sumi- I got the impression that resigning his post was not a direct result of letting Jack and Will go, but that he had somehow disgraced himself by spending alll his time and energy trying ot catch Jack. I thought this was mentioned in the film, but I could be making that up. I figured he became obsessed and kind of crazed trying to fulfill was he saw has his duty and now he is disillusioned and bitter.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Hey. New board.
And could Anne Hathaway be more beautiful?
Not legally.

Regarding Norrington - somewhere they make it clear that he was forced out for losing his ship monomaniacally chasing Jack by going into the hurricane. He didn't just resign his comission but was forced out in disgrace.

Hec, thanks for clearing that up. I couldn't remember all the details. I think I need to go see it again.

Ah, therefore the sad scruffy drunkenness did make sense?
I also discovered that whereas I thought at the end of POTC1 that Will had embraced his pirateness and wasn't going to marry Elizabeth and then set up house over his smithy - my friend thought the opposite. I really thought that he was dressed for the wedding at the beginning of the movie and that once married he and Elizabeth would have to leave. I guess I was wrong there too. How much time do you guys figure had passed between 1 & 2?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, hell, obviously I need to see PotC1 before I see 2, because I don't remember any of this shit.
The good thing about having a bad memory is that I can see the same movie like three times, about a year apart, and be just as entertained each time. I'm like a goldfish. "Hey, look! A pirate ship!" "Hey look! A pirate ship!" "Hey look! ...Was that there before?"

I guess I'm the same way -- but what Hec said about the obsession, hurricane, lost ship leads me to believe that there was some time between movies and that therefore my friend was right and Will and Elizabeth were to marry and keep the smithy going.

So I saw Pirates on Saturday afternoon. And that wasn't enough. And then I went to see it again tonight. There is an obsessive fangirl squee session brewing inside me....
You know, in the first movie, I thought that Norrington was kind of a ponce. And now we have this Norrington? What the merry hell has happened to this man?!? This is the mystery that plagues me...

All I have to say, Ms. Lee, is get in line, woman! I haven't even seen the second movie yet, but NORRINGTON IS MINE, MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE.
Damn it.
