randomness: PotC & Heroes

[xparrot]

As the entire flist is going on about Pirates 3, I gotta throw my two cents in. Saw it yesterday and loved it. I'd have to see it again to be sure but I think it was my favorite of the trilogy. Truth be told, I was the only fangirl on the planet who didn't care for the first movie...I dunno, it just didn't grab me. But Dead Man's Chest was a blast and At World's End manages to surpass it by going over the top in every single conceivable direction, action, f/x, maelstroms, backstabbing, music, melodrama...like Jack Sparrow, it's loud, ridiculously nonsensical, a drama queen and and more than a little silly, but so darn charming you can't help but succumb.

-- The constant betrayals were hysterical, every one.

-- Poor Norrington! But he redeemed himself. Yays!

-- 9 pieces of eight! Heh, that just cracked me up all the way through. And then the actual pieces in question...

-- Rather quite loved the end. I never cared much about Will/Elizabeth one way or another but they were wicked cute when they finally decided to hell with it, they were going to be tragic lovers no matter what. The marriage ceremony was almost as good as that at the end of The PeaceKeeper Wars. And then! Tragedy! Jack doing the right thing! Triumph! Tragedy anyway! Then sex! Aww.

-- Speaking of the wedding, Barbossa is teh awesome. Well, he is all the way through. But especially there. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here..."

-- Out of curiosity, is Elizabeth still Kaizoku-Oh Pirate King? When did she find the One Piece, anyway?

-- Will is going to be so much a better Dutchman Captain than Davy Jones was, or Jack would've been. (I heard a rumor that there was a cut scene explaining that the curse could be broken if the captain found true love? So it might be broken at the movie's end? Which would be nice for them, but I like it either way.)

-- Besides, would you really mind dying at sea if he were the one coming to get you?

-- Because yeah, I don't have much in the way of respect for Orrie's 'acting' talents, but the silver & scar suit his scrawny ass like a crazy hot thing. MMMM.

-- Am I the only one who was totally awwing at Davy Jones & Calypso? So tragic. And they love each other anyway, even with the betrayals and hatred. Awww.

-- All of the above is thinking way too much about a movie that really doesn't need to be thought about; the important thing is SWASHBUCKLING ON SHIP MASTS! WHILE SWINGING ON ROPES! WHILE GOING DOWN A GIANT WHIRLPOOL! Now that is action.



We also watched the final four eps of Heroes. Don't have much to say, but...

Sylar! Wins! In future evil bad-ass-ery and in present angst!

Yay for heroes (Hiros) who go darkside over friends dying. Awws!

So in the future Peter Petrelli is destined to become Neo? Huh, now. Wake me when Agent Smith shows up.

Matt is really very likable for no particular reason, which makes me like him even more.

Mr. Bennet - Noah! He has a first name! - continues to be my favorite character by so very much.

Especially if they just killed Nathan. No! Why'd you have to pick now to go be a good guy, Nathan? Even if you did go out being as incesty as it is possible to be with your brother. Umm. They were kissing when Peter exploded. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Just saw Pirates 3, and it truly is loads of fun, and Barbossa definitely rocks! Also, I like Davy Jones' tentacles, and he and Calypso are absolutely together now at the bottom of the sea. *nods firmly*

Of course Nathan and Peter were kissing when Peter exploded. As far as I'm concerned, that's canon. I'm just sad Peter never seemed to get anywhere near Linderman; if he had, he could have healed Nathan afterward. *deep sigh*

Heeee I totally was thinking Davy Jones sank into Calypso's arms. Awww~! I'm a hopeless romantic. What can be cuter than a squid-lobster-man and a sea goddess in love?

And double hee, the sis and I spent several minutes post-Heroes-finale asking each other if Peter could have ever gotten near Linderman without knowing it. Or something. Maybe Nathan zipped away at the very last minute? Siiigh...well, it is a superhero show, no one's dead until you see the body and even then there's always alt universes, clones, what-have-you! *holds out hope*

OMG -- I literally just had this inspiration (no spoilers; just me thinking too much). Remember when Bennett had Ted burn 'bright but not hot' to take down the power so Bennett and Matt and Ted could escape the so-called paper company? Maybe, at the very last moment, Peter managed to burn bright but not hot, so there was the huge burst of light we saw in the sky, but Peter and Nathan weren't actually harmed. But by the time they got back down near ground level, all the cops and EMTs and everyone else and his brother were there, so naturally the Petrellis landed somewhere else, without witnesses, and thus they're still presumed dead by the other heroes, until they triumphantly reappear next season! Would that work? *crosses fingers and toes and hopes really hard*
