So, ya'll realize that Dead Man's Chest was reaaaaaally thorough in their research?

And like, th_nightengale meta'ed really much a lot about that dice game, Perudo, they were playing, it's historical accuracy, and how it relates to characterization of Will, [spoiler character], and [spoiler character].

Her post is here: so about them dice...

And we're pretty sure as to the dice-faces and to the bets that actually occured in the game, seeing as we've watched the game five times already (::covers eyes:: I know, shaddup), and took paper notes.

In other news, PotC:DMC looks REALLY FUCKING AWESOME on digital projector.

That is all.

I just don't GET why people were saying it sucked because it has so much mythology and research in it, let alone myths and old sea legends and lore! *wallows happily in researchy geek glee*

[permetaform]

People were saying it sucked? o.0

And yeah, SO MUCH with the myths and legends and religions and just. ::WALLOWS WITH YOU::

Yeah a few of my friendslist were saying that they preferred the first film, or they didn't like this one very much but I think maybe those people will see that THIS particular film will make sense in the context of a trilogy when the third film comes out.

...

they.

::le sigh::

::headdesk::

did they not see the locket? The tinkly heart music that was playing whenever it refers to davy jones' heart? The locket that, HEY, Tia Dalma 'randomly' owns? ::headdesk headdesk::

skdhf

See, this is why I'm not seeking out Pirates stuff 'cause I just know I'd get frustrated. ::facepalm::

I know, I'm eagerly anticipating my next viewing of the film and I'm going to see a subtitled one so I don't miss out on any important dialogue!

[permetaform]

OOO, they offer subtitles on movies?

[sassygirl.livejournal.com]

I was very pleased to find this website www.yourlocalcinema.com which tells me all about subtitled viewings of films in Britain! So far, to date, I've seen Walk The Line, Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead at the cinema screen with subtitles! YAY!
I missed a LOT of info with Pirates:DMC so I am eagerly awaiting the second veiwing!

[permetaform]

Ahhh, Britain. Brava on them, 'cause that's just cool!

I thought I saw that! I thought maybe I was just putting bunnies in where there were none!
Plus there is that 'I know the story' thing that came across as either very self important if that teeny locket shaped piece of plot is missed or as a nice little hint of what real importance she has rather than Exposition Queen.
I think it was nicely hidden behind Jacks kleptoness, if people are busy mentally telling him off or la la laing it away, they will miss it completely.

Also, wallowing is just the perfect term for such wonderful researchy meta.
*sings* ... down in the hollow.

You always bring us the best meta. =D

::nods!:: I thought so too! It was a very mutitasking thing that they were doing with those shots, I love how well put-together the movie was (and though I could tell they were using n00bs to edit the cannibal scenes ::facepalm)

::grins and bows:: glad you like

I'm wondering if there's any significance to the fact that the ring Jack stole was right next to the locket. It may have just been an excuse to zoom in on the jewelry, but it would be cool if there was something special about the ring.

[permetaform]

heee!! good thought there as well! I keep on wondering about that, esp because Jack put it on the same hand as the one with the black spot!
