Superfunkomatic - Observations of the Socially Inept

unfortunately, when things have enormous hype they’re usually not all they are cracked up to be. case in point - the davinci code.

i haven’t read the book, but if it’s is even remotely like the new film starring tom hanks it’s less than specatular. i’ve heard people raving about this new book, and was a bit sceptical. now i know why.

saw the movie last night and honestly i can see why christians (which i am not) are a bit pissy. it basically calls into question fundamental beliefs of christianity. but, whoah, get a grip people - it’s a MOVIE. those people moving around on the screen, they aren’t real people it’s called a movie. but nevertheless it does look like reality. and for most of them who have no concept of popular culture or real life, i’m sure this can be confusing.

frankly, if this was a code, it wouldn’t have lasted 25 seconds with anyone beyond the intelligence of a grade-school mathematician. the plot and “great secret” was abundantly clear minutes into the movie.

honestly, i spent more time trying to figure out how much liquid my bladder could continue to hold, and how long it would be before i pissed my pants after drinking two behemoth drinks. let’s see - three hours (that’s the length of the movie), divided by 2.5 litres of diet coke, and carry the one… you get the picture. now that my friends is a code or problem worthy of davinci.

great mysteries are tough to solve, this movie is like a crossword puzzle from the kids section of the local paper. 60 million people can’t be wrong, or can they… poor leonardo, likely rolling in his grave.
