More proof ...

... that The DaVinci Code inspires weirdness (source):

Earlier in the day, Sir Ian accused the "powerful" people condemning The Da Vinci Code movie of snobbery towards cinema-goers, and said he thought the Catholic Church would like the film's central idea, that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, because it offered proof that Jesus was not gay.
The actor admitted that after he read Dan Brown's best-selling book he thought it was "codswallop".
Sir Ian said: "When I read the book I believed it entirely. I thought Leigh Teabing had answered his case very convincingly indeed.
"When I put the book down I thought 'What a load of potential codswallop'."That's still going on in my mind. But I'm very happy to believe that Jesus was married.
"I know that the Catholic Church has problems with gay people and I thought that this was absolute truth that Jesus was not gay."
He added: "When the book came out the controversy didn't seem to exist.
"There were no statements from people in powerful places condemning the book.
"Is that because readers can be trusted to have minds and people that go and see movies need to protected?
"I think there's a little bit of snobbery going on as regards the cinema. I think cinema-goers are just as intelligent as readers and they will make up their own minds, and in the meantime they will have a fantastic time, a fantastic ride."

... or maybe Ian McKellan is just weird.

I think I'm done posting on this lame book/movie ... unless something interesting happens.
