Pirates!
I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides yesterday! It was... well, not great, not gonna lie. The plot was everywhere, the pacing was weird and not even the soundtrack was as good as the others (bit derivative, even for POTC). The thing about the POTC movies, though, is that they are so good at cinematography and atmosphere. Every single one of them has such magic, beautiful scenery, in its own way, and this was probably the nicest bit about this movie. For example I really loved that forest made out of twisted roots and branches and covered in fog - oddly enough I was writing a fic with something pretty much just like that, lol. Ah well.
Angelica was a bit, eh, ok. She was all right, but Penélope Cruz never seems to be as good in movies in English, it's like they just waste her talent. SIGH. I liked Syrena, even though the idea of having a mermaid called 'mermaid' is a bit loltastic. (And I was bothered by Philip just choosing her name). She was pretty fierce, though. Philip was SO ANNOYING though. It was all like BLAH BLAH BLAH SAVE YOUR SOUL BLAH BLAH YOU'RE SO PRETTY YOU CAN'T BE EVIL, BLAH BLAH STILL GOING ON ABOUT SOUL SAVING. It was like they took Will and his naivety and turned it up tenfold! And even with that, I sort of liked their final kiss? But overall I dislike it when they have INSTANT!LOVE in movies. Lusting after someone is not the same as loving them! And there's nothing wrong with that. And I really don't get why Jack left Angelica in the island at the end? I mean, what? But at least it looked pretty?
So my uncle was run over today. He's ok, he's only being kept in the hospital for observation and he's really dizzy, but man, what are the odds, right? He was trying to cross the street, looking the PROPER way, when a car backed up to get into a parking space and didn't see him. o___o My aunt was mostly grounded, but his twin brother was looking so lost, poor thing, and wouldn't leave his side, lol.
