lady_kishiriaI've been getting asked about the Da Vinci Code lately, so I decided to link to an entry I wrote a couple of years ago about it:

I said then it's a sexist book and even in![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
catholicism they've been saying that.
I also want to mention that the Priory of Sion was a hoax of Pierre Plantard's. He started it in the postwar years as a French monarchist revival group. When it got hijacked by Baignent et Cie to show he was rightfully king of France due to his being a descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, he copped to the truth since he was a devout Catholic who couldn't stomach *that* idea.
I saw part of the movie yesterday and it's AWFUL. If I hadn't read both the book DVC and "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" I'd have had no idea what was going on. I enjoyed the book for what it was, groaning loudly at al the historical stupidities (which were plagiarized anyway), and admit it'd make a good thriller done right but it wasn't done right.
