This is not such a novel idea as some might think. I believe we rocked the socks of Hollywood when the Christians of this country pushed The Passion into a box office success and boom after all of Hollywood doom and gloom about how it would fail because it was too gory, too raw, too... true.
It is being suggested that once more we vote with our dollars - regarding the Da Vincy Code. And not, as you might think, by staying home.
Read here and here. Please take the time to read these links. If you blog, share these links on your blog. If you don't blog, email them to everyone you can think of. We MUST take action and this is a very good one that is suggested here. Let's take those box offices by storm!
I will be leaving this post at the top of my blog and will add new posts below for the next week or so. I don't even know when the Davinci Code opens, but obviously I need to remedy this. I will post this fact when I find out unless someone cares to edify us by leaving a comment.

LET'S CAST OUR VOTES ON MAY 19TH - THE OPENING DATE FOR THE DA VINCI CODE.
Let's make ourselves HEARD in a way Hollywood understands!

How DARE they insult Our Lord GOD ALMIGHTY!!
Have they no shame??!!
But have you seen those previews for Over the Hedge?
*shudder*
I think that staying home is the better option because either of the other two movies leave us paying for intelligence-insulting dreck.
Oh dear, I have NOT seen the review of the other movie suggested as an alternative on the blog I posted the link to. I'm sorry, I should have checked it first. However, there are a few movies out there one can see if we want to vote in this manner. My husband and I went to see United 93 (I think that is the title) It was incredibly moving and I would be willing to watch it again, as well as bring some of my older children to it. I suspect every showing has at least one member of the audience who was personally touched in someway by the loss of someone on 9/11.
I know the showing we went to had at least one member there who knew someone who lost a family member as a friend of mine lost her cousin, a father of two.
Regardless, we must each decide in our own way how to protest this movie and really the strongest is to pray. Pray for those going to see it, pray for the conversion of those who wrote it and produced it. And lastly, pray for a world that is willing to embrace such an atrocity with open arms and an "open" mind.
I agree totally and if I was going to see a movie in protest I think that your idea of Flight 93 is a great one. A much better movie than Da Vinci Code on all fronts from what I can tell. :-)
