POTC
I think some people posted that they liked the organ music from the movie. I bought the soundtrack today and the track Davey Jones contains the music from the organ and the locket. It's available on megaupload here.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

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.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
PotC1, spoiler if you haven't seen it:
Just rewatched it in preparation for seeing PotC2, and I didn't see this the first time around: after the credits is a clip showing the little monkey swimming back to where the treasure was, and he's a regular monnkey - no curse. But then he steals one of the gold coins, and he becomes undead again. So that's why the monkey's curse didn't get lifted - he went back and stole a coin. Same as Jack becoming briefly undead when he had a stolen coin. Incorrigible pirate monkey.
Seems an awfully accomodating curse, really. "No, you can come back to life! And you don't even have to kill anyone! See, us Aztec gods, we're reasonable. Just don't fuck with our gold, man."

OMGPiratesyay!
Um, that is, I saw it tonight, and liked it lots. I think my favorite character was the voodoo witchy woman. I loved Elizabeth chaining Jack to the Pearl, and her remorse about betraying him being read as grief by Will. And oh! Scruffy Norrington! I want to know more about why he ended up that way.
I was completely unspoiled for the return of Barbosa. I clapped my hands in glee at that point.
And because I'm predictable in a magpie sort of way, not only did I love the "Something shiny" line, but I want a replica of the heart locket that both Davey Jones and the voodoo queen had.
In conclusion, again, OMGPiratesyay!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am a dolt and misread Will's misreading Elizabeth's remorse as grief as Will's reading Elizabeth's remorse as...remorse.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I only had a brain...
I thought Will was focusing on the OMGWTFKissyface! As in, "What, were his tonsils about to fall out and you were shoving them back into place?"

ATTN NYCISTAS!
Film Forum is currently in the middle of a Billy Wilder programme, and tonight and tomorrow they will be showing Ace in the Hole, which I raved about for weeks after seeing it there during their last Wilder-a-thon. This is a devastatingly brilliant movie that's not available on any home video format (I believe there are rights issues), so if you have time this weekend, GO SEE IT. I'll be at the 5:20 show tomorrow evening.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Betsy, that was my take.

Jan Sterling has some of the greatest noir tough-chick lines ever in this movie.
Reporter: "Hey lady, you wanna pray for the kid trapped in the well?"
Jan: "I don't kneel. It wrinkles my nylons."
