I read the book Angels & Demons... I'm an avid reader of anything thriller, so obviously I enjoyed it... but under the circumstances of being stuck in a tent in the middle of the desert at the time, I'm suspicious of my motivation.
I also read Davinci Code. Saw the movie as well, but obviously, when you read a book, the movie never does it justice. And that doesn't have to be taken in a positive light... regardless of how good the book is or isn't, the movie will be worse.
(unless you have a completely incapable imagination and get nothing out of reading books)

Can't say that I knew anything about a theatrical film of Angels & Demons... thought it was some kind of high budget documentary of sorts. I'd seen the hypemercials, but didn't think of it as an actual movie.
Am I wrong here?

Yeah, you're wrong. It's another movie. I read DVC and enjoyed it. I thought Digital Fortress and A&D were pretty horrible, though. So I doubt I'll see this movie. I did just watch Donnie Darko though, so maybe I'll keep my streak of watching bad movies going.

You only just discovered that Donnie Darko was a retarded movie?
Or did you just decide to punish yourself twice?

Only just discovered. I've been putting it off my whole life because of its fanboy status, then got bored in the tent the other day. It was pretty much exactly what I thought.

Oh man, I've bought and watched some pretty crap movies when I was in the desert. The boredom combined with lack of good shit at the PX equaled me buying and regretting a good 35 percent of all the DVD's I own.

I even sat through this movie called "Shatter Dead" which was so bad, it couldn't even be considered an independent film by any standard other than a definition.
I actually broke the DVD after watching it. I couldn't even bring myself to giving it away. It had to be destroyed.

Haha, did you guys atleast have the hadji mart where you were? We get pretty much every movie the day it comes out here for two dollars. They're almost always DVD rips. But yeah, I got this one movie that I swear to god was filmed with a home camera. Not like Cloverfield, for effect. Actually used a home camera and hoped it wouldn't be noticed. It was the worst movie I've ever seen.

I liked it myself, then again i haven't read the book and those who have seem not to like it. I'll agree Ewan McGregor is great in it.

Regarding Donnie Darko, i've fallen asleep through it twice :s
