Fast random responses to several of the above:
Ah yes, I just watched Scrooge on my new 16:9 video projector, and it looked incredible. I've loved this movie since I saw it as a lad (on its initial theatrical release, yikes!)
I remember singing the song Velvet Goldmine when I was way too young to understand it. I slooshied lots of glam rock in my pre-tween to early teen years. I didn't know anything about the fashions surrounding it, I just knew I liked the music.
I agree that there was only one good movie in the Pirates threesome - though even that one was significantly overrated. Now that it has been followed by two overblown, plotless and mind numbing sequels, I doubt I will ever want to revisit even the relatively decent first movie again.
I'm off to see Sweeney Todd tonight, so I'll toss my two coppers about it when I get back.
