It’s an experience!
Especially if you go with me when I’m overtired. I
should always watch movies in the theater when I’m overtired.
Ha!
Bill and I took each other out for early birthday presents to see Pirates 2,
and I can’t remember ever enjoying a show more. I laughed SO
much. And cringed and ewww-ed, and cowered in my seat, and
covered my ears, and pulled my feet up off the floor, and rolled my
eyes, and said “of course!” more than once, and laughed and laughed and
laughed. It’s fun being in a somewhat responsive audience–at
least I’m not the only one reacting out loud. Not that it would
have stopped me… Anyway, I loved seeing it
with my cousin. He told me when a jump-scene was coming, laughed
at my frustrations over the characters’ decisions, teased me later
about screaming over something small, and whispered comments back and
forth. (Our cousins will be to-die-for husbands for some
lucky girls…I’m just glad I get ’em by default.) It
was fun to go to a movie with a guy, too, for once. And it
was fun to connect with him; see things at the same level. We
talked about it all the way out and all the way home. I felt like
a kid, gushing over a movie. And I felt like an adult,
recognizing the moments for what they were. Those
wouldn’t-trade-it-for-anything kinds of moments.
So, yes, the movie is excellent. I’m impressed. (More
importantly, Bill was impressed, which is hard to do.) It has a
great new organ theme added for…oops, can’t tell! And a
very, VERY well placed waltz. Yes, a waltz. In a
pirate movie. And no, it’s not a wedding waltz. And anyone
who can coordinate a three-way sword fight in a rolling mill wheel
deserves a medal.
Oh, and stay for the last scene…at the end of the credits.

I really want to see that movie.
I never did get to see it.
I saw it! And I want to see it again, it’s all still confusing to my little mind. And I want to see the last scene, I totally missed that.
I’ve seen the first, not the second.
I saw this movie tonight with three girls from church…and no, don’t even think that… I want to live on the island where the wheel was…alas, I am here in Tennessee
Ya lucky shmuck.
There is another scene after the credits?!?!
Darn I’ll just have to see it again.
the quote came from “A Nightmare on Elm Street part 7:Freddy gets too old to bother people and becomes a Wal Mart greeter”ok, no I don’t know where it came from, but “you’ve got mail” would seem apropos…what I didn’t want you to think was that I was some kind of cad ( a word which quite frankly needs to come back into the public usage) who spent a lot of time attending movies with 3 girls at a time!! Because I am trying to be more conscious of the way I present things when it comes to these matters…it was just the luck of the draw…plus I think this is on my mind more because the last few group outings I have went on with my church’s singles have been one or two guys and a bunch of girls and I was feeling a bit uncomfortable about it…so much so that I skipped out on the larger group that saw Pirates Friday Night at a Drive In…maybe I’m just goofy…I think most guys would like evenings like that, but me, I just end up thinking too much and feeling uncomfortable…ok, I’ll stop the novella now !!
My mom and dad told me and my husband to stay for the end of the credits. She said it would “explain everything”. She kept a straight face too. I could have killed her. I was expecting some explanation of the last scene and I got…you know what I got.
It was a cute movie!
Who knows? He may save the day in the next movie!?!
