Speaking of movies....

I hadn't actually planned to see The Da Vinci Code film when it hits theaters, mostly because I'm one of the few people I know who haven't read the damn book, and, while the plot sounds somewhat intriguing, it also sounds somewhat hackneyed.

But now that I see that right-wing Christian groups are denouncing the Tom Hanks adaptation, setting up Web sites, and airing broadcasts blasting the movie, I think I will go, just to shove it to these bastards.

Any movie that the slimy James Dobson of the sleazy Focus on the Family group is against, I'm for.

(And I hope Tom eats a tiny corn on the cob in this one, like he did in Big. That cracked me up.)

Yep, the book IS pretty good. JBK, if nothing else it's a good summer beach read. I'll go see the movie too although I'm usually disappointed by the movie versions of books I've read.

JBK - I agree with the previous posters, you will like Da Vinci Code, at least the book, and Tom Hanks is usually good in whatever he does so the movie should be fun too. I can't wait to see it!

I don't know, the movie doesn't look so good - Tom Hanks looks pretty weird in the pictures and clips I've seen. Not like what I pictured.
