Yes, the rum is gone. Get over it.
Tonight I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3. A proper response tomorrow, but a few thoughts:
- it’s LONG. Nearly 3 hours long. Be prepared.
- the irritating political commentary in the beginning of the movie is over quickly and, as you might suspect, is never mentioned again because it’s irrelevant.
- they keep reusing the same damn lines. The more subtle things are cleverer, funnier, and not so fucking annoying.
- I do not actually feel sorry for people wearing short sleeves and light cotton when they’re covered in ice. Get a jacket.
- they dumped out everything that was dull, so expect scenes where you wonder who is conning and who being conned, followed by fight or cgi scenes, repeated. This works well.
- Johnny Depp is hotter than John Malkovitch. A lot.
Overall, worth seeing, whether or not you saw #2.
As it turns out, we were sitting beside some band who I suppose I should have heard of, but no. I could tell they were important when they talked about the Ritz and the limos and stuff, and then my friend heard their account number, 00025falloutboy. Apparently that’s why they looked familiar to him. When I got back to the seat and he told me that, I looked blank. But they’re polite, don’t talk in movies, and oddly grateful that we didn’t give their seats away before the show started.

fallout boy is very popular on US mainstream radio, both in “pop” and in “alternative.”
Because I know you were just dying for more information on them…

Yeah, my friend said they were indie pop kind of music.
Do people give away seats that are being held regularly? Because that doesn’t really happen here. But I can also leave my purse on a table at a coffee shop and come back to it still being there.
