Imagine the bomb this movie could have been if not for the attention brought to it by the public outcry to boycott it. The banned in Boston effect was in play.

Yeah, this is faddish pap. It will be forgotten very shortly....old news.....languishing at $5.99 in the DVD store bargain bin along with Mars Attacks!. The controversy has attracted a lot of people who have never read the book to go see it. But it's a bad movie.

Just as "The Last Temptation of Christ" had no lasting social impact whatsoever, despite the controversy, this one won't either. The only thing the controversy has done is earn the author and creators a few more bucks over the next few weeks. The ultimate outcome, other than the extra bucks, is the same.....$5.99 in the bargain bin.

languishing at $5.99 in the DVD store bargain bin along with Mars Attacks!

Hey, Mars Attacks! is a classic. Don't drag it down to the level of this Da Vinci thing. Just last week, Rush was laughing over it as he described some of the plot. Slim Pickens yodeling and Jack Nicholson as the (Dim-elected) Prez.

>> Just as "The Last Temptation of Christ" <<

The difference is that no-one, absolutely no-one, actually paid to see the Last Temptation in a theater; and its only readers were Brown-University "Diversity in Western Literary Mythology" classes.

Seriously, that movie didn't make enough money to pay for the catering.
