But the film might be good - that sort of trashy stuff usually makes good films. At least the judgement means the film can go ahead and be released.<BR/><BR/>Someone said somewhere that The HBHG authors should have known better than to take on Gail Rebuck (of Random House).Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166733963939080151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1144516339917323972006-04-08T18:12:00.000+01:002006-04-08T18:12:00.000+01:00Ok, ok, D, I'm not the only person in the world wh...Ok, ok, D, I'm not the <I>only</I> person in the world who hasn't...<BR/><BR/>Back in the late '70s I read a book called <I>The Wise Wound</I> by Penelope Shuttle and Peter Redgrove.

They could admit that 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' was essentially fiction and Dan Brown plagiarized it, or insist that it was serious scholarship, in which case he was only building on their hypothesis.<BR/><BR/>The good news for BL&L is that their obscure, 25-year-old book is now at #14 on Amazon's top seller list. And Random House is laughing all the way to the bank.red-queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538275323124092409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14028331.post-1144436571859700982006-04-07T20:02:00.000+01:002006-04-07T20:02:00.000+01:00Told you!
