pirates of the caribbean

this movie rocked. seriously. so much fun. i mean, if you want something SERIOUS and THINKABLE than screw you. but the swordfight swashbuckling, the beautiful people, the crazy dialogue of johnny depp as CAPTAIN jack sparrow. all so good. explosions! boats! ships, i mean! beaches! treasure! i could go on! but i will stop!

favorite things about this movie:
the insouciant johnny depp playing a drunken, manic pirate to the very hilt of his ability. the man is a fucking genius.
the incredibly sexy-cute facial expressions of orlando bloom and his camaraderie with johnny depp and love of the pretty girl. plus he's just adorable.
keira knightley's gorgeously tanned skin, long legs, beautiful eyeballs, the package does it for me. i'm reminded with delight of the scene in 'bend it like beckham' when she's dancing with jonathan rhys-meyer in the club in germany in that tiny little pink top. holy sweet jesus. hot. but that's another movie. i will stop talking about it too.

favorite dialogue bits:
sparrow rips off elizabeth's corset
soldier man: "never would have thought of that."
JS: "clearly you've never been to singapore."

commodore: "you're the the worst pirate i've ever heard of"
JS: "ah but you have HEARD of me."

and then the whole sea turtle escape method when will is hearing about it for the first time.
"he roped the sea turtles together into a raft."
will: "he roped sea turtles. (pause) what did he use for rope?"
stumped silence till the camera pans out to show sparrow
JS: human hair. from my back." swishily walks off. oh the swish. so great.

anyway, i seriously enjoyed this movie and recommend it highly. to the point where i will say that upon release this movie will be mine immediately. that is how much i liked it. you can say that due to the number of movies i own, some of them quite crap, that's not much of a recommendation. but keep in mind most of those i buy for discounted prices to free, i don't often buy movies the day they're released. that requires forethought and planning that i don't usually possess because i'm lazy. but for pirates i will scrape together all my faculties.
