Da Vinci code

[The Man]

The subject matter was interesting but the plot was horrible and the characters were bland.

Quoted for truth. You'd probably get a lot more information by reading the books he mentions in whatever chapter, but I've read a couple of them and they're incredibly dense reading.

Of course, I pretty much stopped caring about religion entirely about two years ago, so I probably wouldn't really enjoy even that so much if I reread it.

Ahahaha.

Chapter 57: eestlinc drinks a soda

eestlinc bought a soda and drank it. When he was done, he saw something that made him jump.

The can fell to the ground.

Chapter 58: Miriel and Raistlin in the mystery cave

'Did you hear that?' said Miriel

'No,' said Raistlin.

'Ok.'

'Where do we go now?'

'Let's look over there,' replied Miriel, brushing some of her golden locks away from her eyes.

'WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?'

Raistlin's flashlight fell to the ground.

Chapter 59: In which the background of the soda can is recanted

Chapter 60: Code-a Cola

'Look, there's some writing on the can,' said The Man as he gazed upon it gazingly.

'What do you think it is doc?'

'Hm,' said Dr Unne, 'look at this symbol here:

EXP 051206

This is obviously a code of some sort. Maybe a combination of some sort.'

'Perhaps it will lead us to the lost artifact of Jesus!' said the bumbling and unassuming guy that isn't explained much but obviously has a sinister side and what do you know he ends up being behind it all.

'First I must decipher this code. Let me try taking the square root of the number, then multiplying it by it's natural log, followed by the sum of it's digits, and lets make that into a series which we will extrapolate to the tenth term and then add those to the total of hits gotten by the 1963 Red Sox, followed by the number of strands of hair on Jesus's head in this painting that I happened to bring along, and divide it all by the phone number of this secret society I belong to...'

Angels and Deamons was better.

WELL??? what does it all mean!? I can't sleep without knowing!

Now that's just not true.

which part of it is not true?

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

The fact that if it's a best-seller, then it must be good. That's like saying that the top ten boxoffice movies are always good, quality movies. It's just not true.

[Twisted Tinkerbell]

Personally I didn't like it, I found it boring. And about the films thing two words Wedding Crashers, that film sucked ass!

Actualy, it is. If the majority of people like a book or movie, then it is safe to say that its good, even if I personaly didnt like it.

"Actually," it isn't. Whether a book or movie is good or not good is ALWAYS opinion, even when it comes to the classics. A lot of other factors influence the success of a film or book, such as marketing, subject, time of release, word of mouth, etc... For example, the movie Wild Wild West was PHENOMENAL at the box office, but MOST people hated it. This disproves your idea of a movie or book necessarily being good if many people like it or if it is successful.

This is probably also true for Final Fantasy VII and VIII. Since VII came out first, many people prefer it to VIII, but it is VIII that is the better game overall.

yes,of course,but best-sellers and box-office hits use EXPERT opinion (ie film critics,book reviewers,etc) and opinion of the PUBLIC that is positive.im not saying that everyone will like them,and im not saying they are perfect,but to some extent,they have to be good in the opinion of the critics and the public.

[Lychon]

EXPERT opinion is still opinion, and many times they contradict each other. Many blockbusters have recieved horrible reception by reviewers and film critics, but the public has loved them. And the idea that because they are successful means they HAVE to be good does not make any sense to me- this is an opinion and if you can prove it then it will be fact. But until then, a movie which is successful or even well-recieved does not denote that it is definitely GOOD, because the idea of what is good and what is not good is opinion.

E.g.: I think Star Wars is GOOD, but other people hate it.
