How Did They Manage to Make Paul Bettany Look So Gross?

ewwwStarting a couple of years ago, like everyone I would talk to would tell me about this book they were reading and how I had to check it out.  Over and over again, I was told I had to read it.  This book would change my life!  Well it turns out I was at church camp, and that book?  The Da Vinci Code.  I never did pick up that book because overzealous people who insist that you read the books that interest them remind me of Mormans or something.  I have never read any of those Harry Potter books for the same reason.  Well anyway, Ron Howard is making a movie of the book, which I am assuming will make a gazillion dollars.  I don't think I can see it though.  Not because of the crazy fans either.  I can't see it because they made someone as ass-puckeringly sexy as Paul Bettany into some kind of mutant.  So while the rest of the world goes to see this, I will be at home snuggled up on the couch with Jake, forcing him to watch Wimbledon for the 200th time.

Oh dang, the movie has a new trailer out.  You can see it at Yahoo movies or by clicking on Paul Bettany's disturbing visage.
