# I went for a gander at the Da Vinci Code film set at Lincoln Cathedral today.

I felt a bit naughty as I haven't read it, but the set looks stunning. For more photos, please click here with all your might.

# is that
Rosslyn? It does not matter, they can film anywhere,. Rosslyn is small enough to be re-constructed. Besides, Rosslyn has whored itself to the media in the past and cavorts naked for the documentaries about knights templar and the holy grail. Sheer hypocrisy if they denied filming. And anyway, Lincoln cathedral has nothing to do with Brown's book. As I said, they can film anywhere. Nobody will be watching it for the correct religious settings. After all, they'll hardly be swanning around the basillica with their film cameras will they?

# ooh
they are making a film? Good. I really can't comprehend why people slag this book off, it is ingeniously written. Cleverly constructed and above all a fantastic modern mystery thriller. Just because the American Bible bashing mid west are up in arms is no reason to jump on the Da Vinci bashing bandwagon. Here's a fact for you. It's fiction, it claims to be nothing else.
Film will be a blockbuster I expect. I can't wait to download it ;)
If Clive Cussler can say of it ".....one of the best mysteries I have ever read..." then I'll not take too much worth from illiterate b3tans slagging off a book because they dislike the subject matter.

EDIT:/ The prequel, Angels and Demons is an even
better read.

Edit:/ Not the prequel but rather the story written previously in the adventures of the main character.

# I tend to
find Foucault condescending and a little insulting at times. Besides, the only people who read him usually are grad students because they have to, and pompous 'literati' who need to be able to drop his name into conversations at cocktail parties. I just launch into them with Goethe and tell them to get to fuck.
As I said already, it's a moot point. It's all subjective. I happen to like varied writings. I particularly loved the first and second chronicles of Thomas Covenant the unbeliever and I've had some ding dong fights with tolkien nazis on those two subjects.

# You launch into them with Goethe?

I don't understand how anyone who knows Goethe
could be a fan of Dan Brown. Just because
pompous fucks like Eco doesn't make it bad.
Personally, I prefer Arturo Perez-Reverte over
Eco, lighter style and better dialog and great irony.
But Dan Brown gives me the shuddering heebie-jeebies...

# I was misled.
I'm afraid I can't comment on Eco as I have never read any of it. I was referring to a guy called Michel Foucault who was a pompous, condescending twat.
Horses for courses. I read anything and everything I can get my hands on, what I like is what appeals to me at the time. Some adults like Harry Potter, yet I for one could never comprehend reading children's stories stolen from classical mythology.

# Uhhhm, nope.
I don't give a toss about the so-called 'contraversy' - it's been done before, and better.

No, it's just a really, really badly-written book. Dialogue sucks. Characterisation sucks. This Harvard professor (or whatever he is) gets stumped by Da Vinci's backwards writing? Give me a break.

And the characters! You can hear Dan Brown plotting them out
"Hero, well he had to be American, I mean, of course"
"And a French chick who, being French will be spunky and sexy as everyone knows all French chicks are"
"French guy - he's a dick"
"English guy - gay"



Just really annoyed me.

# It's all
subjective I suppose. I found it well written. I write myself and have read countless ( worthless really, ) books about creative structure. It does what it says on the cover and is exactly what it purports to be. If it claimed to be litererary genius I would have a differing opinion. I'ts a modern day whodunnit and cleverly set up IMO.
