So....(POTC, no spoilers)

I could snip here, snip there, add some things, and continue Sparrington (approaching epic, dammit) fic. Make it darker to match theme of new film. (Explain the uberbitter).
Except that I wrote it to be fun, and to match the first film.

Without being spoilery, I'm just going to say that I've been comparing DMC to Indiana Jones' second movie, The Temple of Doom. Different. Darker. But not unenjoyable. That being said, it's also the movie where they deleted scenes of characterization and dialogue to fit in more special effects. Thus, it is now the movie where all Characters except for Will (WILL!) have completely gone to hell. There's so much going on they couldn't resolve anything and yet there are more plots and characters to come in the third one (Though I loves Chow Yun Fat and can't wait for him). ARGH!!!!!!! So. Irritating. This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.

Though Johnny is in Newsweek saying he would do a POTC 4 and even a 5 he loves playing Jack so much...There are also comments about the whole Nelly Pirate thing, in the words of John Waters.

Sure, Disney gets points for still including all their old characters. And for the gay joke and playing around with the OTPs. But...DAMMIT! Finish a damn plot first before starting a new one.

Did they learn nothing from the X-files?

No, it's a sign that the writers fucked up. They created a character that we loved and then abandoned him to satisfy manufactured plot points. In a film that is weak on plot. I do not approve. Sloppy, sloppy writing.

they did get their one snarky moment...and right after the gay joke no less. but still...not even a one second pause after seeing norrington again for the first time.

and i was sooooo excited when norrington was listed along with liz and will in helping him escape. it implied things.

i was confuzzled enough i wrote man from uncle porn. i mean, honestly.
