Forrest Gump, et al, have made a movie that proves this lie is like a crock full of bull squat. Phew! Better know what you get!

Uhm...

You didn't read the book, did you?

Or was your copy not in the "fiction" section?

This movie will flop.

The DaVinci Code has been "outed" as a fraud over and over again by.......everyone! Even the History Channel made a joke out of it!

It was a good and entertaining novel. A work of fiction.

There's the whole historical inconvenience that Michelangelo labelled his sketches that he prepared for his Last Supper. Yes, John is John, and The DaVinci Code is a spiralling work of fiction based on faery dust.

This sort of thing normally wouldn't bother me if it weren't for all the other garbage accusations being brought against the Catholic Church as of, oh, how many decades has it been?

My other favorite work of Catholic historical distortion? The cover of Hitler's Pope that depicted Pope Pius XII being saluted by a German soldier. The problem, of course, is that this was not a Nazi soldier (despite the way this fraudulent photo has been touched up to bring about the resemblance of one) Indeed, Hitler hadn't even begun his rise to power and Pius XII wasn't even Pius XII, but Bishop Pacelli, who would become Pope 11-years later. But, my, was it dramatic!

Let's see....DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons, etc. If Brown continues writing works of fiction, he'll have enough books to compile his own bible. Sadly for Brown, J.K. Rowling will still take top honors for book sales.

Hail Harry, full of grace. Lord Voldemort is with thee.

"The book and the movie--I am told"

Why would you post a stupid vanity about something you have not read or seen?

Huh. So he heard it from his brother's friend's sister's aunt.

Did they find any good roles for Floyd the barber, Goober, or Aunt Bea?

Maybe Aunt Bea could convene a lodge meeting of the Priory of Sion
and lecture on Tantric Kegel exercises and the sacred feminine of the
Lost Great Mother Goddess Isis followed by a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF
Population Control rally... [Sarcasm Alert]

Dan Brown’s novel, The DaVinci Code, is now a movie starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard. According to Brown, Jesus married Mary Magdalene, a fallen woman, had a son who moved to Gaul and fathered Frenchmen.

What?? I heard on that A7E (or was it the History Channel) a while back they had this thing called "Unlocking the DaVinci Code" and they said that according to the book...

-- Christ married MM;

-- she became not only his faithful companion, and un-official #1 apostle but also a sort of co-Savior [you know, like Hillary was "co-president" with BC?];

--that at the time of Christ's death MM was "with child" and had to flee to Egypt b/s "they" were out to get her and Christ's unborn child;

-- in Egypt she gave birth to a daughter, which was named Sarah. [This is where the God-is-a-woman angle fits in.]

--After a few years MM and daughter take a boat to southern France where the daughter-of-Jesus-Christ marries the founder of the Moravian line of kings.

This movie and the book is 100% pure heracy - and fiction. (which heracy is, of course)

They had a special on the history channel a while back - digging for the truth. The whole "holy grail" concept comes from a medevial writer who was trying to stoke the hearts of men to go on crusade to the middle east.

Why does hollywood want this garbage to succede? because its the work of the devil and against anything in the God's word. Anyone remember the last temptation of Christ? Where is the outrage against this movie to the point of theatres pulling it?

But in the end – too bad! – the movie closes with Tom Hanks finding the tomb and disclosing nothing.

Geraldo would have bid to have the broadcast rights to open that tomb on a live television special.

Many actors and actresses are finding too much time on their hands. Don't have to wonder why as long as they continue putting out crap. Gotta get their dime from someone and many aren't paying.

Wonder how the box office take will compare to The Passion Of The Christ.

Will Hollywood make more religious themed Da Vinci Code knockoffs if this is successful?

According to Brown, Jesus married Mary Magdalene, a fallen woman, had a son who moved to Gaul and fathered Frenchmen. Voile! Mary Magdalene is the chalice which contained the blood(line) of Christ. Oi vey!

And this crap was a bestseller? Just goes to prove the Sheeple will buy anything that shows up on the New York Times bestseller list.

The novel was of course, FICTION. A good summer read on the beach.
It isn't true, and no one reads fiction for truth.
For truth read the Good Book.

I haven't read the Divinci Code but as far as I know, it is a bad knock-off of earlier pseudo-historical accounts such as "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", etc. However, the idea that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a special relationship is quite old; the idea is probably largely motivated by the quote below from the Gospel of Philip (a part of the Nag Hammadi library discovered in 1945) which was apparently written around 150-250 AD:

And the companion of the [...] Mary Magdalene. [...] loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her mouth. The rest of the disciples [...]. They said to him "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Savior answered and said to them,"Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness."

Yes, a bunch of Art Bell regulars are suing Dan Brown for lifting materials from their Opus Dei books.

Are Chachi, Pinky Tuscadero, Leather Tuscadero, Laverne and Shirley and
Lenny and Squiggy in this film? Ron Howard will really be letting down his fans
if they aren't and he fails to deliver the kind of absurdist farce we all know he is
capable of.

They should begin reshooting this movie with Anson Williams (Potsie Weber
from Happy Days) in the role of Langdon accompanied by Donny Most (Ralph Malph)
as his assistant. Picking up on archaeological clues beneath a 1950s art deco
Hamburger joint in Kenosha, Wisconsin (Arnold's), Potsie and Ralph trace the
lost Templar "grail" treasure back to Mayberry where Barney Fife, Goober, and
Floyd...
