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 object to all of this. I have been nothing but civil and polite to you and you have still called me stubborn and narrow minded. I can't think of any good reasons not to try your idea it is true and therefore I should try it. Apart from anything else though as you said I've not used it since Thursday and you still call me all those names so it can't be making that much of a difference.
Can we please just get past this, I don't want to argue with you at all and I know I may seem narrow minded and stubborn but I just want to stick keep that part of my posts the same as before. I know I asked for advice and you have given it but can you please just let me choose not to follow up on this piece of advice?
Apart from anything else you'll probably get your way anyway as I have said I don't use them much at all so you wont see them anytime soon.
Anyway that's all i have to say on the topic. Can we please, please change it now? I don't want to talk about this anymore and I'm sure you don't either.

Look at the topic title. A prime example. When was that, Thursday? Hardly ages.

Yes, it's a piece of advice. But you're being stubborn here, because you aren't even registering it. You're just saying "Yes, it's advice, which means I can ignore it." You're looking for reasons not to take my advice here. And if I'd said it as a command? "I don't have to listen to you dictating to me what I should and shouldn't do"...
It's silly, why not just try it and see? Why not? Because you're still narrow minded to the whole thing. You're feigning change, really we both know you're the same Cubist.

You've just shown that you aren't paying the slightest bit of attention, thanks all, and goodnight.

I haven't used them at all in ages. What more do you want? I don't use them often anyway and currently amn't using them at all and you reply with that. Ok i've not changed anything just there hasn't been an appropriate time for one yet but still I haven't used them and that's the point.
If you don't mind me saying you seem overly concerned with whether or not I take your advice or not. I mean it's just a piece of advice. Can't you just accept that I don't want to take that and go past it without just regressing to our previous arguing state when I wouldn't even talk to you? I mean come on it's not that important.

Shoots all in this room.
Problem solved.
Problem solved.
You didn't take it into consideration. You merely restated what you've been saying all along in a slightly more polite tone. And tried to justify yourself by comparing to others "because they use way more emoticons than I do anyway so yer but noo but yer but shatap you don't even know what yur talkin' bout anyway shatap!"
I suggested trying not to use them as intensely just for a while and see what happens. You won't even acknowledge that.
You probably are an idiot, and I probably am wasting my time. Sorry to get agressive again, but it's like talking to a brick wall. Only far more frustrating.

What? I still think we are getting somewhere. Just because I don't agree with one piece of advise doesn't mean I am a complete idiot or whatever. I appreciated the advice and took it into consideration, what more do you want?

I thought we were actually getting somewhere for a minute there.
Maybe you actually are a complete idiot, and I'm just wasting my time.

Well if it's only a suggestion then I shall make the choice to stay the same as I am right now. I appreciate your advise however I am choosing not to follow it. This is not me being difficult or stubborn or whatever I just don't think I need to make that specific. Change, I mean look at Little Miss DW. She uses more emoticons than me. Do you mind if we steer the conversation away from a convo on my failings now?
