No, don't worry, there used to be a time when I took the Pirates movies seriously too. I think I was cured of that notion when I tried watching At World's End at home and...

"Wait. Wait a second. This movie doesn't make any sense. But...I mean...I liked it. I remember liking it in the theaters. Why doesn't it make any fucking sense now?"

It was a little hard after that.

Of course, the ficcish perfection of That Scene in Dead Man's Chest is kind of ruined by the fact that it's his dad holding the whip. But I pretend he isn't there, so it's okay.

Hm, that explains it. I haven't seen AWE since my first viewing. Perhaps I was just awed by the giant screen.

And yes, pretense is good. And necessary. Highly necessary.

...swear I did not see that pun at all.

*giggle* Neither did I, until you pointed it out. But you're quite right - I think all those colors and all that sound just overrides one's higher thinking centers when it's on the big screen.
