this is the second day in a row I've had to start your silly daily thread! for shame!

I think I know where all you slackers are

 

After DisneyLand we went and watched "The Davinchi Code". I actually liked it, some of the "explaining" that they did, went way to fast so it didn't really give you time to absord what they where trying to say. I can see how it pissed off the retarded hardcore christians though...

 

i saw davinci code with some friends tonight after going to dinner at chilis where a good majority of us got **** faced and were explaining sexual acts in a very loud manor so as to **** off people at the tables around us. it was quite funny. the movie kicked ***. im gonna try and get some of my catholic and christian friends to go see it. maybe they'll learn something.

 

oh, and i hit 950 miles on the car tonight. so it looks like ill be rolling over the 1k mark on monday.

so ill probably be swingin by DB-Tuned with some amber colored, thick fluid stuff that is supposed to go in the engine or some ****...... hmmmm, maybe Paul will know.....

You do realize it's pure fiction, right?

For myself, the book (and therefore the movie) **** me off from a purely historical sense. There are too many inaccuracies in the history within the book and that just irks me. I guess that's what comes from having a minor in Medieval Studies and I'm sure most folks won't even notice those little things. But to me, I just roll my eyes and I can't get wrapped up in the story any longer. At least if you are going to develop a story like this, go to the effort to make it believeable and really make people question their belief system.

What even irks me more are some of the people that I've seen interviewed after watching the movie saying they learned so much they didn't know. That's like saying , "I didn't know there were mutants among us", or "I didn't know monkeys could grow so large." It's a friggin work of fiction, and one full of hostorical inaccuracies at that.

Anyways, good morning everyone.

 

The book was marketed as fiction though. I think the reason it's getting to so many people is that it deals with sensitive topics, such as Jesus, the church, etc. It is unfortunate that so many people are taking the story as fact. The movie, nor book were in any way marketed as a documentary or even being loosely "based" on a true story.

I read the book and liked it, though I could see how someone who truly knew the history would be bothered by how unbelievable the story was to them. It's like on 24 when they "upload files to the subnet", that **** pisses me off .

 

I get a kick out of how Opus Dei, other Catholics and history buffs are dealing with this. Welcome to my world whenever a military movie comes out, especially movies that people accept as a historical lesson or an inside look of military life (Jarhead, Basic, even Blackhawk Down in a lot of respects). This is one of the main reasons I go fake hunting after the debut of a major military movie (I’ve got a system). The amount of verification requests military background checking services get nearly doubles after the release of such movies.


Like so many people before that watch military movies and other movies like F9/11 for educational purpose, I plan to dumb myself up a little before seeing The Davinci Code this afternoon just so I can walk out having learned something "factual". I'll be sure to PM Egan with my findings.

 

you should change the threat title people well good moring.

what's up with all the damn drama in the classifieds?

eh, it's fiction. why would people believe a fiction movie. it's like going to watch king kong and believeing that actually happened.

 

I agree with you Egan, but in Dan Brown's defense (not sure if this is good or bad), his wife actually has her masters or PhD in Art History. He just asked her a few questions and came up with the story. . . basically..

 

morning... can't really say it is a good morning, have to drive down to Vallejo for a Funeral for a close family friend.... and then this last Friday my Grandfather passed away, hence why I was not at the meet. And his Funeral is going to be wednesday. A lot of death recently, and this really sucks... However I still have my niece and nephew to bring up my spirits.



Soon I will be back on the forums more frequently, I am still without a computer.

 

links to said drama

 

oh, my head

 

check out the post about selling a sti axle back. (im not on a computer) its from a srtvicious or somethink like that. trying to sell a axle back for more the street priced. people began the flame war

 

^^^ That's the part that bothers me. We all know it was meant as fiction, but there truly are people out there that take it as fact.

Anyways, it's raining out. I think a trip to Home Depot is in order to get some electrical supplies to install the outdoor ceiling fan on the deck.
