You can just stop after "hot".

He sure is but he has a bad habit of stealing the sheets at night.

innerSpaceman · 11-05-2009, 07:54 PM

Is he still a toe sucker? I didn't think that would turn me on, but he had a knack for it.

Of course, that was a long, long time ago.

I just mentioned your question to him. He just said, 'Steve, who?' to me.
Nice try, iSm.

I was known as Raoul back in those days.

Through work-related circumstances, I read the screenplay for this about a year ago. (It was for a project that didn't end up happening, but it was fun while it lasted.) It was amazing to see what a Bruckheimer movie looks like on paper. No scene has more than three or four lines of dialogue, and those lines are always as short as possible. Frequently, there are instructions such as "highly choreographed fight here" of "amazing effects sequence here." You can almost see the rapid edits and hear the whooshes (oh gawd how Hollywood loves whooshes) in your head while you read.

This kind of thing is never my cup of tea - all flash and zero human interest, with smug one liners substituting for wit or characterization - and I'm tired of over-designed movies that look like they were created completely with ones and zeros; slick, pretty and hollow. On the other hand, it's an appealing cast. A maybe rental from me - but this is currently my very least favorite genre.

(I know that the studio is hoping for a potential Pirates-sized franchise here. But in the screenplay, at least, there is no Jack Sparrow in the wings - in other words, no character with any character. But a lot can change in a year, I guess.)

Although Jake is gorgeous and wonderful and is trying really hard to make that accent work, I don't think the movie will be any good. It'll be number one that weekend it opens because of all the hype and the millions thrown at promoting it but after that it will fizzle. Just a feeling. The same thing will happen to 2012. I don't think anyone is listening about having more quality movies out there. Once a crap film makes money, why try so hard and improve upon a formula that makes moolah? Sad, really.

***ETA: This isn't a reflection on the OP. Just a curmudgeonly look at big budget movies coming out since CG took over.***
