Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest

That line was a howler! Loved it, as the rum scene was my favorite in the first one.

Jack Sparrow: No good! No good! What're you doing?! You're burning the food... the shade... the rum!"
Elizabeth Swann: Yes, the rum's gone.
Jack Sparrow: But why's the rum gone?
Elizabeth Swann: First, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into vile dispicable scoundrels. Second and more importantly, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me, do you think that there is even the slightest chance that they wont see it? Give it an hour or too, keep a weather eye open and you'll see white sails on that horizon.
Jack Sparrow: But....Why's the rum gone?

I don't remember that but I like the cliffhanger concept. I think that's what is keeping people interested in the Harry Potter series of 7 books and movies.

The entire theater erupted in applause Friday night at Pirates. I can't remember the last time I heard that.

I love that Pirates was inspired by a Disneyland ride. It's not weighty, intellectual, highbrow fare but it's a great summer action movie.

I did see Superman. I thought it dragged and was almost boring. I hated the "Truth, Justice and all that stuff" line, but the character that said it is kind of a slime anyway so it fit, in a way. It's not like they had Superman say it. But then the liberal weenie moviemakers made a point of saying it was to appeal to a global audience. C'mon, the movie started with

-----SPOILER ALERT--------HIGHLIGHT THE FOLLOWING SPACE TO READ!!

the Space Shuttle, the Air Force and a Baseball game

It's obviously American.

I do have a question re: Superman. When was it supposed to take place? They had all old cars and fashions but fax machines and camera phones, what's that about????

I really don't know the time frame of "Superman Returns". When I was growing up, he was my hero big time, and that was in the late 40s and throughout the fifties. I watched George Reeve play the man of steel every week on TV. Then I went to see Christopher Reeve in Superman I & II. I think Chris and the whole cast did a great job in those first two movies. After that the sequels turned to garbage, just bad films. I would never spend one cent to see the current version. The American public feels the same way. The movie suffered the biggest drop in revenue for a second week performance in recent times. "Superman Returns" is toast domestically. Reading BoxOfficeGuru.com it is not doing well overseas either. The Democrat liberal vermin never learn that hating America does not pay at the box office!!!
