Dan Brown + Tom Hanks = eeeew.
Wise words, Jamelah. As ever. And beautifully spoken.
The book wasn’t GOOD, but it was entertaining. Tom Hanks, on the other hand, is anti-entertaining and it was totally ridiculous to cast him in the role. I think he must be blackmailing Ron Howard or something.
Are you podcasting now?
But anyway…
It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one who seems to always get the assholes sitting behind me at movies. I’m not sure why but I always seem to get stuck with I’m-going-to-laugh-at-everything-even-though-it’s-not-even-remotely-funny girl. God help the people that had to sit next to her during Schindler’s List. My 15 year old son, who is my most frequent movie companion, will lean over to me at these times and whisper in my ear, “Shhhhh, I can actually hear you rolling your eyes.”
Waterhot — My real problem is with Tom Hanks’s hair. Seriously.
srah — Yeah, it was entertaining. It still is, actually.
Levi — Yep, because I’m so hip.
palynology — Hm?
Heather — Yeah, the idiots are always seated directly behind me, without fail. I’ve just come to expect it. Of course, nothing can top the time when I went to see Braveheart and the guy stood up and yelled “YEAH! YOU GET ‘EM!!” at the screen. That time just wins. Forever.
That book was awful, but I was able to read it all the way through (I try to finish any book I start because I’m that damned stubborn). The Redemption of Althalus on the other hand, was almost completely unreadable. I will hate that book forever and curse it with my dying breath.
I also read it all the way through, though I have to admit that after chapter 2 or so, the thing that kept me reading was the fact that it was so unintentionally funny.
that was totally worth 2 minutes of my time and cheered me up fantastically.
Jamelah, you’re my hero for today. (like you are most days that I read your site) I had a different hero for last Saturday but that’s only ’cause he got me out of driving a motorhome. long story.
But Jams, compare it to the work - and I say that with ironic air quotes hovering archly nearby - of John Grisham.
I’ll take Dan Brown any day.
