Nay, the next movie I see will be Snakes on a Plane. It promises to be a cinematic tour de force.
bttt
I'm sure they thank you.
C'mon Tom, fess up. You work for Sony Pictures.
Good glory - he was even sued by contemporary writers, Leigh and Baigent, for "stealing their ideas" from their NON-fiction book: Holy Blood, Holy Grail."
Altho' a bogus suit to begin with as one cannot copyright ideas - and they lost their shirts as the judge told them just that - it should have clued some of the clueless to the fact that the 'ideas' in Brown's books did not come from him...
These "ideas" have been around for 2000 years...and even, currently, there are many other books - Nonfictional now in print that go into much deeper detail and list bibliographies...
One in particular, that got Brown started, was the book "The Woman with the Alabaster Jar" (dare I say it again, NON-fiction)written by a life long Catholic with an impressive bio.
Yet nowhere have I heard a hue and cry about these authors and their claims in their NON-fiction books. Curious>
Is it that people just aren't reading that much anymore?
For those who might have an individual mind, it might be interesting to check out some of the NON-fiction books.
the aforementioned "the Woman With..." by Margaret Starbird, is a great starting point - and then moving on to Sir Laurence Gardner's books, etc.
(Starbirds' bio: Margaret Starbird holds BA and MA degrees from the University of Maryland where she concentrated in comparative literature, medieval studies and German language, studies she pursued on a Fulbright Student Grant at the Christian Albrechts Universitat in Kiel, Germany. She taught German language at the University of Maryland for four years and for one year at North Carolina State University. She later studied at Vanderbilt Divinity School in Nashville, TN. She has lived and traveled extensively in Europe including pilgrimages to Black Madonna and Mary Magdalene shrines and Cathar citadels in Provençe." her web site:

Here's a stained glass window in a church in Europe - longggg before Brown was born.
For all those demanding 'truth' - maybe you should stop blaming/crediting Brown with these "ideas" - it ain't true
I will bet if any one of these people that say they do not have faith are the first ones up offering prayers to God when something goes wrong.
They don't understand how sustaining faith is; our comforting it is. I can't imagine a life without it.
This book/movie is just the beginning of the emerging of new (old) truth, however imperfect, that will challenge the creeds of orthodox western religion, which in my opinion, is due for a large overhaul.
