Resurrecting the Movies thread...

I'd love to see that bit, too, Kat - and Geoffrey Rush is always a joy. But...I...just...can't.
I'm going through another "I refuse to sit through mediocre movies" stage, and I haven't even seen Brokeback lately!

Not to say Pirates III completely sucked. I enjoyed it, it was just disappointing. I completed the trilogy and will probably have to buy the DVD just to complete my set.
Jack is still Jack which is always a plus and I did enjoy the quadruple double-crosses they had going at one point. By the time Keith Richards showed up, I had completely forgotten he was going to be in it. He looked perfect, played his part perfectly, the director made him comfortable and did not ask too much of him. Heh. They probably didn't bother with any makeup for him.
If you do go, it's very long, so don't drink too much before hand and stay for the end of the credits. Unbeknownst to me, all 3 movies have a final scene at the end of the credits and I missed this one as well. I'll have to check my DVDs for the others.
serious crayons:
Keith Richards, in my book, can pretty much do no wrong (he and I even share initials!). Sounds like his role is too short.

Yesterday I watched Terry Gilliam's Tideland and I'd like to nominate it as one of the most underrated films ever. The bad press and my disappointment with The Brothers Grimm prevented me from seeing it at the theatre and now I really regret it. It might well be my favourite Gilliam film ever, I loved it!
Some people have compared it to Pan's Labyrinth because both involve a little girl escaping into a world of fantasy but I think it is superior. I became emotionally invested in Tideland very early in the film but for some reason with PL, it was the opposite, I lost the connection early on.
I'd love to hear what others thought of it.
ednbarby:
Wow - I'll have to check that one out, oilgun. I *love* "Brazil" - and if you say it's superior even to "Pan's Labyrinth," I'll have to see it.
Thanks for the recommendation. :)
