(no subject)

Essay is getting to me. Am becoming so familar with Iron Age burials that I can identify them from their pictures... Was staring at one with a large hole in its skull a few minutes ago and realized it was from one of my professor's sites and was one of the potential examples of a ritual burial in Iron Age Britain. I am such a geek...

Went to Judo earlier. Am tired and eating spainish olives to keep awake while I take notes...

Being a geek can be a good thing. As someone who once wanted to study archaeology but ended up not having the grades to make it. I must say I envy you a good bit. And love hearing your various stories.

Also, have watched the scar showing scene. Feel free to badger with questions as you will. :)

I here I thought I was simply sounding obsessive with all these archaeological stories;)

I've been told that Jack doesn't explain the scars, just shows them off so if you could simply assure me of that, and that he doesn't reveal anything about his past we didn't already know, then I'm good:)

Right. Basically Elizabeth asks him if there is any truth to the other stories (as he's just shattered the tale of how he got off the island). He says "Truth?", then shows her the tatoos, then the scar on his arm, then the ones on his chest. Looks at her for a moment. And says, "No truth at all." At which point he promptly changes the subject.

Woot! Merci beaucoup:)

No prob. It's actually a way cool scene. I'm sort of bummed that it was cut.

[deralte.livejournal.com]

It sounds it. Film editors can be strange people. They cut the oddest things...

Well, I can see *why* it was cut. As it doesn't really further the plot a whole lot. It's mostly a character development thing. I'm bummed more as a fanficcer than as a fan. Because it doesn't really *hurt* the movie to not have it (unlike other films where they've cut stuff that would actually have helped clarify other scenes). But having that information as a ficcer gives you worlds more material to work with when writing.

Another cute tidbit. When Jack is sitting on the ship (as Elizabeth's falling off the cliff) talking to Murdoch and Mullroy (forgive misspellings there please) he says something about "And then they made me their chief." That's actually a different version of the story of him getting off the island. Supposedly he made friends with the cannibals on a neighboring island and they helped him off. Just another cute tidbit that can help a fanficcer out. :)

Hehe:) Good to know, though luckily my stories only (heh...) covering Jack's life from the age of thirteen on to when he sets off after the Aztec treasure, so I don't have to worry about what he was doing for those ten years in between losing the Pearl... yet, that is...;)

Though honestly, character development is just as important as plot and I wish more movie makers would learn this fact. That beind said, POTC was well done so I'm not particuarly annoyed with them. At least they released everything on dvd.

I like you and your geeky historical ways!

[deralte.livejournal.com]

*L* You're the third person to assure me of that in the past two days. I guess I should take the hint...

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

That wasn't hinting, darlin'; that was a flat out "I like you and your geeky historical ways." Rather blatant statement, to my mind. *Gryn*

Aw:) *huggles*
