(To cause a democrat to win is the most effective way to destroy this country.)
The angry star was actually the first choice of Dr. Robert Lomas (the intellectual who inspired the Robert Langdon character) to play him. Tom Hanks plays Langdon in the film What??? This was a joke, right? As if Mel Gibson would ever think of being in this movie! Why that is just downright insulting to even suggest him for the role. The Da Vinci code is from the pit of hell.

A friend of mine saw it and said it's a fictionalized mystery.

Should kept his mouth shut about the theologicial content and told 'em (truthfully) "Its boring."
That would do more that anything to kill it off.

"I'm not angry, per se, that it refutes everything I hold sacred, the foundations of my beliefs. The Da Vinci Code is an admitted work of fiction but it cleverly weaves fact into maverick theories in a way that will appear plausible to some." I think that is one of the most cogent one-line explanations for the problem with this work of fiction... well done!

Oh boo hoo. Boots on the other foot now is it Mel?
Didnt have much problem taking liberties with the truth in Braveheart or The Patriot did you?
What a hypocrite.

They're already licking their chops over Davinci II: Angels and Demons. I can just anticipate the hype over this one.
My husband and I saw it yesterday and as a fictional mystery, we enjoyed it, but we know it is fiction. Wonder how many won't know that?

"The Passion of the Christ" star has been outraged... Mel did not "star" in "The Passion of the Christ."
He produced and directed it.
His hands appeared in a single scene, but that is all.

I am astonished beyond belief that someone in the film industry doesn't comprehend that fiction relies on a smattering of factual elements to create a good story. Am I supposed to believe that EVERY book and EVERY movie is factual!!?? Am I supposed to believe that Scotty really did beam people up and that Star Wars and Harry Potter are based solely on FACT!!!???
Give me a freakin' break!!!!!

There are a lot of words that can describe the Da Vinci Code. Two of them are "long" and "boring."

"Gibson says, "What worries me is that people will take this as fact. "
What? Was he talking about his film, The Patriot? Get over yourself, Mel!

Funny how criticizing The last Temptation of Christ was perfectly the Right thing to do, but say just one bad thing about the Da Cinci Code, and tons of "It just fiction so get over it" people come out and call you overly intolerant.
Well I say Good for You Mel.

This movie is not unlike Egypt's TV series on "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
It's a conspiracy theory designed to foment hatred.
