Pirates

[deralte]

Hehe. Had so much fun at Pirates of the Carribean. sylk and I barely stopped laughing (though we really aren't quite sure if the movie was meant to be that amusing...I'm thinking not...). Another movie where thinking too hard about it got in the way, but fun all around.


I hadn't realized they sold no-run mascara and eye shadow back then.

Jack was so flaming, but he probably had the most fun in the movie. Good lines most of the time when they weren't cliche, and the best intro.

Loved the set ups of the actual animatronics from the ride, though they brought back odd flashbacks (like someone forcing me to recite the whole pirates song before they would let me on the ride...)

Nice eyecandy, didn't even mind Orlando.

Will was such a geek/dork. It was very cute. He was so not a blacksmith though...

Barbarossa's apple fetish (note the appearance of the apple in his hand upon his death. I'm afraid our laughter upon seeing that was disturbing people.)

Heroine wasn't that bad. She didn't really annoy me, which is unusual.

Ending rather choppy but so were many bits of it. Still fun and a great laugh.


In other news, I dreamt about Saiyuki all last night. Very, very nice, though the dream about me writing humour fic is strangely vivid. In fact, will be typing it up at some point. Quite odd to write something in your sleep.

I so agree with you.

Btw, what were your thoughts on the balance of Will's good sword? I was surprised that it was so close to the hilt, although telepwen said that katanas are balanced that way.

The one he made for Norrington you mean? It's concievable that the balance would be nearer the hilt (curved weapons with a single edge seem to lend themselves to that) not to mention Will explained why the weight was there himself by saying the tang was nearly the full width of the blade (the tang is the part of the blade that extends into the handle, the longer the tang the less likely it is to break in battle... and most katana's are made that way). What I assume Will meant was that hte tang was wide and long (ie. heavy) which balanced out the other end of the blade. A good blade for swashbuckling, then:)
