Because movies are the biggest problem with society today

Coming soon to a theater near you

The Da Vinci Code opens today in theaters. My screening will have to wait until next Friday, but I predict that even without my $9.50, Code will still take in at least $50 million this weekend.

And then there are the protesters. The more organized ones – you know, the ones capable of using technology – have a website with information on contacts and planned protest sites in each state. I don’t mind waiting a week to see the movie, but am a little disappointed that I’ll be less likely to get in a good pre-film belly laugh at their expense on the second weekend.

If I didn’t already have other plans (and let’s be honest - weren’t so lazy), I’d show up in obviously Wiccan garb and ask to join the protest because of how Code portrays paganism, just to fuck with the book burners.
