Saw this Monday night with modest hopes and low expectations. Man, was it ever better than I thought. Bruckheimer/Verbinski/writers Ted Elliot & Terry Rossio (pretty good scripts!) involved make the wise choice of invoking pretty much every pirate movie cliché ever, really the best route to go. This movie has:

Swordfights
Cannon fights
A parrot
A monkey
Treasure chests
An ancient curse
The "code of the pirates"
A pirate with a missing eye
Mutinies
Walked planks
A desert island
Rum
Skeletal ghost pirates
Many one-liners

Plus Johnny Depp in really, one of the great, puzzling & hilarious performances of his career as "Captain Jack Sparrow," resembling a drunken club promoter or something.

Also very pretty Keira Knightley. And stoic Orlando Bloom. And Geoffrey Rush in full hamming-it-up mode. Thank god this movie doesn't take itself too seriously, unlike certain summer movies I could mention.

This week (T3 + Pirates) has somewhat redeemed this summer.

You forgot the final necessary element (for straight males at least) -- heaving bosoms.

I heard he based the character on Keith Richards (really! I'm not making this up).

Slutsky has made me so happy.

I cannot wait to see this movie. Unfortunately I am busy tonight.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

This sounds like the best film of all time.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I just watched Burt Lancaster (whatta side of beef wow) in The Crimson Pirate the other day (which is fucking absofantastalutely great BTW) and was hankering for another pirate movie. I wish I knew someone who would actually consent to go to this with me. My friends are no fun.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I totally want to see this.

To wit, The Crimson Pirate's inventory:

Swordfights
Cannon fights
~~A parrot~~
~~A monkey~~
~~Treasure chests~~
~~An ancient curse~~
The "code of the pirates"
~~A pirate with a missing eye~~
Mutinies
Walked planks
A desert island
Rum
~~Skeletal ghost pirates~~
Many one-liners

but also:

Revolution
Heaving bosoms
"Dancing girls" (ahem)
Evil colonial overlords
Bumbling colonial overlords
Labyrinthine pirate conspiracies
Hilarious anachronisms (submarines, hot air balloons, tanks)
A mute pirate sidekick
Burt motherfreaking Lancaster

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm so fucking stoked to see this. Some see-which-celebrities-you're-compatible-with website told me I was 100% compatible with Keira Knightley, which is definitely okay with me.

I love Geoffrey Rush in full "hamming-it-up mode". If we could get him and John Lithgow together in a movie ever...wow.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Also:

A ragged pirate who inexplicably peppers his pirate-speak with the King's English
A mad scientist
Sea chases
Fish barrels

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

The bosoms heave! They heave! Like the swells of the wine-dark pirate seas!

I forgot. This movie does have:

Heaving bosoms ('course)
Nasty colonial commodore
Bumbling colonial overlord
And a mute pirate sidekick too!

But no good anachronisms (TANKS?) and unfortunately no Burt Lancaster. Would that they could. Actually, they probably could.

Also:

Ghost ship!
The Interceptor, "fastest ship in the Caribbean!"
Several tumbles from cliffs
Escape from the noose

Anyone notice how in the trailer they call it Pirates of the Caribbean? Bugs me.

That's how we say it in old Blighty - is the trailer voiceover English accented?

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Calling yr pirate ship "The Interceptor" ticks the anachronism box nicely I think. What is this, Blakes 7??

Every critic seems to really like this movie, except for that hack Michael Wilmington and that sourpuss Kenny Turan.

My workmate (who I like a lot) complained about Keira Knightley being sucked into the Hollywood machine after being so wonderful in that "indie" film Bend It Like ~~Bruckheimer~~ Beckham!!

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm glad the crits are liking it, though that seems to doom blockbusters these days. Ebert correctly points out the somewhat excessive running length and semi-pointless sword fights (which I enjoyed, but I do have the same problem--also kinda bugged me in T3 and Blade 2)

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I love pirate movies. I'll definitely enjoy this. I think
Martin Scorsese could make a good pirate movie. _Gangs
Of New York_ was such an insanely ornate and stylized movie.
He could have done Lord Of The Rings so much better, visually,
I mean, but he'd probably ruin the spirit of the movie by
making the characters too deep.

― Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet Roman Polanski could make a good pirate movie!

I'm going off the the line she has in the second one about being all over him and giving him the business if they weren't seperated by bars

That line's referring to how their WEDDING was interrupted though, so they have been unable to enjoy their inaugural consummation, thus leaving Knightley with a severe case of blue balls.

― kit brash (kit brash), Sunday, 16 July 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

I am so happy other people caught that "he taught me how to handle a sword" shit, because I think it was meant innocently but it was such a double entendre.

But yeah, she mentions a couple times about being denied her wedding NIGHT (not just her wedding!) which made me cringe a little and look around for small children in the theater.

― taco freebie (mike h.), Sunday, 16 July 2006 22:24 (nineteen years ago)

No way that was meant innocently, it was for the adults in the audience all the way. I can't remember the line before, but Jack's line after was 'show me' or something.

― milo z (mlp), Sunday, 16 July 2006 22:32 (nineteen years ago)

HI THAAAAAAAR

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Tuesday, 18 July 2006 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

OK lashing Jack to the mast SORT OF makes sense if the Kraken was going after Jack specifically. (Knightley's still a tool to do that, especially after kissing him. after everything they'd been through you'd HOPE she'd try to come up with a way to get out of there; it's a swashbuckler for christ's sake - would Leia handcuff Han to the side of an Imperial Cruiser?? all for one and one for all g*ddammit!!) But then that makes Jack's flight on his rowboat the ultimate act of self-sacrifice, not selfishness as Knightley is so quick to believe - and Jack's return becomes the abdication of that selflessness (one last chance to kiss Keira?)

Anyway, I dunno how i'm supposed to keep track of Kraken psychology if the characters in the movie can't! ("it's not SUPPOSED to makes sense etc.") I could be totally confusing the timeline here; i think i actually missed half this movie because i wasn't paying attention.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:06 (nineteen years ago)

lashing Jack to the mast

Really, my favorite phrase out of this whole thing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of double entendres, I found the whole "Don't you want to know - what - it - tastes - like" somewhat too unsubtle and evocative for this sort of film.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:19 (nineteen years ago)

She kissed Jack specifically to back him up against the mast, it was the only way to take him off guard and thus chainable.

Jack took off in the rowboat because he thought he had Davey Jones' heart, ie bargaining chip. And he'd assume (rightly) that Davey Jones would think he was still on the Black Pearl and attack it.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:21 (nineteen years ago)

xp - I don't even remember that.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:22 (nineteen years ago)

from the link w/the screenwriters, in re: "was written by a committee" comments above:

"There are things I would change. ... They amount to quibbles. I'd say it's 90 percent of what we wanted."

"One of the techniques we learned while working in animation [on Shrek] is to work in sequences. For me, it's easier to attack a three-page thing than the entire script."

"I know writers who actually work in the full draft and I can't figure out how they do it. If you have a hundred pages, if you want to get to a scene in the middle, you have to go through all that other stuff. Whereas, if you've broken it up into sequences, you only have to deal with exactly the part you need to work on."

"Truth be told, sometimes, you don't get that view of the Big Picture until opening day."

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:23 (nineteen years ago)

milo if Davy Jones still thought he was on the Black Pearl, why does Keira need to make with the mast-lashing? ARRRGH

I guess I thought Cthuluface was just sort of able to UNLEASH the Kraken, and maybe GUIDE it, roughly, towards destruction-worthy targets. I didn't realize he could steer the damn thing like a videogame.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:26 (nineteen years ago)

Jack didn't think he had Davy Jones heart when he went off in the rowboat, because it wasn't in his "I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT! I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT!" when it smashed before he did that.

I agree with the screenwriters and the way they work.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:27 (nineteen years ago)

If you have a hundred pages, if you want to get to a scene in the middle, you have to go through all that other stuff. Whereas, if you've broken it up into sequences, you only have to deal with exactly the part you need to work on.

I mean, I don't even understand this. What is he talking about? Is he one of those people that clicks and holds down on the little arrow at the end of the scroll bar when he's like 20 pages away from what he wants to get to???

