Dig this, went to see Pirates. Love the ride, hated the second movie, first one was aaight. It felt like they were trying to shove way to much shit into one movie. Then they hype up like Calypso, then she just turns into a giant jacuzzi. Also they hype this huge pirate fight but only 2 ships really go at it. Plus they killed off the only truly likeable character, The Kraken. Chow yun fat goes out like a punk. Also, if I was Orlando Bloom and I could only fuck Keira knightely once every 10 years. Well damn, Kill me now. This movie is for anyone who thought Willy Wonka was better cause of Johnny Depp.
ie, women and lil kids.

sorry. peace, stein. . .
What, you mad, doggie?
90% of Strut's posts don't HAVE to exist but...they do.
Anyways, Stein - if you bothered to go see the first 2 then that'd be the only reason you'd want to see this. It's as much a mess as all the critics have said it was though Depp and Geoffrey Rush are totally watchable. Pity no one else is, except maybe for the monkey.
Btw, if you do go, sit through all the credits.
You guys seen Shrek 3 yet?
This is the movie i wanna see.
And Chunk better get to do the truffle shuffle with Kiera Knightley in the end.
I wouldn't say seeing the first two was even reason enough to see this one.
The movie's too long, and I'd have to say I was bored enough to have got up and left several times durin it. It just seemed like a bunch of half formed ideas stuck together. And what made the concept likeable in the first place was Depp's character, but they focus way too much on Knightly and Bloom, neither of who can act, let alone hold a movie.
Cosign on the monkey though.
I left pretty quich sharp, so I missed what ever comes after the credits, please to explain.
That just made my morning.
Goonies never say DIE!
3 minutes which was just about right.
Oh no... They're not getting me again.
It's nothing earth-shattering but there's a bonus scene which takes place 10 years later where Elizabeth comes to the sea, with son in tow (saw that one coming), there's a green flash and Will returns on the Flying Dutchman. Supposedly, the writers intended this to mean the "curse" was broken but the scene itself gives no such indication other than the idea that this is Will's one-day-out-of-ten-years conjugal visit. I guess the filmmaker felt like there needed to be more "closure" though given the unconvincing chemistry between the two of them, I don't know if people were clamoring to see this.
Didn't see Pirates 2. How was that one?
Save it for TRANSFORMERS!

I thought the 2nd Pirates movie was almost as bad as the 2nd Matrix movie, which was one of the worst I've ever seen ever.
Ha Ha you summed it up pretty well.
Not in every case. I haven't seen "Spiderman 3" (nor "Shrek 3") and don't plan to, at least, not in theatres.
But in general, do I like popcorn blockbusters? Hell yeah. Two reasons:
1) I'm as much as fan of escapism as the next guy. I spend enough time as it is, in the class room, on the film festival circuit, off Netflix, etc. catching up on small and indie films all the time. If I'm going to pay $9 FOR A FUCKING MATINEE (?!?!?!?!), I'm on some, "entertain me, you clown bitches!" tip. I like getting lost inside a movie - like most folks in my generation, the very first film I ever remember watching in the theatres is "Star Wars."
2) I love movie watching as a social experience. I like hearing the roar of the audience, the collective gasps and shouts. And for better or worse, I'm far more likely to get that watching some big popcorn flick than I am an art house circuit darling. I thought "Breach" was a great film, for example, but it's not like watching "Bad Boys 2" when folks are cheering during some of the action sequences. The latter isn't a better film but it can make for a better film-watching experience.
Maybe the 3rd Lord of the Rings. I didnt see it.
Spiderman
Batman
Superman
Star Wars
GodFather
Blade
Matrix
Alien
Terminator
Add on.
I was laughing at the end of LotR3. I've always hated didactic Christian writers, Lewis and Tolkien being the two more notoriously heavy-handed punks. It's no surprise that their books are for children.
Here's a good third installment:
How do they fuck?
The answer is only 99 cents + shipping from Amazon marketplace.
Army of Darkness.
End of list, although Rocky 3 had Mr. T in it.
glad i watched it on the internet and didnt spend the money. i woulda been upset at the waste of cash.
