So I just watched Angels and Demons and...

[Suu]

<---- Suu almost the entire movie.


I hate adaptations. Even off of Dan Brown novels they can't even be accurate or good.

[Kai]

I agree. The novel was bad, but the movie was horrible.

[Suu]

It just felt waaaaay too hurried along with all the omissions. 

I just...ugh.

[Kai]

Also, LHC used to make antimatter. 

[Suu]

Yeah, they really fucking butchered it. They changed the back story to the Camerlengo and made him all Scottish just so Ewan MacGregor could play the part.

But changing Kohler's name to Richter? That made me  .

[Cain]

Yeah, that made me laugh too.

The movie was awful though.  Even the major plot made no sense, because it relied on Langdon finding the antimatter before it exploded, but after it could have been safely....neutralized or whatever, I cant remember the exact reason, but I know they couldn't stop it from blowing, which was all part of the plan.  The retarded plan.

[Da6s]

The only redeeming quality the book had was the character of the assassin, and they completely ruined him in the movie.

[LMNO]

No, the only redeeming part of book was that he decided to end it with Langdon having freaky sex with a yoga master.

[Richter]

But changing Kohler's name to Richter? That made me  .

Still would not watch, but

[Triple Zero]

Yeah, that made me laugh too.

i thought it was funny they tried to shut down parts of the power grid to find the hidden camera instead of much easier and more accurate, tracing the signal.

even if it's wireless.

unless they routed it through korean proxies or shit, but I think they said it was still part of the vatican surveillance grid, they just didnt know where it was.

i mean you take a directional antenna and walk straight at it ..

i mean the power grid thing was a pretty clever move, granted that. but even if clever, it wasn't very efficient compared to tracing the signal.

[Suu]

Yeah. He wasn't Middle Eastern and full of rape. 

I have a feeling that the Catholic Church must have threatened Ron Howard's mortal coil if they kept a few things in.

Angels and Demons is my "favorite" or maybe, "preferred" of the Robert Langdon books, but I probably won't be reading Lost Symbol anytime soon because all of my Masonic friends would probably disown me if I did.

[LMNO]

Oh, come on. 


It's horrible!  You'll love it!



I haven't even read your NaNoWriMo, but I guarantee it's better written in it's rough draft than that book was after it went through a major publishing house's editing staff.

[Suu]

My mom has it now. She already said she's not NEARLY as into it as she was the previous two.


If anything, at least the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons taught me shit about artwork I didn't know. Stuff about the dollar bill I learned in high school.

[LMNO]

Eh, there's still some art stuff, as well as architecture and city planning.


But, of course, you're not missing anything by not reading it.

[Suu]

But I already KNOW Washington DC is a mess to drive around...
