xiphiasActually, a double feature of Finding Nemo and Pirates.
The non-spoilery-bit -- I really enjoyed both movies.
First -- AAARRGGH! I've REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to do something in a roleplaying game where the heroes are gonna be on this ship, see, and there was gonna be this bunch of zombies or skeletons or other undead who were gonna be attacking them, and they'd expect them to be coming by boats, but really, the undead would just walk across the bottom of the ocean and climb aboard. But now people will be EXPECTING that.
Just, in general, good plot. Few people acted stupidly. Liked Capt. Jack's plan. "Hmm. I'm gonna be fighting an unkillable undead monster. Better get ME some o' that good undead mojo first, just to be on the safe side. . . "
Y'all did stay till the end of the credits, right, and saw the bit with the monkey?
Lis made an interesting point: Wm. Turner Sr. was last seen heading to the bottom of the ocean, tied to a cannon. But, see, the curse had already hit at that point, which means that he was unkillable. He had ten years to work himself loose from those ties -- think Turner Sr. is still around somewhere? Or did we misunderstand how the curse worked?
