An Honest Review Of 'The DaVinci Code' and me being annoyed by the mass of idiots on this planet.

Well, I went see 'The DaVinci Code.' In an entry I wrote a very long time ago, I said something like "they'll probably be throwing holy water on us as we go into the theater." I was almost right. As we walked out of the theater a woman was shoving books at us. This is before we were even in the hall way, she just ran in there as we were trying to leave. This was the first showing of the day. I look at the front page of the newspaper and later that day these idiots had a full blown protest! It amazes me that people who haven't read a book or seen the movie are running around screaming that it's anti-Catholic, ant-opus dai(sp?), anti-Christian, anti-albino. Well, since for some reason now (in America at least), the news is no longer unbiased. I should not know the religion of any journalist and yet, I can tell you that most of them are Christians. So of course you aren't going to get an honest review from them, they're afraid that they are going to get fired. So here for you all is a very honest review (if you've been reading my blog then you know if it's good I say it, and if it's bad I say it. So here you go:
 
If you only read the book because of the controversy and wouldn't normally read this kind of book, then don't go see the movie. If you liked the book, you'll like the movie. The movie followed the book very closely.
I keep hearing these priest on tv saying that people laughed during the movie. Well, the entire theater laughed on several parts of the movie, because it was intended to be funny. No one laughed during the parts that were supposed to be serious. If you have no sense of humor or are so closed minded that you'll sit there during the entire movie trying to find things to offend you, then don't go see this movie. You'll be bored. There is nothing in this film that's anti-Catholic, anti-Christian and Opus Dai was not shown as a  crazy, violent cult (though if you have a dictionary and look at the word cult, ALL religions are cults, people get angry when I call their religion a cult, but I'm not going to apologize for knowing the true meaning of words that people have taken and turned into something else). It portrayed them as doing what they felt was right. I did not even notice the time so that is not a problem. The pace was smooth. As far as Albino's taking offense to this movie (book) ... people are always going to bitch and moan about anything that has to do with whatever group they are a part of, except me and the few people on this planet who can think for themselves. I watch classic films and don't get offended by the way black people are portrayed, because if black people didn't take the roles that were available to them then, there would be no Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Keith David, Sydney Poiteir(sp?), ect. You can't start at the top, you have to work your way up. Look at Ellen, her show got canceled because she is a lesbian, she kept trying and now she's still a lesbian and has a hit show again. I can't believe the number of idiots who live on this planet. 'The DaVinci Code' probably would not have been as successful and made into a movie if Catholic/Christian heads would not have made such a big deal about it. It's like "hmm? Why are they so afraid of this book? Let me read it and find out." I actually read these types of books so I would have read it anyway, but people that I know who never read anything, read it to find out what the big deal is. I'd like for any Catholic/Christian who was offended by the DaVinci code, to tell me what parts offended you and why. If any Jews are reading this, I'd like for you to tell me what parts of the 'Passion Of Christ' offended you and why. (If you're going to say that there is no evidence that Jesus was married or had a child, let me explain something to you. There is no evidence that Jesus existed. (The Passion Of Christ) if you're going to say it's offensive because it's showing that Jews killed Jesus, let me explain something to you. Jesus was a Jew, he was killed by his own people. Christians who don't believe that Jesus was a Jew are the same idiots who are protesting 'The DaVinci Code')
 
To the idiots who are "outraged" by the DaVinci Code and the thought that Jesus was possibly married and had a child I suggest that maybe you take a history course. If Jesus did marry and have a child, he would have married in his early life and unless there was something wrong with Mary or Jesus' reproductive organs they would have had more that one child by the time Jesus was 33.
 
Most writers would give there left arm to get the kind of free publicity Dan Brown has gotten. The intention was to get people not to read this book and you've went all wrong about it. Had you not said anything, not as many people would have noticed it. If you want something to fail, then ignore it. I'm 26 and know this and yet these 60 and 70 year olds don't.
 
The DaVinci Code -- very entertaining.
 
Remember Japanese people were offended because Chinese actors were used in "Memoirs of a Geisha."
 
STOP BEING SO DAMN SENSITIVE. IT'S ALL JUST ENTERTAINMENT.

I don\'t get these bible pushers anymore. Last year at my sons\' Junior High School, there were jehovahs\' Witnesses out there passing out little bible thingys\' , now that to me isn\'t right. Why do people have to force that issue on you? If I wanted to be a Jehovah or whatever, I WOULD...I am my own person and can make MY own mind up...anyways, I am getting upset at these sad religious freaks over-reacting and will get going...have a great weekend(what\'s left of it anyways)...
