I've got a jar of dirt!

Jul 10, 2006 17:33

If possible, I love Captain Jack Sparrow *even more* than I did before.

It's almost as if the writers, the director, all the actors and producers, all got together and asked themselves "What kind of sequel would really make hafital a happy happy, blithering mass of incoherent goo?" And then, went ahead and made it so.

Loved all *sorts* of things about this movie, not least that it made me, finally, like Will. He's been... I dunno, too shiny and unscuffed 'til now for me to like him. And I adored so many of the things you mentioned. ::cheerful:: Now I'm going to wait for someone to write me Jack/Will/James fic....

Yeah, I may just be a complete Will fan after this movie. :) I don't know if he's just written better this time, or if Orlando grew into the part more. Whatever the case, he was great. Adored him.

LOL. Well, there have been some already, you know, after the first film. I imagine there will be more to come. I can probably find links for you, if you want.

Jack/Will/James can be nice, but I have issues with stories that leave Elizabeth out.

I think they gave Will more dimensions in this one, but either way, it was nice to see.

And really? I wouldn't have thought there'd be much of that 3some after the first movie. I've read some very good J/W/E and liked it. With me, it's a matter of, 'So, why isn't X there?' If the author has a good reason, I'm fine with it. Come to that, I probably ought to just wander the fandom again. ::g:: 'Cause really? James/Will/Elizabeth might also be interesting.

I really am wondering what's going on with Norrington after this film. I'm not buying that a man who made commodore just handed over Davy Jones' heart without some kind of backup plan....

I agree that Norrington has a back-up plan. I just don't think he could put it into place *without* handing the heart over to Beckett first.I would agree with this, mostly becuase it's hard to figure out how he would be able to have a back up plan in place already, but I'm not committing myself to any one way of thinking or form of speculation ( ... )

Oh, I would never say Norrington is condemned, even if he did know Beckett before hand and knew what kind of man he was! (and I'm right there with you on the unlikelyness of them knowing each other aside from reputation) That's not even remotely what I'm saying, and I should be clearer.

I think Norrington might have a clue that Beckett is not up to any good -- Norrington is smart and I wouldn't dispense with the possiblity that he knows much more of what's going on then it would seem, even while drunk. That's a trait he shares with Jack, and he learns faster than either Elizabeth or Will. So, if I believe that about Norrington, then I can't believe he's entirely blind to what he's doing when he hands over the heart to Beckett, and that's what I mean when I say I have faith that Norrington knows what he's about.

I don't think that condems him, at all. Anymore then I think Jack agreeing to sign over 100 souls to Davy Jones condemns *him* or Elizabeth manacling Jack to the Pearl condemns her ( ... )

The bad thing is that obviously I wasn't clear; the good thing is that you were. Exactly what I *meant*, only said much more precisely. Thanks!
