Midway through your pre-OST thoughts, I realized I just can't finish reading this right now. I have a near-pathological determination not to read other people's thoughts about PotC films before jotting down my own initial reaction -- because I like my initial reaction to be just that, initial. Reading other people's thoughts before I do that makes it more likely that my own write-up will be less about my initial impressions and more a reaction to whatever I've read. And since I still vaguely like the idea of doing my little long-winded write-ups in order to record my immediate responses to these all-important Stories, for my own edification if nothing else -- well, I'm gonna wait to read this posting, is what I'm saying (in as long a way as possible, apparently XD ( ... )

Haha... It's almost certainly for the best that you're waiting anyway, since I'm still tweaking it a bit. I pretty much wrote seven pages of contradictory claims...all of which are, I believe, true, and I still haven't _quite_ figured out how. Even if I _did_ feel that this was completely finished*, I would still absolutely agree that you should get your thoughts down before you read anyone else's. I remember how tough it was to resist reading your DMC and AWE thoughts before I was done scribbling mine down, but it is just something you have to do, I think.

1) I didn't wind up discussing the Kraken scene in any depth because you have pretty well covered it and it's Supreme Awesomeness elsewhere, but yeah, those two scenes are pretty much perfection. Oh, Hector2) Again, your mother is, in fact, quite awesome ( ... )
