Last night we went out to see Xmen 3 - The Last Stand which is alledgely the final Xmen movie they're going to make. I hope that it isn't, because the Xmen series have been a lot of fun and all have been very watchable.
Not only do the films have an easy going, fun style, they can also be used to raise a number of issues. That of the corupting nature of power, the treatment of minorities, human nature of being scared of what we don't know.......
This makes it by far the best movie out in the cinema at this time. Better than MIiii which I saw last month or The Da Vinci Code who's base novel I finished reading last week. Now, anyone who's read Wood's Opinion on the book might be glad to hear that I agree with him. Though Wood did miss out the fact that according to the book (and Grail theory) Edinbouorgh, Gastonbury and Paris are all on the "Rose Line" which was the original north-south meridian before Greenwich. If you happen to look at a map you may note that this isn't the case. (by a long way)
There were several other things that jumped out at me at the time as being glaringly impossible but one of them was the fact that it wasn't until 400AD that the Church decided the best way to hide the fact that Jesus had had a family was to kill them off..... 400 years is a lot of generations, that means a lot of people.....
And if anyone can tell me why the four Bible Gospels are inherently flawed and wrong whereas these fragments of other "gospels" can be taken as gospel truth. Even the ones written many years after the fact by someone who wasn't there.
Now I'm a fan of a conspiracy as the next man, but I'm not going to go out of my way to believe somethign that not only isn't true, but is so crap that truth doesn't really even come into the equation!!! And yet people are taking this seriously!!!
