I know I’m late with this news, but I just finished watching the new trailer for The Da Vinci Code. I’ve been anticipating this movie since I first heard they were making it not long after I finished reading the book. I have to say a lot of it looks very cool, but some things in the trailer aren’t quite as I imagined them. I’m not sure what I thought a cryptex would look like, but I don’t think that was quite it. Still, I think the casting looks superb, and I trust Ron Howard to do it justice.

We’re probably going to see King Kong this weekend. I’m interested to see if it lives up to all the hype; I’ve only read one review that wasn’t absolutely raving. I’ve also got to wrap up my Christmas shopping, and Amber and I will probably exchange at least some of our gifts. Then there’s just two days of work and a lot of driving, wedding stuff, Christmas gathering, and more driving before we’re back in Madison late on the 26th.
