more heathens than you can shake a stick at

So our brilliant idea was to go see The DaVinci Code at 9am on a Sunday morning. The reasoning, of course, was that there would be far fewer people. Not so, mon frere, not so. I was pretty surprised at the number of folks who had the same idea we had--and that they were not detained by church. Of course A) maybe they had special early services today so that they could all come out en masse and see what all the fuss was about and B) I constantly forget--and am thusly reminded--that we no longer live in the buckle of the bible belt...

At any rate, we saw the movie with a hundred-plus other folk and no bonfires were lit; nor were any rotten tomatoes thrown at the screen. It was a decent film. It should not surprise me that I didn't enjoy it as much as the book, but I think they did a good job with the content. I especially appreciate that there is a VERY fuzzy line between good and evil amongst the characters. I think naysayers should be force-fed this film; they might realise that they are creating more of an issue out of it than would ever had arisen if they'd just pipe the hell down and let folks create a nice work of fiction.

Anyway. As though you needed it...evidence of why I'm not a film reviewer. : )

I'm still fiddling with the new digi-cam, so you'll have to continue your wagers and guessing as to which photos will be uploaded first. It's a damn complicated machine for being such a tiny point-and-shoot thing. It does movies too, which should be entertaining once I figure them out as well. Maybe you'll finally get to see evidence of the Bucket & Delilah freak show known as "Dentist Time".
