorrow and continue.

If he said that about the Koran, there'd be a fatwa on him.

Evidently the film is a stinker. That's what I'm thinking too. And the actor's seem to be doing their best to alienate the ticket-buying audience.
