(I'm still working on the PWP post too, btw. This writing journal entries in WordPad is dangerous because then I can take forever to finish a post!)
I can't wait to read it!! LOL!
‘Tis why I stay away from doing it (entries in WordPad). Of course, that means I’ll be typing away in my lj without a second thought to room or how much it takes before it screams for mercy…
No! Damn! We were probably close too because we went on opening night, so of course, it was sold out. And I refuse to be one of the multitudes pushing for the door when I can sit in my seat, listen to the closing music, and leave in a more civilized fashion. :^P But we didn't sit all the way until the end.
Both times that I went to see it, the majority of the movie-goers stayed, even if half of them were standing in the exit isles, turned back to watch. They learned that one must stay til the very end because of the secret scene after the credits in the first movie. You’ve seen that, right?? Tell me you have! Might need to make a trip up there to watch both with you, just to make sure you stay for the secret scene *after* the credits…
Either way, you've earned another trip to go see PotC2 for a third time!! ;-)
(Incidentally, one of my most vivid memories from seeing FotR was that the person sitting behind me loudly declared, when the movie was over, "Well that was the stupidest ending ever!" Doh! It's a trilogy! It's not an ending at all!)
Even I knew that the ending wasn’t an ending after FotR, and I hadn’t read the books until after seeing TTT!! And if one really chose to look at it in a certain way, RotK didn’t really have an ‘ending’ either. Oh, most of us knew it was over, and there would be no more (damn!), but the ending felt a little too open-ended to me. I loved it, don’t get me wrong! I didn’t go back 4 more times because I hated the ending (which I didn’t – I even knew the words to ‘Into The West’ and sang them in the theater! each time!). But I mean, if one knew there was a series of movies, then they shouldn’t really gripe about the un-endings as the last frames of the first two movies fade away…
I think that DMC does a great job of exciting people to see the third movie. I know that I can't wait for next summer!
Me3! Hopefully, if we do this Summer Movie Extravaganza pool at work next year, most of everyone will forget how well PotC did and not pick it so I can!! LOL! ;-)
The exception to this (for me) was The Matrix trilogy. I loved the first movie, was totally meh on the second, and can tolerate the third. I still believe that it would have been better left as a single movie rather than a trilogy.
*snerk* I’ve only seen the first one once, and never again. I didn’t bother with the second or third, and from everything I heard about the two of them, I’m glad I didn’t bother. Not that I would have seen them anyway. The first one I was ‘meh’ over.
But I agree that in most movie trilogies written to be a trilogy, the last one is the best...and should be!
Yeppir! Stars Wars 3 (and 6 as well) blew the first two out of the water, as did RotK to its predecessors (though I loved all 3), and I’m betting PotC3 will as well. What I’m wondering is: if the first two were largely Capt. Jack driven, then will the third one be as well? I mean, dude is currently partyin’ with the kraken at the bottom of the ocean (or At World’s End), so… does this mean more face time for Will, Elizabeth, and all the rest until they save Jack? OH! And what will become of our Will and Elizabeth?? I still think they’ll get married…
I’m sorely tempted to go and see it one last time before it leaves the theaters…
