Barbara Nicolosi has an interesting idea for how people offended at the Da Vinci Code movie can respond. Rather than just boycotting it, they should instead on the opening day of May 19, go to another movie. Barbara recommends the animated movie “Over The Hedge”, but any movie will do.
The idea is to speak the language of Hollywood executives. A low box office can be explained away as more of the same filmgoer apathy or the effects of the weather or something else. But if lots of people go to the movies, but choose something other than “The Da Vinci Code,” that sends a whole other message.

As much as I wish that this would send a clear message to Hollywood, realistically, this movie is going to be a box office success with or without the Catholics, I’m afraid.
Actually, Dom, conventional Hollywood wisdom (yeah, I know, just humor me for a moment!) says that a film’s success can pretty well be determined after the first weekend.
Too bad. I loved Ron Howard when he was Opie.
Well, I will be preparing for profession. I cannot, yet I support this movement.
Andrew,
If you’re preparing for profession, you need to get rid of your assets, right? Give some of your remaining cash to a friend you trust and have him buy you one (or more) tickets.
All,
That’s pretty scary about the standing applause for the Da Vinci Code preview.
What cash, seamole!
