Jack and Will... hehe

So, okay, you win. I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean and, yes, it was really very good. And I assume everybody caught that part with the swords...

I was hesitant to see it for a while because, although it seemed the whole world was screaming about it, whenever I asked if it was good I got the same answer.

"Two words, man: Johnny. Depp."

Which is a perfectly valid reason for going to see a movie, but it kinda evades the question.

But, still, PoC was probably the best movie I've seen in months (even if the bullet thing made no sense), and, sure, Depp was hot. And he played one of the most interesting characters I've met in some time; if you're me, that counts for a lot.

After that we went to see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, because it was my turn to buy the tickets and I'm morbid that way. I didn't mind it as much as I thought I would, but that's not saying much, really. I honestly don't think the screenwriters bothered to read any of the appropriate literature, and there were other things to giggle at too.

Sigh. You know you've been in fandom too long when the best description of a movie seems to be: "A poorly done crossover." But there it is.

you didn't think the bullet thing made sense? i thought it made sense.

[hi, by the way. i'm wandering around the f_s_i_t friendspage. hence why someone you've never heard of is commenting on this.]

Well, it sort of made sense, except for the way he kept getting the pistol wet. You'd think it wouldn't fire after ten years, especially what with the fishing it out of the ocean.

Minor quibble, though.

(notassuch, I could've given you more reasons than JD to see the movie! I mean, much as I am now a JD fan, I wasn't before.)

ah. yes, that is a good point.

i thought it made sense.
Well, it's that he was shot before he became mortal again. If that counted, what about all the stabbing that had just occured? Shouldn't that have counted too, and all those previously cursed have suddenly bled to death?

And, also, hi back. No issue, nobody here's ever heard of me, either.

see, the way i interpreted it was that jack shot him because he saw will slice his hand, so the bullet hit him just as the curse was lifted.

as for the ten-second delay for him to react ... well, no reason to pretend that's anything other than disney's fondness for dramatic pauses. *grin*
