no, rove.
As I was saying below thread. I have no real interest in the DaVinci code, except to the extent it pisses off the Bill Donohue's of the world.
Which I whey I take such glee in saying that the BILL DONOHUE STROKE WATCH is on, since the movie took in more than 30 million on opening night and is on track for more than 80 million opening weekend.
Looks like OPIE Dei has a hit.
Wow. I was first.
Peace to you all!!!!
Oh shit, I left something on the stove downstairs.

i am going to see the movie just to see what the fuss is about.

a multitue of reasons.
">here we go again
The Senate Intelligence Committee has sought to examine the quality of U.S. intelligence on Iran. But a committee staff member said the effort was sidelined by the need to complete the panel's probe of prewar Iraq intelligence.
"I think it's unfair to compare what it is we believe we know about Iran with what it is we prove to know or not know about Iraq," Hayden said
Everybody poops.

Whether I see it or not, I'll say at dinner parties,
"You know it surprised me that it claimed Jesus was married, I don't believe it! I always felt sure Jesus was teh gay."
That will surely make the fundies happy, no?

With the exception of his belief in the failed doctrine of Conservatism, Sully sort of tore it up down there in D.C. I have to give it to him.

the book was good...
I heard Dan Brown wasn't a RealWriter™.

i liked watertiger's question (think it was her). did jesus masturbate?
surely he did.
are we all albino now too?
filk! Rainy here, but life is good. How's by you?
I saw a quote by someone who refuses to see the movie... "If Jesus wanted to have children, He would have had hundreds and not just one. Because He could walk on water."
Seriously, that was the quote...
I think Arianna has reached critical mass with the microdermabrasion.
Pretty well, NTodd. (We get the rain later this evening.) After lo these many months, and too damn many stupid delays to be believed, they tell me the new album is finally in transit. I'll believe it when I see it -- and I damn well better see it by Wednesday, I've got a show next weekend. You?

Oh man, WGG. That is blasphemous (and disgusting), but I laughed.
i mean how odd back then must it of been for a man who took no interest in womem and hung out with 12 hermen!
I read Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" which I guess is some sort of sequel to The DaVinci Code. I didn't consider it to be anything but an action thriller with some overblown conspiracy theories. It was one of those books that is so action packed that you wonder how the characters managed to hold their bladders for the 48 hours or so that the plot takes place in. I considered it a silly piece of fluff.

Adrenaline pumpers-- Of course, I've read them all.
As I was saying below thread. I have no real interest in the DaVinci code, except to the extent it pisses off the Bill Donohue's of the world.
I read the book on vacation last January. It was good for that - quick potboiler read for on the beach. Went through it in about two days. I don't care for Ron Howard's movies, so when I heard he was making the film version I though, eh...
However, if it gives Donohue a stroke, so much the better. I hate that asshole.
NTodd -- actually, yeah. I'm just uploading a revised sample (about 12-1/2 MB) with the first four tracks of the album. Give me a few minutes, and I'll get you the URL.
Harry Potter has made its author, child actors, publishers and studios a fortune.
so i don't think they will be too worried about their 'immortal souls'
Arianna smacks down Sully.
BTW, fewer people like Bush personally.
My town has a cool concert in the summer called the Transperformance. There is a theme and local bands "transperform" as famous acts (some do note-for-note covers, others make it their own). It's really fun and I really want to be in it. The theme this year is "Family Bands," but it turns out the fella in charge means bands with family words in their name: Brother, Sister, Uncle, etc.
Any suggestions? I offered up "Big Brother and the Holding Company," but just in case that doesn't fly...

Posted this on the previous thread for attaturk just before the thread gods killed it.
I haven't read, nor will read, the book
I know what you mean. I had no interest in reading it, but then read it for business purposes -- had a meeting with a producer who wanted to do some kind of vast conspiracy-type story and wanted to see how things were linked together in Da Vinci Code. One of the worst written books I have ever read -- goes right up there with an I Spy novelization I read as a young teenager (always referred to the character played by Robert Culp as "the spy with the movie star's face" -- yeeeck!). For the job, I had to read The Da Vinci Code and watch the DVD of National Treasure -- and then the fucking job fell through when the guy left the country to shoot a movie on location in Europe.