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 00:28 (nineteen years ago)

what is wrong with Keira Knightley that she can't even properly act like Johnny Depp gets her hot? in all their sexual tension moments, she just seemed like she was in pain. I hate her.

I still don't entirely get why Orlando Bloom signs on for rescuing Jack at the end. he doesn't strike me as 100% virtuous.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 03:14 (nineteen years ago)

Perhaps he's hoping to win the heart of Mizz Knightley once and for all?

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 03:31 (nineteen years ago)

Perhaps he entertains self-humiliating fantasies of watching them in action.

man this was a great entertaining movie, just what i needed! First half hour seemed a bit struggly and I'm not sure why, but it all soon got going and I thoroughly enjoyed it right until the end.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 07:37 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's that Keira thinks 'once the kraken has et Jack, it will go away and Davy Jones will stop chasing us', so by cuffing Jack to the mast while the kraken's already after the black pearl she can make the whole thing be over, whereas it would drag on if Jack kept getting away. Also she believes in Codes of Things and the Captain is supposed to go down with his ship, isn't he, so she'll Make Him do it (but this is not a primary reason).

― permanent revolution (cis), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 07:55 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think she believes in the Code of Things much at all, that's Ornaldo you're thinking of. I am looking forward to seeing her da reborn as a pirate in the third one.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 08:00 (nineteen years ago)

This was so disappointing and flawed. I thought the first was an amazingly clever, delightfull fun adventure movie - and this one was a belaboured, dumb, but yeah sometimes v fun adventure movie. Loved the kebab running-away sequence and the beasties' look. Hated the plot-that-made-no-sense and the total lack of comprehensible character motivation. Also, I realised halfway through the movie that Orlando Bloom was awful (this is something I had never noticed before), and then I could only cringe every time he opened his mouth.

I was hoping for something wicked cool in that reveal at the end (Chow Yun Fat? Keith Richards?), but what? the bad guy from #1? who the fuck cares?

and it was absolutely not worth waiting through the credits for a lame one note 'cute animal' gag.

― sean gramophone (Sean M), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

cis to the rescue! That works for me Miss Pontine. It is sort of like Keira is standing in for the authors, at that moment.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really get how Bloomps can be so damn bland in every movie yet almost always appears like an interesting and enthusiastic person in interviews.

And wtf, to me Kiera didn't even seem like she was remotely attracted to Jack until Norrington mentioned it.

But hey, I'm totally looking forward to the return of Captain Barbossa - I thought the chemistry between Depp and Rush totally made the last movie.

― Roz (Roz), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

Hellllloooooo, the reason why Ornaldo agrees to go back and rescue Jack is because everyone else says aye to the idea. He'd look like a right tool to turn around and be like, "No, fuck him, I refuse to go to the end of the earth, you're all on your own." It's peer pressure isn't it. Also maybe he doesn't want to confront Keira re: kissy kissy bang bang and is going along with the rescue to keep up appearances (it'd be very obvious that he is angry with her if he turns around and is like etc).

You really felt the editing of this long film esp. when they were searching for things (Jack, the Pearl etc.)/travelling places. It was like 'let's go!' then cut to them at their destination.

― Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Thursday, 20 July 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'm starting to think that the writers ONLY thought about this in terms of scenes and as a full plot, not how the scenes would fit together or whether some should have been reduced or cut. The escape from the cannibals scene took forever, and the chase on the beach / swordfight on the water wheel / chase on the beach / swordfight on the beach thing took what seemed like a half hour and, in true chase scene style, did nothing for the plot other than some slight of hand about who had the heart.

So, is there any real reason that Davy Jones would be chasing any of the remaining people in the last film? I don't see how the East India Company really has that much of a beef with anyone who's going after Jack Sparrow and that's who controls him now..

Last night, we saw POTC2

And tonight, all being well, POTC3.

me hearties.

I do have to say, the first film was well measured pacewise, lots going on but not ridiculously plot switchy. Film 2, during loo breaks and customary "don't pause it, I'll be quick" always lead to "OK, you were, but you have to see this bit otherwise you'll be lost"...

― Mark G, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 10:56 (seventeen years ago)
