I liked the first POTC movie . . . the first time around. I didn't find it bore repeated watching at all, and I thought League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was by far the better of the two movies that summer. The second one bored me to pieces . . . as in I spent half the movie thinking about how good the sushi I'd had the day before was. #3 I think I fell asleep for part of it. But I loved the Davy Jones' Locker scene and the turning the ship upside down.
Ack! Dwarves! Hopefully, by the end of the week I can kind of say that too. I'm trying to write about "The Birthday of the Infanta", and the intersection of The Grotesque, Ruskin, Bakhtin, possibly Hegel, Dwarfs, the topos of the Dying Child, and Dickens is wrecking my head. Why does "The Stones of Venice" have to be so long?
