Pirates of the Caribbean

[Ashleg]

These movies are good.
The ride is good.
The song is good.


LET'S VOCALIZE THAT.

[Andy]

I haven't seen all the movies. Loved the ones I had seen back in high school when I saw them, but it's been at least half a dozen years since then so all I really remember is the "why is the rum gone?" bit.

[Ashleg]

Go see the one that just came out.
Trust me, it is worth it.

[Andy]

I don't watch movies in theatres (partly because I'd have to go out of town to do so), and seem to recall somewhat losing interest at one point in the series. If I see it, it'll probably be on Netflix some day or whenever the Disney Movie Club has it as the featured title.

[MeadowR]

I'm all right with the first three. The setting is interesting for me in the first. I know some people find the second and third a mess, but I did find them quite entertaining on my last watch. I found the fourth one dull; really lacking in an engaging story. Haven't seen the fifth.

[Ashleg]

The fourth one was, in all terms..."meh".
The fifth is very much in the spirit of the first three.

[MeadowR]

I'll make sure I get to watch it at some point!

[Ashleg]

Do it.

The villain is amazing.

And Barbossa really shines.

[MeadowR]

Done it!

You're right; it is more in the spirit of the first three. Definite improvement on the fourth.

Also I have now experienced the ride!!! That was cool. The animatronics and all the detail was so, so impressive.

[Ashleg]

Sweet!

Ah, when did you go?
(And which one was it? Land or World?)

[MeadowR]

World. I was going to say that I was (finally!!!) going to Orlando in the vacation thread, but I got super-stressed the day before going, really thinking I might not get let in to the US, so yeah, my 'woo, I'm doing this' post didn't happen. :0 Thankfully all was well!!! So it was last week that I went.

[Ashleg]

Wait, whaaaa?

You're not American?

I did not know that.

[MeadowR]

But I have the England flag under my username.

[Ashleg]

*Inception*

Heh. Bad eyes, y'know...

That's the England flag? Are the English and British flags different?

[MeadowR]

Yes. The British/Union Jack flag combines the English cross and Scottish saltire (sp) flags, as well as the thin red saltire to represent Ireland.
