"I know those guns! It's the Pearl!" Again.

My last batch of idle thoughts on PotC, from today's (fourth) viewing. Last one of these, I swear. Topics and questions include (but are not limited to) Norrington, velcro, roast pig, the healing abilities of the undead, Barbossa, and the love song of Jack and his lady. You know the one I mean. ( Cut to spare those who are sick of this movie. Besides, this is really long. Even for me. )

More *Without a Trace* spoilers

A good, kind person sent me a couple of spoilery recent-ish WaT clippings, and I thought I'd share in case anyone else missed them. Thing is, my scanner hates me and the articles have already been moved into the paid-access archives. So the text is here, no link, don't click on the cut if you don't want spoilers. Obvious, I know, but just today I've already seen five different people getting yelled at for spoiling others when all the spoiled person had to do was not click something that was clearly labeled as spoilery, and the afternoon isn't even over yet. Sheesh. You guys wouldn't do anything that dumb, but this is public, after all, and one never knows about the world at large. Both articles mention that spoiler, plus tiny Danny spoilers and some guest casting news. Nothing for Viv. Poor Viv. Or maybe that's good, considering.

( From the Houston Chronicle (no date, but late July, I think)- very pro-show and no spoilers until the end )

And one article for which I do have a link- "Looking for Latinos", from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Vaguest of vague Danny spoilers, nothing very useful or scary. Danny-content is mostly along the lines of, "[Enrique Murciano] plays a character named Danny Taylor, an FBI agent with no apparent trace of Hispanic heritage," that sort of thing.

I thought he was pretty obviously Latino, myself. What does his name have to do with it? He doesn't count as Latino if he's not named Guzman or Hernandez? Whatever.

"Oh well, I to the bad guys."

That interpretive-LJ-art thingy is just too much fun (if you haven't tried it yet, type your LJ name after the question mark in the URL). ( Highly addictive. It's like beat poetry written under the influence of many, many consciousness-altering substances. )

Right on, daddy-o.

"Between the Cracks"

carolinecrane, you were totally right. "Our favorite boys go apartment hunting on the government's dime," indeed. What a great moment that was. I just love subtle subtext.

I vaguely remembered being disturbed by this episode the first time around for some non-plot reason, despite how sad that was (poor Becky/Eve). It was because ( ... )

Martin looked really skinny in this episode, and a bit tired as well, poor thing. I just wanted to feed him soup. Or have Danny do it, whatever. Except Danny was too busy head bumping that Goren creep, which I loved. So passionate, that man. I do like to see him get worked up. Too bad Martin missed it.
