Saw PotC 2 yesterday. Profoundly silly and not as good as the original, but still cracking fun. Critics can go stuff themselves. Don't seem to remember so much Jack/Elizabeth wotsis in the first one (I haven't seen it but once, so I may be misremembering things), but after what happened w/X3, I'm past being amazed at what people can and will do with beloved and logical franchises. Two things though: I did not expect the part of Davy Jones to be played by Cthulhu, and Keira Knightley in pirate drag? Heartily approve.

2. Reasons why my manager rocks: He makes fun of stupid customers with me when we have to score my call obs (After a particularly dim-witted one: "Did you understand everything he said?" "Yes." "Did he understand everything you said?" "..." "--well, I understood everything you said. Pass."), and he likes Firefly.
3. The Lost episode where Claire and her baby get baptized? Annoys the shit out of me and makes no sense whatsoever. In general, the interpersonal tension on Lost is starting to get silly. I don't care if Jack and Locke are duking it out for superiority and leadership, give me more polar bears!
4. I take back what I said about Ana Lucia. She is totally hot and I don't hate her anymore.

Adrienne, when's your train getting in? I hope it's early, because the scheduling people at work have me waitlisted for Friday. Johnny says he'll take you to the gayborhood if I can't get off work.

Thoughts:
1. J. Michael Straczynski has read his Tolkien. Not just the big epic War Against the Shadow, but the little things-- some of the speeches, a random reference here and there indicate he's thought a lot about it.
2. Ivanova and Talia Winters? That was not subtext. That was waving "Hi! Lookit me! Hi hi!" supertext.
3. Nobody understands my love for Garibaldi/Franklin. Nobody. Of course, I am not discounting the great fondness people seem to have for Garibaldi/Sinclair, but I haven't seen season one yet, so I reserve my judgement.

Disillusioned climate activist, Rick Yeager realizes two things: first the human race is finished, and second, since it's too late to do anything about it now, he might as well look for something else to occupy what's left of his time. Burn some diesel in a four by four truck? Climb some hills? Fall in love? That would be fine, if he wasn't still so angry!
