It's all over the flist, I couldn't not post it!
Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that I am or have been been involved with, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.
Two other points:
1. Saw Pirates 4 today! And it was a lot better than I thought it would be! I really benefited from being free of all the entangled subplots of the last two movies and starting fairly fresh. And also Penelope Cruz was fantastic and I don't know why she wasn't in all the movies. And I have some spoilery thoughts but they'll have to wait till tomorrow when by some chance I may have caught up on comments or something.
2. Have been keeping TGWTG reviews on as I work for background sound, and in light of the recent crossovers I am discovering another reason why I love Phelous so much: he's basically the No Sell of the cast. People keep trying to construct plot threads and events and tie-ins around him, and no matter how dangerous or eventful said plot thread is it loses power simply because he ignores it. If he weren't already a Time Lord I would want to write a fic where he's a part of a different Lantern Corps whose rings are powered by skepticism.

Penelope Cruz is amazing. I have a very high opinion of her since watching her in Spanish movies instead of all the romances she was stuck in in the English language for awhile. Now she seems to be getting better English stuff too, as well as going back to Spanish movies, so whoo!
Oh my god how old is this post
...yeah, that kind of thing. For some reason I love the idea of them having another person in there to kind of even out their two personalities. But without that third person, I always imagined Polly deciding that they were going to jet off to Paris or Berlin or New York, and Ben putting up a token protest but coming along because, well, he's come to like the adventure too.
Oh, yeah, I wasn't really familiar with Penelope Cruz at all until I saw her in Volver, and she was amazing in that - just so perfect for the strange, off-kilter atmosphere that Almodovar's movies can create. And I think she has been getting much better film roles that let her show off, but I'm glad she was also in something fun like a Pirates movie.
