Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Well...I figured when Jack asked him how his mom was, it was fairly clear that it was his dad.

That must have been when I stepped out. Are you talking about the guy who played that dulcimer/guitar/whatever at the pirate assembly? Keith who, BTW?

That is the fellow, indeed. And Keith Richards. Rolling Stones?

oops! I thought it was his brother.

A few parts went right over my head.

Spoiler:

Davy was in love with that scary lady? And she is the god of the sea?

Loved all the action but there was really a lot of plot going on all at once. It really had me thinking hard.

*cries* *facepalms* So many don't know him...

...actually, I kinda figured the trippy parts were all his fault. He comes around and they ALL start doing some kinda drugs, lol

So uncultured.

Or, well... young.

Eh, eh eh. Hold 'yer horses. I got it.

Ah just came back from the 9:40 showing. I loved every little thing. I was able to follow the plot for the most part (which surprised me, as there was SO much going on), and Depp and Rush pretty much stole the show. I was actually happy with how Will and Elizabeth's story ended. The only complaint would probably be the length, but I found it so good that I know I'll gladly sit there for nearly three hours and watch it all again, especially for the ending fight scenes (they were spectacular!).

Oh and Neutrino:

Spoiler:

About Tia Dalma- she was the goddess Calypso trapped in human form.. The 1st Bretheren Court bound her so that humans would have he power to rule the seas. Davy Jones was a part of that group. It was an act of betrayal on his part-- but I'm foggy as to what caused him to do it. I guess she betrayed him first, but I forget how. I think he thought she was just toying with him or something.

I just got back myself. I enjoyed the movie, quite a bit. Like a lot of people have said, it's not as good as the first, but it is more sharper than the second. And I thought the end battle was really great. I also liked it when you can actually hear Sparrow working out a plan, and while the other pirates watch him as if he's gone mad, (well, techinally speaking, Sparrow did go mad, and he admitted it) he ends up being quite the clever one. Figuring out how to get the ship back to the living dimension, was very funny.

[gobo]

I thought Keith Richards was supposed to be super-skinny. That last name came to mind, but I decided not to possibly make a fool of myself. So... oops!

As for the split-personality thing, that was obvious, I thought. It was the effects of being in Davy Jones' Locker... or just solitude alone. It was always evident that Jack wasn't the most mentally stable of minds. So, that was his self-reflection projected for the purposes of keeping his mind active and avoiding the feeling of loneliness. It's actually psychologically sound reasoning.

[Revan]

I stayed after the credits for the short little scene, which gets a thumbs up from me. It was a nice feel good moment.

Spoiler:

Is there any way Will can become mortal again? Because thats a huge bummer for him and his lady that they can only see each other every 10 years.

The stupidity of the people (mostly teenage girls) in my audience here in pittsburgh,p.a. was friggin astounding.

Yes in todays moronic watrerd down culture thinking = bad.
Or just to hard seriously I wish I had a gun through half of this movie to take out people who spoke during it or would make moronic comments.

Why do people insist on doing that? And THEN complain about not being able to understand the plot? Morons.

Spoiler:

Anyways, who else got a kick out of the whole 'telescope size' thing?

[Anarky]

Wait, there's people who didn't get the Keith-Dad-thing? Not only was it all over mainstream media when they shot the movie, but the two looked alike, spoke alike and Keith had mom's head. The only thing how they could have made it more obvious that he was Jack's dad would have been to make him hold a sign that says "I am Jack's dad" with a picture of Jack next to it. Also, one should know the Rolling Stones when looking at them... or part of them.

And am I the only one who really, really hates these scenes after the end credits? Not because I always miss them, but because they're just a lame thing to keep the people in the movies longer.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Yeah, those scenes, while cute, are far too short for me to be sitting for 10-15 minutes of end credits. Especially when I could've used the bathroom and came back, instead of stressing my bladder out to watch something that lasted no more than two minutes....


ETA:

Spoiler:

Was anyone else mildly disappointed to see Norrington die? And Governor Swann, too come to think of it...

Yeah I'm not sure if it's just over here in America but people are seriously becoming dumber and dumber as the days go on but I could just be thinking this because I'm moving myself futher and futher outside of society.

Oh, I did. That little joke seemed to be something only a few actually got. Maybe a handfull of us laughed our asses off at that one. But it was even funnier when some 13 year old was like "what's so funny?"

My crew who went to see the movie also thought it was funny as hell when Jack got slugged right in the nose. It was a direct punch, and it was so freaking funny. We laughed a goo 15 minutes at that one!

The parrot at the end was funny too. "Abandon ship, abandon ship!"

This was a really fun movie.

Yeah, just a bit. The Govenore was acually pretty poignant from Elizabeth's POV, it would have givven her good feason to step up to the plate as Captain, now that she really wasn't bound as the "Governor's Daughter" anymore.

But it could have been better to habe Norrington actually choose and join the side of the Pirates. Would have been great to see him shake off that ridiculous get up and into something more hip.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Yeah I was hoping he and Sparrow would be forced to interact with each other again.

I know. Me too.

Spoiler:

Norrington, especially.

It's completely true. I've been saying for the last couple weeks, that stupidity is a disease, and is spreading quickly.

Where I work, no lie, almost every day I get asked the same question (this is just one example, mind you. I have tons and am actually thinking of writing a book about the crazy stories I have.) But anyhow... people call and ask what time we open. "8:00." 'What time do you close?' "9:30." '...PM?'

I wanna be like, 'No. We're open for an hour and a half.'

[Anarky]

Living over the big pond, I can say that we have the idiots too. And they're becoming more and more as well. If you want an example, here's a funny one: I sometimes hel my mom correct their students' tests and in one of those tests they had to read a text that warned people with low blood pressure to go up mountains, because there might be health risks. Anyways, the first question about this text was "Which people are being warned to climb up mountains?" The correct answer, of course, would be "People with low blood pressure." Not rocket science, is it? Well... you'd be a fool to assume that everyone got this question. I got to read "Southerners", "Humans", "Men", "I don't understand the question" (seriously, I wish I was making this up) and the best of all of them... "Jungfraujoch". Since when does a mountain qualify as a person? Anyways, people like that are the reason why you can't put me behind a reception-desk. I'd be the most cynical ass they'd ever met in their whole lives.

[Mecha Cow]

Well, it's nice to know this forum is filled with the smartest people on the planet. Who never say a word while watching a movie.
