Pirates of the Caribbean

[sugarplumkitty]

We don't go to the movies anymore unless something we really want to see goes to the cheap theaters. Even when I was working full time for decent pay we didn't go very often. The prices are ridiculous to sit in a theatre where someone is either yakking non-stop or kicking the back of my seat or constantly unwrapping candy with noisy wrappers - very slowly during all the quiet suspense moments. The irritation level is too much.

As a result, I didn't see Pirates of the Caribbean until it was on TV Thursday night. I'd read all the reviews and it was highly rated. I've loved Johnny Depp in every role he's ever played. But somehow a movie made from a Disney RIDE seemed like a really stupid idea. A couple of weeks ago he was on Letterman talking about Pirates of the Caribbean II. They'd just finished filming III. I'd skipped going to lab because I was feeling extremely tired. As it turned out, the virus was making a short term comeback. We turned on the TV to find Pirates just starting. I told Eric "I want to watch this. It's supposed to be really good!" He didn't resist. I was very glad I came home instead of going to lab.

I loved it. Maybe we should rent the DVD to see the whole thing without commercials. I've asked him if we could go see II in the cheap theater when it gets there. He said he should have paid closer attention to it. LOL We recorded it, but I'd like to see it uncut.

Yesterday my lungs weren't behaving. They wouldn't let me sleep, yet they didn't give me enough oxygen to study. But my day of rest seems to have worked. The warning wheeze feeling is gone. Instead of sleeping 9.5 hours, I woke up after my usual 6. I'm still tired but at least I don't feel sick. Guess I'd better get myself to Saturday lab to get my work caught up.

My recommendation is to buy the DVD. Renting a DVD is nearly $5. If you look around and buy it at a good price, you can buy it for probably around $12 or $15. Thus, you only have to watch it three times to come out equal, and more than three to come out ahead. I've already watched my Pirates DVD probably close to 10 or more times. (:

Isn't Johnny Depp scrumptious in a bad-boy way?

Well, my first love is of course Orlando Bloom. But I really like Johnny Depp as well. (:

lol, is Orlando Bloom the pirate orphan/blacksmith guy?

Ah, I'm just not attracted to the young guys. He's cute, though. :)

I hate watching movies on the telly because they always edit out stuff. You should rent it! Or see if your local library has it and then you can borrow it without having to pay money. :)

We will! The library has DVDs? ooooh...

that film was such a romp! I loved it. made better by Depp, but I'm pretty sure I would have loved it even if someone else had been Cap'n Jack. It has a wonderful soundtrack, too. If you'd like to have that, I can probably upload it again.

No thanks. We'll probably buy the DVD so we'll have it!

Definitely rent POTC. I'm still stunned over how good it is.

Feel better!
