That's usual with movies I want to see and end up liking... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

Neversin said: Ian McKellan is too good for crap like this...
I finally caved in and read that piece of shit book after everyone around me (and even on here) praised it and said I had to read it cos it tackled topics that were in the same vein as "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and "Focault's Pendulum" (two books that are well researched and thoroughly interesting... I should have known better though after reading that "Angels & Demons" crap from the same bullshit writer...) but FUCK man, I felt fucking cheated of precious time reading that bullshit, amateuristic, non-researched melting pot of half theories presented as 1 sound theory and people are actually falling for the crap that guy writes... (And when this movie comes out a whole new breed of retards will be born who will try to act like scholars (with this book as their source, hilarious I know...) on the topics raised in the book/movie and will try to convince people that all the bullshit in that book/movie is real without reading/researching further into it...) I say stay away from it and if you want well researched material on the topic start out with "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and work from there (Freemasons, societies of disinformation, Merovingians, Spear Of Destiny, Mayan prophecies, Vida's, the crusades and knights templars etc...) Or just watch the movie but don't get fooled by simple, bullshit explanations of various theories... To me the writer of that book has some agenda against the whole christian system and tries to attack them with sloppy research and to me that makes him as detestable and ignorant as the ones he blames for all their conspiracies... If you want to fuck with them beat them on their own ground instead of making up shit and connecting dots that aren't there and present them as facts and in the process fool people into believing "new" teachings that's as BS as what religious people teach... So much for this rant... But why read this with the expectation of a real investigation into the topic? Does the book/author claim to have done this? I have no idea about that at all, and I just enjoyed the book for its tension and pace. But then again I'm really no expert on books. I guess I read like Top 10 listeners listen to music. | |

Pretty much... He even starts his book by stating a so-called fact about the existence of "The Priory of Sion" (I should have thrown away the book after reading those lines...) A secret society that didn't even exist and was just made up by some French guy in the 1950's for his own amusement (something that is a well known fact to people who actually read and know something about the topics raised in the book...)

Now I just gotta wait until it opens in this fucking backwater country.  That's to say wait to see if it opens in the backwater country. Some of them movies never make it because of stupidity and religious influence. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

Only huge movies like LOTR, Star Wars and Harry Potter opens at the same time as in the UK/US. | |

Neversin. [Edited 1/3/06 9:00am] I'm sure dan Brown was well aware of this. I think that the book is a great piece of fiction that was interesting enough to have caught the publics imagination. I dont think it's his fault that people have taken the whole thing FAR too seriously. I do agree with you that the movie will most likely suck arse. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Apparently he was not because when confronted with this info he waved it away as being made up just to bash his book (but if the idiot had actually done some research he would have known this was a well known fact ever since the late 1980's...)

summer blockbusters the last year were terrible. Damn it, i want one dimentional action stars back, at least those films had some irony. x men takes itself so seriously. x men 3, wonder what surprises there will be? No doubt great special effects, a non funny script, and a feeling thats its brilliant on the screen, then u come out the cinema and realised u'd seen it all before and infact, its completely souless
I guess it was like that with the stallone and arnie movies of the day, but they had a look about them. And camp bad guys. And were not based on comic books  | |
