OT: It's a BUST guys: DA VINCI
isabelle:
Just read an article in my favourite (French) newspaper, a satirical paper. I haven't read the DV code, haven't seen the film, and don't intend to do neither. But I think I am after all grateful for their existence and huge success, if only because the Vatican and its clowns are sh*tting themselves.
Apparently, they are asking all 'good Christians' not to sit and turn the other cheek, but to retaliate. (Isn't it funny how the Catholic church, like any other, will forget what they preach, when their power seems to be threatened? Just like when they burnt down cinemas in France and Germany, maybe elsewhere too, when Scorsese's "Last Temptation of Christ" was shown).
They are alarmed to hear that polls in the US and France show that christians are beginning to doubt the Catholic faith because of that story. So now, in the name of faith, the RCC is asking Christians NOT to believe that story!
Well, at least they get a taste of what atheists feel when they say the Bible and the Gospels are just nice works of fiction that do not need to be believed!

$77 million weekend....the biggest opening so far this year and the 13th highest ever!
It also made $147 million overseas....
Doing pretty good despite the critical like or dislike....but as you said...next weekend will be the real judge...there is absolutely no way that it will come in #1 with X-3 opening but it will easily squeeze in #2....so we'll see...

Doesn't surprise me a bit. Bet there's a lot of butt shifting happening in those seats and queries of "how long is this anyway?" by the midpoint. Guess this is one film where you can understandably turn the other cheek and ignore the audience snoring and heavy sighs.
True, the trailer for X is stunning but let's not forget the huge YUCK factor, and we all know what that is: Brett. Ratner.
