There are currently two things everyone on LJ has to comment on, and I like this one more
I give up any claims to having good taste, at least in comparison with what looks like most of the internet. I enjoyed Spidey 3, I love a terrible manga as if demons drive me to (srsly don't read Katekyo Hitman Reborn! you guys, that might just count as masochism), and I adore Pirates 3. I am still stuck in a haze of adoration and I went to see it on Tuesday. And while I am sporadically pissed that the movie house didn't show the post-credits scene, it's okay because obviously no force on Earth will keep me from buying the DVDs.
Imagine the deleted scenes! Maybe there will even be one to answer the question "Just how much gay sex did they have?!" with regards to Beckett and Jack. Obviously the answer is "A lot. A LOT", but I would like visual confirmation. If there can be death by FACE RAPE (¡♥!) in the actual movie, they can have basically anything as a deleted scene, right? Of course right.
PS face rape: certainly the most badass thing ever. Davy Jones knocked Clint Eastwood and Samuel L. Jackson out of the race, so sorry. Mr Mercer was hardcore and deserved a no less worthy death.
Speaking of - Weatherby. What a way to go, old man. "I'll send regards to your mother, shall I?" Yes, thank you, I love crying in public. And Norrington died awesome so awesome. There's nothing quite like when characters die and the last thing they do - the last thing they know they'll do - is to be themselves, distilled. Norrington! I do wish he had more scenes prior to that, but here is where the deleted scenes will hopefully step in. Besides, he was who he had always been from the first movie, and that's all that was necessary. Also, Bootstrap. Oh, Bootstrap, I couldn't even vaguely dislike you for that. And after it was all over, I bet you even missed the starfish, you softy.
There is so much to feel for all the characters! The movie was full but didn't feel bloated, and it was plain fun. It seemed like even the actors were having fun, hamming it up just enough to make the movie epic and boisterous and (say it with me) FUN. The actors were great this go round, putting so much physicality into their performances, and I loved how the camera made the most of that. One of my favourite moments was when Norrington saw newly-inducted Pirate Lord Elizabeth and wanted her to go to his cabin - Davy Jones was standing in the background going "HURR HURR", and the way it was done says so much - he's bitterly cynical about love and sex, and he'll always pick up on it and be unable to look away.
...Apparently I am an enormous gurl and it would have been worth it for the tragic love stories alone. And the fight scenes. And the pirate population explosion, that was good too.
Actually it might have been worth it for Barbossa alone. I never expected to enjoy him so much. Tia Dalma was gorgeous and heartrending and stupid in that way that gods tend to be. The scads of Pintel and Ragetti did me good, and I cannot say how randomly great it was to see Murtogg and Mullroy. I missed Bosun and Anamaria, but that's okay because mentally they are away because they are busy hooking up. Huh. That would be pretty hot. But the point is: Barbossa orgasms are hilarious, and we must all remember that Ragetti is a sweet and tender lover. (That scene is right up there with "How's Mum?" Captain Keith might have been unnecesary but was in fact a right looker and the Mum joke sort of made me fall in love forever. He looked so serious and crazy both.)
Things Pirates made my brain stew with:
- WILL AND ELIZABETH SITTING IN A TREE. More leg sex is okay too!
- Bootstrap + Will sad terrible horrible but will be a real family in the end dynamics onna ship for ten more years. Yes. (Damn it Will Turner! I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HOT FOR YOU. Good job making the pure young hero archetype your bitch, tho.)
- Hammerhead dude. He was a real shite when he has a shark, so what now? And that guy who was part of the ship, what about him? (Speaking of mermaids, EEL DUDE WINS FOREVER. Hotttt. Too bad about the beheading, but it was in the name of a good cause: Barbossa Being Even More Awesome. At A Wedding. Swashing Buckles, Yo Ho Ho.)
- Hoist the bloody Colours. I couldn't sleep on Tuesday for that song in my head. (Epic beginning. Good on ya, Disney.)
Things about Pirates that probably should be killed directly, but won't be:
- Crossover OTP #2: It's unbearable how well Norrington/Mai Valentine is working in my head. This is looking to be as stupid and yet serious as Illyria/Yami. Yuugiou, why do you do this to me.
- I am unable to get rid of Cutler Beckett = Jack's brother. This makes no sense, and yet. But it's getting in the way of the Jack/Beckett and that is unacceptable. :<
