The Da Vinci Code cometh!

Lookin' tough
Sorry. I got carried away.
The latest issue of Empire magazine has a big spread on the upcoming movie in it, complete with boring pictures and equally boring interviews. Tom Hanks looks like a lump of turd in a suit. Audrey Tatou looks like she'd rather be somewhere else. Ron Howard's eyes are glinting with the reflection of his incoming massive bank balance. It's hard to say if I'm interested in the movie... I can't tell what my opinion is anymore because it has been drowned out by a million other opinions... yes, that's right, everyone's got one and they'll share it with you whether you want to hear it or not.

and, my favourite...
"It's true, Jesus had to be a normal man, I think the book is true... no, I haven't read it"
I can't even tell if I'll go and see the film. I've never been more indifferent to a book in my entire life. And yes, that includes the Yellow Pages. Would that it didn't! OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH... sorry.

Besides, just like reading the book, Harry Potter, or having a rudimentary knowledge of Big Brother or Australian Idol, it's social currency.
You can't avoid it - the best you can do is cheat. And if you still haven't READ the Da Vinci Code, take my approach to Harry Potter: make banal and inconclusive statements about anything that wasn't in the film =P
