POTC: At World's End

Just got back from seeing POTC: At World's End. All I can say is... Wow. While it isn't a perfect film by any means, it totally redeemed the steaming pile of nothing that was Dead Man's Chest. This was a worthy successor to the first film - filled with insane chaos, betrayal, uncertain loyalties, triple-and-quadruple crossing, action sequences that served the plot instead of the other way around, and most of all, it was fun.

I think I shall have more thinky-thoughts later, especially about Elizabeth, who I think is one of the most interesting female characters in a long time. But sleep first.

Definitely one to watch again - I might even borrow the second movie and rewatch it in the light of this. Hey, it might improve.

Well, that's a novel marketing strategy

Media Rights Technologies is suing Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, and Real Networks for not using its DRM technology

Interesting... Perhaps these guys went to the same marketing school as FanLib? I can't see MS, Apple or anyone else running out to use their products after this.

And since I'm feeling linky - here's more Star Wars goodness happening at Celebration IV. *Sigh* I'm so jealous of those of you on my flist who actually got to go.
