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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In the first movie he was goofy and the comic relief.

Even in the first one, there were scenes, like when he was feeling out E on whether she really wanted Norrington, that made me love him. He broke me in this one.

Must go see again for all the stuff I missed due to tiki bar.

What with the short hair and all the shouting and urging someone to shoot him, it looks like Christian Bale is channeling John Crichton for this performance. I'm not going to survive seeing it, am I?

I saw PotC again today. I wanted to cry every time Governor Swann was on screen. In the first movie he was goofy and the comic relief. Even during the battle his fighting the hand was made to get laughs. This time he's a father who would do anything to keep his daughter alive and without his wig he seemed so broken.

I also noticed things this time that I missed before. Like when the group visits Tia Dalma the first time. The camera lingers on the monkey sitting by a body. I had to refrain from squealing ZOMG Barbossa.

I would also like to set the record straight that Scruffington is mine. I even made icons.

ETA: I accidentaly made my spoiler text links. I don't know how I managed to do that. I fixed it and I apologise if I spoiled anyone.

I can't decide if you're trying to make me look psychic or crazy, Melpomene. Either way, good going.

Sorry about that. I deleted my comment because I made a mistake with the whitefont and didn't want to spoil anyone.

Heh. Either one is an improvement today, so no worries.

And speaking as someone who hasn't seen the movie yet (Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I get to see Pirates tomorrow!), I very much appreciate it.
