Hec, thanks for clearing that up. I couldn't remember all the details. I think I need to go see it again.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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...

He made me his bitch, for one thing.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
a) WRONG
b) You might think so now, but you haven't seen anything yet.
c) EVEN MORE WRONG

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dudes, he's been mine since back when all y'all were calling him a ponce.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have achieved Pirates. I need to go see it again. It's too much! I have ponderings. I have speculation.
