I'm watching the HBO series Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
So good.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Colour me blind! Tia Dalma (the witchy woman) from PotC2 and 3 was the black chick in 28 Days Later. Never would have gotten that without IMDB. Need to add her to my site, stat.

I might go see two movies back-to-back this weekend--both Paris, Je T'aime and Once will be playing at the Highland Park arthouse theatre by this Friday, and I really want to see both. Once is only about 90 minutes long, so seeing both of them together shouldn't be too much.

Do Morgan Freeman's two turns as god in the Almighty movies make him the most Magical of all Negroes ever?

Yes! Isn't she awesome? I knew I recognized her when I watched 28 Days Later recently but needed IMDB to confirm.
Just got back from POTC3. It was pretty much exactly the movie I was expecting to see, although with less swordfighting than I would have liked. I was quite glad to see the pair of hapless redcoats from the first movie (do we know their names?), and especially glad to see them end up (gleefully) as pirates. Loved Keith Richards' cameo, and agree that there should have been more Chow Yun-Fat. Keira Knightley still fails to impress me much, but I have mad love for Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom (oh, Orlando! Never change!), who more than make up for Keira. I also have to agree that this movie featured the monkey's best work.
Basically, I enjoyed it, but I don't really ever need to see it again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked Orly more in this movie than the other two. He seemd more THERE somehow.

He totally did. And in the Western scene on that little spit of sand where Jack, Barbossa and Elizabeth are approaching them and he's standing with his weight kind of on one leg and stuff? Jaysus hot. I may need to renew my fan club card.
I think I would see it again, but I don't think I'd buy it unless it were on sale. Do want the soundtrack though. Sufficiently different from #1, yet familiar. The soundtrack for #2 failed to make any impact on me at all.
And man, did I ever love hearing the Jack theme for the first time in the flick. Not as uplifting as the various LotR themes, but still fun.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Must go see Pirates.
I just watched The Wild with Owen--sort of a lame-ass Disney animal animation flick. Not nearly as entertaining as Madagascar but it's got Eddie Izzard as a koala. So damned funny.
