Listening to:Cannon Ball, Damien Rice
Thinking of:
Over the past week or so, as much as Ron Howard is being faced with the wrath of critics and Dan Brown is once again under fire from religious groups (surprise, surprise)and others, I'm quite fed up with the whole
"Take it as fiction"
"Burn it, burn it!"
not to mention the whole religious bashing.
Anyhow, in point form
1. It's a free country, watch the film at your own peril
2. We all know the arguments about the bible, torah, quran and the scientology thing and the religions that go along with these books... so let's just leave it alone shall we.
However, I do believe that people should be capable of making sound, informed judgements on whatever they see on the big screen and tale presented. I'm quite glad that though the Church is screaming blesphamy, there aren't vast protests and calls for so and so to resign as seen earlier in the year with the cartoons of Prophet Muhammad.
Just adding my 2 cents.
On the film? Hanks was kinda lame... but thank goodness for Sir Ian! The book was marginally better and Ron Howard exercised his creative ability rather badly, unfortunately. Otherwise, rather decent.
Winners? Definitely Dan Brown, there's no such thing as bad publicity for him in this case.
