Ron, you beat me to the point.  A major U.S. publisher (Doubleday) issued the "DaVinci Code," which from my viewpoint is a lot more likely to mislead people about history, art, and archaeology than any of Indiana Jones' antics.  So why are picking exclusively on Hollywood right now?

  You guys are confusing "fantasy" with reality. Movie people create fantasy  
  so ticket-buyers like me can relax from work, family crises, and paying taxes. 
   
  If you really want to impact Hollywood, the studios are promoting Dramatica  
  Pro, "The Ultimate Creative Writing Partner" Version 4 for script writing. 
  They  also produce Word Menu, Stephen Glazier's dictionary, thesaurus and almanac 
  to  "get all the facts correct." I think my old pal Jack Hunter ought to 
  purchase a  copy of this software and write a script around one of his many 
  underwater  adventures! 
   
  In the past, we have debated how much fantasy should be allowed in fiction  
  stories. I say fantasy is wide open, others blast movies like "National  
  Treasure" and the "Davinci Code" as outrageous and phoney attacks on reality.  Whose 
  reality, I like to counter back? Well, here you are boys and girls, an  
  opportunity to change the Hollywood script writing industry and become rich and  
  famous yourselves!
   
  The door is open, now someone has to pass through to the other side.
