Rush said that critics are saying that the movie is a bomb. People were laughing during the serious parts. I would love it if this movie tanked because it is just plain boring.

These same critics once said "Star Wars" was the corniest, dumbest, worst movie they had ever seen.

"I would love it if this movie tanked because it is just plain boring."

The Variety critic thinks it's boring.

Rush then said it must be good if the critics are panning it. Just wanted to make sure you put his comments in context by using all of them.

And so is Dan Brown. I think the only reason the DaVinci code has sold so well is because it's demonically inspired (or someone is doctoring the sales figures) because Dan Brown is not a good author. Take it from someone who reads a lot - he's not all that as a writer. I've never read the DaVinci Code, but I have read Deception Point and I tried to read Angels and Demons. Deception point was OK, but nothing to shout about. Angels and Demons was so bad that I read 1/3 of it and stopped. To give you an idea of how bad that is, in 18 years there have only been five, exactly five books that were so bad that I didn't finish them. Dan Brown's Angels and Demons was one of them. I don't expect the DaVinci Code is any better.

I'd expect the movie to be a bore because the book was a bore! Predictable plot combined with a juvenile style of writing (think high school sophomore trying to imitate Hemmingway). A big I Don't Get It--like Katie Couric--I don't get the popularity of either.
