Brown Has DaVinci Rolling in his Grave
With the movie coming out now, some of us are cringing that some of the "nicest" Hollywood people are having anything to do with it. Tom Hanks, & Ron Howard. Who would have thought either one of them would have anything to do with such a piece of trash. But hey... I guess it really does just all boil down to bucks.

"Contrary to earlier reports that Sony planned to soften the story's more controversial elements, Howard tells NEWSWEEK that there will be 'no placating. It would be ludicrous to take on this subject and then try to take the edges off. We're doing this movie because we like the book.'"(Director Ron Howard, when asked if any consideration was given to Christian sensibilities in the making of The Da Vinci Code (Newsweek)

He likes the book... So he likes a book that delierately trashes Christianity in general, and the Catholic Church specifically. Gee... Good thing he's trashing Catholics, not Mohammed, or Muslems, eh?


Well, Barbara Nicolosi has a few things to say

"I have, thus far, been campaigning for a kind of non-campaign as regards The Da Vinci Code. I was thinking that we should all just agree to ignore it, and put our efforts into praying for the people who hate Jesus and us, His disciples, so much that they would make this film. I was reluctant to throw any free p.r. at the project by speaking about it publically, as that is all that the studio wants here. The people promoting the movie want - with every fiber of their obscenely well-compensated beings - that we make this film an event."


And so do the authors of another piece of fiction, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", whom Brown widely acknowledged as a large part of his source material. They are sueing Brown for stealing their ideas. Brown credited “Holy Blood, Holy Grail” in his book, but the authors are claiming infringement of their ideas. “I don’t begrudge Brown his success,” Richard Leigh, one of the plaintiffs, told London’s Daily Telegraph. “I have no particular grievance against him, except for the fact that he wrote a pretty bad novel.”


And now.... lets all pray for Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Dan Brown, Sony Pictures, and the poor deluded souls that are, at this moment, wandering Rome with novels clutched in their hands, completely confused. Lord have mercy!
