Paige and I saw Pirates of the Caribbean last night. Sure, when the previews came out I thought it would be cheesy but I'd see it anyway. Well, after weeks of getting good reviews from friends (including Waters, who almost put it in his Top 10), and one last night in line for tickets from friends of Paige (imagine that, running into someone paige knows), we saw it. And it was awesome, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Fun, exciting, good story with twists, character development, things happen that leave you curious until the explanation comes later, and there are some classic lines. Word is that they've already signed the major characters on for another flick, and even though it can't be as good as this, I'm excited.

And then the downloading-movies-fad ended, and I moved onto other nerdy adventures. So I still haven't seen it. Boo.

People, this fad lasted like 2 days. Seriously, it is just getting sad.
Posted by: Pat at August 8, 2003 04:35 PMHey - yeah Pirates was a fantastic movie. Johnny Depp is stellar in his role. I was on the ground with laughter from beginning to end. I'd also highly recommend "Finding Nemo". It's a great plot and one of those feel good stories for the ages.
