Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

I think the better question to ask is, "who won't see it". Apart from all the religious debates, the book was a great read. With Ron Howard directing and Tom Hanks starring, my expectations are extremely high for this flik.
I'm hoping it won't disapoint.

Loved the books "Angels and Demons" and "The DaVinci Code". Sometimes I have found books better than the movie, but also there have been times when the movie seemed as good as or better than the book.
"To Kill a Mockingbird", "Jaws", "Moby Dick," "Gone With the Wind" were all excellent films as well as excellent books.
Here's hoping for a great "DaVinci Code".

"Angels and Demons" was far better then "DaVinci Code". Didn't get the same publicity for obvious reasons.
I recently re-read "To Kill a Mockingbird". I've never seen the movie though. Wasn't that made back in the 40's?
I may have to rent it now.

Scout ruled! That Boo Radley fella was spooky though -- but then who wouldn't be spooky with a first name like Boo.
I'm going to go see Da Vinci Code -- but probably not opening weekend (I'll wait for the crowd to die down). Plus, I've read the book as well so no surprises are in store for me.
Could have said something similar about Titantic. Instead, I watched the whole film wondering whether which characters were going to live or not.

The book "Mockingbird" was not even written in the 40's. The movie was To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

I saw on CNN that the book and movie are anti-albino. Fight anti-albinoism!

I don't know. I find it hard to trust anyone with pink eyes. Those white rabbits at the pet store give me the heebee jeebee's!

I have had the book for over a year and have not read it yet. I will see the movie and then possibly read the book.

She's in that movie Capote I hear. I haven't seen it but I think it's about the guy who did the voice of Droopy the Dog

I think it will be the biggest grossing movie this year... I can't even think of anything that may come close.
