Isn't this the evening news?
Exactly... but try to read the first page... Dan Brown is trying to persuade the reader that stuff written in his book are factual despite the fact that it's just a novel...
Dan Brown is just an anti-christian individual just as Salman Rushdie is to Islam..
I hope Dan Brown will write another book entitled "Da Muzzie Code"... explaining the relationship of Mohammad and Gay Arabs...lol... sarc//
I think it's not an either/or proposition--- the media will hype and sensationalize to make money (most evident in sweeps), but always within their leftist parameters. of course, 99% of the time when making money conflicts with advancing leftism, they choose leftism.
I hope nobody who thinks this attempt to promote gnosticism is crap goes to see the movie. You don't have to, to be informed on it, since you can just read the book... Which is incredibly crappy anyway, with some of the flattest prose, one dimensional characters and contrived, predictable plots since "the Celestine Prophecy".
"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown aside with great force."
---Dorothy Parker
It's Prior of Sion... not Sidon... but you're right, it was a hoax...
Hey, Ron, eff you!
Now, we return to our normal programming.
Anyone out there with some $$$ ? I picture a man under the influence of opium, walking up a mountainside, after raping a nine year old girl he appearantly calls one of his wives. Then sees a vision, who wouldn't at this point, of what he believes to be something sacred. This start of the movie would lead to the forming of the cult Islam. Plenty of 'peaceful' beheadings should be shown too.
"I disagree, it has little to do with money. It is just most in the media love to bash Christians. Most people in media are not about the money, it is about the agenda."
Howard, congratulations, you are now Ted Turner's favorite wet dream.
...And guess what Tom? I was the only one on the planet who defended Joe & the Volcano. You insensitive, balding, has been.
>>Opie gone rotten.<<
At least now we see that Opie and Hanks are just typical Hollywood a-holes.
--History Channel had it too--
Question for the rest of us: Is the popcorn for eating or throwing at the screen?
I'd like to ask Hanks and Howard when it was that they last attended a church service of any kind? Their God is the Almighty Buck. Period.
One reason they are avoiding "the controversy" is that they do not want to give away the whole plot to those who want to see the movie.
So what if their god is the almighty buck? At least their god exists. And if their "god" compels them to make a movie, instead of suppressing evidence about child molestation, justifying homophobia, or supporting repression of women's reproductive rights, then their god hasn't compelled them yet to do anything half as destructive as the Catholic church has so far.
Wow. So why don't you tell us all how you feel?
So, all Catholics are evil? Is that it? You have a lot to learn.
Now THAT'S an almighty buck!!! LOL!
: )
That's a code phrase for "saying it's wrong to suck babies brains out of their skulls so we can keep fornicating like crazed rabbits without consequences".
I just want to make it clear that you hate the Catholic church and love killing innocent children, Pfft.
How does a buck compel someone to make a movie? Assuming one worships the buck. Is it all knowing and all seeing? Does it compel one to be moral? Does the buck instill faith in itself or in man?
I knew you atheists would be along soon.
