Movie thoughts
May. 20th, 2006 10:28 amWent to see The Da Vinci Code with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sandman7 because my work gave me two free passes. Otherwise I'd probably have given the whole thing a pass. I love going tp the movies with him: it's a hoot.
The movie is, well, not very exciting. It's reasonably faithful to the book, except that they made the lead female into an absolute idiot who can't figure out anything for herself. That annoyed me, especially since the story is theoretically about reclaiming the sacred feminine, blah blah blah.
Also, the fact that all the characters seem to be able to pontificate for hours on end while being pursued by people intent on either murdering or incarcerating them just blows my mind. Seriously, if you're being pursued by a murderous albino monk, is the uppermost thing in your mind going to be Da Vinci's use of symbology in his paintings to depict the sacred feminine? I know that if it were me, I'd be a gibbering wreck of fear, thinking pretty much only of how not to die.
Finished "Supersize Me" before the DVD player shat itself and died. That is a terrifying movie: everything you ever thought about McDonald's is not only true, it's worse than you thought.
