'Shells'
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.
So (shuffling feet, looking about in furtive shame), if one were the kind of tasteless loser person who actually preferred the second PotC movie to the first, who liked the too-many-storylines and the Keira and Orly bits and just generally grooved on all of it -- say that someone here (not that there is any such person) were that kind of person, would it be reasonably safe to assume that such a person, loser though they be, would find this last installment pleasing?
squee?
I saw PoTC: DMC on cable this weekend, and I thought it held up nicely.
JZ, you wanna go see POTC3 with me? We can squee in the losers corner together.
Also, why is the rum always gone?
goes to sit with JZ and juliana

What JZ asked.
(Except that I don't think DMC is a better movie that the first one; I think it's just as good. But then, I freely admit that any claims I have to good taste in movies are easily overpowered by my hindbrain going "Yay Pirates! Oooh, supernatural magic-y plot points! Zombies! Pirates!".)
JZ, I'll happily go with you to see it. I mean.... a hypothetical person would go with another hypothetical person. Hypothetically.
JZ, I honestly have no idea. I really truthfully have no idea what people who liked the second one liked about it. Which isn't meant to sound judgmental, just that when DMC came out and everyone was squeeing over it, the conversation may as well have been in ancient Sumerian. We just didn't see the same movie.
Oh, I totally want to see PotC3. PotC remains a favorite movie.
I liked the second one, but didn't quite lose myself in the story as much...there were many minutes of "Dag, this has been on for quite some time."

It's a date!
Jess, it's okay. I remember that ages ago you said you'd desperately loved some movie almost everyone else hated (my brain wants to say Death To Smoochy, but it's been too long to remember for certain), and that you said that in the end all you could say was that if you like this sort of thing, this is just the sort of thing you will like, and that the movie in question was just the sort of thing you liked. PotC:DMC was a total that kind of movie for me, and if the third one is anything like it, I will be a very (irrationally) happy camper.
