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'm afraid you do, although you may not realise it. I think we all have something like that, that we do without realising it.
It's just...annoying when it constantly pops up at the end of a sentence. Like this - "Ok it's a bit late lol:S" in the topic heading. It's a little thing, but it's little things that niggle and, sadly, affect the rest.
What I'm trying to do here is suggest to you why people (the "crowd" from this thread) seem to think you're stupid/immature or whatever, as you expressed a desire to find out earlier. I'm just suggesting ways to avoid this thought.
> emoticons are right and that using them is right or whatever. I

> trivial now I think about it.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It isn't about that. I'm saying it gives off the impression of immaturity, even stupidity. You asked before about how to shake off the image or whatever (don't make me quote again, please!) and you could easily do this by altering your emoticon style of typing. You don't even have to drop them, just use them less often, place them better (ie not straight after something) and just use traditional ":)" or ":D". The reason why smilies such as ":S" make you look stupid is that it's a stupid face - it doesn't even look like one. People just think "What the hell? He's a moron,"
Maybe they shouldn't, but they can't help it. You might call it a gut feeling. Sometimes you have to go with your gut, right?
It's such a small thing, is it not worth a try just to see the change? I'm not asking you to change here, in fact I'm not asking you to do anything. I'm suggesting that you alter the way you convey your message, not your message. Changing :S to :) isn't torturous, is it?
> Is anyone really THAT bothered?
Again, it's about the impression that it gives off. It colours everything else.
...Tinkas' last post was...surreal...

I don't mean to disregard what you say. I am taking it into consideration but just feel it's really trivial and petty especially considering I don't use them much anyways.

Ahhhhhhh nuts. Your sooo typical. Has everything really got to be direct to your needs? If you understand it, you knew it before me. If you dont understand it, its gay.
What if there isin't a point. Its just there like earth. just floating in ancient space. So if you don't get the meaning of something, you unanemously vote against it. LIKE DOGS IN THE PARK. FOLLOW INSTINCTS.
Stupid?! Question?!
Take the d!ldo from your own ass before you shove another into mine and accuse me of putting it there. Ever again.
BAH! Am going to bed you've ruined everything.
G'night. (Yes even cancer-sending vermin need love.)
I am being civil I just don't want to be changed. I am not saying emoticons are right and that using them is right or whatever. I really don't think you can be right or wrong on something that trivial now I think about it. Is anyone really THAT bothered?
I would also like to point out I haven't used an emoticon in aaaaaaages anyway. That's not because you told me to but because I really don't use them that often.

Sorry, explained in earlier post.
But you aren't being civil, you're blatantly disregarding what I'm saying. You're not taking it in. You're just arguing again, I'm not doing that for yet another time.

Sorry, this was posted before your post Cubist, my computer spazzed up and took ages.
Now, you're still not being open minded here, are you? The post that I've just quoted isn't inaccurate. You're just not willing to accept that the views of someone else can be anything but wrong all the way. Just entertain the thought for a moment that you might not always be right.
You're being incredibly difficult for no reason. EB and Unbeliever can both see that.
I'm trying to have a reasonable conversation, and you just won't play. Why not?
And let me just clarify again: it was you who asked what to do, with this:
"Finally I except that there must be some truth in it but no one has told me what idiotic things I say or do. How can I be expected to progress if I can not see the flaw?"
I'm discussing this civilly, and you won't.

See? The truth is, he just doesn't want a civil conversation.
