Perhaps. But we are not having the full might of the commercial media applied at us to force us to take an interest in all the others. Besides, some of them have redeeming merits - TDVC has none.

Yep, Da Vinci code this, Da Vinci code that; few years and dissertations will be written about how such meiocre book sold 60 million copies and how such so-so movie was the highest grossing of all times.
Mark my words.
