Of all the impulsive, and oft times, stupid things I've done in my life, that is the one thing I did that I least regret. <br /><br />Maybe we did miss something in <br />"The DaVinci Code". I haven't watched the movie yet but I intend to do so and I'll be looking at it carefully. If I find the elusive thing I missed, I'll certainly let you know.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-38292870521578101202007-01-06T10:42:00.000-07:002007-01-06T10:42:00.000-07:00Roberta

I bet you felt damn good sending off that email.<br />Too bad you didn't keep that pickle. lol.<br />I too read the 'Da Vinci code', but no, I didn't enjoy it, I kept asking myself, did I miss something here?Spicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092460015575995500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-38642727367220773952007-01-04T08:47:00.000-07:002007-01-04T08:47:00.000-07:00pauline, that former comment was by me, Roberta. ...<b>pauline</b>, that former comment was by me, Roberta.

As for the book. Yes, I have to agree, the book did stimulate a lot of thought.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-41005483016519078552007-01-03T17:54:00.000-07:002007-01-03T17:54:00.000-07:00You brave and victorious thing you!

The premise was good but the story itself lacked depth. The movie was worse, but still, I was left with a lot of questions; the pursuit of answers has led me to some interesting places.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-49752339452548207502007-01-03T14:18:00.000-07:002007-01-03T14:18:00.000-07:00julie, I have to agree with you it was a sad excus...<b>julie</b>, I have to agree with you it was a sad excuse for a story. The pursuit was passionate but none of the characters fleshed out enough or passionate enough to be part of the quest. Like those movies where a severed hand is finger walking across the room and the occupants of the room turn to each other and say, "Should we shoot it, stomp on it, or just get outta here. Okay, we'll get outta here, but should we leave through the front door or the back?"Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-80106452520306265962007-01-03T14:10:00.000-07:002007-01-03T14:10:00.000-07:00I wish I had the bravery to write letters like tha...I wish I had the bravery to write letters like that. Are you enjoying reading or did you enjoy reading the Da Vinci code? I thought it was page-turning but nonetheless absolute rubbish. The funniest character to me was Sir Leigh Teabing who was such a cardboard cliché of a character.Julie Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561525327058025185noreply@blogger.com
