Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest opened 11 days ago and has already made a whopping $258.2 million thru its first 10 days. I happened to contribute ten of my hard-earned dollars to that total when I took in the flick last Saturday night with Ed. I pregamed the sequel by watching the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl, on Friday night, so I have a few quick thoughts on that one first before diving into the second.
The first Pirates of the Caribbean was released in 2003 and I didn’t see it until I received the DVD as a gift for Christmas that year. It was nice to refresh my memory on the film because I had only watched it once. Of course, everyone remembers that Johnny Depp gave a spectacular performance ... Continue reading »
Blog Days of Summer
I can tell by the way the past two weeks have gone that it is going to be tough to post on a regular basis. Actually, maybe I just need to redefine what a regular basis is going to be for the Summer.
Yeah, that’s what needs to happen, so based on how it has gone since it *officially* turned Summer, we’ll go with the one post a week schedule. I think it’s a thing going around, you know? Ed and Jason seem to have it too and those Scoobs have it year ’round. Of course, there could be Asides added at any time in between, but not much has really caught my eye as of late, although I did just post one about being Pearl Jammed.
You’d think I had all kinds of stuff going on since it was so nice out and all that, but the... Continue reading »
Wii 4 Mii 2
After reading an e-mail from Ed last week on his decision to trade in his 360 and purchase Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii — pronounced “We” — system, I wanted to liken it to trading in your manhood for another kick at boyhood.
Which is actually not a bad first impression. When you think about it, what’s wrong with that? Who doesn’t want to relive portions of their childhood in some way or fashion these days as we push ever closer to 40 (it’s the new 30 don’t you know)?
I then gave it further thought (about 10 seconds) and decided I definitely had no issue with the decision. He made a careful, well thought out case in the e-mail and has posted something similar over on The Ed Zone. Of course, I... Continue reading »
Mission:Impossible III
A few things come to mind as I start to write this one:
- I am going backwards with my reviews, but I figured for completeness sake, I’d do it that way since the other one I am going to write about is V for Vendetta.
- Ed is starting to get me in the habit of posting pictures with my posts. I hate the two posters out there because one has too much Tom Cruise and the other has his name too big, plus it’s just a wee bit ugly. However, I decided I needed a picture! Found this one that someone did up as a wallpaper. Works better.
- I need to come up with some kind of format for my reviews, observations, thoughts or whatever I want to call them. Maybe I ought to tell you how I felt about it right up front and then get to the meat because I am always going to have spoilers. I’m not here to write up some fancy review that is going to dance around plot details in an effort to tell you what I think without telling you exact... Continue reading »
Gouge Me 1 More Time
Joe just alerted me to this item on usatoday.com. As he says, “Looks like Lucas needs another influx of cash.” Great, now I have to buy the original Star Wars triology for the fourth time to get the versions I really want. I don’t know about the need for cash, but to say he didn’t change his mind is bull.
