James and I went to see the new Pirates movie last night.
We had a good time and enjoyed the movie. It not nearly as good as the first one, in my opinion, but as sequels go it was pretty good. There were lots of funny parts, but they relied a lot more on sight gags this time (some that were a little gross), and less on actual witty repartee. And, simply because I like things to wrap up nicely, I found it a little irritating that the end was a cliffhanger. I can live with Jack's fate being up in the air, but it just irks me that the movie ended with Will thinking Elizabeth was running around on him with Jack.
Griping aside, though, I did enjoy it, and I'm sure I'll buy it when it comes out on DVD. The scene where they are fighting on the waterwheel was hilarious, as was Jack's kebab predicament. I love the undead monkey. I have to go back and watch the first one because I don't remember Bennett at all. I also don't remember enough to know how the guy with the fake eye and his companion escaped death at the end of the first movie.
I'm now dying to see the Will Ferrell movie that was promoed. Is it Ricky Bobby? That looks hysterical. James laughed so hard at the trailer, I was tempted to move down the row from him. Actually, I want to see pretty much all the movies that I saw trailers for last night. I don't even like Kevin Costner or Ashton Kucher, and I want to see their new movie. The Ben Stiller movie is a given. I love him. James will want to see the football movie with Mark Wahlberg, and I'll go along with that. I couldn't care less about football, but I think Mark Wahlberg's a surprisingly good actor.
We ordered Chinese for lunch. I hope it gets here soon, I'm starving.
