Ok, I have seen the movie twice.. and read the book once...

And just for fun I have even scanned through some of the 'response' books if you will, one in particular being... "A quest For Answers - The Da Vinci Code" by Josh McDowell.... haven't heard of it? Well I'm sure you can stop by almost any local church and they'll probably be more then happy to point you in it's direction. The purpose of this lil' book is to help separate the facts of the Da Vinci Code, from the fiction... Personally I think the book it's self handles that well enough, more so if you buy one of the hard back version with all the lovely little notes, but hey as humans we love a good deal, so for most of us if we own a copy of the Da Vinci code, it's probably the $5 paperback copy... but moving on... If the churches and Christian leaders want to publish these little books to help inform the masses, more power to them, I see no real hard in the concept... what I do find to be just a little off with these pass around tell alls, are the fact that like the one stated above, most are presenting their points in a fictional format!
I don't know about the rest of you, but this is really starting to give me a headache!
I can't say I agree with the ideas that are being tossed about in the controversy, but I will say for the most part I can go way, way out on that tiny limb and understand where exactly every one is coming from on the mater. Personally, if I were to be offended by any of it, I would find the book a bit more offensive then the movie, I mean I have to say, Ron Howard and his crew covered their asses well. Honestly at the end of it all, when push comes to shove on this argument, I think no one is going to get anywhere any time soon until we pull out of the Fiction Formats and take a walk of the wild sides of Fact and History. - I think it could be fun.
Can't wait to see what happens when a book & movie are made about the lesser known grail legend, involving John The Baptist head, morbid, maccob, yet intriguing.

If nothing else, the cinematogrophy is excellent, 2 thumbs way way up! Sophie isn't a red head, hell the only red head in the movie is Marry and that it's self is still only in the painting, and I hate to say it, but for the first time since.. well possibly the first time ever I actually find Tom Hanks attractive, though I credit most of the attraction too the smooth lighting, subtle shadows and of course the character of Robert Langdon is practically a dream guy in my book, but hey I'm one strange cat at the end of the day. . . still meow.
