it was awesome

i dont really understand a lot about what was going on, but it was awesome.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Sat May 26, 2007 3:21 pm

I understood it perfectly. Or at least I think I do.

I loved it also. I'm no movie critic. I love everything.

Seeing it tomorrow quite possibly. Was unimpressed by the previous one.

Joei says it's worse than 2

Garbo · Post by **Garbo** » Sun May 27, 2007 12:34 am

that's because joei has the worst taste in anything ever

After the second one, I'm not paying for this one. I'll wait for the crappy recorded downloadable version.

It was awesome and really tied up quite a fair bit of loose ends. The ending got to me.

Joei · Post by **Joei** » Sun May 27, 2007 9:36 am

it was good but i preferred the other 2. this one was all over the place. too much was going and it all felt a little rushed. especially the bringing jack back from the dead.

it felt like it was trying too hard to give every single character a purpose.

barbossa was the best character.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun May 27, 2007 10:22 am

I'm sure you would have enjoyed it more if you had had an awesome date to go and watch it with you

Garbo · Post by **Garbo** » Sun May 27, 2007 10:29 am

Ya Barbossa was the best. Chow Yun Fatt was kinda crap, and I don't think they tried too hard at all. I had difficulty following the plotline of the film, but it was still awesome.

And bringing Jack back from the dead was anything BUT rushed, that upside down thing was fuckign awesome.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun May 27, 2007 12:06 pm

I'm seeing the fucker on Wednesday

I'm seeing the fucker tomorrow (or rather today, considering the time in my zone)

figures garbo would liek it. he has a hard on for typical hollywood bullshit so it's expected

Jeff 2G6 · Post by **Jeff 2G6** » Tue May 29, 2007 8:07 am

I wonder if he liked X3. He probably thought it was awesome.

Endless-Rain · Post by **Endless-Rain** » Tue May 29, 2007 3:06 pm

jumping aboard the 'barbossa is awesome' bandwagon

It was a good film, better than the second but not as good as the first.

That's got to be the best way to sum up the entire series, really.

The main important lesson I'll remember from Pirates 3 is that [spoiler]whoever kisses Elizabeth Swann dies next

[/spoiler]
Sort of sexist, but kinda cool, I guess... like a cross-variation on both the "women on boats are bad luck" sailors' saying and the "you're no longer a virgin so you must die" rule of horror flicks

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 10:51 am

I dunno what's worse; the Garbo baiting, or the fact he always responds to it so badly.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 1:36 pm

How can something be "worse" if it's a good thing?

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 1:56 pm

They're both bad in my eyes. It's like two little children being pulled apart by parents.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:06 pm

But that's amusing as long as you're not one of the children.

Haven't you learned anything from television, video games, rap music and the newpaper? Violence and conflict are entertainment.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:08 pm

Some conflict IS, and some is so puerile you just want to smack them in the face.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:09 pm

Smacking in the face is good. That adds a whole new dimension to the conflict. Then they can do a teamup movie where they have to defeat you together, but still hate each other.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:11 pm

I'm in 'hateful bitch mode', so I'd rip their heads off.

That doesn't leave room for a sequel. Bad Yuka!

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:35 pm

I refuse to sell out and do a sequel! I have artistic integrity!

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:47 pm

Then you shall be replaced by a bigger, spikier villan that goes well with generic rock music!

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:55 pm

What!?
I refuse to be replaced by such a cliche!
There's a market for villainess in red shimmering body-hugging dresses who have a J-Pop theme and I intend to exploit it!

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:00 pm

Perhaps a spin-off can be arranged, but the RDM can't make any guarantees.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:03 pm

Oh come, you know it work.
The music starts and the camera pans to some high heels walking down the stairs, followed by it panning around my body, leading up to my face, sinister smile, blonde hair in a beehive, cigarette in holder, looking like a vamp Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

It'd be brilliant. "Good evening, Mr Bond"

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:23 pm

Hmm...the RDM is already storyboarding it in his mind. Hello, summer blockbuster!

You sure you don't want any spikes, though? Audiences love spikes. They test very well in focus groups.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:34 pm

In that case, during the thick of the plot, I whip off the dress revealing a tight corset, some hotpants and black stockings. With some spike projectile weapons strapped to my legs. Pull them out, and throw them like darts!

Now you're thinking with your wallet!

But you're still going to need minions. You can't fight three mismatched heroes who hate each other without suitable minions.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:57 pm

Hmm...

Minion #1 - Of asian origin. Never speaks. Always wears figure hugging black leather. Kills without question or mercy. Usually dressed as a Geisha until a fight breaks out, then suddenly she's a dominatrix snapping your neck

Minion #2 - Of american origin. Blonde. Always wears pink heart shaped glasses and blowing bubble gum bubbles. Usually dressed as a cheerleader. Incredible athlete and a perfect gymnast.

Minion # 3 - Of russian origin. Usually has some sort of M4 strapped to her back. Dresses in a violet PCV catsuit complete with violet sunglasses. Does most of the talking.

... I think the four of us would make an awesome villain squad.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed May 30, 2007 4:57 pm

Off out to see it naaah

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed May 30, 2007 5:08 pm

Spectacular! Now all we need is a reason for Jeff and HKK to need to work with Garbo, but it must keep the animosity in tact.

The RDM is thinking Garbo knows some sort of secret code that must be protected at all costs or something.

I'm funny.

In other news, hkk continues to be a clueless faggot.

Is there any particular reason why anything he ever says is never preceded by appropriate mental activity? Is there any reason why this is considered humorous and not annoying?

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Wed May 30, 2007 9:12 pm

Is there any reason why you always have to have the last say?

All these HKK snipes Garbo topics are pissing me off and I'm going to start locking if this faggotry continues.

Play nice or I'm dishing out posting holidays.

Well done.

I'll unlock this tomorrow/when Damien comes back with SG review.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed May 30, 2007 11:14 pm

SG review?

As it is, I find it hard to definitively compare this film to the first two in the series.
I watched the first one on dewedee (including amusingly distracting Hong Kong subtitles) at Bazz's house years back, and the second one in Screen Joei towards the end of last year.

Where as I took the first film at face value, I expected too much of the sequel, so that's where some of the disappointment arose.
It would have been good if this were all the disappointment that came from Pirates 2 though.
The film was dragged out, boring in places, and after everything ended up being (quite infuriatinly) just the first part ina double bill as it were.

So to the second part in the double-bill (or the third part of the trilogy/series, if you want to split hairs

).
I wouldn't say I disliked it, actually, I liked it. It was just dragged out too much.
If they wanted to cram so many main characters in there, they should have seriously considered making it into a TV series rather than a film.
There was lots going on, but most of it could have been skipped over to be honest.
There were some good characters, there were some crap characters, and there were a few (two) great characters.

It was indeed visually stunning here and there, but I found myself a bit bored and restless towards the end (where the best scenes, plot-wise as well as aesthetically) to fully enjoy them.

Overall, I think this was more personally-enjoyable than the second in the series, but it is close.
I don't mind if they continue the series (though I think it's pretty wrapped-up), I just hope they don't make any more long-winded films of this ilk.
Overall: [google]2Gs[/google]

The RDM doesn't think he understands the "G's" rating system.

What is the range!? What is the conversion rate!?

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Thu May 31, 2007 2:11 pm

1G = 1
