Jeez, people, its a friggin novel!
Never challenge my beliefs!
This is just the sort of nonsense that reasoned and total refutation lends credence to among the sort of people who would tend to take it seriously in the first plsce.
True, albeit with an agenda, don't you think?
It's a movie, folks. It's a movie, based on a fictional book, folks. If you don't like it, don't see it.
However, if you wish to give this movie additional publicity, enriching the producers, just go ahead. I'm sure you'll have great success.
"True, albeit with an agenda, don't you think?
"
Of course there is an agenda: To sell lots of books, and to make a movie that makes millions of dollars for everyone.
What agenda did you think it has?
Someone forgot to circulate the memo that "The Da Vinci Code" is fiction.
Who would have thought that sweet, freckle faced, red headed kid would produce movies like this?
I am very serious....and seriously disappointed.
He must not believe in anything...
bump
BOYCOTT! BOYCOTT! DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE! IT'S TERRIBLE! IT'S NOT TRUE!
"Hey, Susan...everyones talking about this movie. I wonder what all the fuss is about...."
"I dunno, you wanna go see it?"
"Yeah...let's go this weekend."
"OK."
It's a movie of a novel...a work of fiction, like the "Celestine Prophecy" movie that is coming out soon also. What is it about a work of fiction that is so upsetting to people? Why do you feel the need to refute a novel?

Actually I think this is a good way to handle it. Unfortunately there are people who don't even know what the word "fiction" means. BTW, I'm a Christian who isn't distressed over the movie at all. In fact, I think I'm going to go see it. But I do know what the word "fiction" means.
"Little Opie sure did grow up with a vengeance, don't you think?"
Opie? Opie was a fictional character, just like the characters in this movie. Hellooooo!
What are they going to do next - try to refute Harry Potter?
Yes it is a fictional novel. However, (for the hundreth time), Brown claims the events integrated into the story are "accepted truths". His story is based largely upon the work of Henry Licoln who in the 1960s published a book named "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" or something like that. Brown claims in interviews ect, that this historical claims in his book are indeed true. This is not an innocent story as many claim. It has an agenda to make false claims about Christ.
Did Harry Potter have a fictional account about Jesus in it? I must have missed that somewhere.
