First, a little fun. Any resemblance to this movie poster is completely intentional. Oddly enough, I've had several people tell me over the years that I look like Tom Hanks. He wishes.
Click on the poster to read my article, "Dan Brown Rushes In Where Angels (& Demons) Fear to Tread," published in the April 2009 issue of This Rock magazine, for which I am a contributing editor:




































































































LOL.

Much better looking than what's-his-face. I agree, a vast improvement!

hehehe.... I like that touch with your book. You should make another one with that exhausted face pic you posted a few months back, showing how exhausted you (Langdon) are from your eternal sleuthing.

Your review, Carl, has created a sort of mathematical puzzle.
A. Dan Brown's book is filled with factual inaccuracies.
B. Producer Brian Grazer says they have taken liberties (my word) with the book.
So then, what are the mathematical odds that the movie might actually correct some of the factual inaccuracies of the book, strictly by accident?
It is sort of a mutation of mutations scenario. Actually a very Darwinian type of puzzle come to think of it.
We might even want to speculate, say, if millions of Hollywood producers were adapting millions of historically inaccurate novels, how many billions of years would it take them to produce some sort of higher form, like for example, the Catechism of the Catholic Church? I suppose it is analogous to monkeys and typewriters creating War and Peace.
Just asking.

LJ: Yer cracking me up, especially since the analogy of monkeys and typewriters seems so ape, er, apt.
