"I'm very happy to believe that Jesus was married," he said. "I know the Catholic Church has problems with gay people and I thought this would be absolute proof that Jesus was not gay."Was there ever any doubt??

Take note: There's an awful lot of movies that critics hate but people love, and vice versa.

The problem is that your typical European movie critic simply doesn't get his jollies off doing a Beavis and Butthead gigglesession about Jesus.
They are, after all, beyond that ~ preparing themselves, as it were, for the day they must become Moslems and bow down to Mecca 5 times a day.

If this is the most anticipated movie of the year it doesn't look like Hollywood is going to buck the trend of record losses this summer.

Ian McKellen, an openly gay actor who plays Leigh Teabing in The Da Vinci Code, tried to make light of the controversy. "I'm very happy to believe that Jesus was married," he said. "I know the Catholic Church has problems with gay people and I thought this would be absolute proof that Jesus was not gay." Snide little carper.
Oh and Ian, your Gandalf was low rent. Next time, get the hair out of your face and try to keep your deviant behavior out of your reading.

Howard had some advice for those who objected to the story. "There's no question that the film is likely to be upsetting to some people. My advice is ... to not go and see the movie if you think you're going to be upset." Mmmmm........thanks Ron...........certainly some food for deep thought there. Very profound.
Matter of fact, I find more than 90% of what Hollywood churns out to be objectionable. I guess that's why I don't go see it. Once again, great insight Ron.
Over and above this question, however, is the issue of whom we may slander and defame with untruths. I don't foresee Ron making any movies which show say...Martin Luther King...in an unfavorable light. Critics would hardly be placated by saying "well if you think you'll be offended, don't go see it."
Some things really are off limits but for different reasons. Some,like the above mentioned, are just too politcally incorrect. Others, like Islam, carry with them a threat to life and limb, so that's probably another area which fearless film makers like Ron will likely avoid.

Well it wasn't a very good book so I doubt that it would be a very good movie. This is suppose to be big summer blockbuster??? Xmen3 will kick its butt.

"I haven't read the book, but I just thought there was a ridiculous amount of exposition," I'm trying to read the book- currently about 70% finished - and the book has a ridiculous amount of exposition as well. Pages of plodding dialogue discussing the Holy Grail, Mary Magdalene etc. All very tedious. Normally I wouldn't read such a dull book but I thought I should know what everyone was talking about. Turns out not much.
