# A very strange thing happened the other day.
I was watching a film and it actually made me wish I had watched The Da Vinci Code instead....

Very sad.

# hold on
let me read that again... no - what? Have you SEEN the DVC? My missus made me go and see it and she wasn't allowed to pick films for 6 months afterwards.

# Yes, I have.
But the film I saw was fucking worse, despite the fact that it had Johnny Depp and Frank Langella in and was directed by Roman Polanski.

# JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST
the only think I could think of to remote redeem DVC was that a) it featured Roslin and Edinburgh \o/ and 2) it was likely to be the low point in cinema movie talking film

Yeah, well. I learned.

# This was exactly the thinking me and my dad had
when we sat down to watch it.

Forget the statutory rape, making that film was a bigger crime from Polanski.

# Really?
I thought it was ok for the first bit of the film, but as soon as he got to Europe it just turned into a farce. It was fucking horrendous IMO. It was like Polanski was trying to make some hybrid of a Hitchcock film and a Dennis Wheatley book. And failing spectacularly.
