What happened to your avatar Tex?

In regards to what Rob? It's still there, at least on my computer. Do you mean the "blinking eyes"?

Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!! What?? What do you mean "there's only two of us"?

Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Personally, I didn't like it. Nor did I like the second, both lost the fun elements that I enjoyed in the first movie.

But, judging from my friends response - if you like the second, you'll like the third.

I enjoyed the third film. Yes, it had its weaknesses, but I wouldn't rag on it as much as the critics have been. It was a decent continuation of the series. And for those who dont know, there is going to be Pirates 4. I had no idea until my girlfriend mentioned it after the movie. Apparently they filmed them back to back, much like Jackson did with Lord of the Rings.

In regards to Pirates, I am confused about something. I read in Rolling Stone magazine several months back that Keith Richards was cast to portray Jack Sparrow's father. Depp also stated that he developed many of Jack's mannerisms from watching Richards. However, I have not seen one hint of it after that. I'm assuming that either he has a cameo role, and little camera time, or they are just doing a damn good job of keeping the lid on it.

 

I thought he was in the second movie on board the ghost ship with the captain that resembles Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama...

 

If you're a fan of the old/young gay porn... I think these two qualify for "totally gay for each other" awards...

 

Proof is in the pudding:

More proof in the midget's left pant's pocket (notice Depp's hand playing pocket pool):

About "Pirates 4" -

 

"Orlando Bloom's character in the now-juggernaut Pirates of the Caribbean series will not survive through the inevitable fourth installment -- so says a Disney insider who spoke to the British paper Daily Star. According to the source, the script for the fourth film is currently being written, and Disney bean counters are already examining ways to cut its massive costs. They have concluded that although both Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley are essential to the continued success of the series, Orlando's character is human NyQuil and "not necessary" to maintain the gravy train (I could have told them that). Whether or not he will be killed in the third movie, due next summer, or be bumped off early in the fourth is not specified..."

 

Orlando not an essential ingredient to the gravy train!

Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten." - George Lucas, 1988. [u.S. Congressional hearing testimony on film preservation.]

Rob, as far as I understand, the second and third films were filmed back-to-back, but the fourth is still in pre-production.

 

Thats what I get for listening to my girlfriend... :roll:

 

But I do agree with Orlando Bloom's character being rather lame. He has little personality in the film. He did a much better elf than a pirate...

Personally, I don't believe the guy can act. Well, let me take that back--I think he acts about as well as Hayden Christensen in Revenge of the Sith when he's "overwhelmed" by Palpatine's decision to appoint him to the Jedi Council. The way Bloom, like Christensen (and don't forget the brat who played Anakin in The Phantom Menace, too!), seem incapable of delivering lines in a way and tone that sounds even remotely natural pools me out. I hold this same opinion of Natalie Portman in certain scenes of Episodes II and III and Keanu Reeves from every movie he's played in.

Scared of homosexuals, budious? :roll:

 

No, I'm pretty sure I could kick all three of their asses, except maybe I'd have to put the midget on a stool first.

I must agree with you about Jake Lloyd (sp?), Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, and Keanu Reeves (Holy crap, Keanu Reeves!) but Orlando Bloom seemed alright to me in the Pirates movies. In Lord of the Rings he was kind of awkward, but that was partly because, well, he was playing an elf prince- the lines sort of have to be awkward. Just my two bits.

Discounting his better than horrible performance in LOTR and his.. perhaps.. ok performance in Pirates.. if you look at the films he's acted in.. they arent exactly the best films out there... despite Troy which I dont think was made good because of him.. in fact.. i think its one of the few that you can say was a good film that he was in... i just think he stinks all around...

I enjoyed the 300 referance during the conferance-

"This is madness!"

"This is politics!"

 

I think there was a line about slavery and death being threatened somewhere before that...

I finally got Pan's Labyrinth in from Netflix and watched it this morning. It's a very, very good movie. About half the movie is about a girl caught in a fairytale, and the other half is about her father fighting rebels during the Spanish civil war in the 1940s. Its a really good film.

 

On a side note, I like where this forum has come from. I started it to rant about my dislikes of movie theatres (prices and what not), but it has turned into a general discussion about movies themselves. Its a lot cleaner than having a separate topic for each movie.
