"Have we sent the 'don't shoot us we're pathetic' transmission yet?"

The supervisor is gone today and the company decided to let everyone off at 1 p.m. I've pre-recorded my voice mail and made a sign for the door. *revs engine*

I had plans this weekend, but I canceled them. I'm feeling drained and stressed and just don't want to have to deal with having house guests this weekend.

Might see Pirates this afternoon. Depends on how nuts it is at the theater. I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of days. It's funny - with this series I don't really even care that much about the plot. I just *love* this whole world they've created. The story could involve Will, Elizabeth and Jack having a giant discussion about chickens ("Bit of a scrawny pecker you've got there, mate." "Are you mocking my chicken?" "Yes. Right. Chicken." "Ugh. Boys and their constant need to compare chickens."), followed by a sword fight over said chickens, and I'd sit there gleefully eating my popcorn. There really aren't very many movies or shows that I can say that about. Usually my brain kicks in.

ETA: Seem to be developing a headache at the moment. Think I'll catch a morning show sometime this weekend as loud pirates doesn't sound too good right now.

manticoran reminded me a few days ago that I'm supposed to be writing fic. *ahem* Yes. Fic. That. Right, still no plot structure. Hmmm, space pirates? Okay, that would be pretty lame, especially since the Doctor mentions space pirates at the beginning of the fic as a *joke.* Problem is, I'm just not really a plot writer. *pokes brain*

ETA: I guess when I say I'm not a plot writer, is that I'm not used to writing plots. It's basically an excuse because it's HARD to come up with something half-way interesting. I should just do what the show does and pilfer past episodes, right? Oh, I crack myself up.

I agree completely on Pirates. Absolutely no substance or plot is necessary, just really awesome sword fights, cool ships, and Jack, Will and Elizabeth in some combination. I'm excited to see it, especially after seeing a couple people on my flist go, "oooo, goooood movie!"

But that would make it ironic then, wouldn't it? ;) And space pirates are cool! You could have debates over which were better, space pirates or space ninjas. Maybe there could even be space ninjas who then fight the space pirates in a battle to once and for all decide the question!

"Bit of a scrawny pecker you've got there, mate." "Are you mocking my chicken?" "Yes. Right. Chicken." "Ugh. Boys and their constant need to compare chickens."

HA! I could honestly hear them having that argument.

I'm dying to go see it. I tried to talk the hubby into it last night since but he was far too sensible about having to work today. Hmph.

I haven't clicked on any spoiler cuts, but non-spoilery reactions I've seen have been that this is worth seeing. YAY!

BWAH!!!

"What do we do, Doctor?"

"In an epic showdown between space pirates and space ninjas? We hook up the bigscreen in the media room to the TARDIS monitors and break out the popcorn, that's what we do! It's gonna be brilliant!"

HA! I could honestly hear them having that argument.

:D Will would be all ernest in defending his chicken while Jack would have an eyebrow raised...

Pffft! Pirates are more important than work!

Everything is innuendo with Captain Jack. That's a universal fact. Doesn't even matter which Captain Jack you are talking about.

*throws arms up* That's what I said!

This is SO true. :D

I don't need no stinking plot. I would be perfectly content with the Doctor and Rose doing unspeakable things to each other in the TARDIS.

"Doctor, should we really..."

"AAAAAH!"

"But..."

"What did I say about this?"

"Yeah, I know. What we're doing is unspeakable. But I'm not quite sure I get it."

"Just wait."

"We really need sunglasses?"

"Yup."

"And boots?"

"Oh, definitely boots."

"What's with the blancmange?"

"You'll see."

"Can we talk about it after it happens?"

"Absolutely not."

"So after this, we're still planning on sex later, yeah?"

"Damn straight."

Kidlet was most disappointed we wouldn't take him to a show last night. We are going at 2:15 this afternoon. Hubby is charged with pre-buying our tickets. I will pick up the kidlet at school at 1:20 and meet hubby at the Edwards Theater on Mountain.

You're welcome to join us but I don't think you could make it by 2:15 if you dont' get off work until 1....

How funny - I was eying the 2:15 showing myself! But no, kinda doubt I could make it to that Edwards by 2:15. :D

Hey, that Old World Deli is right near there, isn't it? On Mountain? I keep meaning to get back there to buy a bunch of string cheese. Best string cheese ever! Nothing like the crap they sell in the stores.

The story could involve Will, Elizabeth and Jack having a giant discussion about chickens ("Bit of a scrawny pecker you've got there, mate." "Are you mocking my chicken?" "Yes. Right. Chicken." "Ugh. Boys and their constant need to compare chickens."), followed by a sword fight over said chickens, and I'd sit there gleefully eating my popcorn.

Saw the movie last night/early this morning and OMG so worth it, and without giving anything away, you're not that far off the mark...you'll see.

*snickers* Can't wait! :D

It's funny, the hubby and I watched Dead Man's Chest earlier this week and we realized exactly how much innuendo there was in that one. It makes me wonder exactly how much was scripted and how much was just the actors taking the ball and running with it. Either way, I hope it's the same for this one.

I'm guessing a bit of both. I mean, just about everything can be turned into innuendo if you try hard enough.

Bwah. That was awesome.

Oh yeah, you're gonna love it.....trust me...more Jack goodness than you ever could imagine.

WOO!

the only bad thing about the movie, is now I want to go to Disneyland and ride the ride! Am even going to be in So Cal this weekend, but it's so freakin expensive to go! *sigh*

Yeah, *totally* expensive. :( Of course, you could always just watch the video. Heh.

Yeah, that's all I've seen, too. Spoilers are bad! But I'd been a little worried about the movie given that critics seem to dislike it, so I was glad to see people on LJ enjoying it. Critics are horrible judges of movies, anyway!

We hook up the bigscreen in the media room to the TARDIS monitors and break out the popcorn, that's what we do!

HAH! I can just see them sitting back, munching popcorn and providing commentary to the big battle.

Yes, Old World Deli is like 2 blocks further up Mountain. And in retrospect, we are now going to the 2:05 showing at the Krikorian in Chino instead. Turns out the 2:15 show was at the Cinemark, not one of the nice new theaters. At Edwards it was 2:45 and Rob thought there would be more kids out of school by then....

It's funny - with this series I don't really even care that much about the plot. I just *love* this whole world they've created. The story could involve Will, Elizabeth and Jack having a giant discussion about chickens ("Bit of a scrawny pecker you've got there, mate." "Are you mocking my chicken?" "Yes. Right. Chicken." "Ugh.

Thank You!! I was trying to explain to my dad this afternoon what it was about the Pirates series that I love so much, and why I don't care if it gets bad reviews, and this just sums up the exact reason why. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with the first movie and then the series just continued to drag me in and I was more than happy to comply. :)

Can't wait to see it next week, after my sister finally comes home.

It's just fun! Doesn't really matter if it has the best plot in the world or not. Pirates are fighting with swords! :D

You. Said. Chickens. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

I did! Um...

You'll see!
