Anyone else on the Board care to share my excitement - I’m going to the 8pm showing of “Pirates” Thursday night. Don’t care if I have work the next morning; don’t care if 2nd movie was so-so. I am so pumped for this!!! Barbossa! Captain Jack! An undead monkey!
Aye, I be on board as well, mate! Though we weren’t able to get tix for anything earlier than Saturday evening. Ah well, I’m such an insufferable spoiler addict I know how the damn thing ends already anyway. 
Counting the minutes! And yes, I’m dressing up, because I’m just that dorky! Pirate skirt, striped stockings, At World’s End T-shirt, bandanna, hair-trinkets, cutlass and compass!
what?
Well, while I haven’t bought my tix, you can add me to the excitement! I actually rather liked the second movie, even if it wasn’t the best thing to come down the pike. I am really excited!
Saturday afternoon, coming to a theater near us! Ordered our tix straight from the theater, over the Internet. This is a movie every one in the family (parents, teen-age daughter, 10 yo twins) is psyched to see, ASAP!
We won’t be getting dressed up, though. But I’m sure the kids will be talking like pirates for a few days after… 
Friday 11:45 am, tickets purchased for alternate parental unit and the 2 kids. Dad is letting them skip school. (It’s a family day, that’s the ticket). I have to work, but will hear every bit, word for word, from the 8 year old.
POTC I and II have been in continuous re-run for the last week.
(All the Werewolf/Mafia/Pirates XVIII people will be carefully watching this thread. . .)
RogueGF and I have our tickets for an 8:00pm showing Thursday night. How nice of Disney to allow it to open early enough for the kids to go. (I would rather they hadn’t)
I may try a Sunday afternoon showing. Otherwise, I’ll go Monday in the early afternoon (like at one or two.)
My SIL and her fiancee are going to a showing at the El Capitan in LA. I am very jealous.
I think I’ll watch both this week, just to get ready!
Arggh!
It’s getting bad reviews, but it’s critic-proof as far as ticket sales will go. I thought the first one was okay, but too long. Skipped the second one and will skip this one as well. Those of you who can’t wait to ogle Johnny Depp dressed like a pirate for three hours, have fun!
I thought this thread was going to be about virus protection(until I read the rest).
My wife and I are big defenders of the second one. It really works upon multiple viewings.
We’ll be either opening weekend or soon after.
Thank you, I will!
We.
Don’t.
Care.
The Goose family collectively has to wait until Memorial Day Monday, noon-ish, to see this, due to conflicting work schedules for everybody involved. 
We wish the Avon did midday matinees (“The biggest screen in Decatur!” plus they show cartoons and have 6 flavors of popcorn courtesy of Del’s Popcorn, also a local institution), but they don’t, so we’ll have to settle for the Hickory Point 12.
I liked the second movie; I thought it it advanced both plot and characters admirably, and had plenty of Bruckheimer action. I also have a secret crush on Geoffrey Rush, and I’m SO glad he’s back…
Yep, I bought tix online last week. We’re going Saturday night 7:30 pm. Looks like a great ride!
I got my tickets for a Friday, May 25th showing at 8:30pm in a suburban Tokyo cinema. At the same time, Tokyo Disneyland is having a Pirate Gallery showing artistic scenes from the newly-refurbished attraction opening in July.
For those who thought the second one was a bit much, Bruckheimer and Verbinksi have already been on record that this one is even more dense!
I love them all (yes, even this one, even though I haven’t seen it yet). Great cast (and not just the front three pretty people- I always get a kick out of Jack Davenport whenever I see him in something), fun stories, neat FX… I get exactly what I’m looking for- a swash, a buckle, and a fun afternoon!
Ah yes- the Captain Jack edition! If it’s the same “update” as at the Anaheim park, it’s not bad at all.
So you wouldn’t describe yourself as a discriminating movie-goer I take it?
Warning: slight thread-shitting ahead. I’ll spoilerize it just so that I don’t seem like such a jerk.
I personally thought that the ending of the last one would have been just as subtle if then entire cast had turned to the camera, waved, and said “See you next year!”. After hours of just wanting a conclusion, all I got was an ad for the next one.
Here’s to hoping this one is good.
Watch Ebert & Roper, do you?
