oh my god.
oh my god.
oh my god.
I SPENT FUCKING EIGHT DOLLARS ON A TICKET AND ANOTHER TEN DOLLARS ON PEANUT M&M'S AND A COKE.
I HADN'T SLEPT IN 24 HOURS.
THREE HOURS LATER I HAD A HEADACHE THE SIZE OF THE BLACK PEARL AND NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT THAT MOVIE WAS ABOUT.
ten minutes into the film i knew i had made a massive mistake dragging my mom, my sister, and dylan and his family to see pirates at 9:15 PM last night.
there were at least seven instances when dylan and i turned to each other at the same time in complete, utter confusion and horror as the film twisted and pulled and dropped plot lines and picked up new ones like a tornado on acid.
i have never been so disappointed or felt more intellectually above the entirety of the audience around me. they laughed at every single age-old, recycled, poorly done comedic gimic that was stolen from geniuses and pathetically played out. for a country that gets all of its information and culture from television, the audience last night certainly knows nothing of comedic or cinematic history, let alone the basics of storytelling. i could almost pinpoint exactly the next line or the next plot twist gone horribly wrong.
OH MY GOD. CALYPSO'S HUMAN FORM IS ONE OF THE WOMEN ON THE SHIP? CERTAINLY IT IS NOT THE FIERY, SENSUAL JAMAICAN WITH A DEEP LOVE FOR THE OCEAN AND AN ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH CRABS!
IT MUST BE THE SKINNY, HALF-BRAINED BRIT WITH NO SENSE OF INTELLIGENCE, ACTING ABILITY, COMEDIC TIMING, OR SCREEN PRESENCE!
fuck. fuck me.
why, why did they abandon countless interesting stories and relationships that could have been played out in the movie just so that the monkey shooting out of a canon could have more screen time?
i don't understand hollywood or bruckheimer, but i shouldn't have expected anything more. there was way too much, and not nearly enough.
one thing though. i was extremely pleased with the ending. the VERY ending which took place after all the credits had gone up.
>>>>SPOILER ALERT<<<<
will comes back after ten years and knightley is waiting on a distant shore with his ten year old son. and i realized, balls, they only get to spend about five or six days together in their entire lifetime. and that made me happy.
