*sigh* so I guess I should go see this eh?
I don't know, Ski. ;) I took my mom to go see it last week. I think she enjoyed it as much as the kids I took the previous week.

OK, this movie sucked. Sorry.
OK, so the whole point of the movie is that they need Will's blood and the last piece of gold in order to break the curse.
Why Will's blood? I didn't understand this. Can anyone explain this? Jely can't and she's seen the movie 3 times.
The major plot point that the entire movie hinges around, and they can't explain it.
Right...

Because the entire crew spent the cursed gold and had to repay in blood. Barbossa mentions this in the cave. Bootstrap Bill was tossed overboard before he could repay his blood. He'd also sent one of the coins off to young Will because he didn't trust the rest of the crew after what they did to Jack. Savvy?
Made perfect sense to me...
<font size="2" face="Comic sans ms, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bah. Why not just go down and find bootstrap bill? I mean, if they're imortal, it'd be just as easy to do that as mucking about with finding his son. I mean, he's probably affected by the curse, and it's not like he's going anywhere...Quote:

That wasn't in the script, silly.
You know- i wondered that myself.
mumbles something about 'plot holes you drive a mac truck through'... and wanders off.
STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY PLOT !!
Saw Pirates and loved it.
As for the plot "hole", well, now I need to see it again because how could any of them have repaid in blood if they were already cursed? They didn't bleed while cursed, right?
And if they dumped him in a really deep part of the ocean, it'd be nigh impossible to find him again. They didn't realize they needed his blood until later.
And they did bleed. There's blood on the dinner knife when Barbossa pulls it out of his chest.
All good points...so the Volvo theory reduces itself to about a mini cooper...
I got the impression that old Bootstrap was long gone out of reach or that he had died before the curse could take hold of him...though if he was cursed also, and they had to repay in blood, well then it makes sense to need the blood of a family member, doesn't it...? It's not a Mack Truck plot hole...more like a small Volvo at most... [img]eek.gif[/img]
WOOHOO! I finally got to see this movie and it was awesome.
Would have to watch it again for the plothole was too busy enjoying myself to notice.
Is there any limit to the coolness that is Johnny Depp?
No, as he litterally saved Once Upon a Time in Mexico from being a crappy movie.
And yes, now that it was mentioned, I remember the head bad guy pirate telling the woman that they killed Bootstrap and dumped him in the ocean. It wasn't until after that they found out they needed his blood to break the curse.
naaaaa, he didn't say they killed him, he said they tied a cannon to Bootstrap's bootstraps and threw him overboard. The man sank to the bottom of the Atlantic with a serious piece of iron dangling from his ankles. My theory is that the weight of the ocean alone would crush him, rendering him incapable of escaping from the cannon. That much ocean will crush a body, not much getting out of that, whether you are the undead or not. Kind of hard for a pancake to walk.
I love this movie. I am buying it as soon as it comes out. My friends and I are planning to hit it hard when it goes to the dollar theatres.
My friend burned a "pirated" copy for me. The quality sucks and I'll be buying a copy when it comes out too. Our dollar theater was shut down, much to my disappointment. I could watch this again and again.
You're lucky you even had a dollar theater at all. We don't have one of those and we never get movies here unless they are major blockbusters, or they play once a year at the film festival. [img]frown.gif[/img] I'd love to see this movie again too.
i've paid to see it three times. love it love it love it.
*anxiously awaits December 2*
We finally got the movie here, and I'm off to see it for a second time with Chaos B this weekend. The best thing about the movie is Johnny Depp, and the second best is Orlando Bloom. I just love the way Depp plays his character. Think he deserves an award. And now I understand the Pirate threads-though they were funny even without seeing the movie. Glad there was a parrot in the movie.
See? EVERYONE should love this movie...
December 2, Jel? Did they release the release date for the DVD and I didn't hear about it?
I did finally get to see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as well yesterday, it wasn't as bad as I expected but Tom Sawyer was the most useless character and he wasn't in the comic. Also had major problem with the vampire [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img] hanging out on the sunny deck of the ship. Looking forward to seeing Pirates again tomorrow.
jax: that's the release date i was told. could be wrong ... but my source is reliable. *g*
League was HORRIFIC. don't even get me started on that one.
LXG: Worst movie ever of what could have been an amazing movie franchise...ah well...Jely's right, let's not get to worked up over it..."Reliable" Source? Whom could THAT be? Jadian... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
December 2 for Pirates...I know what's going on MY Christmas list year...heh...
