(no subject)

I now have a copy of 'All Change' by Cast in my posession, and fully intend to play it all day because it's so good. I love Cast so that's to be expected.

Any album that contains 'Alright', 'Fine Time' and 'Sandstorm' can't be bad.

Plus 'Walkaway' is on this album. Walkaway is one of those songs. Universal, sad and sounds like a thousand hearts breaking.

And now I get to hear the album only tracks which are all cool. Different to the singles but still cool.

So yes, this counts as this week's music rec.

A few POTC thoughts that got lost in the general squeaking

Okay Johnny Depp's accent, other than the best way of describing it being drunk, was pretty darn cool. Especially when he was jumping across things and yelling in his accent.

Which brings me to the second point, the problem with Will Turner is the 'Han Solo' problem. In the Star Wars films, Luke was just plain old out-cooled by Han Solo. Will Turner just got plain old out-cooled by Captain Jack. Then again, anyone would be out-cooled by him so it's no biggie.

BTW I think there's something wrong with me. I see no campness in Captain Jack. I see exaggerated lunacy and some mightly crazy hand action but they merely point to general OTTness.

Elizabeth was quite cool also. Not too annoying, very good at both damsel in distress and damsel not in distress.

That monkey was evil.

There are no decent pictures of Norrington anywhere. (No change that, there are no pictures full stop.)
Would someone please dissuade me from wanting dreadlocks.

Oh yeah, and does anyone know what 'shiver me timbers' actually means?

I'm trying to recommend the film to my Mum using the idea that it's got the same sort of attitude as the Mummy films.

The boy that played Will Turner as a boy looks a lot more like I imagined Harry Potter than Daniel Radcliffe, because he was thin and had you know black-ish hair like Potter is supposed to have.
