Thanks, Bob

Look. It's a lovely $200 million film. (Please see other comments on IMDb for more exhaustive reviews.) The book was an exhilarating page-turner of a read that's sold over 60 million copies worldwide.
That's all intriguing, money making, fascinating, mind-boggling, blasphemous, heretical, controversial and stuff.
But, underlying the entire mega-enterprise that has become "The Da Vinci Code," it turns out - after all the murders, self-flagellations,
barbed-wire celices, ritual orgies, car chases, hidden symbols in paintings, architectural revelations - the esoteric secret of "the Holy
Grail" concealed for centuries by the Catholic Church is - literally - getting a piece of pussy?
THIS is the inside scoop that's supposed to shake the foundations of Christianity?
For this I shelled out $24.95 to Dan Brown and Doubleday and another $10.00 to Opie and Columbia?
Jeez. Bob
