Once in a blue moon.

[starlady]

Technically the blue moon was yesterday, but whatever. I have to admit, after seeing "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" again, that I liked it a lot better this time. It made more sense and I was able to accept the fates of the characters much more easily. Except for the one character who gets it in the middle of the film. Unfair! No! Uncool! Deserved better! I stand by, however, by my statement that it's crying out for a fourth movie. And I have to wonder about Lord Cutler Beckett's true motivations, too. But maybe I should ask Amanda what she thinks about that. ^_^ Spike said that perhaps the movie making more sense had something to do with me being completely sober. She might be right. Or not. I should say, I saw the movie Monday night and then we went back to the hotel and had my graduation champagne, and I had that song "Hoist the Colors" stuck in my head for the next few days. I will post the lyrics shortly, because it has a lot to do with my mood. And my feelings about graduation, etc.

So indeed, as if you hadn't guessed, I'm back in Jersey. Trying to unpack all my crap. Wish me luck with that. Next up, the units and Spike are heading to Wildwood, so the bird and I will be watching the house this weekend. This might be painful. Also, I no longer have health insurance. That's the best graduation gift of all! Or not.

Well, maybe having the house to yourself for a weekend will be nice. Good luck unpacking. That's always chaotic.

I think I want to see Pirates again as well. Mayhap on Sunday while Chris is working. What exactly do you see as being unresolved so that a fourth movie is needed? I wouldn't mind one, but I thought things were pretty tied up. I agree about the character death in the middle. That was badly done.

Yeah, he totally deserved better.

I don't know, the whole ending where Jack gets the ship taken away from him again and then they all say "Fountain of youth!" just seems to be screaming for more to me. Plus I just don't like seeing Jack without the Pearl.

A couple of characters get it in the middle of the film. Both of which deserved better. One of them deserved an onscreen death, too! He's Jonathon Pryce, for gossakes! And he gets a boat. I was upset.

And I have to wonder about Lord Cutler Beckett's true motivations, too.
So do I. Did you wonder, too, about why he choked at the end? He's getting sammiched, and he doesn't even try to make a stand. What's up with him?

Good luck unpacking. That's always an unpleasant part of any move. Packing itself is bad, too. Which do you find the most repugnant?

No health insurance, eh? Just don't get hit by a lorry.

Has anyone ever told you that you are obsessed with people getting hit by a lorry? :)

You know, to be honest I hadn't even remembered Jonathon Pryce's character. I never liked his character very much, actually, which is probably why.

I have a friend who says that Lord Cutler Beckett might be in love with Jack. In an I-hate-you-I-must-destroy-all-pirates kind of way. I'm not sure what to think of that but I was thinking about it as I watched it this time around.

I dislike unpacking more, really, because then you have to find a place for the crap, whereas with packing you just have to shove it in containers.

I didn't know Leigh posted on here...

"I no longer have health insurance. That's the best graduation gift of all! Or not." = the funniest thing I've heard today.

I hope someone's amused. ^_^

Quality time with Joey eh? What are you doing this summer anyway?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have spent most of the last 48 hours sitting in the kitchen so that His Nibs doesn't go crazy. I ahve to go shower in a second though.

I am not doing much of anything this summer, but am going to visit a lot of people, you included (I should have booked the tickets three weeks ago by the way) and I need a job. Probably temping.

Do I sense bitterness towards the bird?!?
Yay temping! Yay you visiting! (One of those is sarcastic and maybe you can figure out which)
I watched Pirates 1 last night in preparation for Pirates 3 on Saturday. I think this was the first time I understood the plot. That really makes me question my intelligence.
Oh and re. men's clothes-hey they're stylish and feminine so what's not to like?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little bitterness. Why the hell he likes me so much, I'll never know.

I would definitely rewatch Pirates 2 if you can, a lot of remarks they toss off in 3 are pretty relevant to 2 and vice versa.

Re: visiting--can we go to the Walker? And there's a shoujo exhibition at MCAD i've been wanting to see. but maybe you're manga-ed out. i'm going to book the tickets today or tomorrow.
