I AM GOING TO SEE PIRATES IN FOUR HOURS AND WE ARE GOING TO DRINK RUM AND SMUGGLE IT IN IF AT ALL POSSIBLE AND I AM WEARING 5000 BANGLE BRACELETS WHEEEEEEEE.
I got to see it on Monday and I've been trying to contain myself. I wrote a not-really-spoilery review just now here (http://rclementmoore.livejournal.com/134548.html). Is it a spoiler to say I loved it?
What sucks so bad is that everybody gets super excited over it and when you KNOW the ending from back in October because SOMEBODY threw you their script sides and commands that you read it so that THEY can go all Squeely McSqueelface at all the neato stuff they saw on set...you lose something.
BUT if nothing else, you will enjoy it. Just...yeah. Big set piece. Drop acid.
1 750ml bottle of Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum 2 Boxes Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End fruit snacks 1 Large bag Hershey's "Treasures" candies 1 Pirates of the Caribbean set of mouse ears from Disneyland. 2 cups of coke 4 friends
Hee, at my theatre the costuming went so far as to extend to the cashier girls, who were all wench-ed up. (There were many trailers beforehand, including one for live-action Underdog. My favorite reaction - one of my friends saying grimly: "I don't know about that.") Oooh, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on [various things in the entire movie]!
Have a great time! Haha, I just wanted to share this:
CAIRO, Egypt - Customs officers at Cairo’s airport on Thursday detained a man bound for Saudi Arabia who was trying to smuggle 700 live snakes on a plane, airport authorities said.
I can't find the article, but I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
I know a few other people have said this, but STAY AFTER THE CREDITS. It ill make you happy. Very, very happy.. Also, Kenneth Eng's in jail: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/05/23/BAGDFQ05N86.DTL I am very happy right now.
Oh, man. You will love it. And, though a fantastic addition to the cinematic pantheon Jack Sparrow may be, Captain Barbossa is pretty much the best thing to happen to piracy since Long John Silver. Enjoy!
My wife has your book, flipping through the pages I just didn't understand where all the "funny" was. Until I found your "LJ". I came to find your "funny" was hiding in this here journal. Very entertaining.
SPLENFUCKINGDIFEROUS! THERE ARE NO WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE HOW FUCKING FANTABULOUS THAT MOVIE WAS! OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIAMSOHYPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
