NOT The Da Vinci Code.
I just saw a commercial, which was really well done, and might have gotten me excited, except for three awful things hanging over it:
- it's based on that book, which i have not read, but from all accounts is really bad,
- it was made by Ron Howard
- it stars Tom Hanks.
pitty about that last one. i used to like him. i guess i still do, i just can't scrape up any interest in seeing him. at least in something like this, but kind of in anything. what did he to do his image?
too many ghastly-looking films in a row that turned me off? too many trips to the plate with the spielberg huckster team? i think the last thing i saw him in was Castaway. blech. what a hollow experience that was.
