Took the kiddos to see the latest Pirates movie, I had seen some grumbling on the interwebs on this movie, so I took them to see the early show on the weekend. Like feeding a pack of wolves, the kids ate up $40 in tickets and snacks like it was nothing. The theater it was in was too small, and that was a bit of a pain in the ass. We survived and we enjoyed it. I set my mind to cabbage mode and didn't want to think about the plot, characters and so forth from a critical standpoint. I was surprised that it was entertaining and the characters did well, the loss of the main damsel and lead male role was a downer that you obviously see with the film, but it turned out all right. In retrospect I wouldn't fight the crowds on a Friday night for this, but I enjoyed the previous three films and it was a nice addition. Sure they leave it open for another sequel, but I didn't feel bad or wonder what happened. Go see it on a hot as hell day to escape the sun.
Next up... Super 8 this Friday.
