Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought the sword fight in the mill wheel was one of the most beautifully choreographed ever.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It made it worse that it came so late in the film. As if the parkour sequence in James Bond were at the end-- two hours in you're thinking come on, get to the big finish!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The set pieces in Potc3 all gave me the impression that they were staged with the new ride in mind. Yawn.

Let me state for the record that I love the characters of PoTC.
I especially the non-leads like Bill Nighy, the bumbling pirates and the snobby EIC dude who is so fun to hate. And Norrington...okay, the list goes on.
eta: What Jessica said! The set pieces in 2 felt exactly like that to me. I remember leaning over during the water wheel deal and saying,"Coming to a Universal Studios ride any day now."

Hey. New board.
Did we know about the Golden compass teaser?
It's taking forever to load for me. Why can't all trailers go immediately to Apple's trailer page, which never gives me any troubles?
ETA: OOH PRETTY

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
For all you Death Proof fans who might have thought about renting Dirty Mary Crazy Larry : I have done it for you. The car chase parts are numerous and very entertaining and Crazy Larry is pretty cool but Dirty Mary is one of those skanky dishwater blond types whose idea of showing emotion includes a lot of screeching. The word "harpy" comes to mind. It's worth renting if you love car chases more than you hate whiny bitches.

OK, I've been hoping to see Jude Law as Ozymandias every since Sky Captain but if this Dr. Manhattan casting rumor is true I think I might cry. Watchmen Casting News
