That 2006 Movie with a Long-Haired Tom Hanks and Amelie
The Da Vinci Code film comes out this week. I heard it got panned at Cannes. All you need to know is that Ian McKellan is the standout performance there and, more importantly and the reason why I made this thread, there is ONE melodramatic line that Hanks utters that got the Cannes crowd catcalling and whatnot for a good while. Maybe it'll be obvious enough, but viewers, speculate on what line that could've been! GOOD DAY.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Dammit, I wish I had read the book a bit more recently so I would remember possible lines for hilarity.
Personally, I loved the book so I can't wait to see the movie, but I'm not looking forward to dealing with all the fucking protests when I'm at work. I swear to god I'll get those Jesus freaks arrested if they fuck with my theater. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Well I haven't read the book, and I don't know if I will see the film...however I think it is..so retarded that the religious people are getting so hurt and angry over this movie. Now I haven't read the book, my mom has though and in the book it the only thing that IS real is and I quote: "artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals" Other than that...everything is fictional, yet this movie is blasphemous? Oh please, the bottom line is..the Catholic Church doesn't want to be looked even more as a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Audrey Tautou is one sexy, sexy lady, and for that I cannot fully dismiss this film. And Ron Howard, for the most part, makes very good films.
Hopefully this will not be a stinker. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Book was a page turner, but poorly written. I do not have much hope for this film. Great cast though.
I was speaking idiomatically. >: 4 8 15 16 23 42 Long Live Lost LiveJournal: Latest Entry: My Political Leanings. Latest JOURNAL Entry: ITE: I review the latest album by The Guillemots (also, exam results) |
FACT: The Philippines gave the movie an X rating. That little tidbit gave me a chuckle.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FACT: Audrey Tautou is a goddess and any she is the primary reason that I will see the film. Anything beyond her that is good is simply a bonus.
FELIPE NO I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |
Guess you saw Dirty Pretty Things and A Very Long Engagement then?
How ya doing, buddy? |
No, I saw Amelie.

I still haven't read the book, and i'm currently fighting a feirce fight in my head whether or not i should go see the movie or not. I really want to read the book first, but i also really want to see the movie.
It's a pickle for sure. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I dunno if even the power of Audrey will compel me to see this. The book was awful and the movie looks worse.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Oh, but Paul Bettany whipping, nay, PUNISHING himself? HOTNESS.

Most likely, I'll go see the movie. I never got around to reading the book, but judging about how much 'ballyhoo' was raised after its release and subsequent time on the bestseller list (like what, a year or something), people will be talking about it. A lot, I imagine.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
And of course Amelie was a great fun movie. It's a shame to see this film go down in flames when the cast is so good. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I don't have high hopes for this at all, to be honest.
I read the book, and it was bloody awesome, but then the ending was like.....the intense build up to an extreme orgasm that will never come. Regardless, I'm going to see it tonight. FELIPE NO |
I'm not expecting that much either, but it'll at least be interesting to see it acted out. I liked the book (and I also thought the ending was shit), so I'd just like to see their take on it.
A film version of Angels And Demons would rock ten times more, but of course they'd also have ten times the crap coming from the Vatican etc. Shame. D: How ya doing, buddy? my generation's lost its patience playing with the world within
accelerated saturation out of our minds on saccharin

I'm interested to see the movie, simply because I think the book lends itself more to a theatrical setting than a literary one. Dan Brown is a bad writer. A bad, bad writer. The code aspect was fun, but the character development was poor, to say the least. I was hoping that the script for the movie wouldn't borrow too much from the book, but it seems like these hopes will be fruitless.
As for making a movie version of Angels and Demons, ew. Just plain ew. That book has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I slogged my way through it out of boredom and shock. "No, seriously. Are you really wiritng this? Is this happening? Are people BUYING this book? omfg." Nevermind the bad character development for this one. The plot was so ridiculous that I felt like I was getting dumber with every passing page. Spoiler:
Yeah, so I kind of vented a little there. In conclusion, I hope the Da Vinci Code is a better movie than it was a book, and I hope Angels and Demons gets erased from the face of the planet and the memory of mankind. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Good book, bad movie, what else is new? This movie was overhyped from the get-go, I'm just a little disappointed because I hate seeing yet another movie with Jean Reno getting axed by the critics.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Also, I'm not looking forward to the movie at all. It wasn't that good of a book and here in AUstralia, there is an advertisement or TV tie-in every 2 seconds. I've never see a moving promoted this much before. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Never read the book, but my francophile of a sister worships Audrey Tautou so I'll probably go see the movie with her. Plus I kind of love Ian McKellan.
What I'm mostly interested in is the possible amount of protests that different churches are going to hold. I hate that so many people make such a big deal out of this book. It doesn't say anything that historians haven't already said. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Fuck you assholes |
You guys should see the boards at imdb for this movie. That place is turning into a religious board. People find every single excuse to make religious debates about it.
FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
The Catholica are up in arms about this movie. Ron Howard directed it. The catholics shouldn't be suprised. In one episode of the Andy Griffith show, Opie has a line...which if played backwards Opie can be heard saying "Satan rules"..its freaky...Opie the omen.
