    Well, here are people called 'top manta', that means, a guy on the streets selling pirated movies, they have the movies spread out on a sheet and whenever they see cops, they just pull some strings and... run!!
    So that's why even here, you can buy a copy of the movie right the next day of the première.

    @kuemper, nope and it's called warez. I simply did not want to give another dime to Dan Brown and still be able to say "The movie sucked".
    I've read the book and felt so ripped off that he just owes me money. :p

    Back to the movie:
    ******* Spoiler, your eyes must skip this paragraph if you want to be dissapointed ****
    Did anyone else noticed that he just dumped the bad guy in the middle of the book? There is hardly any mention of this guy before he appears and how he is related to the grail. It feels like a standard episode of Scooby Doo. I can almost hear Gandalf say "I would've gone away with it, if it weren't for you meddling Hobbits."

    Dan Brown also chose a bad source for his information on the grail, everyone knows that the grail is hidden in the castle of Aaaarrrrghhh. :D

    How can you say that? She looks *amazingly* hot! Not to mention her role in the book/film is a French Cryptologist...which means she would have to dress as a professional while at work (which is where she's coming from when her character first comes in to the story.
    Sure, they didn't do a porno scene, but considering there was only one sex scene in the book...which was handled very well in the movie, I think I saw everything I expected to see from Audrey Tautou. :thumb: May I kindly remind you that the movie isn't about smut. ;)

    *sniff* *sniff*

    I don't smell anything except the ‘identifiable odor’ of pretentiousness. Assuming I'm an atheist is a no-no... :nono:
    But this is :yot: ...go to the AoDA to whine about religion.

    Ah, I was waiting for that one... :shake: :thumb:

    You can't have a discussion on the Holy Grail and not add a Monty Python line. :lol: :rolling:
