This week's pop culture milestone:

Whining Albinos, pissed-off popes, cynical cinema magpies and cranky Cannes critics, all crapping on the Code...DaVinci's, that is.

The way they're carrying on, you'd think Mel Gibson made it, not Opie.

Like it or not, it's gonna be Large.

Drudge (yeah, I know, so shoot me) is all over it, and posted all the links so I don't have to.

UPDATE: Just saw it. In a word, "Ho-hum." My kid liked it though. but he didn't read the book. Hanks and Tautou were completely wrong for this.

Doug,

Thanks for pointing me to Agonist. It's a good place to think. Gee, no one quotes Shakespeare on my blog!

Hey, it wouldn't be the first time Hanks was miscast. Remember Bonfire of the Vanities?

Glad to have you. This joint is a good place to, as Alice said (via Grace Slick), "Feed your head."
