I know it's a bit late but I wrote one for Ciao and thought I'd also post it on here as a GAD attempt only to find they don't sell that particular DVD. Hmph. Ack well I still thought I'd post it here for you guys to view. Enjoy:
Pirates Of The Carribean
------------------------
Don't you just love it when you're walking through you're local HMV and find a gem of a DVD in their half price sale? You know what I mean, a film like Gattaca or Top Gun. Well Pirates Of The Caribbean may not be as innovative as Gattaca or emotional as Top Gun but this is definitely a modern day masterpiece that you definitely wont regret paying full price for.
By the director of the popular horror film, The Ring, Gore Verbinski has delivered a spectacular film with a cast that some directors can only dream of. The up and coming A-List elf Orlando Bloom delivers a surprisingly good performance as the dashing young Will Turner, the dazzling Keira Knightley who plays the perfect love interest and Cap'n Jack Sparrow himself, Johnny Depp.
Mr. Depp delivers a stunning performance after a fair few years out off the movie making game in his come back film, and what a come back it is. His fabulously camp performance as the comical yet skilled pirate of the seven seas is one that simply does not disappoint. His cheeky little comments provide well-needed light relief in this otherwise generic pirate movie.
"Welcome to the Caribbean love!" Says the apathetic scally wag in an attempt to get Keira to loosen up and drink some Rum. Just like a real pirate. It's grade A material I'll tell you that.
Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a good film without him only that without Cap'n Jack this film would have far too much doom and gloom for your average viewer, which, in itself can be comical.
The plot itself is a solid one typical of the genre and as you would have guessed from the 12 certificate it's a bit darker than usual for a Disney film. The CG for example allows us to see the skeleton remains of a crew of the damned. Probably not a good idea to play the lenient parent with this one and show it to your kids. I'm 16 and still jumped out of my seat the first time I saw one of them!
However this is not about me looking like a jumping fool in the cinema. This is a list of my opinions; you may not like them; you may not agree with them but don't argue! "Do you think it wise to cross blades with a pirate” I don’t! So go and buy a copy from the shops or plunder your mates house and take his for a stunning adventure on the high seas.

I am done trying to get you two to kiss and make up, but I'm here to talk. So, what you been up to of late?

Ok E_B, thanks for being a mediator as it were for the past few posts but I can understand why you are giving up. I am not far away from it myself.

But I haven't even known you here for one year.
And it really is no use saying "I have never had a civil conversation with him" because I'm here. Ready and waiting. I'm civil for the next...however long you need. Fire away.

Me = giving up.
You girls fight it out between yourselves.

I was on these forums for just over 2 years and as I have said never ONCE had a civil conversation with him. Is it so strange that I have given up on ever befriending him?
I would be more than willing to patch things up as it were if I saw any evidence that it would actually change anything.

Cubist, I try to have civil conversations. I'm trying now, I have been all day.
The thing is, whenever I try, you turn it into a you-against-the-world battle in which you have to defend everything you've said without contemplation that you might be wrong.
If you just entertain the thought that you might be wrong for a moment, you'd do a lot better. If you step back, look at yourself and realise you're in the wrong or have changed your viewpoint, then no one will think any worse of you. Honestly. If you just come out openly and say it. Prime example: Belldandy in Life. That's one of the reasons he's often made fun of, because he just will not change his opinions gracefully despite it being painful to everyone else involved.
But at the moment, you seem to be too afraid to step back in the first place.

Cubist, just give him a chance...god I feel like a girl.

See, it's impossible to please anyone. If I talk to Blank it ALWAYS results in confrontation and I ALWAYS end up saying just go away because I don't want to fight.
I thought not engaging in conversation with him and would cut out all possibility of an argument and since I was the one who turned away and said look lets just stay out of each others way and not talk I'd at least look remotely mature for that.
But not I look immature for not talking to him and am told I should talk to him despite the fact I have never once had a civil conversation with him.

That's the point I'm trying to get across here. Ignoring somebody gives off an even more stubborn impression. Me and 'Bloke cane give you an objective view here - nobody will think you're weak, that's a conjuration of your own mind.