Heh, I still have the original vinyl.
I heard Dan Brown wasn't a RealWriter™.
NTodd, Humpizzle™
He is, in fact, terrible. But The Da Vinci Code did keep me interested until the end. More due to the subject matter, I think, than to his writing style. I tried reading Angels and Demons afterward and gave up halfway through, it was so lame and boring.
I know I read The DaVinci Code but I don't remember a word of it.

NTodd,
love the pix of Mex.
Toonscribe, I always figured "The DaVinci Code" was "The Bridges of Madison County" with less corn and more crucifixes.
ciao moonbats for now
Dr Who is on in 5 mins and then I am off to see The Da Vinci Code.
I'll put up a review on my blog when I get back.
love you lots
Friend gave me Da Vinci Code for my birthday, and it so infuriated me with its 2-page cliffhanger chapters that I threw it across the room.
Not with the same vigor as I threw "The Rules," mind you, but with energy, nonetheless.
I know I read The DaVinci Code but I don't remember a word of it.
I know I have not, but thanks to these threads, I still remember the two words "almost inconceivably."
Lawrence's The Rainbow features a scene where a man fucks a tree. Great stuff.
In John Barth's Giles, Goat Boy, one of the characters talks about everyone and everything he's had sex with, including "the barky boles of trees." I always loved that phrase -- but not in the same way he loved the trees.
Heh, I still have the original vinyl.

I blogged earlier about how weird it is that the fundies are going to provide free publicity to a movie they don't like. However, the fact that it's fiction is no reason for them to discount it. So was Uncle Tom's Cabin. Fiction can change people's minds and hearts. I just think that showing up and protesting the movie is a good way to ensure that more people see it. As well as Popetown, which i blogged about yesterday.

OK, I cannot tell a lie-- I read the "DaVinci Code" and got through it. It went on too long, and is definitely commercial-grade hackwork. I didn't (and don't) know anything about the author, and I didn't even know a movie was being made when I read it.
But during the first several chapters I thought, "This would make a great Hitchcock film starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn." Even the scowling French policeman struck me as very Hitchcockean-- I guess I'm thinking of "Charade", a film I always enjoy watching.
I also liked it because Brown set forth, in a few key paragraphs, the Gnostic-flavored, revisionist/hidden/apocryphal parallel history of Jesus and the Church that appeals to me.
I think that it was Professor Wombat who mused here several days ago that it was curious that people would be attracted to a conspiracyish theory that the true religion was hijacked by its enemies instead of appreciating the church that's preserved faith for two millenia.
That's a crappy and probably woefully distorted paraphrase, if ProfW is here, maybe because the comment was a little ambiguous to me. In fact, I do believe that institutions tend to become corrupt and prone to become the thing they were formed to oppose.
When I first acquired my smattering of Gnostic concepts (via a belated introduction to PKD's works), it provided a context to my instinctive conviction that the feminine principle had been deliberately stripped away from the godhead during Christianity's formative period and reworked into the subordinate Mary, the broodmare of God, icon.
Even as a kid I distrusted the Baltimore Catechism concept of the Holy Trinity. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that such a Trinity should be Daddy/Mommy/Baby (God/Goddess/Demiurge), not Father/Son/Bird-- aka the "Holy Ghost", re-euphemized as the Holy Spirit after Vatican II. Casper or Tweety-- what's the difference, it felt wrong. Despite all of the glib, facile rationalizations offered by orthodoxy-- e.g. of course we know that God transcends gender, in no way are we promoting an agenda of superior masculinity-- it's not a fluke that Judeo-Christian tradition doesn't do goddesses.
So I don't mind if this sensationalized dreck shakes up the dull traditionalists.

