I'll wait until DVD

The NYT says that the movie of "The DaVinci Code" is an Unwieldy, Bloated Puzzle. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so.

Although I haven't seen the movie, I have read the book. It took an interesting premise and churned out schlock of the highest order. This book was written for people who need spoon-feeding, and who like to be told what is happening. I felt like I'd been had after I finished reading the book. Even I could figure out the so-called "code," and I'm horrible at guessing clues in thrillers and mysteries.

I do like that it brings up the concept of the divine feminine and for people who are interested in that aspect, there are better books out there, like "Holy Blood, Holy Grail," and "When God was a Woman." I encourage people to research on their own, and draw their own conclusions.

But, "The DaVinci Code" is fiction. It is possible that the early Catholic Church did suppress the divine feminine. Draw your own conclusions, but don't just read this one book or see this one movie. And, if you're going to be critical of it, at least read the book you're criticizing!
