Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
Saw Pirates of the Carribean at the midnight showing. There were a bunch of people dressed in pirate outfits, too.

I love Jack as a character, much less as a person.
It's not as good but it's fun. Also, I saw it at midnight, after a long day, so make of it what you will.

Orlando is certainly the hottest thing I've ever seen on screen
Hotter than he was in KoH? Because I thought that was his hottest moment, probably because that was his best acting and deepest character.
Actually, the whole movie was worthwhile for the scene where Will is going to get whipped and they rip his shirt off and we see his bare back.
H/C and hotness all at once. EEEEeeeeeeee!
wedding night she didn't get to have is definitely on her mind
Had my wedding night with Orlando been cancelled I would be understandably moody myself.
When he sits there at the end, stabbing the table repeatedly with his knife? Not a happy camper. And I think he agrees to join the search for Jack (last, too)mainly because he is trying to do the best for Elizabeth and he thinks Elizabeth wants Jack but repression or not, the boy is going to explode soon. And a pissed off Will is someone I'd steer clear of.Interesting since it looks like it's leading to a magnificent face off ( ... )

There's also the original issues Will had thinking he wasn't good enough for her.
Jack enjoys the process more than the goal, and Elizabeth, goal oriented or not, is prone to stopping or enjoying detours.
Which is why it's totally believable that Elizabeth would be at least a little attracted to Jack. Jack offers a sense of freedom and adventure that Will, no matter how good his heart or how skilled at killing things, never will. Elizabeth has to look forward to settling down and being an upstanding citizen, which would be fine for anyone other than Elizabeth. Will's sense of black and white and his general goodness and naivety can be trying for an adventurous girl.
Especially, since while I can see Elizabeth's views on it being a bit more flexible, Will strikes me as someone who'd insist on waiting until they are marriedNo, Will definitely wouldn't have tarnished his idol of Elizabeth or even dreamed of it, really ( ... )

True. He is sensitive on that issue. Of course, Jack's a pirate so he is even less suitable, but Will's insecurities will definitely make everything worse (he wasn't insecure any more in DMC but the end of it kinda brought that crashing around his ears).

Exactly. Plus, living up to being on a pedestal would probably get a bit trying. She is attracted to Jack with the wild and rule-breaking part of her. He fits something in her heart that even she isn't aware of: pure wanderlust. She enjoys outlawing, and he sense of morality is relative. Neither of those apply to Will.

I have this image of Elizabeth being all for it and getting a bit frustrated with Will over that point :P
They've seemed to fill out and become a lot more overtly masculine than ( ... )

And yes, the angstiness is great!

What you said above about complex character goals is actually what bugged me most about the movie. It just felt TOO scattered and I never felt fully drawn in to the story. It didn't seem all that compelling in and of itself. Maybe it's setting up a hugely compelling third movie, but it just didn't seem to stand alone that well.

And AMEN on more Norrington!
