Are you going to see the Da Vinci Code?

[Liberalsaved]

I may need this otherwise good but not ownable flick on DVD to assuage my waiting while Evil George Lucas rejects every Indiana script shown him. This and National Treasure and Heaven help me, maybe even Tomb Raider. My impatience for crypts and scrolls and things runs deep.

I didn’t want to see it at all, UNTIL they said the movie reached its climax, its “big moment” of revelation and the crowd actually laughed! Now I’m dying of curiosity!

Do you reckon I could licitly see this? I honestly don’t believe that it would shake my faith in the slightest (God fibbed to the holy saints throughout the ages, but clued Dan Brown in? Please).

Are you going to see the Da Vinci Code?

I won’t, and I’ll tell you why.

Dan Brown surely receives royalties from the profits made in the movie. I refuse to let any of my money go to that man. I don’t care if it’s a fraction of a penny, but he’s not getting his hands on it.

Even if I could see the movie for free, I wouldn’t. It’s a waste of time. Why waste two hours watching something that no scholar validates? It’s funny and sad at the same time that there are so many documentaries about it, but people don’t actually pay close enough attention to those documentaries to understand that those scholars are all saying that the Da Vinci Code’s things are just lies.

Why waste time reading or watching the Da Vinci Code when I could use it to read a more useful book?

Dan Brown’s fifteen minutes will soon be up, and the pages he wrote hopefully will be used to line trash bins. I can’t believe trees actually died for useless garbage like that.

I have no desire to see it. I didn’t read the book either.

I think my main problem is the fact that a lot of the hype with this book came a WHOLE lot of ignorant people who took this book for truth, including many fellow Catholics. It’s just sad to see this, and I know it isn’t Dan Brown’s fault, so to speak, but if there’s great literature out there that present a great story with truth, why waste time on something like this? I’d rather have another book to tell these people to read instead .

I’m with the “they won’t get a penny of my money” crowd. I did buy the book, because so many people in my family were talking about it & loved it, completely bought into it. So many people focus on the claims that Jesus was married & had children, when I am way more concerned that it claims Jesus was not God, just a really great guy. Like Ghandi or something. It probably did not affect many people who come to this site, but what about more secular Christians & Catholics? I really worry about young people, as that seems to be a natural time to question one’s faith. I saw a college student I know reading it at Christmas Eve mass. Lots of people believe it, & it can affect their salvation. It might be fiction, but many people also bought into the fact that Christ’s Church is the most murderous, deceptive thing out there. I think Brown had a definite agenda beyond entertainment. I have always loved Ron Howard, (how can you not?), but he said he wasn’t going to tone the film version down because he LIKED the book. Tom Hanks was speaking to introduce Howard at an awards dinner shortly before the film came out, I think it was the American Film Institute or something like that. Hanks said something like, I’ll follow you anywhere, I’d follow you to hell. It was the weirdest thing to say. I used to love them both, but it’s very serious to lead many people astray. Thank God for His Divine Mercy. Sorry to be so verbose, but I can’t understand how many people treat this like it’s no big deal.

One of the wonderful things about the entertainment world today is the rich variety of offerings. There is something for everyone. Some like one thng. Others like something else. Entertainment value is subjective.

There is definetly a rich of variety of offerings out there to suit every deviancy; such as porn, explicit horror, etc. If a person professes to be a Christian then there are boundaries and I believe in this case it is crossed. So why view a public defamation of one’s faith unless you watch it for true apologetical purposes.

If one is not interested in watching the movie, has no interest in validaing if the comments about it are true, and doesn’t care very much about the general cultural discussion, then I see no reason to see the movie. There is so much available for every religious belief that everyone can find some entertainment they like and support.
