So, nu? Rita, you saw the movie already?
Yup.
Does it make fun of Catholics?
No.
Does it make fun of anybody?
Nah.
Does it go on too long?
Well, just a tad.
Can you see the ending coming?
Yup.
Was it worth the money?
I didn't have to pay, I went to a critics screening.
Would it be worth the money?
Well, sure, at a matinee. Don't pay premium prices for this
Did you read the book?
Nope.
Would you read the book?
Not first on my stack of books to read, sorry.
Are you compelled to read it?
Well, there was enough suspense and intrigue to keep me from running out and getting popcorn during the movie, and if the book follows the usual patterns of movies, sure, I'd read it.
Was Tom Hanks' hair really as bad as all the "media" would have us believe?
Who cares.
Did he do a good job with this film?
Sure, and without fake boobs or high heels! (Bossom Buddies, anyone?)
What about that pretty female lead?
You mean, Audrey Tautou? She did an ok job.
Bottom line: If you're curious about the film, The DaVinci Code, see it. It won't insult you in your faith, whatever it is. It's clearly a work of fiction. It contains enough slick Hollywood stuff so that you would have to reallly stretch your imagination in order to confuse it with being a Discovery Channel or History Channel production.
And, Hanks comes off as the likeable guy--who, get this.......
Nope, I cannot do it.
That would reveal too much.

Rita, I did read the book and it was...well pretty good. The story has lots of twists and turns so it's an exciting read. Is it art? Well, would you consider Nancy Drew art? Narrative reads about the same.
Nancy Drew got me reading when I was a kid and had trouble learning to read.
I suppose that Nancy Drew books could be considered "art" if one considers "art" as having to engage a person's mind.
But, I'll say someting about Nancy--she isn't Tom Hanks! Would you consider the teenage sleuth noble or just nozy?
