Yo ho ho. (Arghhhh)

Today was a great day.

Claire got her plaster taken out and had the pins removed. She still needs to undergo Physio but at least she’s mended.

I sent all the Physios (and those in training) a text message about it with a note “Now she needs Physio, know anyone?” It was meant as a joke, but since then I’ve been inundated with referrals to really good physios. They are great girls. Love em all.

As a bit of a celebration, I took both of the kids to see Pirates of the Carribean 3. I’ve heard some pretty bad reviews about it so I thought I’d add my two cents.

Yes it wasn’t as good as the first, but that is mainly because of the “surprise value” wearing thin. We’ve got used to the mannerisms of the main characters. We are expecting Jack Sparrow to say something witty or off cut everytime he opens his mouth.

It did take a while to start up I think but it is painting a story.

Will admit, didn’t quite understand the whole going to the end of the world bit until they got there. I then realised I had seen that bit somewhere else before. (Has anyone seen Eric the Viking)

The point is that with trilogies (or however long these movies go (five I heard)) they have to tell the story over the whole duration of the franchise.

I loved the wedding scene. To me, it’s the best wedding scene in movie/tv history. Much better than Scott and Charlene’s. (Not that I ever saw it.)

I can’t wait to number 4.

The only real criticsm I’d have is that it took Jack way too long to kill Davy Jones. But, hey, if I could make a hollywood picture, I wouldn’t be living in Albury.

To me, it was worth going. Great way to end the day.

PS:

This one is for ‘t’.

I didn’t mind Ms. Swan having to take her gear off. It was part of the story and you didn’t see anything. Wouldn’t you ask someone to strip down if they were carrying the amount of weapons she was?
