chronic-what-cles of narnia

I went to the da vinci code today with don. we went to st anthony main. what a cute movie theatre. with reclining,velvet seats, no ads or trivia before and a nice blue color.
sorry, the last movie i went to was brokeback mountain, and before that it was wedding crashers last summer.
but onto the movie.
I tried not to read the book for a while. i though as an art history major and religoius studies minor that i would be unable to find any value in the book. but i read it and i was captivated by it. it really was impossible to set down. I also thought the movie was great.
sure there were some lame things, like way too much silas, but generally it did pretty well considering it had a lot of possibilities to suck. I was also pleasantly surprised by Ian McClellan, i had no idea he was in the movie, and his part was major. Despite being so long, it really felt that it went fast. I also really appreciated that they didn't even have the part where Robert and Sofie kiss at the end. that would have been just way too trite.
The movie ended with a major question that it didn't answer. i liked that there was ambiguity in that question. questions are so great.... part of my really nerdy side came through, and I noticed that a lot of information they used was wrong, specifically concerning constantine and the ecumenical councils.
even that was fogiveable because the movie and novel have asked many questions and sparked a dialogue. unfortunately with the strong sense of fundamentalism in this country there is no room for polemics or debates in many demoninations..


in other news, I have been really digging on scissor sisters lately. i've had them for a year,and just now started listening.
they're a good combo of maroon five and jamiroquai, just better.
