So I watched the Da Vinci Code last night with Dy and Tby. One word - boring. I had bought the book in India for a cool 60 rupees but never got round to finishing it. It was waaaaaay too yawn-inducing. I don’t really fancy detailed plots. I like engaging thrillers by John Grisham and Steve Martini but Dan Brown’s stuff is too much for me. The movie was just blah. Especially the beginning - could it be any more long winded? It didn’t help that there was no eye-candy whatsoever. The only thing cool about the movie was that every now and then, Dy, Tby and I would look at each other and say hey, we’ve been there!
Well anyway, I wanted to watch it for the sake of watching it and now I have. So now let’s get on with our lives. It seems to have generated a lot of interest. From campus crusaders claiming that the book is utter fiction and sects such as the Opus Dei coming under fire. I watched the BBC Hardtalk episode on the Opus Dei President in London and it was quite laughable (think Shane’s jab at Aras’ yoga).
Oh well, I tried out the food at Secret Recipe and for the first time, I saw a restaurant that charged for water. Bleargh. Anyway, the sales are starting soon and I’m looking forward to watching X-men next week. YET another movie I’m watching for the sake of watching. What happened to all the lame funny movies and romantic comedies that I love to watch? I hate overrated blockbusters and lame animated movies that seem to be the theme lately. Bah humbug.