Haven't seen it in ages, but I think when I did see it (age 17 or so) I had reached the point where I'd "outgrown" such films. If I watched it again today, maybe I'd appreciate it on a more mature level (craft, screenplay, acting, etc.)
Not I, Little Bro: I do think Brown is speaking to a lot of people who yearn for something that their eposure to religion in general, and Christianity in particular, isn't givng them. And that should shake up the traditionalists, that there's such an audience for a gentle heresy, and the tale of its alleged suppression, to the extent that 'The DaVinci Code's' success so far transcends its literary, historical or theological merit..

But I wish she'd just come out and get it over with.

The quintessential date movie, which I saw on an actual first date (not my choice of film, of course). I remember thinking Kristen Scott Thomas was way hotter than Andie MacDowell, and that Hugh Grant was nuts for not preferring her the whole time.

"The man who fights dragons too long becomes a dragon "himself." --Nietzsche
Always have loved Nietzsche for quotes like the above. He of the epiphanic statement.
I have to agree with your take on Andie McDowell, Robert.
One of my favorite Jodie Foster films is a little flick called Foxes -- about a group of teenage girls who are friends. This was in Jodie's adolescent dumpy period so she plays the "plain" one. IMHO, the flim is stolen by a blonde (can't think of her name right now) who was in real life in the band The Runaways.
i'll cop to it. hell of an actor, Jodie, but her interactions with men are tres sterile, generally.

Foster was a disgrace in Taxi Driver. That movie was a disgrace to the Constitution. All libs should stick to plowing their dingy fields.

Prison is grammie's second home.
Filkertom - there was a movie several years back with Antonio banderas that I never noticed in theaters, my son rented it. He was an arab travelling with vikings in some remote past time. I think it was called 13 Something. There was a sequence in some northern village that was threatened by some other race that I think was initially thought to be a dragon. All of this is because I remeber a scene of the invaders in the far distance coming down a valley with torches, and looking like a giant fiery snake.
MHO, the flim is stolen by a blonde (can't think of her name right now) who was in real life in the band The Runaways.

Gotta go get lunch, and then work on some audio. Hugs all around -- take care, bats!
I think Jodie Foster's problem with leading men has nothing to do with her being gay. I think she's just emotionally flat in general. That's why I don't particularly like any of her performances. It hink the interview with her I heard on Fresh Air really drove it home for me. She's just kind of a dry, boring person.
mena, i saw that too. The 13th............

In either case she really didn't have anything to do with either of them.
HoneyBearKelly?
I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek. She was also something like 13 years old.
Jazebel -- it'd be nice. For some reason, any 2D art I've ever seen in relation to the McCaffrey dragons has been bone dull. Some very nice sculpture, though.
And now, really -- I must away!

And the Gere one is the civil war one.
The 13th Warrior.
Based on the Crichton novel Eaters of the Dead.
Which was based on Beowulf, IIRC. I thought the book was okay. Didn't see the movie even tho I like Banderas--heard it sucked.

Oh, I liked that movie! It got buried at the box office, I think. One of those films no one knew how to market, so they just dumped it off during some off-season time and hardly anyone ever got to see it. It purports to be a real-life basis for the Grendel myth from Beowulf, oddly enough. I thought it was a really cool idea.

Sommersby. That was the Richard Gere one.
I think some of Foster's performances are pretty damn emotional.
Her performance in Foxes being one of them.
And in The Accused and SOTL.
But as stated above she has no chemistry with any male lead.
So far.

Just a guess.
Speaking of Jodie Foster, she gave the commencement address at Penn this week and had the good grace to throw in a couple shots at BushCo (e.g., their "disastrous and shameful reaction" to Katrina). You can listen to her address here (mp3) or watch it in streaming video here (though that has the whole ceremony).
Wasn't "the Return of Martin Guerre" broadcast on Twilight Zone, although it was a French TV production?

Her performance in Foxes being one of them.
And in The Accused and SOTL.
SOTL? I dunno. I mean, I guess she does the emotions of fear and outrage pretty well, but I don't think there's a lot of range to her. Hilarity? Passion? Despair? Rage? It's all determination and righteous anger as far as I can tell.
Kris Kristofferson was a great in ' Alice don't live here anymore' - I liked it whan he slapped them across the room.
IIRC, they did an animated version of the Pern series. I'd love a live action one.
Loved those books as a teen.
