Maybe someone could post the AP photo at the link? Thanks in advance.

"Sister Mary Michael, from Lincoln, England, stages a protest against the film “The Da Vinci Code” in front of the Cannes Festival Palace where the film is due to premiere this evening at the 59th International film festival in Cannes, southern France. The film debuts today in the United States."

"The film debuts today in the United States."

Let it. No more protests.

Brown's fictional work is not only fabricated Christian history/theology--it distorts Gnosticism too.

Folks, don't get hysterical. It's fiction.

The hype this movie is generating has so affected me that soon as it appears in the local theaters I shall start ignoring it immediately!

We must declare a Holy War against those produced, directed and distributed this blasphemous movie and burn their buildings to the ground and behead all those nonbelievers that were within a hemisphere of where they show this movie.

Oh, wait: that's the OTHER religion...

Sister Mary Michael would do better to stay home: protest and controversy (articles such as this one are probably fed by a press agent) may be the only things that will float what appears to be a cinematic bomb:

The most hotly-awaited movie of the year "The Da Vinci Code" failed to crack an audience of movie critics here at a sneak preview ahead of Wednesday's opening of the Cannes Film Festival.

Several whistles instead of applause were all that greeted the end of Ron Howard's 125-million-dollar film, and worse than that, the 2,000-strong audience even burst out laughing at the movie's key moment.

how come they do't make a movie of "the satanic verses"? why only pick on the catholics? let's be egalitarian?

[sirchtruth]

Am I the only one that sees an overwhelming, unique
opportunity about this movie to witness for Jesus?

[R. Scott]

I am amazed at the amount of free publicity people are giving this film. Opie could not have bought this much TV and newspaper space.

[MonroeDNA]

I am absolutely going to see it.

No mention in the article that one of the actors said the Bible should be force to have a disclaiming calling it fiction.

The average person who doesn’t know the facts

The fact is it's FICTION! Same thing with Harry Potter. Honestly, some wacko goes out on the deep end and all the sheeple fall over themselves to follow.
