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.

No, you wont. But at the moment you just look a little immature.

No, you wont. But at the moment you just look a little immature.
You don't have to stick to that rule. Nobody will think you're weak.

I can't, then I'll just look weak because I couldn't even stick to a rule I set myself for more than few minutes.

I can't, then I'll just look weak because I couldn't even stick to a rule I set myself for more than few minutes.

In person? yes I just pretend it doesn't get to me but I amn't half as intelligent as any of them so making witty comments and taking the pi$£ out of them is impossible as they just make wittier comebacks in half the time.
As for not taking any crap well I lasted like that for about a week. I just came across as moody and brooding though so they ended up not talking to me and I was left alone.

I said "playing the martyr" not "being a martyr". You've heard the phrase playing the martyr before, surely?
And now you're just being silly, "Someone please tell Blank that blah blah"

And these are your friends?
I'm not going to say make new friends, because I know it's not that easy. Just don't take any crap, do you not find it easy to stand up for yourself? Then don't think of coming into the force. Just take the P*ss out of your mates back. If you are the butt of all their jokes then just leave them. Not easy, but, hey!

But you can! Please, Cubist, please see that you can.

Can someone please clarify for me that for you to be a martyr you have to be dead? I don't want to reply to one of his posts but I want to know what he means by that comment because I was sure you have to be dead to be a martyr.
Don't reply to my posts if you don't want to, but please read them. I'm being serious, open and honest.
You do care, you've admitted that. These things will change the rest of the forum's opinion on you. You'll seem more intelligent if you take time over your posts. And no one's opinion of you will become worse for making these changes. It's win-win.
