If I only had a brain...
Since when, in this community, is being a ponce a bad thing? Re Norrington: He turned into Wesley. Works for me.

I don't have a problem with Norrington being a ponce at all . But he went all scruffy!Wes in the span of what feels like five minutes, and it spun my head around.
Also, everyone can keep their claims, I'd just like to pet him. A lot.

I was thinking scruffy Wes when I saw Norrington too.

In the movie's time frame, it took some time.
Seems like a lot of us thought Norrington turned into scruffyWes. We must be very smart.

Yeah, but it all happened off-camera, and I want to know what happened!
I would give him much love. And by that, I of course mean porn.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm Scruffington's bitch.
I'm glad I read the discussion on the racial aspects of the cannibals and ita's subsequent input because I went in there looking for it. However, I thought that that the cannibals were a mixture of Caribbean natives with some darker skinned folk--presumably a mixture of imported slaves, etc. And the pidgin language Jack Sparrow used with them didn't appear overtly racist to me. I could also understand the Obeah woman pefectly well, and the people surrounding her hut also looked like an Afro-Caribbean mixture (read typical for the time and place). So to sum up, it didn't ping me at all.
As for the rest, I loved the the Hamster Ball of Death, the Jack Sparrow Kabob of Death and the Hamster Wheel of Sword Fighting. All of these things were over the top but fun, fun, fun. I loved Bill Nighy's Davy Jones and the effects for him and his crew. Bootstrap Bill was awesome and heart-wrenching. I didn't care for the effects of the Kraken, though. I adored Orlando, Keira and Johnny. Their interaction and the addition of jealousy and doubt in Will and Elizabeth's relationship will add spice to the next film, I think. Keira's regrets and saddness over giving Jack to the Kraken were intrepreted as sorrow and loss by Will and I liked the mistunderstanding. Zombie monkey kicked ass. And I LOVED the return of Barbosa. Damn, I just like Geoffrey Rush more and more. In short, I loved it. And I need to see it again. And maybe again.

So, haven't seen POTC2 yet (to my everlasting shame, I haven't seen 1 yet either). But a friend who liked the first one, and his wife, who adored the first one, had plans to see it opening night (I think they had advance tickets). Said friend has little to no on-line experience in terms of interacting with people in a forum.
Conversation with friend:
Me: So, how was the Big Gay Pirate Movie?
Him: Um...what?
Me: Sorry, Pirates of the Caribbean 2
Him: t /crickets
Him: Big gay pirate movie?
Me: It's an on-line thing; you wouldn't understand.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, this movie, not as slashy.
I feel dumb for spending the whole movie trying to figure out where Bill Nighy comes in. I thought that was Davy's real accent.
