Michelle's guaranteed way to save time
I know for a fact that a few members of this here blog are going to disagree with me. In fact, they disagreed with me vehemently, in person, just last night. So I wasn't going to say anything. But then I thought of the rest of you, those with good taste, those not looking to waste their money and time. I thought of you and I knew, you had to be fairly warned.
DO NOT GO SEE Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It makes no difference if you liked the first one. Heck, I own the first one. However, if you are too true a fan to skip the sequel, my suggestion is rent it when it comes out, fast forward to a few of the action scenes, but don't bother watching them all the way through, you'll assuredly be bored by then end of them. Give them 30 seconds each, then move on. Check out the lady in the water hut with the black teeth and the squid faced Davy Jones, but don't bother trying to figure out the plot. It's convoluted, it's stupid, and nothing is resolved in the end anyway (stupid trilogies). There, I just saved you two and a half hours.
And because I'm in such a giving mood this morning, I present you with the Trailer for The Prestige. I would rather watch this 3 minute trailer on a loop for 3 hours than ever watch Dead Man's Chest again. I'm not even joking.
jim made me see the first one, and it was at a theater that served beer. usually being wasted elevates a movie like snow dogs to the level of watchable, but all the grolsch in the world couldn't save it. don't get why people get so excited when gilbert grape puts on eyeliner and acts like he's k-holing.
Whatever. Pirates RULEZ and you KNOW IT
Y'know, she's right. If you hate adventure, awesome stuff, and great movies, don't waste your time.
Wish I would've seen this one a little high... which I'm sure would have made it less boring, but not by much.
Karen and I went to see it last night - we totally agree with you.
I was like - wtf is this commodore guy? And then after a while, oh ya he was like a tertiary character in the first movie, even more forgettable than the practically invisble orlando bloom.
And finally, when they started fighting on the beach, my feelings about the movie dropped so low that I stopped caring and just wanted the crapfest to end.
Booooooooooooooooooo.
