Things I've Seen

I've seen some things recently. I will tell you about them.

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of nacho whatever. I liked it. Even though Jerry Bruckheimer was the producer it doesn't suck, and it doesn't feature any slow-motion American flag shots that have come to be his trademark. Pirates are cool, dammit! And the movie is just built around that fact. By the end of the film, all the characters love pirates. And why not? I mean, they steal, murder, smell bad, rape...they're just all-around lovable. And Johnny Depp is pretty entertaining, taking his Hunter S. Thompson persona out of the closet and dressing it in pirate clothes.

I also saw 28 Days Later: The Pirated Laptop Version on Adi's laptop. It was alright. That's pretty much all I can say. There's not really anything wrong with the movie, but there's nothing outstanding about it, either. I just feel like there could have been more. I think they should make another movie focusing on someone who doesn't wake up quite so late in the action. They could call it 18 Days Later. Then maybe the antagonists would actually be zombies instead of a bunch of horny soldiers.

Then there is the Electric 6 video Gay Bar. It's the kind of video that is so senseless and stupid you wonder if it's okay to laugh. Well, I laughed. I couldn't help but compare it to all those Wierd Al videos that try sooo hard to be funny but just end up mundane and dumb. Electric 6 seem to be specialists in making videos that don't try at all. It's like watching the first idea one of them had after finishing a bottle of vodka.

Porcupine Pie.
