But I stand by my decision. If you want to see Will Smith throw a punch, you can just watch the Oscars. That was the last time I recommended a film to the great Dan Brown. You looked up, briefly made eye contact, and continued on your way. Ali felt as sluggish as a boxer nearing the end of his career, while Vanilla Sky was a poignant, bittersweet film with a haunting message and a tremendous twist ending. Gone are the days when he could sit undisturbed in the Grand. Then came the fateful night when you couldn’t decide between the Muhammed Ali biopic Ali starring Will Smith, and Cameron Crowe’s Vanilla Sky starring Tom Cruise. Two years and 25 million copies later, Dan Brown, the author of 'The Da Vinci Code,' has all but gone into hiding. A famous author, conversing with an elite ripper.įor a while – over a year, actually – I had a perfect record with the man who also brought us Angels & Demons and Digital Fortress. Some of my coworkers knew you as their former teacher in Hampton Falls.īut as the designated ticket-ripper, I lucked out, and was the one who got to recommend movies to you. You were just a friendly, normal-looking guy in khakis and a windbreaker. There was very little fanfare when you visited, Mr.
That would be you, Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, a resident of the Seacoast for many years, and our most notable regular at the Hampton Cinemas. But we also had a celebrity regular – someone who was globally famous at the time, and universally famous as I write this.
