    The first one is unique. It's like the Matrix. You have to watch 2 and 3 cause they're the Matrix. Well POTC is like that. I've seen 1 a dozen times and my DVD is slowly being worn out.

    Yeah, with the Matrix, the first one blew me away. The second two just blew. Jeremy Falcon

      Just remember that September 19th is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. There is nothing funnier than watching the expressions of your co-workers when you spend the entire day doing this. At my last job I was a project manager and even did the pirate talk at meetings. I guess I'm weird enough that no one thought otherwise.

        The first Pirates is probably the best movie I've seen since the original Star Wars. Get it in wide screen if you can. And like Star Wars, nobody really thought that much about it until they'd seen it. ("Oh, another sci fi flick? Sure, why not...") My best friend suggested we go see the first Pirates and I said, "You mean the one with that foppish guy with all the mascara? You're joking, right?" We applauded at the end of the movie, it was that good. And if you haven't seen the original Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, you've got to see them. The level of fun, the chemistry between the actors really stands out in comparison to the last 3. In fact, the last 3 Star Wars were very much like the second Pirates. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of non stop eye candy, but just nothing going on underneath it all. Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes

                  Smitha wanted to see it - thanks to you, we won't be doing that - whew! I had to force her to see Superman Returns and she complained that it was way too long - which it was by the way :-) Regards, Nish

                  LOTR: Return of the King was the same way. Great movie, but it could have used an intermission.

                  Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

                            Yeah. It sucks. The first one was awesome, the second one is woeful. No plot, way too long, no ending. The first movie was at least semi-believable. The second is utterly ridiculous. Biggest waste of money I've ever made.
