A friend of mine told me they (these are the same 'they' people refer to when also talking about scientists) were currently making a film of 'Angels & Demons', based on the book by Dan Brown. I don't generally agree with the popular opinion of most people (although there are a lot of Liverpool fans, so that's nice), so it was of no surprise that I wouldn't like his books. Unsurprisingly, the Catholic Church isn't too pleased about this adaptation apparently.
By the way, I'm currently working on a character for a skit called 'the guy who gets into popular culture way late, but pretends it's cutting edge and makes comments about it', lets see how it goes...aaaaand scene...
This is my impression of Dan Brown...
"Professor Steve walked down a street (rue), probably somewhere in Paris where smoke was filtering out from cracks in the doorways. SMOKE? DOORWAYS? A ginger hulk of an albino with pink eyes laughed and disappeared into the distance. DISTANCE? He quickly realised there was absolutely no need to laugh or disappear, so came back and gave Professor Steve the information he needed. The catholic church denied it despite not knowing what it was. MURDER? When they found out what it was, they still denied it anyway. Professor Steve accused them of fiddling with kids. KIDS? They took a bit too long to deny that allegation, which was very weird. Somewhere in the distance somebody, and no one knew who, just screamed the word CLANDESTINE. Then everyone went to sleep like this zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz because it had been a very long day."
Weirdly, I've not been contacted to write book reviews or become a literary agent. Dan Brown is a multi-millionaire, I'm sat at my desk at work trying to make myself laugh. Hey ho...
