Pirates of the Carribean Mini-Review

Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean last night with "My Gay Friend" Penelope. I give it a "good, but not great". Points off for over-the-top, totally unbelievable action scenes that didn't really look very cool. But points back for some over-the-top, completely unbelievable action scenes that did look really cool. Points off for Johnny Depp not playing Jack Sparrow and instead playing "Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow". (Which saddens me because Johnny Depp is totally the bees-knees.) But points back for Keira Knightley being totally hot and kicking some ass.

Best conversation of the evening:

ME: Eh, it was pretty good. Tell you what, though. Keira Knightly is smokin'' hot.
P: Eh, she's okay, I guess.
ME: Are you kidding me?!?
P: Well, she was really cute in Bend it Like Beckham. I liked her in that.
ME: Hah, she was, like, 14* in that movie. You cradle-robber! That's dirty. And hot.
P: ...
ME: But you are right, she was totally hot in Bend it Like Beckham.

* -- She was actually 17. Which is totally legal in PA.
