Have you read the "Da Vinci Code"?

[Isildur´s Heir]

The movie cames out Friday (tomorrow, here), so, it´s a legit question.

I didn´t :(
I´m one of the 5 people in the world that didn´t.
What about you?

[y2jversion1]

That makes us 2 of the 5.

[Ronny Shade]

where's the poll!?

no I haven't.


I'll go for Bettany

[R_9]

I have read it, it's entertaining but the ending is a bit boring.

[Addendum]

No.

I just stick with Garth Ennis' Preacher.

[the_ultimate_evil]

no i havent, i have discussed it with my father who has read it. i decided not to so that i can see the film with fresh eyes and not worry about the look and feel being transfered

[Kable24]

I haven't read it.

[The Incredible Hulk]

what is this "reading" you speak of? :confused:

[Mr Sparkle]

LOL, this makes me think of an onion headline from 2 years ago

"airplane crash site littered with copies of "the da vinci code""

[8Ball2/JanG5]

Who cares, the book is supposedly mediocre middle class literature and the movie has HORRIBLE ratings thus far, a 20 percent on rotten tomatoes. Who cares about this story at all?

[Mr Sparkle]

"I started bu gave up?" who "gives up" on reading a book?
Like you start speaking in that weird cadence that superheroes get when they are faced with their one weakness.

"must....turn.....page......must....find...out....i f......he ....will....have....green....eggs.....and....ham.. ...can't.........."

[Immortalfire]

I'm reading it now, in fact.

[Iceman]

I've started but not finished yet. It's very good so far.

The film has got pretty poor reviews which is surprising.

[The Dude]

I read it and liked it alot. I'm going to see the movie to. Most likely not this weekend though because it will be insane

[The Chairman]

No, I hate books.

[Darth Elektra]

Yes, and its one of my favorite books.

[Spidey-Bat]

Nope. I haven't read a novel on my own free will for 2 years. Hell, I don't think I've read a novel period for 2 years. I have an interest to read the Da Vinci Code, but not the patience.

[Leto Atrides]

Are you ****ting me? Just so you know, this comes of as, "I'll not stoop down to the entertainment of the unwashed masses". No offense, just saying :D.

And as far as the Da Vinci Code goes, I read it and liked it. I had read Angels and Demons (which I thought was better) before anyone heard of Dan Brown, but I didn't read te Da Vinci Code until it was a big sensation. It was a good book, though as I said I prefer Angels and Demons. It annoys me how seriously people take it though.

[Carter]

Si, yo leo

[StorminNorman]

I have never seen the movie, but I will go see it Opening Day for one man: Paul Thane Bettany

[Erundur]

Yes I have read the book, I personally thought that it was an okay book nothing to great about it. I thought Dan Brown's other book "Angels and Demons" was far better IMO :up:

[Equinox]

The movie is getting really bad reviews! :(

[Equint77]

lol.. the critics at Cannes said they laughed during and walked out before the credits.

[Equinox]

I cant beleive they laughed at one of the main scenes toward the end of the movie... You can never laugh at Tom Hanks' acting :mad:

[Spidey-Bat]

The movie is getting really bad reviews! :(

Wow. It's at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even CINO didn't get that bad a score.

[Addendum]

Start a war over it :D

[Darth Elektra]

This movie is gonna rock! Tom Hanks with Ron Howard... Can't get no better!

[Equinox]

This movie is gonna rock! Tom Hanks with Ron Howard... Can't get no better!

Yeah I sure wish :up:

[Equinox]

Start a war over it :D

Cant beleive that people in India are going on Hunger strikes over a movie...

Well, atleast that would mean some fat ass not eating his food, and it being available to some homeless hungry people..

Ok Im not making sense :confused:

[Addendum]

I don't know many fat Indians

[Equinox]

I don't know many fat Indians

You just need to look at the policemen from the south, my friend :D ;)

[Themanofbat]

I read the grown up version of that book... "The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail". :up:

A much superior book. :cool:

:)

I'm talking of the country where I come from.. India...

So it would be the first picture..

[Leto Atrides]

I read the grown up version of that book... "The Holy Blood & The Holy Grail".

A much superior book.

Wasn't a novel though. Apples and oranges.

However, Dan Brown did pretty much grab most of his ideas from that book, apparently with no intention of admitting it.

[The Undertaker]

He did credit the book though.

[Darthphere]

Read the book and thought it was average.

[TheDarkKnight_NL]

havent read it

[Batty for Bats!]

I read it and thought it was good. Nothing great though. Just a good book.

[Kmack]

I read and LOVED the book. Too bad the movie is getting really bad reviews:down

[Mee]

What about you?
Nope. But I plan to see the movie.

[Equinox]

I read and LOVED the book. Too bad the movie is getting really bad reviews:down

you planning to watch the movie?

[dpm07]

I read this book as well as Angels & Demons, and Holy Blood, Holy Grail. I've actually read a number of books relating to the topic of Templars, Rennes Le Chatteau, and other issues relating to the topic.

[The Ether]

Read it loved it. Best thing about it is that the chapters are so short so you it don't feel like a chore at times.

[bored]

Not read it, don't give a **** about it. I avoid things that become controversial. They tend to disappoint.

[Addendum]

I would have picked up a copy and read it, but when something is popular, I have a natural tendency to avoid it

[Galactus]

I read the book and didn't like it. The biggest problem in my opinion being the characters that feels just as flat as in any average Hollywood-movie. And if I don't care about the characters I don't care about the story. The most overrated piece of boredom I have read

[Abaddon]

The Catholic Church is behind the bad reviews.

[The Riddler]

i have not but if the movie is interesting i will.

[Socrates]

I plan on reading it, but not until after I finish everything else I have at the moment.

Usually I read books the movies are based on after I see them, anyway.

[Spider-X]

i just finished reading it about 3 days ago...i thoroughly enjoyed it. It keeps you hooked because just about every chapter ends with a friggen cliffhanger...like a comic book.
