OT: It's a BUST guys: DA VINCI

[rtprod]

huh? I was talking about myself! You take my breath away, babe! LOL 
Well, I'm pretty short for breath on cam, for sure 

How about, bite my lip for me and I'll consider shutting up! 

Oh, sorry, could have sworn you were making allusions but I guess that's just not like you.   Yep, I'm your own personal masked hero.  Wait, that sounds familiar...?

Thanks for the compliment babe...  And I was talking about you, didn't you know?   

Short for breath on the cam, eh, can't say I didn't notice.  It's all that chain (cigarette) smoking you subject yourself to...

Yeah, Phil, for some reason there's a little sadistic pleasure to be had in this belllyflop.

Well, although it's a critical bust, it remains to be seen how it'll affect the box office, especially in it's first weekend.  I read somewhere that the book has been selling better than ever, and there's still a lot of anticipation for the film.  It's just too bad that Ron Howard seems to have ruined it.

I think despite the critical like or dislike it will open big....lots of people expecting between 80-100 million...

It'll open big because of the controversy and because of Tom Hanks....

[JCinNYC2006]

Yeah, there were those estimates that it would open bigger than Spiderman or something.  That looks unlikely now with the review, but it will probably still do well it's first weekend.  If I'm bored I will probably see it, but I haven't gone to a Ron Howard movie since I think Apollo 13.  I think.

Yep.....bets were 4/1 or something like that saying it would gross 120 million this weekend beating Spidermans 114 million and 2/1 saying that it will gross 100 million...

So the reviews might damper that a little but it will still be big!

Eye nose who you were talking about!  Smoking? I haven't smoked a cigarette in my life, you know that! Other things, yes, but not a cigarette. 

Everyone, play me...too.  lol

*raises my hand* Oh, I will, I will!!

Watched the news on TV last night about the critics' reactions in Cannes to this film... Apparently they hated it. They laughed at some point when it was NOT meant to be funny. I haven't read the book, didn't want to, but was wondering whether I'd go see it, what with all the hype. So it's overhyped then.
I'll keep my money to go and watch "Transamerica" instead, which has just been released here. AND maybe go back to see "C.R.A.Z.Y", which unfortunately is going to go unnoticed with DA VINCI coming out at the same time.
Da Vinci C overhyped and bad. C.R.A.Z.Y=no hype, and excellent!
Life (or the world of movies) is unfair.
rt, have you seen C.R.A.Z.Y? (Not being released in the States, but still, since you are in the know...)

If you really want to know about the Da Vinci Code mystery, read The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln. It's the book Dan Brown took the idea from (the authors even sued him for plagiarism but lost). It's much better actually, more interesting than Dan Brown's but it's not a novel, it's an investigation they made on the subject. I'm sure you can find it at any library or book store in France. BTW there's a lot about France in that book.
