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.

Seemed like a good idea at the time. I hate him to an extreme level, I wish he would go away and never come back. He'd never do it willingly though therefore cancer or some other kind of life threatening illness or situation would get the job done. It's a horrible thing to say but he's been nothing but horrible to me since the first time he posted in one of my threads and over the years I have grown to loathe and detest him.

Which ones? Apart from the cancer one which I realise you all think is sick of me I thought I was being a lot more passive and trying to be a lot more sensible.

Nah the anti-Cubist brigade has been around for ages, almost as long as the anti-El Robin brigade.

Yes, in *your* mind it isn't a large change and isn't worth it. You've asked for the opinions of others, they're being given. You asked how not to appear stupid, and that would help a lot. Believe me. When you read something written with full use of capital letters etc throughout it sounds more intelligent then a post with impossible-to-tell-what-the-hell-is-going-on emoticons after every line.
Another piece of advice: stop being such a stubborn bassturd.

Well, you obviously do. Hence asking for opinions from me and others.

And you wonder why? Read some of your replies in this thread and try to pretend you're someone else just casually reading...if you don't get the idea quickly I think there's little hope.

You think you've got it bad, I had to conduct my first strip-search the other day.

That's because that particular piece of advice was in my mind not worth it. I believe it is such a small change that it would change nothing and the people who do hate me because of it are pety and I don't care about them anyway. You get it Blank? I don't care about people like you. You're the person who I keep complaining about hounding me and my threads and then you give me advice?!? Take the hint and go away.

There you go, right there. You ask for the advice then chuck it back as soon as it's given.
Me/others: Why do you do this? / Stop doing this / This is annoying
You: well tell me how to change! cant do anything if I don't know what to change lolheh0:S
Me: Here's what to do, see, it's what I said earlier.
You: well thats your problem!
Why even bother to ask at all?

Yes, but to join the crowd there has to be a crowd to start with. But there wasn't, there was me. Little me.

If you're pety enough to hate someone because they use emoticons then that's your problem not mine. I don't think it makes me an idiot only that it helps to convey things such as facial expressions which implies certain tones of voice which in turn influences the way in which the reader assimilates the information. Well that's my theory anyway. Disagree if you wish.

Martyr? What? You keep saying things like that as if I said once in my life.
