The End Is Near".... Apparently she thought that SARs signalled the beginning of the rapture or the return of the black death or Stephen King's The Stand or something. Her back was a mess, there were not just cuts but chunks missing... I cant even begin to imagine how many stitches she needed, and Id bet she needed restorative surgery as well...

Status: offline 		Did you read the book, proudsub?  It's really a lot better than the movie was, IMO, and he explains the self-scourging better than the movie did.  I read the book first and couldn't put it down....then saw the movie and was kind of disappointed. 

I hear they're making the sequel, which was actually the prequel to Davinci Code, Angels & Demons.  Much gorier than Davinci Code, but still a great read.

that sounds more like someone having a terrifying monty python flashback to me.

this whole thread is interesting. thanks for posting proudsub. i know in shi'a islam self-flagellation during certain celebrations is sometimes practiced but i'm really unfamiliar with it (i follow a different tradition), and other than that and the da vinci code this is a new topic for me.

The movie has been in the making since around the same time Da Vinci Code came out. There was something in the news the other, about the Church banning them from filming in any Church. I didn't catch all of it I was thru the break the break room at work...
And for those of you who like the DaVinci Code, read the The Last Templar... good read, puts a different twist on the whole Holy Grail theory.
