How come I still haven't seen Puresex as Blackbeard? Huh? Huh?

So, Janet Frame? Presentation I started last night and woke up early to finish this morning? On the book that's been kicking my ass for the past couple weeks? THE TEACHER LOVED IT. And when I say loved it I mean loved it. 18 or 19, she said, which is so, so, so kickass, oh god. *beams* I wish there was no final exam on it, though. I'm pretty sure I can't pull off this kind of grade on this book of all books twice. Damn.

Parisian people who read LJ between now and, like, less than two hours, if anybody's interested, I'll be at the 7:10 showing of Clerks 2 at the Orient Express. (We're finally getting that movie seriously.)

Also I cringed a little at seeing a huge poster of Davy Jones. I'm sorry, Bill, I love you, but this part just sucked in the second movie. *fervently hopes At World's End will be good, and maybe even Davy Jones, who knows, although really I'm all about Barbossa and could this asterisk get any longer?*

Speaking of which! Translation question time. So the (sub)title is At World's End, right? They translated it "Jusqu'au Bout du Monde", which is fair enough, except why change the preposition? (You non French speakers, from "at" we're getting "to".) I mean, why go for a directional rather than a locative preposition? It puts a whole new perspective on how said 'World's End' is going to be inscribed in the movie. No, I'm not thinking too much about this, shut up, it shocked me when I read it. Jusqu'au Bout du Monde. It sounds so "Cowabanga!" or something.

That said, the huge Sparrow poster rocks.

You guys, I just realised I hadn't even seen the trailer? I sort of hope I'll manage not to until then, but unfortunately going to the cinema will probably take care of that.

I'll stop rambling now.

Davy Jones and his crew completely ruined the second movie for me. Enough with the CGI, esp. the hammerhead shark guy. Bleah.

You know what I particularly hated about Pirates 2? The hints of Jack/Elizabeth. It's like Disney heard all the annoying fangirls squealing for the pairing and actually GAVE IN. Give me a break.

Fan', you totally said 'Cawabanga'. ♥

I saw the trailer at the cinema when I went to see SP3 and it's been spectaculat... but did nothing for me. I get I got used to the whole omg!awsomelookatthecgiomgthemusiiic!!

Totally. I mean, I adore Bill Nighy, I was psyched about him being in it, but then - what? That was their bad guy? After Geoffrey Rush's Barbossa? Seriously? No. No, no, no.

Oh, god, she was so very Mary-Sued up it was painful. I loved her in the first movie. I loved all of them in the first movie! But between Mary-Sue-Elizabeth and Jack-Sparrow's-Caricature? Yeah, no, thank you.

I have yet to see SP3. Not sure I'm going to either. Oopsie! And exactly. The music is brilliant, okay, fine, we got it, but you need a little more than that to a movie! Even Depp needs a good scenario. Honestly. And don't get me started on the CGI. Is there a lot of CGI then? Hmpf.

SP3 was... painful. The only thing worth seeing was Topher Grace as Eddie/Venom. The rest of the movie was a FAIL!!!

Is there a lot of CGI then? Hmpf.

If we imagine the whole movie is a sandwich and CGI is the bread, the you'll get a huge slice of bread with an olive on the top. :/
