Lot's my grey in his hair in the left hand still and this is a prequel. I have no desire to see it, but if it pisses off the Church it can't be all bad.

Gray in his hair too.

Thanks goodness.

That reminds me of the bit with the Da Vinci Code tourists in 2 Days in Paris.

Monument,

I love that scene in 2 Days in Paris. I don't think I could be that big of an a-hole in real life, but if I saw someone else doing it I would cheer them on.

Are we entirely convinced the hair is 100% legit even in the newer pic?

Hairline looks... interesting

It's not the mullet that hurt the movie. It's the movie that hurt the movie.

Hanks is overdue for a good movie.

... and a sequel to his worst one ever likely won't do the trick.

Josh: Technically, it's a prequel.

Charlie Wilson's War was a very good film.

supertaster says ...

that never qualified as a mullet ... it was long all over, not just in the back. This shaggy look is making a comback...

For a counter-culture guy who prides himself on being hip (what with the skinny leg tux pants and all), I would think you would know this.

Da Vinci Code's only appeal was that it was the Jesus had a Wife/Gnostic Gospels for Dummies. But wrapped in a lame murder mystery.

Angels & Demons doesn't even have that going for it. It's absolute garbage that, if Da Vinci didn't somehow hit a nerve all those years back, would be selling for a quarter in bargain bins across the country. Where it belongs.

CWW was MUCH better than I thought it was gonig to be. But, too be fair, doesn't it feel like PSH was cut and pasted fro ma more serious version of the story? He is so great and just seems so raw and out of place with the other cast members. maybe it's just me.

That ain't a mullet. A mullet is supposed to hang like mud flap in the back, but look all business like a crew cut in the front and on the sides. See Brian Bosworth in that silly biker thing he did with Lance Henrikson and William Forsythe.

Hanks is sporting a European intellectual artsy-fartsy all-over long-hair thing. It ain't even close to a down-home redneck mullet.

nola says ...

exactly nemo but Hanks couldn't rock that look.

I already see Angels and Demons tourists here and it's annoying. It's one thing for a book to inspire you to seek something out but to rush from site to site as if you have a check list is the miss the point of coming to a city like Rome in the first place.

Also the book was horrible but better than the Da Vinci Code.

This week's That Mitchell and Webb Look has a very funny Da Vinci Code parody based around their recurring game show Numberwang. "There are numbers... everywhere!"

Arizona Joe says ...

If not a mullet, it was a bad haircut.

I never understood the pull of the Da Vinci Code. Banal, yes. Hokey, yes. An insignificant sacrilege, yes.

Tom Hanks must have gotten big points on the gross to be associated with these films. In decades to come, these works will be known as a laughingstock.

Edward says ...

If reading the DaVinci code leads one to question the nature of Christianity, it's a good thing. I read Holy Blood Holy Grail years ago, so a lot of DaVinci wasn't that big a surprise, but to the unwashed, low thread count masses, must of blown some minds. Not that I believe everything I read, but the Mary Magdalene connection is interesting and it makes me wonder what the real truth is.

moorish says ...

Setting aside its obvious hideousness, was it even technically a mullet?

I thought mullets had to be short on top, long at that back. Hanks' hair was just long and swept back. Don't think that technically qualifies as a mullet. Just a fugly set of hair extensions.
