I agree with this sentiment Senator, but can't help wonder then why you can't see anything entertaining in an Alexander Payne flick (Election, Sideways)?

Election is fucking hilarious.

Agree.

Eh, I thought it was OK. A little rushed in the beginning and a little long in the end. But overall good.


Why so much vitriol over this movie? Are you guys going to debate the artisitic value of X-men 3, too?

This thread is incredible.

anyone who has read this book or seen this movie is a dumbass.

And anyone who makes blanket statements like ^^this one^^ is an even bigger dumbass...

Dan Brown does start off the book by saying all the history in the book is true. i don't think X-Men claims to be the true history of the world.

I stand by my claim. And anyone who isn't a dumbass would agree.

well to help prove yourpoint, i've read it

that's because its prophetic. It's set in the FUTURE!

It's a good book, and yes, at times I'm a dumbass, but not because I've read a book. Poor amgl.

I'm seeing this later tonight. Hopefully it won't attract a bunch of annoying teens.

this might not even be a rental, this might be a torrent. but i'll probably see it eventually.

Just saw it.

Actually stayed pretty true to the book. It was a bit long, but if they cut much out it would just come off horribly.

It's not this horrible crappy film the fuckhead critics claim it to be. For a summer thriller it's pretty good. Just a bit boring in parts.

The storytelling scenes where they flash back to the early days of christ and the Middle Ages were pretty cool and keep it from being horribly boring.

The ending was a bit fucked up though.

And Dan Brown doesn't claim ALL the history was true in the beginning Jewels. I just finished re-reading the book two days ago. He mentions that certain aspects are true and others are embellished upon for storytelling purposes. He makes that distinction pretty clear.

Holy screeching grinding fuck. I just saw this too.

The "fuckhead critics" are right - it's hilariously bad. Rotten on every level. A failure in every direction. As a thriller it sucks bag - there isn't a moment of suspense in the whole thing. As a mystery it's convoluted and laughable. As entertainment it's moronic. Dumber than "dumb entertainment" has any right to be. I'm actually shocked by the monumental stupidity of this endeavor.

There isn't a two minute stretch in the entire movie that makes any sense whatsoever. I'd go into more detail (ie: the comedy of the albino supermonk, the nonsense of the plot between Sir Ian and his butler, the very question of why the fuck this Robert Langdon character was dragged into this in the first place, and onwards and outwards from the first frame of film) but a) I'd risk "spoiling" this piece of shit, and b) it isn't worth it.

And btw - I expected NOTHING from this. I never read the book. My admission was free. I've got nothing against Tom Hanks or Ron Howard. This. Just. Sucked.

My friend and I both enjoyed it. In the book did they mention the curator WASN'T Sophie's grandfather?

She looked damn good in every shot!

These comments from you don't surprise me in the least.

Now if you actually said you liked it, that would surprise me.

i tried reading this a while back and just couldn't get through it. everyone keeps telling me to try again because mary magdalen has been a thin theme through a series of large drawings i've been working on for the past 3-4 years.

i don't know. it just didn't hold my interest. i'm hoping the ex takes the kids because i'd rather not go. no hating or anything just kind of blah.

and audrey tatou is a poor man's juliette binoche.

both equally bangable

This I understand. And a bad movie I understand. The instant hate because middle class white people liked the book, I didn't really get.

Kinda how I feel about Alexander Payne, Marco

And this whole Jesus kids thing ain't news to me. I've read a million conspiracy books, so if the plot doesn't move, I guess it might suck, we'll see tomorrow, I guess.

Dan Brown is such a bad, horrible writer. It's like a blockbuster movie contained in a novel, written by a romance writer.

I almost went to see this tonight and then I decided it wasn't worth .78 cents

You're sooooooooooooooooo indie. I'm gonna have to read 24 hours of HST just to get enough indie points to reply in this thread again.
