I part company with him at Open-Minded. Had enough of Open-Minded growing up thru the 60s and 70s. No interest now. Seeing that Sony execs crowing about a big boxoffice take. Pride goeth before a fall.
There's a certain dissonance in being open-minded about closed-head injuries.
I guess there's a reason this thing has spread so far. It's certainly unencumbered by evidence. But I thought it was garbage back when it was called Holy Blood, Holy Grail and I think it's garbage now.
Now, before you read this as an author's disclaimer for any differences between the book and the movie, let me assure you it's all there -- the Louvre, Saint-Sulpice, Chateau Villette, Westminster Abbey, Rosslyn Chapel, the codes, the sacred feminine, and the quiet invitation to think about faith, religion and history with a fresh, open-minded perspective.
I thought it was fiction?
Dale, Dale, Dale
Two thoughts: (1) I hope the 7-11s in Detroit (home of the soon-to-be-two-time losing NBA finalists) sell Thorazine, and (2) if so, I recommend the Double Gulp. Either that, or ask your doctor about prescription interactions.
Of course, Dale, you have an open invitation to root for the soon-to-be NBA champion Clippers and Stanley Cup chamnpion Mighty Ducks.
Deus lo volt!
Joseph, you have called for the nuking of every Muslim capital. For the taking of US Muslims as hostages and killing them in retaliation for terrorist attacks. For putting the entire US episcopate to the sword.
Through all this time, I have maintained cordial relations with you for a variety of reasons we need not rehearse here.
But with this ...
the soon-to-be NBA champion Clippers
... I hereby declare you psychotic, delusional and beyond all help and hope. D'Hippolito ... Anathema sit. Get thee behind me.
Victor:
I could point up a certain NBA series deficit, but that would be wrong.
Joe:
The Clippers winning the NBA title is clearly foretold as a sign of the end times in the Revelation to St. John.
And be very, very afraid of the Oilers--they're like roaches.
Gentlemen, PLEASE. This talk of Clippers and Spurs and Pistons is so...juvenile. The posting was about...something, but we should honestly be concerned about more topical and faith-based issues: The Dallas Cowboys! America's Team. Granted they picked up TO, but they don't need him to win the Superbowl. But win it they will.
Dale,
My deepest sympathies. Nancy's little bro' imprinted on that certain Texas football squad with pretentions of nationality at a young age too, and just hasn't been right ever since ...
peace,
Dale:
I wouldn't be quite so ... cavalier ... with the overconfidence myself.
Victor:
Horrid pun aside, there's much disquiet here in Motown. At least among those who process oxygen.
Dan Brown is a lying scumbag.
That's not an insult. That's a quiet invitation to think about veracity with a fresh, open minded perspective.
The universe will soon be re-balanced. The Pistons will send Young James & company home. The Suns will dispatch the Clips. The achy breaky Spurs will drop one more game to the Mavs. Creeping toward a Pistons-Mavs final series. Meanwhile, more good news. Virtually every review of DVC from Cannes veered between derisive laughter and extreme boredom. Deo Gratias.
The Clippers winning the NBA title is clearly foretold as a sign of the end times in the Revelation to St. John.
Why do you think I'm rooting for them, Dale (outside of Elton Brand, Sam Cassels and Shaun Livingston)? The sooner the End Times come, the sooner we can dispatch Islam....
Apparently, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, er, The Of Vinci Code is tanking with the critics.
Apparently, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, er, The Of Vinci Code is tanking with the critics.
Ahem ... not the only thing tanking.
Could Rasheed guarantee a Game 6 win too?
I'd settle for him guaranteeing some *points*.
How 'bout those Tigers?
Joe:
Yeah, I imagine the Second Coming will pretty well end all disputes with Islam.
In the meantime, I'd settle for the dispatch of the Islamofascists.
Dale, I hope your Tigers maul the Pernicious Perfidious Pierzynski-ties, the ulitmate mistake by the lake, as sweet revenge for God's Own Team, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Azuza, Cucamonga and the Universe!
Dale, just hope that Rasheed doesn't guarantee a Tigers' World Series victory! 
Well, is THIS a guarantee? After Game 5: "I still say that one man ain't going to beat five."
Not Namathesque ... but ...
This just in from Los Angeles:
Clippers 118, Suns 106
LET THE NEW SPRINGTIME BEGIN!
Today, Phoenix. Tomorrow, Mecca!
Well, Joe ... Allahu Akbar, I guess. I would rub it in harder, but the early game didn't go so hot either.
No matter, SDS. The Clippers have turned the corner and are on their way to becoming respectable (unless that infidel musselman, Donald Sterling, returns to his evil ways).
