Minishorts says: Today's blogger is Tyler, who works in a 'one leg kick' job. Tyler blogs on multiply and comes across as both profound and hilarious at times. Today, he talks about his first time reading Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code.

Say G’day from Sydney and thank god for technology for if it weren't for the advent of the internet I’d have no place to blog… err then again there would be no blogs? Right!? *grin* anyway time seems to stand still when down under, all of you that have been here would agree, a minute feels like ten, an hour feels like 4 hours, etc. so much so that I actually bought a book, which I’ve been wanting to read for quite a while. The DaVinci Code.

It should be called the DaSmokeSumCrack Code because it’s as addictive as crack. (eh please not that kind of crack unless u dig it… tsk tsk) and just to let you know, I’ve read less than 10 books my whole life. that includes Tolkein's LoTR, and the first 2 series of dragonlance. yup I’m so sheltered… heh. To my surprise I finished reading it after only 2 days. Such a feat! Take it from me if you have not read it. GET IT NOW (or rent it from me. RM1 per day fair enough??)

If a movie were to be ever made these are the people I'd like to see play some of the key roles

ROBERT Langdon

A professor of religious symbology at Harvard, he used to be a swimmer in his younger days, I guess that he would be pretty well built, have a nerdy/scruffy look. I'd nominate Eric Bana… yeah he was quite convincing as a lab rat in the hulk. Just give him a pair of glasses.

Sophie Neveu

Agent Neveu of the Cryptography Department, also the curator Jacques Sauniere's granddaughter. Strong character, very intelligent and I'd imagine that she would have strong facial features with dark brown hair. I would love to see Claire Forlani from Meet Joe Black in the role. Those eyes, you can't run away from those eyes!

Bezu Fache

Arrogant, egoistical, short tempered Captain of the Central Directorate Judicial Police. A typical Frenchman who has too much to lose on this case if he doesn’t solve it. To me the actor has to be a native because of the accent and also appearance. His character needs to have an imposing presence. What do you say Gérard Depardieu? I can already imagine him cursing and shouting in French.

Silas

The Albino monk. Fanatical in his belief and will do anything for the opus dei. Practices corporal mortification he used to lead a criminal life before he was reborn. Silas does all the dirty work for “the teacher” to achieve their goals, I’d say Mickey Rourke who played Marv in sin city would be a good match, although they’d have to paint his whole body white.

The rest? hmm I haven’t put much thought into the rest of the cast. Who would you suggest play these roles if a movie were to be ever made?

I was in Sydney couple of days ago when I wrote the first draft of this entry. Someone tried to steal my car. TWICE! I got back to the place where I was staying by train at Wyong at around 11pm at night. I had parked there earlier under a tree. Walking towards to car I noticed the small A-pillar window had actually been smashed in. those idiots later tried to hotwire the car but were unsuccessful. I tried some McGuyver 1337 skills trying to hotwire it myself back to life later having to realize that it was just a movie… *damn*

Having called the police and all that and since there was nothing more that could be done there I hitched a ride back home from my uncle who came by to help out. (Of course I locked the car after that anyway, heh).

The next morning at around 8 am the police came around to my parent’s house looking for my mum (the car’s under her name). It seemed that the car had been stolen from the train station and they parked it at the tennis courts. This time they also took the steering wheel, and all 4 speakers (3 of which were NOT working) HAHA. Gotto love ‘em punks. So smart, yet so stupid…

So what are the odds? Twice in a night! Anyone know if you can buy Magnum4D online? *grin*

Minishorts says again: Lucky for you the damage's not THAT bad… hey I can get the 4D for you, mail the digits to me… but but but first, I have to tell you this. Dude. A movie IS being made. Tom Hanks is going to be Robert Langdon. Sophie Neveu will be played by Audrey Tautou. We can expect to watch it next year.
