I haven't seen the movie yet but I read the book shortly after it first came out. The book began well an moved quickly until towards the end. The ending seemed to drag and was weak. The book is not great work of literature but an entertaining read that, obviously, adapts easily for the silver screen.

The concept that Jesus may have had children is not new. I first heard it thrown out in a discussion more than 30 years ago. Frankly, I don't fully understand the furor over this. There is no compelling reason to believe it true but for some seem to like the idea. However, some believe that the moon landing was faked also.

I found it somewhat amusing that some albinos found the movie offensive because of the portrayal of an albino as an assassin.

The National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentationare is launching a campaign against the Tom Hanks film of "The Da Vinci Code."

NOAH had unsuccessfully asked film director Ron Howard to change author Dan Brown's "hulking albino" character Silas, The New York Post reported Sunday.

A California teacher who is albino wrote to Brown in 2003 voicing her concern over the "hateful" stereotypes assigned to albinos in literature and film, the newspaper said.

Perhaps I'm too callous but every demographic is negatively portrayed in movies at some time or another. I don't remember any albino groups protesting Michael Bowman's portrayal of a psychopathic serial killer in "Me, Myself and Irene."

Of course the albino protest pales in contrast to the hundreds of thousands of Christians around the world rioting, burning embassies, and such.

Oops, that isn't happening. Is it?
