I think I have become a book snob now when it comes to movies. Being that I never read books before seeing the movies before I took the movies at face value. The only two other book series that I had read before seeing the movie was Harry Potter and LOTR and they are/have been pretty true to the book.
Not so much the case with this movie that I watched last night. I got done with the book a day before and decided that I wanted to see the movie to see how close it was and it was for a 1/4 of it, but I couldn’t understand why they would change so much of it from the book. I understand that they can’t put a book into a movie or it would take forever to show, but they could have kept the characters and what they did the same and they really changed things around for this one. In this case, the book was way better then the movie. And I used to be the movie guy.
I already have reservations about The Da Vinci Code, so I can imagine what it will be like when I see it.

I envy the fact that you can actually finish books.. I have been reading the Da Vinci Code since November of 2003, and am about 60 pages in. Not that's it's not good - I fall asleep so easy because of my work schedule that I get maybe a page and a half read at a time. Pretty sad considering I used to read a 300 page book in about a week.
